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.

My family has frequented this space for their Mother's Day and Easter specials. The service and the…read morefood have drastically and continually taken a downturn. 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.

Ample space for the 100+ people in attendance. Room was setup with a stage and seating in rows for the audience. Decorated in a very goth way. Lots of stairs to get up to the grand hall.

This is a top notch venue, with great service, beautiful grounds, and a lot of interesting things to look at! We had a small party (around 50 people) and all of our guests raved about it. We had a gorgeous afternoon/evening, and our guests were happy to mingle on both the covered deck and the patio, as well as stroll around the grounds and down to the huge lower patio. All of the mentioned places have a beautiful view of the Mississippi and bluffs. The kids at the party LOVED running all around and watching the tugboats and barges on the river. We brought a bunch of things to occupy them and literally got nothing out, as they were happy for the entire 4 hours running around the grounds. The venue provided the set up, linens etc, as well as the bar services. They recommended a caterer, Gregory's Creative Cuisine, which we used and were also thrilled with. They also provided security for parking, as the parking is on the street (though there is a long drive where you can drop off and pick up guests at the door). The security guard was very friendly and helpful. I believe he was an off duty or retired police officer for the city as well. I'm not one to feel nervous in the city but it was a nice touch. As a bonus, the welcoming committee was a quartet of beautiful chicken ladies, which also thrilled the guests! Overall, just a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this venue for an unforgettable party. I know that the guest of honor and our guests won't forget it any time soon!

We had our wedding in the Missouri Botanical Gardens in September through Catering St. Louis (the…read moreonly way you can reserve an area in the botanical gardens). We regret this decision. The wedding itself was beautiful but the entire planning process and getting Catering St Louis to actually work with us was a NIGHTMARE. First of all, it's a full non-refundable deposit that you must supply to hold your spot. This is also rain or shine, no refunds. We knew this and accepted this, but then (after we paid) they sent the full package with other restrictions we were not expected. No signs, no glasses or anything breakable. The seats that day will be set up for the largest group of the day, so if you have a small guest list compared to the other weddings occurring that day, too bad. You have to pay an additional $300 for a golf cart if you want help transporting people to the wedding site (NOTE: this only applies to the wedding party! They don't want you to use it for all your guests). Additionally, if this golf cart breaks down, too bad, they only have one, there goes your money. For a $3000 non-refundable deposit, you think they would provide reserved parking for at least the Bride and Groom. NOPE. When we met with Catering St. Louis representative, she assured us since it was a wedding earlier in the day, that we would find parking, but nothing was reserved. When I arrived with my parents in my dress, there was NO parking. My dad had to drop us off, park somewhere a mile away, and then RUN to the ceremony site. This was absurd. We talked with the folks at the botanical gardens themselves after this, and they said they would have supplied us with reserved parking if Catering St. Louis would have talked to them. ALSO, the people with Catering St. Louis refused to meet and work with us/answer questions until a month before the wedding!!! It was incredibly frustrating not knowing what was going on and what else we had to do. The only support we actually got from them was the ONE meeting with the Catering St. Louis representative less than a month before the wedding (which wasn't even in the botanical gardens, they met us in a cafe), and during the rehearsal. We got an hour for our rehearsal time and that process was smooth, but nothing was set up, and there was no way to hook our music up and to coordinate that. During the day of, the rehearsal coordinator gave us our ques to walk and then left. We would NOT recommend having your wedding at the Botanical Gardens through Catering St. Louis. We are SO glad we didn't use them for our reception.
