LaGalle Wedding

Our experience with this venue was amazing. No complaints. We were able to rent the venue for Friday and Saturday. This was perfect to be able to set up Friday day and use the space for our rehearsal dinner that night. Lana was great to work with and made sure to accommodate with anything needed. Being able to rent decor saved us a lot of money and hauling - definitely worth it. We got SO MANY compliments on how beautiful the venue was! I would recommend this venue to anybody, wedding or special event.

Beautiful Venue

If you’re looking for the perfect place to get married, stop looking… you found it.

From the first time we stepped into The Pearl we were blown away by how absolutely beautiful it was. The rustic glam vibe was exactly what we were going for. We got married at the outdoor arbor to the side of the barn. The dramatic staircase is so beautiful and made for a perfect grand entrance to our reception. The outdoor pavilion was a dream for our outdoor cocktail hour and place for people to gather outside for pictures and fresh air. So many options for ceremony locations - weather will never be an issue. Plus inside there’s an awesome bar set up, kitchen, and two rooms upstairs that are perfect for getting ready in the day of your ceremony.

As if the venue itself isn’t enough, the owners (John and Lana) are two of the most kind and genuine people you will ever meet. We met with Lana a couple weeks before the wedding and when we showed up Friday for rehearsal she had everything set up exactly the way we had discussed. She was so helpful in helping us plan for vendors, set up, and unexpected obstacles we hadn’t even considered. She was always easy to get ahold of and very responsive. She truly made the whole process stress free. She was someone who I looked forward to seeing throughout the planning process because she was so sweet and so helpful.

There aren’t enough words to thank John and Lana for allowing us to borrow their beautiful venue for the best day of our lives!

Absolutely THE BEST!

This was the only venue that my husband and I looked at in person, and after seeing it, we were sold. It became the venue to compare all other venues to. Lana and her husband are so accommodating and make everything so easy. The venue is beautiful, the people are wonderful, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Another amazing piece was that Lana has a list of vendors from around the area. This made finding a caterer, cake baker, DJ, videographer, etc. SO easy! Highly, highly recommend and cannot say enough about how amazing The Pearl and it's crew are.

Beautiful venue and helpful staff

Not only is this venue absolutely gorgeous and versatile, but having the support of the owners, Lana & John, on that special day is priceless!
As day-of wedding coordinator, I worked with them behind the scenes and can tell that these two truly care about each and every family they work with. They are kind, endlessly patient, and John seems to magically show up just when you need something or have a question.
We pulled off a very successful wedding for 300 guests last night and it was amazing! Soooo grateful the bride chose The Pearl—everything was perfect!

Hard to top perfect

If you’re like everyone else planning a wedding, you’re looking for perfection; perfect venue, perfect support, perfect vibe – all to create a perfect experience for the new couple and their guests. Look no further. The Pearl at Crawford Farm satisfies all of these requirements and so much more. Read the reviews below and you’ll see descriptions like magical, beautiful, amazing, spectacular, personal, with numerous references to Lana and the Crawford family team. Pulling off perfection without feeling the stress associated with perfect is the true gift you’ll experience if you choose The Pearl. It truly is a magical place supported by very special people.
Lana Crawford was a knowledgeable, organized, efficient, and compassionate partner. She guided us through every step of the planning process, providing suggestions, accommodating requests, and answering endless questions with patience. The Pearl’s recommended vendor list didn’t disappoint; you can trust everyone on that list to exceed expectations. Our son was our caterer and said working with Lana, Kersten, and John was like working with a wonderful extended family; they provided unprecedented support with a huge element of fun! Our guests continue to tell us that the wedding was “the best, most beautiful, most personal” they’ve ever attended.
Huge shout out to Kersten for being our “boots on the ground” guide for the weekend and a heartfelt thank you from our family to the Crawford family for ensuring that our daughter’s wedding was as memorably perfect as we all envisioned!

The Rest is Gravy

What makes the Pearl so unique, other than its hand crafted beauty, is the dedication that Lana and John show to their clients. Our wedding day faced a few fluke accidents and unforeseen hiccups that were not the fault of anyone, these things just happen sometimes! Through it all, Lana and John were encouraging, accommodating, and provided so much peace of mind. They will keep any bride grounded in what truly matters, the fact that at the end of the day you'll be married to someone you love. The rest is gravy! And of course, in the end our wedding was absolutely magical, everything came together just as it was meant to be. The Peal was the perfect backdrop to the best day of our lives!

Get married at The Pearl! You won’t regret it!

The Pearl at Crawford Farm was the first and only venue that we visited. We fell in love with it as soon as we saw it in person. It’s such a quiet and serene location. It’s beautiful on the inside and outside. It was perfect for us.

Our wedding was on Friday, September 18th during COVID. We had about 135 people in attendance and The Pearl was the perfect size! We were able to spread everyone out with the option for seating upstairs and downstairs. I had never wanted an outside wedding until I saw the outside of The Pearl and that’s exactly where we had the ceremony, but it was nice having that back up plan for an inside wedding if needed.

They supply all tables and chairs and have the option to rent table cloths, which we did and it worked out great. They have decorations you can rent, but quite frankly The Pearl decorates itself. We basically just used flowers throughout the venue and loved the look.

Lana was amazing to work with. The closer it got to our wedding day the more we worked with her. She walked through the day with us and brought up many things we hadn’t even thought about, but truly made our day run smoother.

We couldn’t say enough great things about it. Get married at The Pearl! You won’t regret it. ❤️

Adaptability & Heart in an Uncertain Time

Lana and her team at The Pearl were a dream to work with. I was able to book the venue over 14 months in advance (which I would advice since it is such a hot spot). Little did any of us know that the world would flip upside down with covid-19. My guests are from NYC, LA, Montana, Florida, London, Amsterdam & Paris. Their safety was our top priority. Although this particular area in Missouri does not prioritize covid safety precautions, Lana and her team did. Every safety measure for social distance, sanitization, and masks that we wanted to implement they were amenable with. The venue is stunning and has character along with adaptable moving parts. More than that, the team is one of a kind.

The Pearl - What a lovely place!!!

The Pearl was the 2nd venue that my husband and I went to see. No questions asked, we decided to book the venue after seeing it without going to the 3rd location. We loved the ambience, beauty and everything about the Pearl. It was a perfect place for us to get married during Covid time. Ms. Lana, the owner, was very nice and helpful to us. I like how she is very straight-forward, resourceful and transparent person. I would highly recommend this place.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
