Excellence all around!

The MAC was the absolute perfect wedding reception venue for us. My husband proposed on the rooftop at the downtown clubhouse, and we had our reception there just over a year later! Everything was lovely. Courtney made us feel comfortable and confident in choosing the MAC for our reception at the first meeting. The cocktail hour was in the art lounge and our reception of 250 was in the Missouri ballroom. They were very flexible with us curating the menu. My biggest advice is to ask for whatever it is you’re curious about or wanting. Chances are, the MAC can make it happen and you don’t want any regrets after the fact! The venue sets the scene, and the staff make it happen. Thank you, Courtney and all of the MAC staff, who made our wedding day our favorite day ever.

In June we had the pleasure of hosting our daughter's wedding reception at the MAC. We had a year long delightful experience, from start to finish, working with Linda, our coordinator at the MAC.Her expertise and guidance assisted us in enjoying both the process of planning and the actual evening to the fullest.
Here is a sampling of the comments we have heard from our guests:
"I have come to expect usual wedding food, but this food was exceptional, and the service was even better."
"I asked our server for the alternate cake flavor while I was standing, visiting another table, and he set it by my place right away, knowing where I was seated without me telling him."
"The steak melted in my mouth" (heard this from multiple guests.)
"I went to check on my son's meal when it was served (a meal prepared for a guest allergic to nuts and dairy) and Linda was already there making sure everything was just right for him."
"The chef made a special effort to provide the bride her own special salad since she could not enjoy the one served to the guests" (without us requesting)
"The salmon was wonderful"
"Where did you get the cake? It is so good" (it was from the MAC)
"The room was so beautiful"
"The groom's family and friends are still talking about the fun they had in St. Louis and the beautiful reception at the MAC"
"The dance floor was still full at 11:30- a great room to enjoy a fun band"
As the parents of the bride, we were able to fully enjoy the evening, knowing that the gracious MAC staff was handling everything. In our opinion, the MAC is the best place in STL to house a wedding reception.

The MAC knows how to put on a wedding or large event. Everything was taken care of. White glove dinner service. Not one guest ever had to ask for anything. Water was refilled, wine glasses were never more than half empty, and the dinner was hot and cooked perfectly. Everyone was very friendly.

Linda, the on site coordinator, was great to work with. Sometimes it took her a while to email me back but it was usually b/c she was out of the office or something like that. She did everything I wanted and I only had to tell her things one time. She knew and understood. She was in charge and so I didn't have to hire a wedding coordinator. So, we saved money!

This place is so elegant looking. The Missouri Ballroom is gorgeous.

Overall, my husband and I were very pleased we selected this venue. The ballroom was gorgeous. and the price was very affordable. We did have a few guests out of our 150 (so a small portion) complain about service. When we reported this to the MAC, they were quick to rectify the complaints and pass along the feedback to the wait staff, as well as personally apologize to our guests and send them gift cards to accommodate them. Sometimes the responsiveness on estimates, change orders, etc. was a little slow, but when we expressed this, they were responsive. The good was excellent, and the planning staff was otherwise wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend this venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
