About This Vendor

Affordable elegance for your special day!

Bellecourt Banquet Center is an elegant wedding venue featuring two historic buildings that have been beautifully renovated and recently updated. The decor is traditional yet neutral enough to work with any color scheme. Both buildings are spacious and used for only one event at a time so social distancing can be achieved. Bellecourt Place consists of two beautiful dining rooms that seat 25-150. Both rooms offer an elegant ambiance for wedding ceremonies as well as receptions. Bellecourt Manor has seating for up to 300 guests. The dining room includes a stage as well as a large adjoining lobby and bar area. Our wedding packages are designed to include everything you need for your reception at affordable prices with no hidden charges. We work closely with all our customers to ensure that your special day is a success! Contact us today for your personalized tour with our chef/owner, Tim Faltus, who founded the business 26 years ago and still plays an active role in its management.

gh good things about it. The pies were baking while I was decorating and it smelled amazing, but tasted even better!! Tim also answered about 25 emails from me while I was planning, and he was always quick and helpful with his responses. He is probably one of the best vendors I have ever used for wedding/party stuff. I couldn't recommend this venue more!

ks before our wedding in Southern Illinois, we ultimately changed our venue to my in-laws. Tim and Bellecourt still catered for our event and our guests loved the food!! The serving staff that attended our event were kind and hospitable and made the evening all the more wonderful. They arranged our cake and cupcakes for us as well, packed up to-go meals for us and our parents, and overall helped this COVID Bride stress a whole heck of a lot less.

The venue is unique, beautiful, and reasonably priced - exactly what my now-husband and I were looking for. We were married in the restored Baptist Church and held our reception in the restored Masonic Temple across the parking lot. The food ...
is also wonderful and prepared in house by the owner, Tim. The only reason that I could not give 5 stars was because of the venue wedding coordinator. We provided our guests with a plated dinner and the choice of pork or chicken. We used stickers on the name tags to show who received which meal. I had emailed the sticker designation to the venue coordinator 2+ weeks in advance. About 10 minutes in to the guests being served, the venue coordinator asked me what the stickers meant. My guests were being served the completely wrong meal choice (as several of them told me) even though I had addressed this issue with the wedding coordinator. There were several other small things that were forgotten that I had previously addressed. Overall, the experience was wonderful. I'd definitely recommend this venue, but make sure to keep track of everything.

rs (flowers, cake, décor and dj), so we did not have to act as the middle man between parties too often. Not only did Tim make everything extremely simple, he truly understood the overall look we were going for and offered helpful advice for the reception. As for the food, it was delicious! We had appetizers at the cocktail hour and then a served meal. Many guests commented on how the food was way better than normal "wedding food." I could go on and on about Bellcourt! I would suggest it to everyone, and I am SO extremely happy that we had our reception there.

ue ample times. The serving staff the night of the wedding also did a fantastic job. No beer bottles, dishes, etc. were ever left on the tables. The staff even allowed my husband and I to be served dinner while others got up for buffet style dinner. This was extremely helpful as we had a lot of guests to mingle with and allowed us to eat quickly. I would highly recommend Bellecourt to anyone in the Belleville, Fairview Heights, O'Fallon, IL areas!!!

ng several phone calls and waiting for a response that never came, but overall it was a great experience and there is no where else in Belleville that would have been as beautiful of a choice. The food was amazing and they worked hard to help us set up, but they had to because they booked an event for the morning of my wedding which meant I couldn't be there to help set up. In fact, by the time they let us into the venue, we were in the middle of the ceremony, so I had to trust that they would set things up the way I wanted. They did a fine job, but there were things I would have done differently and I really wish I could have been there to oversee everything! In all they did a good job and I would recommend them to a friend.

We had our daughter’s wedding ceremony and reception here on New Year’s Day. The event went off without a hitch. The food was fabulous, the facilities were just perfect. We used one venue for the ceremony and the other for the reception, if ...
given the opportunity we highly recommend this as the old church makes for a nice traditional wedding site and the old Masonic Lodge makes for an exceptional and elegant reception. That said, each in their own right will work well for a wedding and reception, we lucked out in being able to use both since it was New Years Day and we were the only event that day. It was very convenient for our many out of town guests to come to one location for both the ceremony and reception. The facilities were beautifully decorated for the holidays, making it the perfect look for a winter wedding (it’s also very elegantly decorated the rest of the year). The value was exceptional, everything including the bar was included in the price and Tim did an exceptional job with the food. My biggest gripe at weddings is the cost for what is typically institutional quality food, that WAS NOT the case here, the food was delightful…our guests said the same. They gave us plenty of time to decorate the hall and church prior to the event and the staff made sure that everything went smoothly. You won’t go wrong selecting them as your caterer and if you’re looking for a venue Bellecourt can stand with the best St Louis has to offer and a much better price. I highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in the St Louis area!
