Best Wedding Venue!

Abell DJ Company, DJ team has performed for many beautiful couples here and I have to say, it is one of my favorite venues in the St Louis area. I love the layout including the outdoor courtyard that's perfect for ceremonies or cocktails but, most of all the fantastic staff. They are easy to work with ensuring the couples day goes smoothly.
Looking forward to being back soon!

Hidden Gem in Great Location

Wow ! I would have never imagined how beautiful this venue is. If you just drive by you have no idea how fabulous the inside and rear courtyard are. The up-lighting and dance floor lights are really nice. They have a great bar inside and a second bar in the rear courtyard. The outside ceremony was just perfect and the indoor reception hall is awesome. I highly recommend this hidden gem for weddings

Unbelievably beautiful

We had the privilege of attending my niece’s wedding in St Louis and we must say that The McPherson is one of the most extraordinary wedding venues that we have ever seen. My niece had an outdoor ceremony in their huge courtyard that was just gorgeous. And the courtyard was great for the cocktail hour with a separate bar in addition to the main bar. Short lines !. The main reception hall has dramatic tall arched ceiling and really cool mood lighting. The dance floor lighting was also great. Altho I did not get to see it, my wife was able to visit our niece in the bride’s suite and she said it was the best she has ever seen. All in all a beautiful venue that you will always remember. As a plus for us we were able to book a very nice AirBnB that was right next door.
