We were looking for a wedding venue which was nearly impossible with all that's going on these days then we came upon their place and it was fantastic. This is a cozy intimate venue which would hold up to 50 comfortably. The upstairs has a beautiful stone fireplace and wonderful hardwood floors , vaulted ceilings with rustic beams and old fashion charming ceiling fans and a piano available for those who are musically inclined. Upon descending to the lower level you notice the stone wall and nicely refinished stairs and once down you can't help but notice the absolutely stunning wine cellar/ dining area . There is a full kitchen and full bathroom. We had son's rehearsal dinner there with 40 people and had plenty of room , also had the wedding there and the patio made a fantastic setting for the wedding. The also operate a bed and breakfast on the property if you need a quaint close place to stay. read more

See all

Our family rented one of the two homes available at the Reserve of Augusta, MO for our son's July 31st, 2021 Wedding. 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 read more
