Chandler Hill Vineyards

elegance meets rustic winery. We got married December 5, 2020 (covid bride) and they did everything possible to help us have a safe and amazing wedding day still. The venue itself is GORGEOUS. The vineyards are perfect to take photos in, the oversized deck is another beautiful spot for photos too. We decided to get married inside in front of the fireplace and it was stunning. It was the most romantic setting for a winter wedding. Chandler Hill’s wedding planner, Megan, helped us SO much from start to finish. She was amazing and answered all of my questions and helped with every detail to make our day perfect. All of the food and drinks were fantastic too! I can’t say enough good things about Chandler Hill Vineyards, Megan and the rest of the staff.

plan a wedding and then reschedule it due to COVID. Several of our guests commented on the food, saying it was some of the best wedding food they had had! There are bride a groom suites upstairs for some privacy throughout the day, and where the wedding party can put their belongings. Before the wedding, they had a tasting even where we got to see how the venue would be set up for a wedding and had a florist there who had made centerpieces so you could see some examples and get inspiration. The wedding coordinator, Megan, walked us through the whole day and made sure the ceremony went off without a hitch. Had it been raining, we would have done the ceremony inside by the fireplace and I know this would have been beautiful too. We felt like we had plenty of time for a first look and photos before, so we could fully enjoy the reception. We also did the Champaign wall - which was a huge hit.

egan helped coordinate and take care of setup. COVID was a very stressful time to have a wedding, but the venue itself is so spacious and allowed plenty of room to social distance. I had the most perfect wedding and am so glad we booked Chandler Hill for the ceremony and reception.

let us use her old decorations (yes, she got married here so she definitely knows the way to do things), so I barely had to do anything!

owners/staff/etc made it happen! Everything was absolutely perfect and they made it feel like a normal wedding. The staff wore masks and everyone was comfortable. Food was exceptionally amazing! It is such a beautiful venue and the best part is you have Megan as your coordinator who is priceless! Highly recommend

g coordinator, was right alongside us with grace and understanding, honestly NOTHING was too much or too big for her to handle. She kept us level headed, responding to every question, text, email, and always supporting and loving us. I feel like I have a lifelong friend and someone who will always be in my corner in Megan. The day ran so smoothly and the entire staff at Chandler Hill blew us away throughout our entire year of planning! I cannot recommend them enough, even if you are getting married during these crazy times :)

he ceremony. As the bride I was able to just enjoy the day and not worry about anything! Beautiful venue and delicious food and drink. DOG FRIENDLY!! We had our two pups there and they were able to roam and follow us around for pictures. The rooms upstairs for the wedding party to get ready were also great for pre-wedding pictures and spacious. We had to move our date back due to COVID but that went smoothly and the only restrictions we had were placing tables 6 ft apart and the staff wore masks. But honestly it felt like a normal wedding. The 100 guests that came were obviously comfortable gathering and no one had to wear masks or maintain social distancing during the event. Megan offered to establish smaller tables for guests who did not want to sit with people from outside their household, but that wasn’t an issues for our guests. It was a great time and everyone is still happy and healthy. Highly recommend for an indoor or outdoor wedding!

eds, quick to respond, and were there every step of the way. I didn’t have anything to worry about the day of because Megan handled everything from setting up the decor, making sure the guests were taken care of, and making sure I had everything I needed for a stress-free day. I 12 out of 10 recommend this beautiful winery for any event!

have been more pleased! Megan was a delight to work with!

d met with Megan we knew we had found our place. Our family and friends are still talking about how this was the best wedding they have ever been to. Megan and her team did a fantastic job coordinating everything. I was totally at ease the day of the wedding knowing they had everything covered. Even with the last minute weather changes (it rained all day and we were planning an outdoor ceremony), the team was able to handle it. They turn the inside into a romantic ceremony with tons of candlelight and then flip the location in a matter of 10 mins into my dream reception look. I would highly recommend choosing Chandler Hill for your wedding!

ineyards was a beautiful backdrop. Our guests loved the food, I want to eat that sweet potato souffle everyday(don't pass it up when you go to the food tasting). When the fireworks went off at the end off our first dance everyone went nuts. It was timed perfectly - again thanks to Megan's attention to detail. We danced the night away on the deck and I didn't want it to end. My husband and I enjoy going back to CHV to reminisce over our wedding. Each visit we remember something new that happened on our wedding day. Thank you Chandler Hill and Megan for making our day so special. We love you guys!

nk of is far beyond exceptional. The venue itself makes you feel as though you are in wine country in california and not in missouri which makes it feel in and of itself, a destination wedding. The room allows for a very generous size wedding! we wanted to do something different for our wedding rather than circular tables and megan suggested feast tables, as it is a new trend and something unlike a normal wedding. i am so happy she suggetsed it and it looked beautiful. Megan was great at suggesting preferred vendors as well. megan and her team were great in accomidating and guests who had dietary restrictions, or unique requests as well. The day of the wedding was seamless and relaxed thanks to her team and the event was timed perfectly. i am very schedule oriented and megan is as well and it kept the evening going according to plan. i highly recommend adding the firework package to your wedding as our guests were very surprised and really capped the night off perfectly. the food Was phenominal and the staff was GREAT!! it was a dream wedding and a dream venue and i cannot thank megan, the chef and the team at chandler hill anymore!

solutely believe she is the best in the industry. Megan truly made us feel like we were the only couple getting married there that year. She met with us multiple times, answered every single question we had quickly, and put my mind at ease for any small detail that I had wanted for our big day. The food at Chandler Hill was so delicious, we had a ton of guests comment on how great it was. The open bar was FANTASTIC, we loved our signature drinks. The set up was absolutely flawless, and the fireworks were so memorable and special to us. The sunset here was so stunning, and the vineyard grounds gave us so many options for pictures. My husband and I cannot stop saying how we wish we were guests at our own wedding just to experience it again because it was that special. I would pick Chandler Hill 1000 times over. I am seriously so impressed with Megan, the staff, and this venue. They made my dream wedding even better than I could have ever imagined.

ndors well, then please check out Chandler Hill. The venue is what helped get our foot in the door but the fantastic staff (who always remember us when we visit), the decadent food, and great drinks helped seal the deal for us. Some really amazing people work there but I need to give a special shout out to Megan, the events coordinator at Chandler Hill. She bent over backwards to make sure our day was amazing and fun and memorable for me, my husband, and our entire family. Megan made the entire planning experience so much less stressful. Knowing that Megan helped think through all the details and was there to help make sure things went smoothly the day of was so relaxing for Mike and I. She and the staff helped take care of everything which helped us live more in the moment on your wedding day. I couldn't recommend Chandler Hill enough!

e most beautiful ceremony and reception! They are professional and organized, and will make your wedding day the best ever. Not to mention the gorgeous backdrop overlooking the vineyards!

rdinator Megan! She was BEYOND incredible and we can’t thank her enough! We wish we could relive our beautiful wedding over and over again!

e. The food was incredible and the chef was able to customize things for us. The service staff on the wedding day were great, they flipped the room so quickly and efficiently and made sure everything ran smoothly. And we got lucky and were able to do an outdoor ceremony in December and had fireworks! It was magical! Megan is the most wonderful coordinator on the planet! She helped make sure every detail was perfect from our first meeting to the day of the wedding, she answered every silly question I had and tried to accommodate every request we made. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and I am so glad we chose Chandler Hills as our venue!

perfect. I do have two small things I would like to point out. First, the flowers for my cake were not delivered, and although I provided a contact list for my vendors, no one knew how to correct the problem. In fact, I was the one to call the florist myself to correct it. The flowers were delivered in time before the reception started. Point 2. I don't know how this happened other than bad communication on my part, but when my wedding party was brought down for pictures, someone told my flower girls and ring bearer to stay behind so I got ZERO pictures with them. Extremely disappointing considering they are all family. Other than those 2 mishaps everything was astonishing. Chandler Hill has become #1 on my list of wineries! What a beautiful place, and highly recommended.

my questions, changing the seating chart numerous times, and even deciding an hour before my wedding to have it outside still, she was great. Honestly, the day of my wedding was very hectic. I felt like I was "just another wedding". It was very disheartening and upsetting but I tried to not let it get to me until the day after. I felt like they wanted us in and out. They told us the bridesmaid would be getting a bottle of champagne and never did, they kept accusing my groomsmen of being way to drunk and took away the Jack Daniels bottle from them(that they brought), and someone told the bartenders that the groomsmen were cut off by the bride and I NEVER said that or told anyone to do that. My groomsmen were actually behaving very well in my opinion and they can sometimes get out of hand. It's just frustrating that all they talk about is how they felt babied the day of my wedding and couldn't actually have fun. Chandler Hill is a beautiful place don't get me wrong but I was disappointed the way I was treated the day of my wedding.

eck with heaters and fire pits for the cool fall night, to the awesome fireworks display during the first dance — there wasn’t a detail left undone. To top it off, the staff at Chandler Hill is AMAZING!!! They are like family. Everyone hustled their tails off to turn the place over from winery to reception venue in very little time. Event coordinator Megan was on top of every little detail and ensured that everything went without a hitch. Bartenders and the rest of the staff took exceptional care of our 240 guests, always delivering service with a friendly smile. Terrific all-around event, and we couldn’t have been happier! Highly recommend!!! —Scott & Paula Held

all is just as beautiful and matched our style to a T. Now on to the wedding coordinator... we initially worked with Alyssa for almost the entirety of the planning period up until she accepted a position elsewhere and her last day sadly was 2 weeks before our wedding. After that we began to work with Megan and I met with her twice prior to our wedding day, one of the times was to go over last minute details and the other time was our rehearsal dinner. Initially I liked her but then came the wedding day. One of the most important things of a wedding day after the couple and the gown is the wedding cake and Megan completely failed in bringing our cake out and we basically were forced to cut one of the dessert table cakes because she thought that was our wedding cake since she failed to check the last freezer and had she checked it she would have seen our wedding cake there (My father in law slept 2 hours the morning of our wedding and made it out to McArthur’s Bakery to pick up our wedding cake and bring it to Chandler Hill the morning of our wedding). After we cut into basically a birthday cake she proceeded to argue with my mother in law and tell her how hard she worked all day when really it was me and my MOH that worked hard for a year and all she was responsible for was following the pictures we sent her and setting up the venue per the pictures. The next thing she did was accuse guests of being wedding crashers and question wether the people sitting at the reserved reception seats for family were actually family. Now the final thing that put me over the edge is that after the bridal party was introduced and heading to the head table we all had to stand for the speeches as there were not the right amount of chairs for the bridal party even though she knew how many people were in the party beforehand and then she had the nerve to come up to me and my husband during dinner and tell us how hungover she was. My husband e-mailed Chandler Hill 2 or 3 days after the wedding and now it’s been a week and we have yet to hear from anyone. Honestly it is a beautiful venue and the food is amazing and we had a great time but please steer clear of Megan if you do choose this venue for your ceremony and reception.

utely perfect. The inside is equally beautiful and the food made in house is FANTASTIC! The night could not have been more amazing!

andler Hill herself last year so she knows her stuff. I was very particular about how I wanted all of my decor set up and she nailed it on the head. She even took some of the extra decor I had, that I didn't really know what to do with, and incorporated it into the wedding perfectly. She made sure my wedding went off without a hitch and I really don't know what I would have done without her. The food was amazing. The servers and bartenders were outstanding. I have been to many weddings where you had to stand in a line at the bar for 15-20 minutes to get a drink. My group was never standing at the bar for more than 2 or 3 minutes it seems. The venue itself is gorgeous. It does not take too much decor to dress this place up because it is naturally beautiful. This was the first venue my husband and I toured and it blew every subsequent venue tour we took out of the water. There are plenty of places on the property to get great wedding photos as well. Oh, and the firework package is definitely worth every penny :)

bout Chandler Hill is that the food is made in-house (delicious), where you can select different food choices based on packages. CH offers a food tasting for the bride and groom. The chef was able to help us select wines based on the food we chose. The cocktail hour food was excellent. We did caprese skewers and toasted ravioli. We got married on a hot day in May, and were very thankful for the shuttle that Chandler Hill provides during wedding party pictures. Our videographer was able to coordinate with Megan to play a video for our guests to view after dinner. We were so pleased with the venue, food/drinks, and service. I would not have changed a single thing. There is also a gorgeous room for the ladies to get ready-in that overlooks the vineyard. Be sure to get a picture of the bride in front of the window in this room. Gorgeous for pictures. There is also a room for the gents to get ready in with a T.V. Thank you, Chandler Hill for making our special day the best day.
