Amazing venue!

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!!

We just can't say enough great things about the facility and staff that Magnolia Hotels has put together in downtown St. Louis. We actually found them by accident via a google image search of local wedding venues and couldn't be happier. After checking out nearly 30 venues in the greater St. Louis area, Magnolia became our final stop.

Alen Mrkic, who is coincidentally no longer with the hotel, was absolutely fantastic getting us started and acted as a quasi-planner for us early on. He ended up transitioning us over to Katrin Blake and Nikki Sydlow with a few weeks left before the wedding. They were equally fantastic!

The entire food and beverage staff was incredibly professional and accommodating. The food was phenomenal, the service was phenomenal, and the rooms and general hotel staff from the valets to the front desk staff were incredible.

Absolutely perfect! The Magnolia Hotel went above and beyond our expectations to help celebrate our gorgeous wedding day! We had booked the hotel long before the renovations were completed and it couldn't have turned our more beautiful, the lobby, the chandeliers, each little detail combines a modern look with a vintage feel. Alen was there for us every step in the planning process and was extremely helpful! Both of our families were from out of town so having the reception and hotel together was very important for us. I heard nothing but compliments on the professionalism of the staff and the accommodations! As far as the reception the food received raving reviews, the set-up was immaculate, and the service throughout the night was friendly and attentive. I can't say enough about all the great work the staff put in to make our wedding day special and have no hesitation recommending Alen and his team for your wedding day too!

So happy we chose Magnolia Hotel for our wedding reception venue! I LOVE chandeliers so walking into the entryway was spectacular! We had a lot of out of town guest so having the reception in a hotel made it super easy to for guest to easily know where to go and rest in between the ceremony at the church and the reception. Alen was wonderful and answered all of my questions leading up to the big day and was available on the day of for even more questions. He always said it is your day, make it how you want! We could change things up on the menu, layout the ballroom how we wanted, and add in all the little details to make it the perfect day!

I cannot even begin to explain how happy my husband and I were with our services at the Magnolia. We had our ceremony and reception at the hotel. The coordinator, Alen Mrkic is hands down the reason our day was so perfect. He was quick and kind to answer ALL of my questions. The day ran beautifully and smoothly because of him. The best part is that he comes with the booking of the Magnolia's event space. He should be an extra charge for everything he did!! The hotel is absolutely stunning, the food was delicious, and the staff was friendly and very accommodating. We received a room upgrade (from our already free room) to the Cary Grant Suite. It was a classy and gorgeous room that we used for our first look and several intimate photos of just us two. I promise, you will not be sorry if you go with the Magnolia.

We had our wedding and reception at the Magnolia. It was awesome. We could not have had a better day, and a great deal of thanks for that goes to their catering and event manager Alen Mrkic. He was highly professional and we felt like he took the steps necessary to ensure that our wedding day and the days leading up to it were great and as stress free as possible. He and the Magnolia staff worked well around the things that we wanted and worked well with our wedding planner and other vendors. We stayed the whole weekend and even got our room upgraded. Everything was great.

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.
