Ameristar is a trusted, multi-venue space in Saint Charles, Missouri. Couples can take advantage of the various spaces provided, for their wedding day.

Facilities and Capacity

You’ll be spoiled for choice with all that Ameristar has to offer. The first among its crown jewels is The Ryse Lounge and Nightclub. This space is perfect for ceremonies since the adjoining spaces can be used for receptions afterwards. It can accommodate a gathering of 220. Couples can opt for the stand-alone space, the Imagination Ballroom, to celebrate weddings and dinners for up to 200 guests. This venue has a quick room flip option that makes it convenient to go from one function to the next. There is another ballroom space for you which is Ameristar’s largest. The Discovery Ballroom is a beautiful venue with a capacity of 500 guests. It can host cocktail parties, weddings, and dinners. It is possible to divide the space in half to accommodate a smaller guest list so that couples don’t have to compromise on their vision of a grand, dreamy wedding.

There are two outdoor venues - Landmark Atrium and the Outdoor Event Lawn. The Atrium is our newest stunning space on the main level of the property. It features a chapel area which can accommodate up to 100 guests for a ceremony. The area has an open ceiling and is strung with lights making it the intimate space for micro-receptions and private parties of 150 people. The Lawn is an evergreen expanse beautified with professional landscaping. There are twinkle lights and overhead strung lights which enhance the romantic atmosphere. While dinners can be entertained for a 150 nearest and dearest, a larger guest list of 300 can be accommodated for ceremonies.

Services Offered

Wedding Weekend was a HIT!

We had our Welcome Event, Reception, and Farewell Breakfast at Ameristar along with our guest accommodation. We were so impressed by the quality of service and professionalism throughout the planning process and during the actual weekend. The event managers are incredibly kind and attentive and the service staff were professional and friendly (also very attentive!).
My guests could not stop talking about the food! They loved the food. To ensure that my husband and I ate, the staff brought apps, entrees, etc to our table without asking. It was so nice because much of the time we were visiting and talking with guests that we would forget to grab a plate! But they handled it for us.
We had our reception at the RYSE nightclub. Though there were extra fees to rent the space and use the AV equipment, it was worth it. The lights brought an added touch to the dance floor, the sound system was top-notch, and we loved the details of our wedding marquee along with a video slide show of us through the years played on every TV in the lounge and club. It personalized our wedding that guests loved.

Wonderful Wedding

The entire team and environment were wonderful. We had a cute welcome gift in our rooms upon arrival and the new rooms themselves were fantastic. My Wife and her bridal party had a lovely spa day, they all raved about that experience. Looking at our actual wedding day, it was everything we wanted. The space gorgeous. The banquets team was quick and professional. They worked perfectly with our day of coordinator to really bring everything together so my wife and I could focus on enjoying the day and really being present in the moment. Miguel was our banquet captain for the day, and he was fantastic. I had requested an extra entree and a special wine bottle as part of the dinner and he personally brought them up and served us. I couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else.

Best venue!

Had my wedding at Ameristar this November, and it was an absolutely amazing venue! Our ceremony on the event lawn was beautiful, and the new Wonder Ballroom was the perfect setting for our reception. We worked with Emily Berry and Samantha Gaulden, who were both wonderful throughout the entire process.
The banquet team was exceptional. Paul, the banquet captain, made sure we were well taken care of all evening, and Jim provided outstanding service—our glasses were never empty, and he made sure we always had plenty of food, cake, and anything else we needed.
The food was top-tier- after dinner, several guests came up to us raving about how good everything was.
Everyone we worked with was incredibly kind and helpful. Before the reception began, I had a small issue getting my dress bustled, and Samantha and Paige immediately stepped in to help fix it before I even had the chance to ask anyone.
I have nothing but great things to say about Ameristar and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with a team that goes above and beyond in every way.

Rainy day beautiful ceremony

Paige was nothing short of amazing during my wedding planning. She was always responsive and polite. She kept me very informed. I never asked to many questions. My vendors had a very easy time reaching her and getting needs met. It rained the day of my wedding which was originally set to me on the lawn. I was accommodated with the atrium which turned out so very beautiful.

An accommodating, convenient, and stress-free wedding venue!

We had our wedding ceremony in the Forrest Park Room of the Landmark Atrium and reception in the Landmark Atrium. Emily was great to work with leading up to and on the day of. Overall, we found this to be the perfect venue for us as we had many out of town guests. They have a variety of different spaces to choose from too. We really appreciated how kind and accommodating/flexible all of the staff was.

Weimer Wedding

Ameristar Casino is a one of a kind venue. RYSE nightclub along with all of the other potential locations inside the casino are hidden gems. From the moment I took my tour with Emily and Samantha I knew I wanted my reception to be there. They were so amazing to work with and completely went along with everything that we asked for in the process. I would pick them and the Ameristar over and over again! It truly was the best day ever!

Our beautiful wedding experience with Ameristar from start to finish

The whole staff at the Ameristar was absolutely wonderful from start to finish our coordinator Emily Berry was outstanding she was very informative,helpful flexible, and most importantly she listened and displayed genuine care and accuracy with every interaction never getting upset or frustrated that I reached out to her multiple times and even sometimes 10 times a day flooding her with calls, emails and she answered every email and phone call each time. We both just love Emily and I appreciated her devoting her time making sure that I had a clear understanding of everything along the way. We
definitely recommend the Ameristar for any future couples looking for a beautiful venue to their wedding.We had both our wedding and reception in the Imagination Ballroom, which was a wonderful choice the space, the lighting and the atmosphere was everything that we dreamed it would be for our wedding and we must compliment the manager and staff that was on duty that night to assist us for our wedding reception,they were all extremlyhelpful,polite,courteous, Interactive and very profesional with all of our guests making everyone feel very comfortable and welcoming,which made our experience even that much more wonderful! The Ameristar the whole team you all were wonderful thanks for making our dream day/night even that much more pleasing and special!
