We got married a week ago today -- and have been reveling in how much we enjoyed our festivities,…read morewe know that was all due to the level of detail, commitment to theme/culture, and fun that Sam + Lindsey gave us! If you want to feel like your best friends planned and coordinated your wedding - Gingko + Grove is the only way to go! We had a traditional Sikh/Indian wedding spanning the whole day and two venues. During the planning process Sam + Lindsey were always punctual, took detailed notes, and always aided us in bringing our vision to light and advocating for our wishes (that sometimes we mentioned but were willing to forego) - Sam + Lindsey helped us achieve all of them! No task to small, no vendor timeline or delay insurmountable. From our first call with them their vibe was positive and the best can-do attitude - when we shared we were having a traditional Indian wedding, Sam + Lindsey came to our first meeting knowing and using the appropriate and respectful terminology. They were confidently humble in every regard! They were the first ones there and the last ones to go - reaching out to our vendors or designated family whenever needed to insure things went smoothly - while they did check in with us throughout the day - it was never about the event - but always for what we needed, they insured we had a private moment after our ceremony, that we were fed, hydrated, and having a great time!! It was hands down the best investment we made for our wedding! We would not have been able to enjoy or make the memories we are reveling in today, without Sam + Lindsey & Gingko + Grove! ~Srinivas + Mona

I was here for an event.They had complementary valet parking, so I used it. Tips are encouraged,…read morenot a mandatory, it was mentioned on event's info. Once I tried to get my car back, I asked the valet if he can break down $$$, so I can give him $ tip. He said yes and handed me only $ back. I told him that he still owe me $. He gave me another $ back. He tried one more time so hard, and I finally got my $$ back. Trying to keep customer's money like this, is not nice. Especially at a venue like this. Place is really cool old brick building. We were upstairs with gorgeous St.Louis view! They need to hire qualified people for their valet parking.

We toured the NEO several times even after booking just to make sure we got a good feeling for the layout and had several chances to ask questions. There is always a staff member there to stop and talk to you, which was nice! Cathy, the owner, lives out of state, but is available via email what seemed like 24/7! She never complained about my numerous emails and always provided me with respectful, prompt, and detailed answers! The night of her staff was nothing short of amazing! I didn't have to worry about a single thing the entire night. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a large St. Louis venue! Oh and they have free valet and overnight parking!

Restrooms - 2/5 Too limited for a large conference and were not kept clean. Location - 2/5 Inconvenient from the city of St. Louis, but convenient to the airport. However, unlike other convention centers, the food options within a short walk are very limited. On-Site Food - 1/5 "Made with apathy." Some of the least palatable food I've ever eaten, at airport prices. Staff seem listless and have no desire to be helpful. This seems like a horrible work environment. This is particularly concerning given that the convention center bans attendees from bringing in outside food.

my first visit here was definitely intriguing…read more the people here were nice and staff was non-hostile and friendly. there was a variety of rooms and subjects. the cafe at the hotel was a bit unorganized which had the farthest of my concern. same thing goes with some of the tables, but that's about it. the outdoor food tent was mighty concerning. I'd be more pleased if I didn't go into details. the tea was good though, (sorry I couldn't finish it). the entire place seems organized and non-hostile except for most of the nooks and crannys (corners, trash cans, little pieces of matter on the floor, etc.) other than that, nice place. the mascots are pretty.

Attended a wedding reception here recently for a cousin who got married, and we had a great time! I…read morehad never heard of this place over in St. Charles and it was a little hard to find... it's off the beaten path a little and behind several buildings. Seems like kind of an odd spot, but as long as you're using a GPS you should be good to go! They seem to have several different rooms here that can be utilized all at once. As we were walking in the main doors, we heard a loud "SURPRISE!" coming from one of the neighboring rooms. Regardless of how much was going on, the reception we attended was great. Let's start with the top priority: the drinks were strong. Totally solid. The food was A-OK, and there was a good variety of things. My favorite thing to eat were the pumpkin & red velvet cupcakes at the end... yum! From what I hear, you can design your own package and figure out what food would work the best for you. The dance floor was a good size and everything was fun and comfortable. One note, though... don't try to bring in your own wine. They'll take it away. Who brings their own wine to a wedding, anyway? Okay, it was me. Great place to have a reception or party. We had a great time at All Occasion!

It's a large venue with lots of space to spread out, including a top floor and basement we never went down to. We enjoyed sitting on the back patio. A stand out to me was the nice bathroom.

Every booth had something unique to offer, from classic London drys to wild botanical blends I'd never even heard of. The bartenders were super knowledgeable and happy to chat about flavor notes and pairings. Plus, the live music and food trucks gave it the perfect laid-back festival feel. Highly recommend pacing yourself (and bringing a friend who loves gin as much as you do). I left with a few new favorites and a smile that didn't fade all day.

The wedding I went to there was great, with pretty much no thanks to the venue. The "light show"…read moreduring dancing was awkward at best. The two men's room toilets had no door and no walls, respectively. One lady's room stall had a view into the kitchen. Most glaring, the in-house DJ was awful. Right after the first dance, he decided, without permission or even awareness from the newlyweds, to play some sort of elaborate military tribute. It colored the whole rest of the night, and not in a positive way. During the night, he just looked so upset to be there. At the end of the night, he chimed in to warn drivers away from a certain neighborhood in the area, claiming it was the "Ferguson of South County", a pretty clearly racist statement. If you rent this space, make sure the bathrooms are fixed first, and definitely bring your own DJ.

Attended a friend's wedding reception here, some pros and cons:…read more Pros: * Prices are competitive for venue rental, a DJ and bartender are included in the price * They appear to have no restrictions on external caterers * Far as I could tell, the owner (also the DJ), had everything set up on time, and the venue decor (medieval German kitsch - lots of dark stained wood trim, fake stained glass, and photos of Neuschwanstein) was delightful Cons: * Bathrooms are weird: men's bathroom has two sit-down toilets completely open to the room, one dividing wall but no doors, women's bathroom was 'vaguely creepy' * As the first song after the couple's first dance, DJ/Owner blared an orchestral rendition of 'Dixie' complete with slideshow of Confederate war veterans and climactic unfurling of the (modern) U.S. flag, to 'honor veterans, police and firefighters' - totally lost the room, made a lot of people uncomfortable Bottom line: great for the price, if they made it easier to poop, and picked a less *frightening* song to honor the troops (maybe try Toby Keith or Faith Hill next time?) would be an easy 5-star.

I hosted a surprise party here for my husband's birthday, and it went off without a hitch. Adisa and Adnan answered all my questions quickly in the months leading up to the surprise, and because an event was not planned the night beforehand, they even let me come and drop off beverages for chilling. We had Aya Sofia (Mediterranean restaurant in South STL City) cater the party, and they did a fantastic job of coordinating the drop-off and pick-up of their serving ware, and the food was a hit. We had an open self-service bar, which guests appreciated but did get a bit crowded as a lot of people tend to gather near the huge kitchen counter where the bar is located. The facility does have one step inside, but the Atelier 1879 team has made their facility fully accessible with a portable ramp that fits nicely over the step. Adisa and Adnan have thought of everything! Parking was not an issue for our guests. It's a residential neighborhood and is positioned next door to Yemanja Brasil Restaurant (which is delicious!). All in all, I could not have asked for a better venue and experience.

If you are considering this venue for a wedding or event, we strongly urge you to look elsewhere…read more We booked them for some wedding-related events and ultimately had to take them to court over several clear breaches of contract -- and won. The issues included charging us for services that were never provided, making false claims to withhold our deposit, and failing to honor major terms of our alcohol agreement. Their own attorney acknowledged in court that the venue was not equipped to manage an open bar for an event of our size, despite representing otherwise, accepting payment, and signing a contract stating they could. In our experience, this organization prioritized collecting payment over delivering on its commitments -- a particularly disappointing quality given that it presents itself as a religious organization. If you do move forward with them, ensure your contract is extremely detailed, and document everything in writing and photos -- that evidence was essential in our case. If alcohol will be served, we also recommend verifying that their liquor license is active before signing anything. Good luck!
