Our guests loved it also. Jeannie and Jim were amazing to work with. They gave us their personal touch and made us feel so welcome. They really went above and beyond, and we truly appreciated it. If you're looking for a wedding venue you've got to use the Lalumondiere, we couldn't have been happier. Our wedding and reception turned out to be so much more than we could have imagined. Thank you Jeannie & Jim! Louise & Drake

Jeannie and Jim, the venue owners and operators are a joy to work with and take great pride in the space, inside and out. Almost 50 years ago, they saved the mill from ruin and it is now a true gem. If you're getting married, and love the idea of an outdoor, rustic dream wedding, look no further than Lalumondiere. I didn't, and cannot be more grateful. Thank you Jeannie & Jim for providing the most amazing space for the most magical day of my life!!!

I arrived a few minutes before the start of a wedding and a staff member alerted me that the ceremony was about to begin and she was able to discreetly lead me in the back. That was so appreciated! My first impression was that my eyes were drawn upward to the high ceilings and noticing all of the natural light, that even on the cloudiest day, pours in. While it is spacious, at this event, there was still an element of coziness. I noticed a lot of people taking photos in front of the tall Christmas tree in the back of the room. The establishment was ultra-clean, tastefully decorated, had mood lighting, and the staff was phenomenal. The bartenders were the best! The cocktails were perfectly made. I thought it was a nice touch that in the women's bathroom there were toiletries available. Highly recommended!

The log cabins, teepees and covered wagon accommodations are incredible.

We rented the 5 Bedroom/5 Bath luxurious and spacious home July 7/27-8/2/2021, and it was perfect! The home was 4 miles from the Wedding venue, Sunflower Hill Farm, which made it convenient and easy to move between the Wedding activities and our rental property. I initially booked this property with Lauren in 2019, for May 30th 2020, but because of covid the Wedding was moved to July 11, 2020, and finally a year later - July 31, 2021. Lauren and then Jessica, both with Rockwood Management in St. Louis, confirmed our reservation, then rebooked, and reconfirmed for the eventual date that finally worked. They both were responsive, helpful, and did not hesitate to move, adjust, and confirm the property bookings during these challenging times. I so appreciated their positive help and guidance - and was relieved to know that our lodging was confirmed. I had family flying in from Hawai'i, Texas, and we live in Florida, so lodging was very important to secure. I had fresh flower leis mailed from Hawai'i for the Rehearsal dinner, and we received them at our home rental and had a lot of space to store and keep them until needed. The home was large, well - furnished, and convenient to Wine country Wedding venues, the Katy trail, Wineries, and some of the historical nearby towns. We were thrilled to have such a beautiful home to rest, relax, and lounge at .........had a family dinner Thursday night.......it was exactly the space and location we needed. The girls from Rockwood Management are Awesome! Most of us had early flights on Monday, 8/2, our check-out day.....except for our our son and his new bride, who had a late 5pm flight back to San Francisco. I emailed Jessica to ask if there was any way the two of them could stay a few extra hours.....till 2pm - and she confirmed with the cleaners that it would be fine; what a relief and some extra quiet time and rest for them after the Spectacular but Exhausting Wedding week/end. As it turned out - their 5pm flight ended up getting cancelled, and they fortunately were able to catch the last available flight out that evening - so they were especially grateful for the extra hours in the Beautiful Church Rd. home. If you are looking for the perfect gathering place, get away, while visiting Augusta or Defiance MO.............this is your place! Sincerely - Karen Gabbert and Family
