My wife's cousin held her reception here. They did a nice job setting up the main wedding venue…read morearea and there were perhaps 75 people in attendance. We then went across the street to Slate for the reception. Since it was just a reception here I can't speak to what it is like for a full service event. It is a relatively spartan even space and there aren't a lot of frills. There are high ceilings, good natural lighting from the floor to ceiling windows, and the area is open and airy. It is on the first floor so you get people walking by and starting, but that isn't a major deal. The area leading to the bathrooms/back rooms was kind of exposed and inelegant which is the only reason I'm giving it four stars.

Every year a partner and I plan a "Back to School" party for our school. The attendance is normally…read morejust shy of 200ppl. This year our party was at 612North. From the very beginning, I knew that with Christina and her attentive team that we would be in great hands. The venue (612North) is housed in the once estate of Henry Shaw (Missouri Botanical Gardens). The look and feel of this venue is very a very on-trend and chic-poured floor, exposed brick sort of gig. The killers are the very tall picture windows on three sides which view is the newly face-lifted Gateway Arch. It was very fun to hear the gasps as people caught the sights and realized they could "almost touch The Arch". 612North Catering: Foodstuffs are created by the talent behind Drunken Fish...yes, their bespoke sushi is available, but also many other flavors and textures that show Drunken Fish and associated companies to be au courant and very formidable in St. Louis party eats. Macaroni and Cheese with shards of bacon, hot sauce or other mix ins. Crispy pillowed pot-stickers dipped in salty-sweet ginger goodness. Most memorable for me was their Flatbread Board. Flatbread pieces topped with varied things creating the perfect finger food. Tops in my book was a mellow Bechamel and Caramelized Onion, Gruyere and Thyme melded perfectly on a tender crust. Items of course can be tailored for your needs and desires. Once the party was humming along there was nothing for me to worry about. A major plus. Working with Christina was a dream. Communication was open and responses immediate. A (patrolled) public parking lot is mere feet from the entrance so attendees need not worry. Coat check included. If you want a fun, hip gathering place, 612North is happening and it's happening in Downtown's Laclede's Landing. There is no doubt we will use again.

We went today for Mother's Day and our timeslot was at 2 o'clock. We got there on time. The food had already been sitting out for a while. It was dried out and cold. There were only a few items that were still warm. The coffee was cold. My two year-old nephew was in a booster seat that literally fell apart while he was in it and he fell to the ground. I asked for the manager. The district manager came out and did zero to make things right except for bring over a new booster chair he smiled in our faces and seemed like he could absolutely care less. We didn't hear from him for the rest of the time that we were there. We will never come back.

We moved our wedding from Saturday to Friday and she helped us more than I ever imagined she would. She stayed calm too! What a relief. The day of our wedding we had a wonderful woman named Linda who made sure we were as comfortable as can be. When I think of Moulin, I think of those two fabulous women who did a phenomenal job. I HIGHLY recommend this venue.

I reached out by e-mail and tried calling multiple times the week prior to my event. After going to their Facebook page to try and contact them on there I seen that they were advertising to be at a different event on the same day as mine. Very unprofessional. They did end up getting back with me a day before my event to tell me that the truck was having mechanical issues.... Which is a lie and not only that it was a day before my event. I wouldn't recommend this business for your event. Very unreliable and dishonest.

And WHY are they mixed in with real plants? Take all those out and the space would improve dramatically, instantly. 2. The CO2 canisters lining the walls? I know it's supposed to be a "so ugly it's chic look," but I think it's just fug. 3. Everything looked dated and grungy. I didn't feel it was particularly clean. 4. For the event I attended, all of the glasses behind the bar were still stacked in those crates - piling HIGH (like 6-7 feet off the ground). Nothing says class like gross blue plastic crates in the background of every picture. Disappointing experience for me.

My sister had too many people to get the nicer "ON" ballroom but the "off" was just as fantastic. It was a sit down dinner for over 500 guests. Yeah sound ambitious? Quite. The menu consisted of filet mignon, and fish or chicken. Light appetizers and all the fixings. The food was good but I think that's because I was at the "head" table. Some friends at the wedding were just getting their food as I was finishing but can you imagine how many servers it would take to serve 500 people at the same time? The view was outstanding since you are10 stories above everyone else and overlooking downtown St. Louis. The inside had loft height ceilings and other elaborate touches. The open bar ALL night was probably the real expensive aspect of the wedding. All of my in-laws are from Wisconsin and L-O-V-E alcohol. The grand total for her wedding for ~500 people was roughly $50 but that was 6 years ago. Highly reccommend Windows On or Off Washington for any special event!

I hadn't paid yet and it was such a small order, I figured if I ended up not getting it, "Oh well." They didn't feel the same way. They worked around their already booked day to get me my order and I felt like I was being treated the same as if I had spent hundreds of dollars, making my order a priority. Upon arrival, they waived the delivery fee for my trouble. Yes, there was a mistake, but they knew how to make up for it. The ices were delicious, smooth and creamy with lots of flavor.

Because our guests had a lot of food issues - gluten, nut and dairy it was a real challenge! Stephanie carefully curated a menu that hit all of our requirements. In addition, because we live out of town for most of the year, our decorations, holiday plates and whatnot were quite limited. Stephanie put my fears to rest by assuring me she'd take care of all the details. As the day of the party dawned, we had the place all cleaned up and ready. Stephanie and Mary arrived about an hour before the guests and set to work transforming our little place into a festive, inviting party spot. We had holiday cocktails and mocktails, delicious heavy appetizers and desserts that were out of this world. Stephanie literally thought of everything. All the food was labeled so our guests could choose foods that were best for their food sensitivities. At the end of the party they gathered everything up, helped set aside uneaten food for later consumption and left with very little for us to other than sweep the floor and fall into bed after a very fun and satisfying gathering of friends.
