Perfect in every way

I would highly recommend this place for any event. However, if you’re looking for a place for your wedding and reception, look no further, this place is great. The owner/chef is amazing. He is meticulous with details and helps you through the entire process. He always replied to any questions I had and was very kind. The food was a big hit from us and all our guests. I couldn’t have asked for more. Pick this place, you won’t regret it

Perfect Wedding Venue!

Bellecourt is the perfect venue for a wedding or any other memorable event. We had our wedding at Bellecourt Manor, and it could not have been more perfect! The food was amazing, and people routinely comment on that when our wedding comes up in conversation. The owner and manager were so eager to help us make our wedding visions become reality.

Since then, we have attended several other events at Bellecourt, and the quality of food and service is constant from one to the next. Bellecourt is one of the few places we can always count on for an excellent event.

The Bellecourt buildings have so much character, and they are unlike the average venues I've seen. For our wedding in Bellecourt Manor, we had use of the entire building just for our event. The bar is its own area and there are several other rooms where people could sit and talk outside of the main dining room. The ballroom is just stunning with hardwood floors, and decor that works easily with whatever the theme of the event is.

Bellecourt is amazing, and it's an excellent choice for making your wedding day completely perfect!

Bellecourt Banquet Center did a phenomenal job with my wedding on 4/16/16. The manager Ellie Miller was very prompt with reply emails and phone calls. She met with a several times prior to the wedding and allowed us to see the inside of the venue ample times. The serving staff the night of the wedding also did a fantastic job. No beer bottles, dishes, etc. were ever left on the tables. The staff even allowed my husband and I to be served dinner while others got up for buffet style dinner. This was extremely helpful as we had a lot of guests to mingle with and allowed us to eat quickly. I would highly recommend Bellecourt to anyone in the Belleville, Fairview Heights, O'Fallon, IL areas!!! Outstanding value and outstanding service!!!

My bridal shower was held in one of the smaller romms at Bellecourt and it was just perfect! All the guests commented on the elegant, cozy atmosphere and delicious food. Ellie and Tim were very easy to work with and accommodating too. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable day!

When we booked Bellecourt for our reception we knew of their reputation for quality but had no idea how they go above and beyond with service. At the last minute, the person who was to emcee and announce us couldn't make it. Tim (the owner) stepped in and handled it like a pro!

Bellecourt Place and Manor transformed into my Winter Wonderland Wedding. Tim and Ellie were a pleasure to work with and my guests were blown away! The food was absolutely incredible and this venue offers the best balance of a traditional feel with the ability to become a modern masterpiece!!

I could not have been more impressed with our venue and the Bellecourt staff. First off, the venue was beautiful. Our reception was in the restored Masonic lodge that had been converted into a reception venue. You could feel the history in the building. The interior was very classy and had rich, dark woods to compliment the vintage vibe.

Ellie and Tim were wonderful to work with. They were willing to work with us and our budget to create the perfect reception. They met our demands at a great price. Not many other places were that flexible. They cater in house, and let me tell you, the food was incredible. The guests thought so too. Ellie and Tim also created a pie bar for us with 7 different types of pies and cheesecakes. We didn't want the traditional wedding cake so this complimented our ice cream bar well. Guests raved about the dessert! Also, the service was on point. The waiters and bartenders were personable and quick.

Bellecourt was so beautiful and was the perfect setting for our wedding reception. From the beginning, Tim was so helpful with everything...even things that were not related to the reception! We asked him SO MANY questions (they were probably silly!) and he answered them all with so much patience and was so incredibly nice. We visited many other reception locations and no one was even nice to us most of the time. At Bellecourt, I felt like I was actually someone important, not just another bride.

Also, the food at Bellecourt is absolutely amazing. I have actually been there for a Christmas party and a baby shower and every time the food was phenomenal. It is NOT your typical "banquet food."

I would highly recommend Bellecourt to anyone looking for an elegant, fun, and unique wedding experience. They were SO wonderful.

In response to the previous review about the chicken being unseasoned: I read all of the other reviews and it seems this person is just trying to find something to complain about across the board. Anyone looking at weddingwire, check out Belellecourt for your wedding. You will not regret it.

Bellecourt was PERFECT! It is such a beautiful location for a reception. I know they also have a ceremony option, but we just had the reception there. The food was AMAZING and the staff was nothing less. They were so professional and just wonderful. They made the evening just perfect. Anything we needed, it was no problem and they accommodated it. All they way leading up to the wedding, the manager/owner was so helpful and answered every question we could have ever thought of. He was so patient and extremely knowledgeable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Seriously, the food is amazing. It is NOT your typical wedding food. I have been to almost every banquet center in St. Louis and St. Charles and nothing beats Bellecourt.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
