The owners were there the entire time and were friendly and accommodating with various requests. Barn venues for weddings are all the rage and this location was very impressive. First impressions when arriving... wow, clean, organized and impressive details everywhere. The wedding service was performed here. Valley Farms had a nice outdoor area set up overlooking pastures. If the weather was bad there was an option to bring it inside. The main barn for the reception looked to have been built for receptions. Big enough to accommodate probably over 200 guests with room for DJ and a large head table. Prior to the reception, there was an outdoor bar with seating everywhere. Here the wedding had appetizers and cash bar. Only ding was the option for liquor, beers and wines. (Barefoot wines...not exactly high quality). They had a few animals out and a tractor hay ride (without hay) to take the wedding party out for pictures. A nice area for a bonfire once the sun went down and temps hit 50's which was a lot of fun. I don't have the cost, but in the wedding reception market, it's competitive but compare apples to apples. In the end, Valley Farms was very impressive in the setting, atmosphere they created for an outdoor, barn feel and everything looked brand new and well taken care of. You can see the pride and attention to detail the owners have.

The location is BEAUTIFUL and the staff was amazing. From helping me get ready to helping with photos, they went above and beyond. Beautiful wagon ride to take photos around the lovely property after the ceremony and a bonfire to roast s'mores. Everyone loved cocktail hour on the patio and Sugarfire catering did not disappoint! The pricing was also amazing compared to everywhere else we looked. Bridal suit was beautiful, grooms room was perfect for the boys, and restrooms for guests were clean and stocked with a variety of supplies. Wonderful selection of drinks at the bar. Would pick Valley farms 1000 times over!

DO NOT HAVE A WEDDING HERE!!!! Simeen is horrible to work…read morewith and does not honor all her husband promises couples. they never meet with couples at same time, he lures them in with promised and she does not honor them!!! Venue is outdoors so beware that their is NO place to go inside if bad weather and they charge extra for every little thing!!! For the price of the venue, you get nothing else from them. So many venues out there that will cater to a bride and groom. you cannot decorate reception area until 6pm, which means YOU are NOT decorating it due to being at the wedding sight. more money to spend as you would need to hire someone to decorate it for you. Guests cannot be at reception area until 630, so by time everyone is shuttled up there, do dinner, cake, toasts etc, you will be lucky to get 2 hours of music and dance. It has to end at 10pm in spite of the contract stating you get venue to 11pm, that last hours is so YOU can clean it for them since they do NOTHING!!! Bride and Groom suite are on a hill that you get at 3pm, so have hair and make up done before you get there a you get time to change and then go do photos before the ceremony. Not sure why she wont let them have these sooner, no one is using them. Bride will walk down hill that has a gravel path to wedding sight, I just see issues with that, falling down, twisting an ankle, dress being filthy. We tried to work with her, she was very difficult. She took our money and refuses a refund of any kind because she is a greedy you know what!!! I hope these reviews are worth it, I paid for them so enjoy these Simeen!! They also say they can cater a smaller wedding 75 or less. We asked about this and were basically told we really should use a caterer!!

After searching several locations in the St. Louis area we just couldn't find something that wasn't the typical banquet hall or golf club. We both knew we didn't want a barn wedding or a city scape wedding either. Something in between... The Vineyard at Riverbend Chapel is just that! From the gorgeous views, to the beautiful chapel... this location makes for a perfect indoor or outdoor ceremony. The outside ceremony overlooks the bluff and the river, and the inside has tall ceilings with glass windows, a gorgeous arbor, and can be candlelit all the way down the aisle. The outside is breathtaking and the inside is romantic and traditional. Something for everyone! The reception ball room is gorgeous too. They have so many extra amenities that they offer at no additional cost. From the event planning team, Toni and Tonya, to the serving and event staff they were absolutely professional and made our day run so smoothly. I felt at complete ease with them. Not to mention the food choices are absolutely delicious. I really can't say enough good things. If you are getting married in Missouri or surrounding area, it's absolutely worth checking out. My guest still keep saying how beautiful it all was! Thanks Riverbend!!

This year for my birthday my wife planned a weekend away for us. We dropped our kids off at their…read moregrandparents and then headed out. We wanted to get out of the city so headed 45 minutes west to the edges of St. Charles County. We stayed at an amazing AirBnB (Red Mule Ranch) and then decided to go to Cedar Lake Cellars. There are a ton of wineries in the St. Louis and Southern Illinois area. I've been to a lot of them, but had never been to Cedar Lake Cellars. It is a well known winery and event space just west of St. Louis. There are two main options for when you go. The Barrell Room is a large barn that has a mixture of beer, wine, and mixed drinks. This is the more casual of the two areas. There are large tables inside, and then an open patio area. The Barrell room doesn't have food itself, but just outside is a BBQ stand that also caters to patrons sitting outside. This is where my wife and I sat for about an hour or so before dinner. It had a lot of bachelor parties and larger groups. This area also has live music on the weekends. The second main place to eat and drink (skipping over the outdoor BBQ area) is the restaurant and tasting room. This is more of a formal dining room. The menu was modest but had a mixture of steaks, sandwiches, soups, and appetizers. The prices were very reasonable, and we very much enjoyed our food. The service was good, although maybe a bit overworked, and overall we had zero complaints. I got prime rib with two sides for around $35 which is a great deal. I was actually surprised at how reasonable the prices were. It just makes it that much easier to order a couple glasses of wine. Beyond the two main indoor/outdoor eating areas there are a number of other wedding venues on the property. There is also an stage and the venue hosts outdoor concerts. When we were there this aspect of the property wasn't being used. The overall property felt immense. It is a shame as it definitely felt like the winery could have a lot more people there than we saw, there were probably 75 tables/benches (or more) outside and only a handful had people. It could be that the heat was keeping people away, or just that wineries are declining in popularity from their peak a few years ago. Either way, we had a great time.

The atmosphere was laid-back, relaxing, and the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a special day together. The food was delicious, and the frozen sangrias were absolutely divine! One of the best touches was receiving a complimentary wine glass with every drink, which made the experience even more memorable. The staff was welcoming, the vibes were chill, and the entire winery had such a warm and inviting feel. This is by far my favorite winery, and I can't wait to come back. If you haven't checked this place out yet, do yourself a favor and visit. You definitely won't regret it!!!!

It was also pouring unexpectedly but that's no ones fault, obviously. The venue was clean but acoustics does make average conversation sound loud that I had trouble hearing the person next to me or the bartenders. I did the non reserve wine sampling which allotted 5 samples for $10. Many of which were made on property with Missouri wines and some west coast offerings. I tend to go for sweeter wines and found my selection to be quite palatable with two standouts as my favorite with the Schitts and Giggles and Lauren's Sweet Vignoles. I really would've preferred the tasting to be separate from the big room and more intimate as to learn more about the wine. Once poured, I was largely left alone standing at the bar where they only offer the sampling and so I felt a little awkward. One gentleman poured rather large portions while the other gave the appropriate amount. A water chaser would've been ideal between both to cleanse the palate. I do think a more intimate setting for sampling is preferred so I am not competing with the rest of the room and I am able to ask questions. The bartenders poured and left and you were on your own!
