Absolute dream
Knotting Hills was an absolute dream!! Not only are the facilities gorgeous, but the service was fantastic. Our coordinator Kaelee was excellent and was extremely helpful the day of and during the entire planning process. She took care of everything to make sure that we had the best day. After the ceremony was over, she had our signature cocktails and cocktail hour snacks waiting for us. The staff was also extremely helpful in helping my family set up and break down the reception area so that my husband and I could enjoy our night and not worry about a thing. We rented out the big house for ourselves and our bridal party the night of and it was super convenient and a great way to keep the party going. Highly highly recommend Knotting Hills and I could not imagine a more perfect place for our wedding! -

Ah-maz-ing
Knotting hills was absolutely a dream. We booked before it was done being built and seeing the venue and envisioning my wedding there was easy to do with how beautiful it is. Kaelee was my day of coordinator and she was a rockstar. I would highly recommend her for your wedding. Katy at KH is spectacular as well. She is quick to respond and so helpful. The day went so smoothly and I couldn’t have asked for a better staff to assist my big day! I will definitely be going back years to come to renew vows at the place where our life began. Thank you Knotting Hills and the staff for being a 5-star venue and for making my day one I will cherish forever. -

Kisena/Thomas Wedding
Absolutely amazing venue!! We knew when we booked, prior to it opening, it was going to be a gorgeous venue. Knotting Hills staff went above and beyond for all our needs. Kaelee, day of coordinator, was on top of everything. She made sure that our day was perfect. She went above and beyond and exceed our expectations. Our guests are still complimenting us on what a beautiful venue, wedding, and reception it was and how amazing the staff was. Do not think twice about booking this venue, just do it. I would highly recommend this venue for any event. Thanks Knotting Hills for making this day so perfect. -

Exquisite views-True pure bliss
I had my wedding here 11/19/2021! Katy & her team made sure my wedding was perfect! From the rehearsal ( which was included) & to the decor ( which again included- they have so much to choose from! ) to keeping me on track with dinner, speeches. It was the easy stress free beautiful slice of heaven I could ever ask for!! Everyone of my guests kept asking me how I found this place && how beautiful it was! Thank you for making my day unforgettable! High class! Outstanding attention to detail with the best directors ever!! This place will always have a special place in my heart! -

Forrest/Pfeiffer wedding
I had the wedding of my dreams last month and I can’t stop thinking about it. Kaelee was our wedding coordinator and she was absolutely amazing! She helped us out the entire day/ evening and made sure we were okay the whole day and night. I highly recommend this venue for your wedding. Thank you Knotting Hills!❤️ -

What an incredible venue!!
You'll be hard pressed to find a venue that is anywhere close to comparable with Knotting Hills within 40 minutes of downtown St. Louis!! It is absolutely gorgeous and I can't think of any ways they could even improve it! They provided all of the tables, chairs and decorations I needed which kept my floral budget well under $1K, and having the Ezra houses available for rent was so nice- many of us stayed on the property after the reception and partied into the night without worries of how to drive home or expensive Uber trips. I loved doing photos, the ceremony and the reception all in the same place so i didn't have to waste time on my wedding day crawling in and out of shuttles and limos. So worth it!! -

The most perfect venue!
This was a breathtaking venue for my Sons wedding. From start to finish there was not one single problem. My ENTIRE group of attendees raved about how beautiful it was. I would give it ten stars and a AAAAA rating. -

Spectacular venue & staff!
beautiful piece of land. As a wedding vendor, I get to see how things work like a fly on the wall. Katie and Michelle are very kind, attentive, and respectful to their clients and vendors. They’re just a pleasure to work with. The abundance of big windows in the venue give you a stunning views from every angle.
A 5 star venue you won’t regret! -

Incredible!!
Wow! What a place! Book it now/ don’t even think twice!
We have had such a wonderful experience with my daughter and son in laws wedding. Katy and Michelle are so kind and great to work with. The staff is phenomenal. The venue is BEAUTIFUL!
We booked it before it was finished and we were blown away with each additional added feature. Just a magical place!
We experienced it in full- using the main house was perfect and so nice to be on site, so much more relaxing than a hotel. It was great to have a home base with family and friends who also stayed there. With it being just steps away from the grooms quarters many hours were spent in the pool and arcade. So much fun!
The bridal suite it so beautiful and has great functionality for stylists and great backdrops for photographers. Absolutely perfect!
Having the golf cart to move about the property was a great plus!
I can say without a doubt that my daughter’s wedding was perfect and I can’t thank Knotting Hills enough for helping make it be everything that my daughter and son in law had every dreamt of❤️❤️-

Amazing! We were their first wedding and everything ran smoothly!
The venue was absolutely stunning! You get the entire grounds for the whole day, and it did not disappoint! The bridal suite and groom’s quarters are SO FUN and beautiful, and the staff were very accommodating and helpful! We were their very first wedding and have no regrets choosing Knotting Hills! -

Rainy Wedding Day
We had an amazing time at this beautiful venue. It rained all day on our wedding day, Knotting Hills had clear umbrellas for all of us and were very flexible to help make our day social. The only negative was some guests were going to the wrong venue because there are 2. We were at the main venue. Other than that, it was very nice. -

Terrible Communication and Poor Quality
Would NOT recommend this venue. Their communication is terrible and inconsistent if not nonexistent. The property is beautiful but that is all this place has going for it. The day of coordinator was rude to me, the wedding party, the vendors and our friends and family that showed up the day of to help decorate for our reception. They failed to properly “mark” our file so they did not realize we planned to use their catering. We had to sign up for a last minute food tasting which ended up being terrible. We then had to, at the last minute, find an outside caterer the month before our wedding. They refuse to reach out earlier than 3 months before your wedding day and then relay all the obscure rules about decorations, timeline requirements, and day of demands. I used Black Friday to purchase decorations for our reception and couldn’t use a single item because of the rules they did not share with us when we paid our deposit. Any attempt to reach out to the venue was met with silence, annoyance, or blame, once they received their money they did not care about making this an easy or joyful experience for myself or my husband. We tried emailing multiple times about a payment plan, and when they finally realized three months away from our wedding they messed up our contract, they emailed a $10,000 invoice for catering that they marked as past due by a month. This was two months before our wedding day. They nickel and dime every chance they have, $200 to open the bridal suite at 8am instead of 9am if you need more time for everyone to get ready, $2500 extra to decorate the night before… even if no event is going on the night before, and $500 a night for their “honeymoon suite” which is a tiny home on the property with no amenities. They advertise as a luxury resort which suggests a level of inclusiveness they do NOT have. The bridal suite smelled like sewage the morning of, likely from the water coming out of the sink in the bathroom, and the grooms quarters had half of the advertised games/machines that were actually working. Our coordinator started cleaning up with staff hours before we had to have everything removed from the building, and stressed the 10:30pm deadline so much that I was throwing away items because we had no space for them in vehicles since they didnt pack the items they removed from tables but instead shoved everything in the back of the venue. She then told me “wow Ive never seen a group get everything out of here so quickly” RIGHT AT 10:30… like we had a choice in that. They have only one bar tending vendor they work with, Champagne Wishes, who only accepts payments via venmo to the owner’s son. And when you pay that deposit the owner goes out of her way to tell you not to mark the payment as a good or service or that added fee will be on your final invoice. Since my March 2025 wedding I have seen MULTIPLE brides sharing similar experiences on TikTok and local Facebook groups. If you can afford their prices, look at nicer places elsewhere, you get nothing but a backdrop and a LOT of added stress with this venue. -

A dream in photos, a mess behind the scenes
While the venue was visually stunning and made for gorgeous photos, the management was a nightmare. Communication was poor, staff were unresponsive and unnecessarily difficult, and we weren’t allowed to lock the doors of the houses we rented—leaving our belongings vulnerable. Several items haven’t been found, including $500 prescription glasses, my bridal perfume and an invaluable ornament received as a gift. Shortly after checking out, I remembered I left our ornament hanging in the honeymoon suite. My parents turned around, returned, and found the suite had already been cleaned and were told nothing was found by the cleaning crew and management.
After posting a review on The Knot, I got an immediate email offering an empty promise to look around for specific items that morning. I was informed that they make a list of all items left behind, but they didn’t provide me with this list or a single thing found (60+ people stayed at 6 on-site houses we rented). Unsurprisingly, I haven’t heard back despite multiple follow-up emails. They made many parts of the process harder than necessary—rushing us out of the bridal suite before the ceremony, refusing to remove extra tables, delaying chair setup for private vows, shutting a reception garage door for no reason, and more. Not a single staff member checked on us, the bride and groom, that day.
Thankfully, our bar and catering vendors (Champagne Wishes and Hendri’s) were incredibly kind and attentive. I wish I could say the same for Knotting Hills. This is truly a beautiful venue with such amazing amenities which is why I didn’t think
the management and communication issues that started promptly after paying our deposit would have that much of an impact on our day, but it did. I cannot recommend this venue to couples who value respect, communication, security, and more than the ‘bare-minimum attitude.’ The venue itself is a dream—elegant, romantic, and visually unforgettable—which makes it all the more disappointing that the staff consistently fail to show care, respect, or any willingness to grow from feedback. -
