Anna and the entire staff at the Magnolia was absolutely amazing to work with. She was very attentive and accommodating and everything went off without a hitch on the big day! We couldn’t have been happier with the service we received at the Magnolia!

Great Wedding experience

My daughter was married here October 13th and it couldn’t have been a better experience. From the moment we booked the venue everyone we dealt with was professional and helpful. The communication was always cooperative and positive. The week of the event from maintenance to the bartenders and servers all treated the event with the care that would have if it had been their own family. Thank you so much for making her wedding so special. I would highly recommend this venue, the people here make it special.

We booked a room block for our wedding weekend and also hosted our Sunday Brunch at the Magnolia. Hannah was amazing to work with and made sure we had exactly the accommodations needed for our family, out of town guests, and our wedding party. Not to mention we had a beautiful suite for our wedding night! My dad uses a scooter and so it can sometimes be challenging to find exactly the right hotel and hotel room to accommodate him-- they went above and beyond to help us. In addition to the rooms themselves, the location was perfect. The service was outstanding, and the food was superb. We have a new favorite hotel in Saint Louis!!

I bring a classic and professional yet modern vibe to any event we host here at The Magnolia.

With years of experience in hospitality and event planning for all wedding related events, I take the fact that couples trust me with one of the most important days of their lives together very seriously and my gratitude for that is endless.

You can be confident that you are in good hands through every step of the process leading up to your special day!

I've done a few ceremonies here and the staff is so helpful and accommodating. This is a historic hotel that has been completely redone and the results are stunning. So many possibilities for photos and setups.
