Couples who book Third Degree Glass will have access to both the Glass Gallery and larger East Gallery for their ceremony and reception, as well as the adjoining outdoor courtyard and comfortable Vetro Lounge for wedding prep. The property can accommodate both an intimate wedding of up to 100 and a larger guest list of up to 300.

Services Offered
Couples will work with our Event Services Manager to plan and organize the important details, and a venue coordinator will be on-site for the duration of the event. Couples can choose to add unique extras like a glass unity ceremony, live glassblowing demonstration, and glass decor. A preferred list of caterers is supplied, and three bar packages are available to fit everyone’s needs. Our indoor and outdoor spaces can accommodate food trucks and other specialty vendors. Tables, black padded chairs, and set up and take down services are included. We are a wheelchair accessible venue with on-site parking.

Third Degree Glass Factory

If you’re looking for an affordable, but gorgeous venue in the St. Louis area, look no further! The space itself is beautiful with exposed brick, polished concrete floors and custom artwork and is extremely versatile. You can keep it simple or glam it up as much as you want. (We kept it simple and it was still a fairytale). We had a wonderful experience with Jessica and her staff! They helped walk us through the experience from start to finish, providing insight and expertise on design, floor plans, vendors, bar packages, etc. With their help, we were able to have the wedding day of our dreams without breaking the bank. Couldn’t have asked for a better day/experience. Overall would 10/10 recommend Third Degree for a top wedding venue in STL.

The Perfect Wedding Day

The second we walked into Third Degree Glass we instantly fell in love with the beauty and uniqueness of the space, and immediately knew we found the venue for our wedding day! But its not just the Venue that made our experience so wonderful, it the entire team at Third Degree, from the beginning they made us feel welcomed and helped us create the perfect wedding day. Brooke was so incredible and detailed when it came to translating what we wanted to actual reality and she was there for us every step of the way for any questions we had large or small. Our wedding day needless to say went off so spectacularly perfect that we received compliments all night from our guests and are still getting compliments a week later about how beautiful and unique our ceremony and reception was! From the amazing planning team and staff, the beautiful venue itself, the unique glass blowing demonstration during our cocktail hour, and the amazing bar team, we can 100% say we had a wedding day that our family and friends will talk about for a very long time and one that we will never forget!! We couldn’t of imagined a better start to our lives together and can’t thank the Third Degree Team enough!

Wedding Welcome Party

We had a blast at Third Degree! We hosted our 3 hour wedding welcome party here Friday night before the wedding. Jessica and her team were the most organized and responsive vendors we worked with in all of wedding planning. They use a communications portal that makes it easy to keep track of Comms and documents. The bar manager was also very easy to work with and gave us suggestions on our signature drinks.

We had the glass demo and commission, catering from Sugarfire and Clementines (the bike). We had the full bar package - including 2 signature drinks. We put out our own drink sign in addition to their wooden ones. (Only very tiny comment (coming from someone who is into DIY and paper goods) is they put out some paper drink menus that were a little scrappy and had I known, would have printed something nicer. ) We planned to use the outdoor area, but the night ended up being unseasonably hot, so our guests didn’t really go out there at all and we moved stuff inside. We rented the white glass centerpieces which looked nice.

We connected our own audio to their system which worked fine for background music.

Everything went off without a hitch. Everything was setup and executed to correctly. It was hard to make our guests leave!

I’d highly recommend hosting your event here and working with the team.

PS- Jessica mentioned she has her own full wedding planning service. While I cannot vouch for that, I would have tried to hire her for day of coordinating know what I know now!

Beautiful, Versatile Space; Epic Wedding

TDGF is a beautiful, airy space that is able to transform into nearly anything. It was the perfect setting for our cocktail hour and reception. Huge pluses were a glass-blowing demonstration, which guests loved, and expert bartenders! It was also very easy working with the staff leading up to the wedding.

Perfect venue for the couple looking for a no-hassle planning process and a beautiful atmosphere!

Third Degree was suggested to us by a friend who also considered it as her wedding venue. When I walked in, I could instantly tell we would get married here. The space is so beautiful that it requires little to no decoration to get the vibe and atmosphere of a beautiful wedding. The cherry on top of the cake for us was the ability to bring any outside caterer you wanted, whereas other venues required you use a specific vendor for food. The front office staff, bar staff, and everyone else were very supportive and helpful throughout the whole planning process. Third Degree will always hold a special place in our hearts and we whole heartedly recommend this venue for a perfect wedding!

Third Degree made sure our wedding day was perfect

We found Third Degree through Google when searching for our wedding venue. We went to a few other venues the day we checked out Third Degree but when we walked in, Katie (the bride!) knew right away that this was the venue for our wedding. Our first visit there with Olivia was great - she told us everything we needed to know and more, showed us around, and gave us a great vibe right away. We booked within the week (they were very quick to communicate which I appreciated).

The communication throughout was wonderful and we never felt like we were ever being strung along. We found a few of our vendors through their preferred vendors as well.

Day of literally could not have gone better. We had such a wonderful experience. We used the gallery room for our ceremony and it was so beautiful using all of the art as the backdrop for our wedding. Then the event space was done perfectly (so much room!). The bar was beautiful, the bartenders were great and fun, and the custom mixed drinks they allowed us to create ended up being delicious.

All in all, working with Third Degree was 10/10 and I will recommend them to anyone as a venue (we also have a few glass pieces bought from there now and they are gorgeous - go support local artists!)

Wedding at TDGF

We initially chose TDGF as our wedding venue because of all the beautiful colors and the cool art pieces. In the end, that wasn't even the best part! The event coordinator Alison was kind, enthusiastic, and organized as we planned the event. She was responsive to emails, gave us great suggestions, and was flexible when we asked for last minute seating assignment changes. She was truly essential in making our wedding such a success. We are grateful for all her hard work and would recommend this venue to others for important events!

Beautiful and Unique

This venue was perfect for both my ceremony and reception. I loved how beautiful, unique, and artistic this venue is. I barely had to spend money on decor because the venue is so beautiful on it's own. My guests RAVED about the glass blowing demonstration. I felt that the venue is a great size. There is a lot of space for everyone but it still feels intimate. The staff was amazing to work with and Rachel made the day so easy and the month leading up to the wedding was organized and stress-free. You will not regret booking this venue!

Wow! This place was amazing!

The more we worked with Third Degree, the more we came to appreciate it. The service there was amazing with prompt responses to our inquiries and planning. We had no issues with them as they laid out their guidelines from the getgo and we were able to plan around it accordingly. The East Gallery is very customizable despite the industrial presence, and the wedding that we had there was absolutely gorgeous!

Guests also appreciated the venue as they were entertained from sitting down at the ceremony till they decided to leave. I lost count of all of the compliments over the glass blowing demonstration during the flip.

Would totally recommend working with them and we are excited to see our sculpture from the Glass Ceremony!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
