Recommend x1000!!!

I cannot recommend the Franklin of Soulard enough!!! They have the best team that made our day so special. The venue itself is recently renovated maintaining a classical charm and beautiful bridal suite. They have delicious in-house catering and bar. Most important the people (Christina especially) are absolutely wonderful to work with. They were so flexible with us as an out-of-town couple, from visiting, to the food tasting, finalizing the details, the rehearsal, to the day of. Truly the best team and cannot thank them enough! Definitely recommend the Franklin of Soulard!!!!

The absolute best!

The Franklin of Soulard as a venue – 5/5 stars!
The Franklin of Soulard team – 100/5 stars!

This beautiful venue comes with an even better team that will ensure your day runs smoothly and your reception is everything you could want. I've heard some horror stories from friends about other venues not staying in contact with them or only providing the space and nothing else – that's not at all what I've experienced at The Franklin. Christina and the whole team ensured we were just well taken care of. The food was amazing, and my favorite part of planning was that delicious tasting. The final details meeting set everything in place, and they answered every single question we had.

All in all, this team is so accommodating, and the venue was a beautiful backdrop to my Christmasy wedding. Thank you so much for helping make our day the absolute best!

Best wedding ever

The Franklin of Soulard gave us the best wedding we could have of ever dreamed of.

Dan and Christina (The Owners) were so helpful, accommodating, communicative and just an overall joy to work with. We couldn't have asked for better partners or a more beautiful venue on our wedding day.
