The most beautiful, unique, southern charm venue around the St. Louis area!

We had our wedding on May 17, 2024. This is one of the most beautiful unique venues around the St Louis area! The new owners are so helpful and friendly and very easy to work with. I receive so many compliments from so many people regarding the beauty of this venue. Many people who attend the wedding kept telling me they did not even know something like this existed in the St. Louis area. To my knowledge, there is not another venue like this around the St. Louis area! Everything was perfect, including the food, the bar service (Champaign Wishes), The marble gazebo, the beautiful mansion, the outside beauty southern charm of the whole property and Especially the new owners. The owners were there for us before the wedding, helping us plan everything, as well as during the wedding and after the wedding? We even had the person in charge of keeping the outside beautiful, tie down our seating chart that was outside, just to make sure it would not break. Oh, and to top it off, my daughter was able to arrive to the ceremony in a white horse and carriage! Thank you to the Larimore for making my daughter’s dream wedding come true!

Amazing venue!!

My wedding at the Larimore was amazing. The venue was beautiful and everything was exactly as I pictured! The staff were all so nice and helpful. They made sure everything was perfect. Even though we had a few problems with our caterer, the staff did everything they could to help us get everything ready! I would highly recommend using The Larimore for your future wedding!

Larimore provided everything needed and more for our wedding ceremony/reception. This could not have gone more smoothly without the help and careful preparation of Dena. Months after, our guests are still letting us know how great it was. We can't recommend this venue enough!

I got married at Larimore on November 5, 2017. Larimore is everything I wanted in a venue. The outside is beautiful. The inside is beautiful. It was all ours for the day, and the prices were reasonable. Dena, the on-site coordinator, was with me every step of the way and ensured that the day went flawlessly. Even though the rain poured right before my ceremony, the staff was flexible and dried all the chairs so that I could have the outdoor ceremony that I wanted. We used Stems florist and Rockstar DJs, two of Larimore’s preferred vendors, and were extremely happy with their work--they are so comfortable with the space after doing hundreds of weddings there, as well as being great at their craft. I’m so glad that Larimore exists in St. Louis and so glad that I was able to get married there!

I just got married September 9th at this beautiful venue. I fell in love with the feel of this place the day I first stepped foot on the property. The beauty, the history, the wonderful owners, everything was perfect. I loved how much help Dena was as well as her husband on my special day to make sure everything was perfect. The food from their catering company was even perfection. I was told by multiple people it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to, and I have Larimore to thank for that. I hope I get to come back for a wedding in the future so I can relive our extra special night.

We got married at Larimore House Plantation in April and couldn't have been happier with our experience! We chose Larimore because we really wanted to have an outdoor wedding and they have a cute indoor chapel as a backup. The day before our wedding there was a 100% chance of rain and somehow that changed overnight and we were able to have the most beautiful garden wedding. The horse and carriage was a highlight for me as I was able to enjoy some special time with my Dad right before we walked down the aisle, and with my new husband right after. I was a little worried we wouldn't have enough photo opportunities with the ceremony and reception back to back, but we actually have way too many to choose from. It was also really convenient for our guests to not have to travel in between. Dena was prompt whenever I had questions and she was so helpful throughout the process and especially on our big day. I didn't have to worry about anything on the day of and I really was able to be in the moment and enjoy it all. Thanks so much for exceeding our expectations and for giving us our fairytale wedding!

Larimore House is a beautiful venue. The ceremony , pictures and reception are all performed onsite. We had a beautiful outdoor wedding. More importantly there is a fantastic chapel onsite if it rains. That takes the weather worries out of the picture. The food was excellent. We had several guests walk up to us and comment on how much they enjoyed the applewood pork & chicken marsala. The cake was delicious and beautiful. The mansion is awesome for photos and the dining facility was elegant. It even has an elevated dance floor. Dena, and her staff gave my daughter the best day of her life.
