The prices have gone up (then again what hasn't) but the quality is still great. But even with that the prices range from very affordable to oh my! On my recent visit I just bought a couple of beautiful stone animal carvings. If you are in old town St. Charles and like Native American art work then by all means stop in. And be careful with the little parrot whose sign says "Yes I do bite. I love people they taste like chicken!" LOL

We have been buying from the Collector's Centre for years. We have a huge collection of Department…read more56 New England Village buildings and accessories. We buy almost everything exclusively at the Collector's Centre. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and we usually find ourselves staying well after our puchase is completed to chat. They are happy to hold any item or do special purchases. This is a great to find gifts from Dept. 56, Enesco, and Jim Shore for Christmas or any other holiday. They have a great selection of figurines and ornaments. Check them out next time you are in St. Charles. Highly recommended.

Admission is free, and they always have great exhibits going on. The current exhibit features a St. Louis artist names Peter Shank that is fanciful, colorful and most interesting. This is another one of those galleries that does not suffocate you while you are trying to enjoy the displayed art, and I am most grateful for that fact. Visitors are free to wander about, studying the art at their own pace.

Outstanding work done timely with quality materials and craftsmanship. Highly recommended.read more

They have a wide selection of unique pieces that will blow you mind (At both the U City and Central West End locations). And the price range can fit any budget. Lori and Jeff are always welcoming and knowledgable. When we come to St. Louis to visit family there are three manadatory stops: Biggies Restaurant on Watson, Ted Drews, and the Silver Lady! Make sure you check it out.

The pictures really don't do justice to the beauty and grandeur of the huge spaces, which were completely transformed, which was good because our venue was not particularly attractive. It truly looked even better than what I could even dream of. These services don't come cheap, but Allison was very transparent with pricing of individual items, was willing to work with our budget, and saved us money wherever possible by reusing items between events. She threw in the most beautiful custom dance floor wrap for no extra charge for our reception, which was so appreciated! As a planner, Allison was so thoughtful and warm. With her in charge, we probably had the world's only on time Indian wedding. Allison's schedule was immaculate and I can't imagine how everything could have run as smoothly as it did without her behind the scenes calling vendors, directing traffic, and putting out fires. Her hard work allowed us to enjoy our big day that much more. Our only feedback would be that Allison put so much effort in that she was clearly stretched thin so we often felt like we had to go over the same details multiple times during the planning process and day of, some details (but not essential ones) were not executed the way we envisioned. I think this would happen in any situation where the lead decorator and coordinator of a 300 person event were the same person, so that is something to consider with bigger events. On the flip side, having the same person as planner and decorator made those two essential pieces that much more coordinated. 10 out of 10 would recommend, thank you Allison and team!!!
