I was extremely disappointed in the way things were handled regarding my attempt to book this venue…read morefor my November 2026 reception. My mom had an initial conversation with Brian then, same day, my fiancé and I had a conversation with Brian (without his wife) to specify inclusions. I told him we can pay cash (at the time $6500 which included venue, food, dessert, alcohol & DJ) and could pay it that day and he said I don't make any booking decisions without my wife-- fair, I get it no issues. They called me back, affirmed the things we discussed, the inclusions, everything. But said they wouldn't get the contract to us until after Memorial Day. Then, all of us-- my mom, my fiance, myself and both owners had a conversation where the $6500 was increased to $7500 because they insisted alcohol wasn't included in the original quote (2 beers, 2 wines and 2 signature cocktails). So we conceded and agreed on the $7500. Then they insisted they never promised a DJ in the original conversation, so again we conceded and agreed we would find our own and repeatedly confirmed $7500 cash, no taxes and no mention of any other fees. When the owner texted me at 10 PM CST (I live in Colorado so the text reflects 9pm mountain time) to ask if I received the contract I told her yes, however the contract doesn't reflect the amount we confirmed in the phone earlier that day. (It was $650 MORE) She didn't take responsibility for the bait and switch and was unwilling to make it right. When I called her husband to let him know that due to the mistrust we would be booking elsewhere he was extremely apologetic and insisted that the $650 his wife claimed we had to pay in addition to the original quote was actually INCLUDED in the quote and that his wife was mistaken. The level of disorganization & miscommunications going on here left me with the feeling of what possible issues we might have in the coming months if the owners can't even get on the same page. When I texted the wife that we would be taking our money elsewhere she said "We hope you somehow find a way to gather and celebrate the joyous occasion together in a more cost effective way. Maybe a park, or relatives home, etc..." which was incredibly rude and insulting considering money was actually no object in this scenario but rather the lack of organization, trust, and transparency in addition to the bait and switching about the overall cost. Bottom line: The husband is the one with the empathy, the people skills and the ability to apologize and attempt to make things right without insulting the client. However the person that any future clients will have to deal with is his wife who unfortunately didn't show the same level of care, empathy, and apologetic demeanor as her husband. One final thing to note-- the contract that was sent was filled out by hand and was hardly legible with all the scratching out as I have attached below. And my issue wasn't that gratuity needed to be paid or a security deposit needed to be paid, I understand those are customary in these sorts of processes. The problem was NON-DISCLOSURE until the contracting. It was the disorganization. The inability to recognize when they're wrong and unwillingness to make it right. So what was supposed to be $6500 originally got a 25% increase in fees over the course of negotiations and contracting. Overall I'm sure this venue can really be remarkable and looks beautiful from the pictures. However, my experience is a testament that there seems to be a pattern with disorganization, miscommunication etc. If there were more streamlined processes, a method for sending a contract so it's not filled in by hand, and a sales person in there who can reach out to clients at reasonable hours (not 10 pm cst) and who clearly communicate the accurate pricing from the beginning and even if there is a mistake, they can own it and not insult the client in the process and suggest we "couldn't afford" them, then this could really be a phenomenal venue. But as it stands I would strongly urge you to look elsewhere.

This business is an embarrassment to Missouri tourism. We went floating with a group of friends who…read morecame in from all over the country and unfortunately got a completely unnecessary and unrelenting dose of blatant racism from Ken, the bus driver, who held us all captive for no reason on the bus once we arrived at the river and used the n-word multiple times when describing an outdated name for a local landmark. He acknowledged that he knew it made people uncomfortable but continued to double down and repeat the offensive word, saying that it was fine because he (a white man) knew some Black people when he was growing up. After we had to repeatedly ask to be let off the bus, several of us attempted to convey how inappropriate Ken's language and behavior was. His response was to ask who we voted for in the presidential election and to dismiss us as customers when we said that should not matter. The clear message was that we were snowflakes, and if we were offended, it was our problem, and he didn't need our business. He certainly will not be getting it in the future.

Finally someone sitting at a table told us what to do. After about 15 minutes, one of the people working there came over to us and began giving us directions on how to work with the clay and a few utensils they had to use on the clay. He kept saying, just do whatever you want to do with the clay, and we didn't know what our options were "to do with the clay". When I asked for examples of what we could do, they really had no examples, and he pointed to work that was on the shelves that other people had done. It was very frustrating. We felt like little kids given some play doh. So we were supposed to get a call when our projects were done, no phone call. I finally called and our projects had been done a couple weeks prior. When I went to pick them up, they were on a shelf outside the studio, so I had no interaction with anybody when I went to pick our projects up. I would not suggest anyone go to this studio. They run it like a kids play doh class??

Staff were already set up and ready to go with our reserved tandem kayak. It is a 6 mile float trip. If you're paddling the whole way you could probably get done in 2 1/2- 3 hours but most people are gonna take it leisurely stopping periodically and swimming as you go. You can easily plan on 4 to 6 hours depending on the length of your stops. This was a leisurely fun way to enjoy the river and very cost-effective. I'd highly recommend the tandem kayak for two people as opposed to a canoe. We loved easily being able to get in and out and dip our feet in when we wanted to. Definitely bring a sun hat and sunscreen. If you're on a kayak bungee cords, or para cord would've been nice to secure our things on the back. Water shoes are pretty much a must as the shallow areas and beaches are gravel and rock. Instructions by the staff were clear as far as navigating the river, identifying a halfway point and then we had no problem seeing where we were to get out back where we started at Meramec Caverns. Other activities to enjoy onsite include: caveman zip line, grandmas fudge factory, the cave cafe, Meramec cave tours, camping etc.

This business seems to be the only rental place in region but their prices were reasonable. $6/hour.
