Exceptional service and beautiful venue

We worked with Tasha and Tyler for our wedding in July of 2022, and from the initial inquiry to the food tasting to our wedding day, they were so organized, responsive, and professional. They were able to make great recommendations for us, set the room beautifully for our event, and provide exceptional service. Would highly recommend to another couple.

Stunning venue

I can't say enough about the beauty of the Coronado. I wanted a grand, historic venue, and I got it! The team at Coronado/Butler's Pantry really wants the best for each wedding and it shows. My guests had an amazing experience. Everything was as it was supposed to be except for one or two very minor nit-picky things that don't change it being a 5-star experience (like a covering for kitchen doors during the ceremony). I highly recommend the Coronado for any event, and I hope I get to go back soon!

Incredible!

The ladies at The Coronado are absolutely amazing!! Tasha is incredibly kind and patient and answered every single one of my questions so promptly. We worked together for about 13 months while I was planning my wedding and she was there with me through the entire thing. She even helped me choose outside vendors! All of her advice was so so helpful and she truly made my dreams come true with the perfect wedding. She was my go-to girl for any wedding emergency, last minute idea, and day-of task. I could not be more happy with the service she provided us. Stephanie helped us the last few weeks right up until the wedding day and she was just as amazing! She was so nice and helpful and always there with great advice!

Amazing!! I loved this place from the moment I saw it. I worked with Rob who has helped me every step of the way. He provided suggestions and ideas to enhance my wedding day. I am so happy I chose this venue for my reception. The food is the best wedding food Ive ever had.

FANTASTIC. My wedding was a fairytale come true! Everyone at the Coronado knows their stuff. Chantal made the planning portion so easy. By the end of it, she could seamlessly make decisions because she knew my vision and hope for the day. The food was INCREDIBLE. Seriously, best wedding cake I've ever tasted. The service of the wait staff was classy and relaxed. I would highly recommend the Coronado to any bride looking to have an elegant yet fun wedding. The atmosphere is just enchanting.

Wow, this was one of the best venues we could have chosen for our wedding. The Coronado delivered in every way possible and Beth Cain went above and beyond to see to all of our requests. The customer service, culinary delights, ambience and overall value were by far the best we had seen in the St. Louis area. Since we are based in Australia we really appreciated Beth's timely responses, professionalism, and assistance. WE had a very international guest list and all were amazed by The Coronado itself, Beth, the amazing food and exquisite service. Everyone felt like royalty that night. Thank you to the entire team at the Coronado and to Beth Cain!

The Coronado ballroom is a fabulous venue to have a wedding, social or coporate event. I got married Sunday November 11th 2012 and it was just perfect. Other than the breathtaking venue, the event staff, catering staff and everyone else employed by the Coronado was SO impressive. Guests talked about how great the service was for weeks!! It just makes this a great package deal, and definitely worth every penny.Beth Cain was my event planner and we clicked immediately! It felt like she was made to plan MY wedding and MY wedding only, realistically I knew that was not the case. She was there every step of the way. I called her at least once a week bothering her with questions and she never failed to take care of everything for me. We also had consultations in person to make sure the wedding planning process was on track (Meet her at the Nadoz cafe for coffee its amazing!) A couple days before my wedding, I dropped everything off and Beth said okay, I got this! The day off my wedding I was in a panic, it had been raining all morning, my hair and make up was done!! Beth met me at the front door with a huge umbrella, making sure not a drop of rain messed my hair or makeup up. She took me to my changing room, I didnt have to worry about ANYTHING the hours leading up to my wedding. I mean ANYTHING. Beth would come in the room every half hour, check on me, tell me I am going to love everything how everything was set up. The feelings you get of excitement, nervousness and everything else are just overwhelming so thank god Beth was there! When I saw my ceremony and reception room for the first time, there are no words that can describe it. It literally took my breath away. I am not sure how Beth does it, but she can sure put on a wedding!! It was like she read my mind on how I wanted every little detail.. down to rose petal placement. It was unreal to me. I would recommend her over and over again. To this day we still keep in touch. Good luck future brides!!! :)

The Coronado Ballroom.... I can’t even begin to describe how amazing my wedding day was!! Not only because the venue itself is magnificent, and not because the caterer was phenomenal but because Beth Cain the event coordinator was the most amazing person you will ever meet! She is the person that made my day run smoothly, without one hitch and worked her butt off to make sure that my husband and I were pleased with everything! She and the staff at Coronado are so outstanding. I know without a doubt I picked the best wedding venue and best wedding coordinator in Saint Louis, MO for my wedding!!
