Chaumette Vineyards & Winery

d took care of everything the day of the wedding. Throughout the process, I know Collins was working on other weddings, but when she worked with me, I always felt like my wedding was top priority and she really listened to what I wanted. We had to move the ceremony inside hours before the wedding due to rain, but the staff set everything up without any problems. Chaumette was affordable and I liked having my ceremony and reception in one place. The food is amazing! We had a BBQ theme for the rehearsal dinner and a southern theme for the reception. Everyone commented on how great the food and service were.

questions immediately. I would recommend this venue.

ied at the Barn on the lawn and reception in the barn. The food, decor, service, housing, pool area for hanging out was simply the best. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue!

hat we had dreamed and it went off with out a hitch! Beth is an angel and made our wedding effortless and we will forever be greatful for everything she did. Thank you for making our dreams come true!!

ing to go above and beyond to give you your dream wedding?! Look no further than Chaumette. From the moment my mom and I stepped on the property we knew there was something special about Chaumette. The setting is absolutely breathtaking and the location in Ste Genevieve allowed me the opportunity to have the winery wedding of my dreams at a price much more affordable than I was seeing closer to the city...especially for a winery. I can't say enough good things about Beth Caldwell, Director of Events, who I was lucky enough to get as my own personal Chaumette wedding coordinator. From day one, Beth exceeded my expectations in every way! I remember a friend of mine was also getting married at the time and was having issues dealing with her venue and the various vendors she needed to hire. I remember thinking how lucky I was to have Chaumette as pretty much a full-service venue, not to mention, Beth and her staff who did all the heavy lifting and guided me along the way. This made the entire experience very enjoyable for me and the wedding planning didn't feel like a chore. Chaumette also has gorgeous on-property villas that accommodate 2 up to 10+ people. Our closest friends and family stayed in the villas and it was such a treat to be so close to family and friends over the few days we were all there. (Shout out to Kathryn and Lindy for making my villa dreams come true! ) I must also mention that the food is exceptional at Chaumette. You will of course enjoy the delicious food and wine when you visit for a little planning and you will offer your guests cuisine unlike they have ever had at a wedding! Really. Good. If you are looking for a beautiful, relaxing unique and special place for your wedding, it's Chaumette! We thank you all again for making our wedding so memorable. We will be back for sure for anniversaries or just "because". XO, Lauren + Brian

ut down a deposit almost immediately and set our date for October 18, 2019. In the Spring of 2018, my now husband encountered some very serious health problems and was out of work, slashing our income in half. This put our beautiful winery wedding very far out of reach budget-wise, and we were devastated. It took me a couple days of reconciling how I/we felt before I decided to officially pull the plug with Chaumette. There were tears in my eyes as I emailed Beth, our amazing coordinator, and told her we could no longer hold our wedding there. I told her the winery was so special to us, and we were truly regretful for having to back out, but promised to give the winery our patronage for years to come. Beth emailed me back, expressed her condolences for my husband’s illness, and offered to transfer our deposit for the barn to pay the full cost of the chapel so we could still have the winery wedding of our dreams. Keep in mind people, this was a non-refundable deposit, I did not ask for it back nor would I. These circumstances were just as much out of my control as they were for Chaumette. They owed us nothing, and yet they moved mountains for us. She checked and sure enough, October 18, 2018 (our five year dating anniversary) was available and off we went. While planning the wedding, Beth was incredible prompt and helpful with every question or need we had. She did a fantastic job of organizing our silly peanut gallery family during the wedding rehearsal, and was there for every step on the big day—she even brought a coworker, Taylor with her on short notice so I could have the dramatic entrance I wanted. I cannot emphasize it enough—Beth was made for this. Even after the wedding, when some clothes got accidentally left behind, she was so nice and shipped the clothes back to me and charged it to the card we had on file and I didn’t even have to lift a finger. Incredible. We stayed in the villas the night before and it was perfect. It’s quiet and so peaceful. The vineyards were perfect for taking pictures in, the views are breath-taking, the food is WONDERFUL (we’ve eaten here multiple times in the past), and every single person who worked there (Tim, our favorite server in the restaurant, Rhonda in sales, Lindy the villa concierge, and of course Beth and Taylor) made us feel so special, wanted, and cared for in a way I have never experienced. I love this place from top to bottom and I could not recommend it enough. If you are looking for a truly special wedding experience, look no further than Chaumette. We will be loyal customers for the rest of our lives.

he was a huge help in the months leading up to the wedding. She gave us tons of recommendations, helped us get organized, and coordinated all of our different vendors. She was there from start to finish at our rehearsal dinner making sure that we felt confident about everything before the big day. The day of the wedding she completely ran the show in the best possible way. She set up all of our decorations exactly how we wanted them. We had 18 people in our wedding party and she made sure that everyone was always where they needed to be. One of my favorite memories of Beth was during family portraits. It was late in the day, and I was extremely hangry, and she fed me bites of a granola bar in between pictures. This is just one example of how she goes above and beyond to ensure that you have the most amazing day possible. All of the staff at Chaumette are fantastic and so helpful! Food: To be honest, we picked Chaumette as a venue based on how beautiful it is, and we didn’t really think about the food BUT the food was incredible! We got married almost 5 months ago and we still get compliments on it. People went nuts over the mashed potatoes! We had at least 4 guests include something about how good the food was in their posts on social media after the wedding. Venue: The pictures make Chaumette look so beautiful, but I highly recommend taking a trip there to experience what it is like in person. It doesn’t even feel like you’re in the Missouri when you’re there. We had many friends call it the “Napa of the Midwest.” On the property you can see rolling hills for miles. We got married outside the barn and have the most beautiful pictures looking out over the vineyard. Accommodations: One of the best things about having our wedding at Chaumette was having all of our close friends and family stay on the property with us. Chaumette has beautiful villas and a pool right on the property. Having everyone stay together allowed us to stretch out the celebration over the entire weekend. If you are looking for a stress-free wedding in a beautiful location – look no further!

everything so easy! I couldn’t have chosen a better place to have my wedding. Beth and everyone at Chaumette is amazing! I would highly recommend Chaumette for a getaway in the country, your big wedding day, or just a nice day in the country with some great food and wine!

hout out Collins specifically. In one word, Collins is a rockstar. Never mind the awesome communication leading up to the day, Collins killed it on the day of. Any little request I asked her about, she took care of no questions asked and I did not have to worry about a thing. She jumped right in and made sure every last detail was set up perfectly. The venue is stunning and the food was amazing. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and Chaumette was a huge part of making our dream reality.

s so important to us to find a team that we trusted who understood our vision and would help execute the day with professionalism and precision to minimize stresses. Jackie Collins was on top of everything, feeling just like a friend along the way for the whole day ensuring every single aspect was truly perfect. Our guests RAVED about the food we served...which is not a given at a wedding, and the details from the chandelier lighting to the fire-pit all contributed to the ideal setting. We can't wait to go back to celebrate our anniversary June 2019!

ecorations available to use at no charge which was awesome! The landscape / setting is breathtaking so you honestly don't need much to enhance the venue (but can put your special touches however/wherever you like). Collins was my coordinator and an absolute gem to work with throughout the whole process. She spoke with all of my vendors ahead of time, made sure everything ran like clockwork and helped make the day that much more special. The food is spectacular, too! If you're looking for an outdoors wedding venue (but protected from the rain) and are seeking a more rustic, romantic vibe, won't regret having your wedding here!! Thank you Chaumette!

remony and Beth remained calm which allowed me to enjoy every moment of my ceremony. It turns out that the rain was one of my favorite parts. I would highly recommend Beth and Chaumette for your wedding coordinator and venue. This was the best day ever and we owe it to the great people at Chaumette.

erything was completed. They picked everything up and put it in an easily accessible place all boxed up to be picked up the following day of the wedding. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Chaumette as a wedding venue!

e to stress about on the big day. My guests were impressed with the view from the barn and the fact that the chef accommodated dietary styles for individual guests. I felt they went above and beyond to provide a good experience. I even forgot my dress in the villa closet and when I realized it in a panic I was able to call and get it back that day even though Beth was in the middle of getting someone else's wedding ready to go. I cannot speak highly enough about Chaumette!

as our coordinator and we cannot say enough great things about her. She kept us on schedule and handled any hiccups before we were even aware of them. Thank you for making our day perfect!

n the lawn in front of the barn, and our reception took place inside the barn. The building is beautiful and includes chandelier and stranded lighting so we didn't have to worry about coming up with (or spending money on) very many decorations. The venue also has decorations that can be borrowed (at little or no cost). The barn also includes easily accessible bathrooms nearby and adjacent bride/groom suites for dressing and storing personals during the event. Our wedding day ended up being beautiful and sunny which was wonderful but hot. The arrangement of chairs and setup for the ceremony allowed for guests to stand or sit on the covered porch and maintain a great view of the ceremony if they were too hot in the sun. The venue also accommodates pets so our dog was able to join us for the wedding. The food was delicious and the family-style meal option was a perfect fit for our budget (cost less than plated and not a lot more than buffet), and our guests (many of which had small children and a few used walkers to get around which can make buffet lines somewhat difficult to navigate). No one had to leave the table to enjoy their meal. Chef also ensured that all guests with special diet needs were accommodated (and they all told us their meals were amazing). The events team are incredibly organized and supported us with the details while still respecting our wishes and requests. The events coordinator, Beth, is a rockstar! She communicated well with all of our vendors (and us!) so we did not have to try to organize and wrangle everything on the day-of. She helped keep the in-laws in line and was calm and pleasant the whole time. We were impressed with her ability and willingness to flex and adapt during the big day as things changed from the original plans. Everything ran smoothly and efficiently to the point we ended up having unanticipated down time where we could chill out before the ceremony. The accounting staff were also commendable, providing updates via e-mail for every step through the process from booking to final payment post-wedding. We (bride, groom, and immediate family from out of town) stayed in the villas on site. Chaumette blocks off a set of villas early then flexes as much as they are able to accommodate guests as plans change. The booking process was run efficiently and all family members were able to book and pay without any hassle or problems. The accommodations are beautiful and comfortable. Since the villas are nearby, family members that were unable to stay outside in the heat for extended periods of time had a convenient place to rest in air conditioning when needed. If you are interested in a winery wedding or other event, We highly recommend checking out Chaumette! While they are a little bit of a drive from St. Louis city, it was worth it! Our guests agreed as well and we received many compliments on the venue and service. Thanks so much Chaumette for making our wedding day so special and stress-free!

tiful setting.

hing to worry about and I was able to enjoy the day without any stress. The venue itself was beautiful! We got married on the hill outside of the barn and it was everything I dreamt it would be. The barn gave off a fairytale feel that made me feel like a princess. We got wonderful picture opportunities all around the winery. The food was a delicious and all of our guests said it was the prettiest wedding they had ever been to. I highly recommend this as a wedding venue! They helped make our day perfect in every way.

ey managed to create our dream wedding! This took so much stress off of us and made the whole day relaxing and very chill! The wedding went by so smoothly!! I have had several people tell me they wish they could get remarried and do their wedding at chaumette! Our guest we're obsessed with the meal chaumette provided! And luckily for me and one of my bridesmaids they provide vegan and vegetarian friendly meals... which were AMAZING! Seriously they went above and beyond for us and I would choose chaumette a million times over! We even want to go back for date nights! It's absolutely beautiful there and the food is amazing!! Thank you chaumette for a literally perfect day!

! Collins was our wedding coordinator and she was phenomenal- she kept us organized and helped with absolutely everything we asked, not to mention she was a rockstar the day of the wedding taking so much stress off of my shoulders. Our reverend was stuck in traffic and was going to be an hour late for the ceremony. Something that could have completely derailed our day was smoothed over flawlessly by Collins- she coordinated with our vendors, even calling our shuttle company to push everything back. We couldn't thank her and the rest of Chaumette's staff enough for that. Not only is it the most gorgeous venue in Missouri, but the people working their truly want to give their couples the best day ever! Thank you Chaumette!

e venue is spectacular, the food and wine was a HUGE crowd pleaser (we had people calling/texting us for weeks saying how good our reception food was), and the Villa's are beyond charming, clean and cozy. We began working with Beth, coordinator at Chaumette, right away. The first time we met she listened to our ideas and wishes and helped us create our day based on that. She helped scheduled a wine tasting, food tasting and always kept me on track when at some points I had no idea what to do. Beth and her coworkers kept the wedding on track day-of as well. Our wedding party always knew where to be and when. I felt so comfortable letting Beth coordinate with our DJ and photograph prior to the day and day-of, which took so much stress off me as I did not have a wedding coordinator. In addition, I would highly recommend inviting your guests to stay in Chaumette's Villas. Lindy, our Villa coordinator, went above and beyond to help us with the Villas. Our guests were so impressed with the lovely Villas that they are all trying to plan trips back (most traveled from out of state to attend). If you are looking for an AFFORDABLE venue that has accommodating lovely staff, wonderful wines, award winning food and a property that can give you stunning photos, then I would highly recommend Chaumette. Oh, and did I mention they offer a variety of decor so that can also help save money! If you're looking for a venue you owe it to yourself to visit Chaumette (and eat lunch while you're there - so so good!)

We brought in a dance floor, tent and outdoor seating. The staff made it all so easy and worked with all of our venders. The food was amazing! We did heavy hors d'ouvres and separate hot and cold food stations - our menu was to die for! We even had an oyster and shrimp bar! Chef Rob made it perfect! We finished up the evening in the villas with our closest friends and family. Perfect wedding venue in the rustic Missouri countryside!

t of 100 snuggly, but managed to seat everyone!) and our reception at the Ballroom. Both spaces were stunning. We stayed at the villas on site, which was a convenience that is priceless. The villas provided a serene place to get ready the morning before, and crash at the morning after! In regards to food, our guests are STILL raving about it. I’m blown away by the quality of the food, and that this was achieved for 100 people! This is the best wedding food in the Midwest, hands down. Yes, the venue was great, as were the villas and food, but the best part about Chaumette is their staff! We had Beth as a wedding coordinator (who’s service was free when we booked with Chaumette), and she made our day absolutely perfect! Her and the staff set up the reception space, and cleaned up afterwards (including loading gifts into cars!). Plus, Beth was there the entire wedding day, helping with the flow of events. Throughout the day, she would ask my husband and I if we needed anything. It seems like such a small thing, but it made the world of difference! Thank you, Chaumette, for making all of these memories! We already can’t wait to come back for anniversaries to come.

, but the food and wine are incredible. The food and wine were absolutely AMAZING!! I know sometimes at weddings things that are massed produced don't always taste good. But, I had every single person rave about it. They have villas on property and they are so nice. I cannot say enough about this place. They told me that they didn't want me to worry about a thing on my wedding day. And they definitely delivered!

s very easy to communicate with and was quick to answer our millions of questions. She and her staff did an incredible job with the decorations in the barn and made it even more beautiful than I could have imagined. We had a family style dinner service and we're pleasantly surprised with how quickly everyone was served. The food was hot and absolutely delicious. Set up and clean up were all part of the package, which allowed us to spend more time with our family and friends. Thank you so much Chaumette, especially Beth. It was absolutely our pleasure working with you!

ood, the views, the service, it was all incredible. What we really loved the most about Chaumette was the fact that we had a day of coordinator. Our coordinator, Beth, made sure everything was exactly the way we wanted it. She was right beside us through the whole planning process at Chaumette. Without her help, our wedding wouldn't have been as incredible as it was. We also loved how everything is on property at Chaumette. My bridesmaids and I utilized the spa for hair and makeup and our wedding party and family stayed at the villas for the weekend. My husband and I had the best day ever and it was all because we chose Chaumette for our venue.

ke our dream wedding come to life. All of our friends and family said the night was magical and that it was one of the best weddings they have been to. If you want a destination wedding feel that is right outside of town THIS IS IT!

eel" we wanted. After viewing many venues, we decided that Chaumette was exactly what we were going for. It is a laid back atmosphere where we were able to envision our guests letting loose and truly celebrating our marriage with us. (After all, that's what it's all about, right?) This is exactly what we wanted and exactly what we got! Nothing about the wedding felt "stuffy" and our guests were able to kick back and enjoy the night with us. We also loved the solidarity of Chaumette. We've been to several weddings where it seemed that guests were looking to the next thing by dinner, asking, "Where are we going out after this?" When you're bringing all of your guests together for one day, it's nice to have their focus and know that you're going to get to see them before, during, and after the wedding. Hosting our wedding at Chaumette allowed everyone to step away from the chaos of real life and enjoy a weekend away, with us, to celebrate. On that note, I was originally worried about it being a bit secluded. How are our guests going to get there and back? What about travel for vendors? It all ended up coming together, perfectly, without much effort. Many of our guests stayed on-site in Chaumette's Villages. Other guests stayed in Farmington at a hotel that provided a shuttle. As for vendors, there were several who traveled to Chaumette for no charge or for a very small fee (which would have been required for travel to any location). This was not the headache that I anticipated and the solidarity noted above outweighed any planning needed due to Chaumette's location. One final reason to choose Chaumette: it's a one stop shop and everything they offer is amazing. When we were looking at venues, I could not fathom the additional work required when you rent a venue that is really just a "space." Looking back, I still cannot imagine this. There is already so much on your plate when you are planning a wedding. The thought of renting everything, down to knives and forks, is crazy. With Chaumette, everything is included. Additionally, they have on-site catering that is top-knotch, and your rental includes a planner. (Shoutout to Beth, who became my right-hand woman and was SO helpful.) Also, you can hold your ceremony on site as well, which we did on the Barn Lawn. This all made planning so much easier. To summarize, Chaumette is gorgeous. The wine is great. The food is amazing. The staff is amazing. We are so pleased with our decision to marry and celebrate at Chaumette!

ceremony should be moved indoors. It was the shortest wedding ceremony of all time and Beth and her staff got all the guests under cover before the next deluge of rain fell!!! As far as the food, I am still hearing about the mashed potatoes to this day, all of the food was amazing! No one left hungry that night. The villas are beautiful and again the staff at Chaumette made sure our villas were ready to go as each guest arrived, many before check in time.

ly made it the a convenient destination wedding that was as enjoyable as the wedding itself. We had the rehearsal dinner Friday night in the Barrel Room in which they provided excellent food and drinks. The wedding was at Willow Grove and was gorgeous. Our reception was at the barn and it couldn't have gone better. It was beautiful and the staff was amazing. Our guests all commented on how great the food was and we had a ball :) This place is an absolute gem. Highly recommended!

ff at Chaumette could carry out the many details involved in planning a wedding. From our first visit with the Sales Director Keith to our final goodbye with our wedding coordinator Beth, we were blown away with the attention to detail, creativity, and top notch quality of service that we received. Chaumette Winery offered us the opportunity to have a destination wedding close to home. The Barn setting was the perfect backdrop for our rustic elegance theme. The night was simply magical. I cannot say enough about our meeting planner Beth. She was quick to respond to our emails, offer suggestions to help us stay within our budget, and executed the smallest detail on a hot August summer day. We had over 200 guests in the barn and the food was amazing. My daughter is Vegan and my son-in-law is Vegetarian. The chef worked with them to create a fantastic meal on their special day. Our wedding guests are still talking about the Macaroni and Cheese. The Villas were first rate and allowed our wedding party and relatives to stay on site. I wish they had more Villas as our wedding guests didn’t want to leave. Chaumette Winery was the perfect place to host our daughter’s wedding. Thank you to all the staff at Chaumette Winery & Vineyards. The Barn tucked back into the woods overlooking the hills of Missouri will forever hold many special memories.

check list to make sure we were all on the same page for the big day. We didn't have to worry about anything at all. The reception was perfect as well, the tables set up just as I wanted and the food was so delicious everyone loved it!

th and she was amazing! She made us feel at ease on our wedding day and went the extra mile to make sure we were happy as well as our guests! I highly recommend Chaumette because of their attention to detail, delicious food which my husband, a chef, approved of, and their beautiful setting that you definitely can't find just anywhere!

great to work with and is so helpful with even the smallest of details. The food is absolutely amazing. Our guests could not believe how amazing this place is! We love Chaumette!!

itting in the background surrounded by woods, and Dwane and I standing under a beautiful fall Arbor, it was a spectacular setting to share with our family and friends. With the highly skilled professional staff, it made the planning easy and the execution flawless. On our wedding day the staff made sure that we had nothing to worry about. From a pre-wedding lunch for the wedding party , to opening the chapel doors for our magical entrance, to packing the gifts and decor at the conclusion of the reception--the staff did it all. Chaumette and their wonderful staff exceeded our expectations and everyone of our guests were so impressed with the location, the food, the decor and the beauty of our wedding Thank you Chaumette

Grove is GORGOUS our pictures are beautiful. There is so many amenities Chaumette has to offer. A magical place it is!

The entire experience exceeded our expectations with wedding coordinator Beth, wine expert Rodney, and Chef Rob feeling like old friends or family by the end of our journey. We will celebrate our anniversary there every year and intend to make frequent trips throughout the year. We highly recommend Chaumette for anyone's wedding or special event, or just a weekend getaway.

nd almost all went out of their way to tell me how impressed with the amazing venue right here in Southeastern Missouri. Sharon, the event planner, is amazing. We toyed with hiring a separate planner and realized after the wedding that this would have not been necessary. Sharon ran the rehearsal seamlessly and called and checked in with all of my vendors multiple times before the big day. The food is amazing too; our biggest crowd pleasers were creole deviled eggs; mac and cheese with buttery breadcrumbs and andouille sausage lollipops. The venue itself is beautiful as are the villas and the bridal suite. I didn't end up using the spa to get ready the day-of, but my bridesmaids did have a mani/pedi there the day before and it was very high end and a great experience. I couldn't recommend this venue more -- it's a great value and truly uncompromising service.

y away from the prices, you should know that the whole team STRIVES to create a worry free, beautiful, memorable event for you and your guests. After booking here, you'll work with a wedding coordinator to craft your occasion, so rather than hiring another professional, you get this service along with all the other components of your costs. And the service was impeccable! Thanks so much to the whole team at Chaumette!

r ceremony, full plated sit down dinner, open bar reception, and dance. Sharon and Beth from Chaumette listened and cared, and then mobilized, to execute all our plans and make all of our guests feel special and welcome. Gorgeous place! Wonderful people! Great food and wine! Thank you, Sharon and Beth.

d class chef is in the kitchen. Love Chaumette

information you didn't even know you would need. They clearly have done this many times before and it definitely showed throughout our entire planning process and the day of our wedding. We ended up renting villas the night before our wedding so that we would already be on property that morning to get ready. Since check-in time in the villas isn't guaranteed until 4:00 PM we thought it was best to make sure we had our villas before then for a 5:00 PM ceremony time so this is why we got 2 villas for the night before (1 for bridesmaids to get ready in and 1 for groomsmen to get ready in). We would definitely recommend doing this. It made everything so easy the day of already being there. If you do not want to rent the villas you are also able to get ready in the Spa area if you are getting your hair & makeup done by them. If you are not getting hair & makeup done by them you can use the downstairs locker room area (however this is not private). I wanted to use my own vendor for hair and makeup so we went with the villas and were very pleased with them. Our wedding guests actually ended up renting out all of the villas to stay in that night. It was awesome to have so many of our friends and family staying on site. The villas were amazing. Very open and clean. They were very accommodating with letting us have a late check-in because we were driving in late Friday night from St. Louis after our rehearsal dinner. I would 100% recommend staying in the villas. We had our wedding ceremony on the lawn outside of the barn. It turned out beautiful! We were forecasted for 90% chance of rain, but thankfully we ended up being clear all day! The good news though, if you do end up having rain they have great plan B options for rain. There is a chapel on the property, however our wedding would have been to large for the chapel. They also have a loft in the barn that you can use. Our plan B would have been to have our ceremony on the patio where the dance floor is and then clear the chairs out. While waiting for the ceremony to begin we were able to hang out in a room they have right next to the bathrooms. It was heated and worked out perfectly so that guests weren't trying to find us before the ceremony. While we were waiting Sharon was very attentive and helped get the ceremony moving. For our reception we had it in The Barn. The barn is right next to the lawn that we had the ceremony at so it was very easy for guests to go straight from the ceremony into the barn for cocktail hour. Our wedding was a little bit larger than what the barn would normally hold but they gave us great options to accommodate our guests. We ended up putting tables on the porch and also on the patio and it worked out great. There are SO many amazing places for photos on their property.If you are planning on having a wedding here I would allow extra time for photos because there are so many cool areas for great shots! Of course, the vineyards are a great place for photos. The willow grove area also looks great. We ended up taking most of our pictures around the barn and in the loft. The food was amazing! So many compliments! Overall - AWESOME staff & venue!

a fall wedding. I am so thrilled that we chose Chaumette as our wedding venue.

completely taken care of. It is a little pricey, but you will not be disappointed with the outcome of the day! Everything went smoothly without a hitch. I loved this venue even more than I thought I could! Any bride would be blown away by this venue! You will not be disappointed!!

didn't even have an appointment. Jackie coordinated the wedding and allowed us to bring our motorcycles into the vineyards to get amazing photos! Jeannine was so sweet to work with and arranged the villas for everyone. Kathryn was a pure joy in the spa and my matron of honor and I enjoyed a relaxing day of nails, hair and makeup. Sharon was an incredible coordinator. My fiancé dropped our decorations off at the barn and the staff turned the place into a stunning reception site! I saw pictures of other couples who had wedding there and thought mine could never look as good. But it was beyond anything I could imagine. After the wedding, everything was boxed up and we picked it up the next morning. Chaumette was a perfect wedding destination because everything you could need is right there and the staff have done so many weddings that everything just falls together perfectly. They keep things on track and always made me feel so special. I felt like I was the only bride they ever had. I appreciated not having to stress about anything- it was well worth every penny to be able to just sit back and enjoy the day!! We can't wait to visit again soon!

h Keith who gave a wonderful presentation and answered all our questions when booking this venue for our wedding the next year. Jeannine was very helpful and patient in explaining and organizing the villa reservations for my family and bridal party and helped each of us get booked. Kathryn and her team where such a blessing and took such good care of my bridesmaids and I for our prewedding spa day and all the getting ready activities before the wedding that evening. You could genuinely see on all of their faces how happy they where to get to experience the day with us and how beautiful everyone was. Then there was Sharon. You could not ask for a better wedding coordinator. From day one she was on it with every detail we had to go over, even covering things i didnt even think about. She was extreamly calm and professional when i was getting very emotional and a bit bridezilla on everyone. I had this picture in my head of what everything should look like and it was hard for me to let someone else take over the work so i could relax and get ready but sharon went above and beyond and truly cared to make sure it was perfect for me. We texted pics back and forth and she even brough a chair with the decorations up to me across the property so we could be on the same page. I got up there after our first look and the picture I had in my head was nothing compared to the beauty that was our wedding we had been planning and waiting so long for. I got complements all day friday and saturday on how good the food is, how helpful and friendly the staffing is, how georgous the venue alone is. I highly HIGHLY reccommend this venue to all brides looking to have a unforgrttable wedding. We had ours outside at the barn. They also have indoor facilities and we had our rehersal downstairs in their barrel room which is extreamly romantic. I cant thank this lovely group of people enough for giving us the best unforgetable day of our lives. We love you all. You are part of our family now and we will reccomend this place to everyone planning a wedding or just want a fun weekend gettaway. God Bless Chaumette!

different people. Our food was great. My only complaint there is I don't believe we were served the same potatoes we tasted and paid for. My family did complain quite a bit about the poor parking situation at the barn and it was very difficult to get my husbands grandma in and out of the barn in her wheelchair. They did make everything easy the day of as they do set up for you. Overall I am very pleased with our decision.

a tour prior to getting down to business. We knew the property of Chaumette could be magical, but we didn't know how fantastic the staff would be to work with. From the start Jackie and our wedding coordinator, Sharon, were easy to work with and listened carefully to our requests. They were supportive of our decisions, and made time to help us along the way. We had our ceremony at St. Vincent's Chapel, which was exactly perfect for our needs. We followed the wedding with a reception in the ballroom. I spent hours obsessing over decorations- all of which the staff happily put up for me while I was in the Spa getting ready with my bridesmaids. The ballroom is beautiful without decor, but with my individual touches it was exactly what I envisioned. Chaumette was everything I hoped for in a venue. The food was absolutely amazing. I had more guests comment on the food than any other part of the wedding (and I can't even take offense.. because the food was that good.) The scenery is gorgeous, and offers a wide range of photo options. Best of all, the property is full service, offering several options for ceremony, reception, and picture locations, as well as a beautiful Spa and Villa's for the wedding night. I can't imagine that my wedding could have been more beautiful than it was, or that it could have gone more perfectly than it did, and I have the staff at Chaumette to thank for making the experience so wonderful. If you want to have a winery wedding, Chaumette is a high class option with great tasting wine, and fantastic customer service.

and for the girls to get ready. My cosmetologist made sure my makeup looked perfect for me. The entire bridal party had lunch at the Tasting Room, Grapevine Grill. The food was delicious and a must on a very busy day. The staff did all the setup at the barn, so I didn't have to worry about it. They did an absolutely perfect job. It's hard to put into words the beauty of this venue. You have to visit and see it for yourself! Thank you for such a beautiful experience! Elizabeth & Lowell

tayed at the beautiful villas on site, coming early for a weekend getaway. Chaumette was a breath-taking location, the food was delicious, and the wine flowed freely. I appreciated how the staff worked tirelessly to help me plan and execute my nuptials. They guided me through the entire process and were incredibly flexible and available. The best part was that when the day finally arrived, they handled everything, and I was able to enjoy myself, my groom, and our guests without a worry for the details. I knew the staff at Chaumette would handle any hiccup that might arise. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing.

he owner, Jackie, took us on a private tour of the grounds and spent well over 2 hours with us telling us the story behind the winery she owned with her husband and answering every question we had about having our wedding there. The icing on the cake was when we stayed for dinner to sample the delicious food by Chef Adam. When I booked with Chaumette, I was assigned a wedding coordinator, Bri, who was there to help me with questions and keep me organized through the planning process. She was a total life saver especially since I lived over an hour away from Ste Genevieve and needed help with vendors. My husband and I were married at Chaumette on August 30 and we couldn't be happier with decision of venue. We took full advantage of every amenity they had to offer: - Barrel Room: We had our rehearsal dinner here. The room is decorated with wine barrels and tea lights and was the best cozy, intimate location for our group of 35. - Villas: It worked out so perfectly that there are sleeping accommodations on-site since the closest hotel is 25 minutes away in Farmington. They are a little pricey to stay at, but if you fill to capacity, the price per person isn't so bad (the largest villa is $495/night for 10 people). They have full kitchens and are beautifully decorated. I would recommend working with Sarah when booking the villas, because Jeanine is disorganized. - The Spa at Chaumette: I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Kathryn, who runs the Spa. When I walked in the spa for my day of wedding appointments, she gave me a hug and shared my excitement with me. I had hair, nail and make-up appointments for me, my bridesmaids and mom and she was extremely accommodating and caring throughout the entire process. Everyone was finished on time and looking beautiful! The Spa also has a pool with cabanas! - The Barn: Our ceremony was on the lawn outside of the Barn and it was everything I had always wanted in an outdoor ceremony. The Barn is tucked into a wooded corner on a hilltop, which makes it feel really private. The flowers and greenery planted around the Barn also makes it a gorgeous place for pictures (and helps save on florist costs!). Our ceremony was in August, so we were a little concerned about the heat and bugs. Luckily, there is a really nice breeze that passes through on the hilltop and the grounds are consistently sprayed for bugs so I didn't notice a thing! My only cons with the Barn would be the guest parking. Guests park in the grass and then walk up on gravel roads. It's a little dirty and dusty for guests and cars show up in the ceremony pictures. I think this is a renovation that will be completed soon. Our reception inside the Barn was perfectly executed. We had 154 guests and it didn't feel cramped at all, but I would not recommend going any higher in guest count. - Chef Adam Lambay: Seriously, incredible food! I was fortunate to have him cater our rehearsal dinner, our lunch at the Spa, our wedding dinner and our farewell breakfast. Every single meal was amazing. I had so many compliments from guests on the venue. A million thank yous to the Jackie, Hank and the staff at Chaumette. You made our dream wedding come true!

el like my ideas and needs were always important. The barn, where we had our wedding, was amazing! The views were breathtaking and everyone who came to our wedding said it was the best wedding that they had ever attended. The villas are beautiful and peaceful. If you choose this venue, you will not be disappointed.

ed to change ceremony plans last minute. They are good about having backup plans if needed to accommodate changing weather. Guests commented on how delicious the food was, especially the smoked brisket. The best part about Chaumette is that they offer Spa services, catering, lodging, etc. They are a one stop place for your dream wedding.

and joys to work with. They went above and beyond to make our wedding the most special day. The food was delicious. The venue was simply gorgeous. We transformed the Barn into a magestic place. All in all, I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Chaumette and the wedding team!!

ing for me. I was just able to relax. My wedding coordinator was amazing. Throughout the nights of events she would come and say its almost time for the cake cutting when you finish up here head over to the cake table. Or the ceremony will be getting ready to start in about 10 minutes I will be back for you in a few minutes. We did not run into a single problem. Even the weather wanted to be a little difficult that day to where we thought we might have to have the ceremony inside. The staff let us wait until the very last second that we had to to make the call and I was able to have it outside just as planned. It honestly is a beautiful venue with beautiful scenery. Guest after guest kept commenting on how gorgeous everything was. All I could say is I know because it was. The food was delicious. Our meal was served promptly after being seated and was hot and extremely good. Thankful for the helpful staff at Chaumette that made my experience and day so wonderful! Is it the cheapest venue there is no not necessarily but for all they do for you, provide for you, and coordinate for you it is so worth it. They set up the entire area for me so I didn't have to talk friends into helping out. They also packed everything away for me afterwards. All I had to do was pick up my boxes the next day. They have many items they provide free of charge such as wine barrels, lanterns, and table linens. Very impressed with Chaumette as was all of my guests. Can't wait to attend another event there someday.

all of our questions were answered in a timely manner. Overall, our wedding experience at Chaumette was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for a better day. The venue is beautiful and the view from the Barn is breathtaking. Every wedding has some hiccups, our only complaints were the crunchy baked beans (they were extremely undercooked) which was unfortunate since we only offered two main entree side dishes to our guests, and an inadequate amount of set up time. Our wedding was very DIY, and we weren't allowed to start setting up until 10am. At 3:00, there were still boxes lying everywhere and guests were scheduled to show up at 3:45. In the end, everything worked out great and our guests are still raving about how beautiful and fun our wedding turned out! I would definitely recommend Chaumette to future Brides.

ic chapel, food, wine, luxury spa and overnight guest villas are wonderful. If you are looking to have a wedding at a vineyard this is where you want to be! Gina Dean-Couture Floral and Events!!!!

cessfully met all her expectations. I appreciate your patience and skill in pulling this all together for us. The venue, the food, the staff and everyone at the spa could not have been any better. I have received so many positive comments and feedback from wedding attendees about Chaumette that I thought it should be shared with others.

y detail was accounted for, that my personal needs were met, and they made accommodation on top of accommodation. Seriously,they made me gluten free cookies and used real lavender to make lavender syrup for a specialty cocktail. When I say they go beyond, I am not lying. The space is gorgeous, the landscape is amazing, and I have to also emphasize that the food is awesome. We come from a family of chefs and major foodies, and they could not stop raving about the food. Wedding food tasting fabulous?? Sign up here!!! We made the event a reunion weekend and stayed in the villas and used the spa services. We also had our rehearsal cocktail event there as well. Every single person had the best time ever. The villas are gorgeous. The spa is amazing and beautiful. The rehearsal food and service was impeccable. I have no regrets and just hope a friend of mine chooses to get married there, so I can experience Chaumette all over again!

ce that Jackie showed us that day and promised us for our wedding day. Chaumette delivered on their promises. They do EVERYTHING for you the day of the wedding (and lots leading up to the day). I have no worries in the hands of my amazing coordinator, Bri. She was so helpful and professional and did everything in her power to take the stress of me on the wedding day. Another bonus was an incident that I had with the owner of the venue. My parents had rented a villa for myself and my bridesmaids the evening before the wedding but forgot to make breakfast arrangements. We were starving but no place was close enough for us to eat. The owner called someone and within minutes we were eating a gormet breakfast by the pool. Talk about customer service! Chaumette goes above and beyond in everything they do. Get married here! They have multiple locations on site to make any couple happy.

and the winery as our backdrop. We used Dan Hoerle’s wonderful guitar skills as our background music for the ceremony and cocktail hour. It just made the experience that much better—thank you to Chaumette staff for the recommendation. The barn is set apart from the rest of the winery, providing privacy and amazing views. The natural beauty of the winery, and the barn venue create an ambiance that feels outside of the Midwest. The food at Chaumette is perfection, a quality you don't normally see at weddings that service hundreds of guests. Dinner at our rehearsal in the barrel room was delicious and intimate. Surrounded by wine barrels and candles, we dined on Chaumette chicken and homemade bread. Our pork at the wedding was such a unique pick, the menu was really a masterpiece. Chef Adam is a hidden gem, if you haven’t eaten at the grapevine grill yet, get there immediately. The night of our reception our guests kept complimenting the amazing food! This is purely preference, but we also had Rhythm of the Night as our band for the evening, and the live music really added to the rustic outdoor experience. My only complaint throughout the process was the turn over of the staff. I hope that this was a rare experience, and that they have finally settled in, because they have such a good thing going now. I was very nervous when our first wedding planner left, but Jackie Johnson swooped in, and really made our experience fantastic. The spa also had a lot of turnover, which was nerve racking, but when Katherine came into the picture, I immediately felt better. Katherine at the Spa is a dream. She fixed every worry, and was so pleasant to work with. Our hair and makeup experience was very relaxing, and enjoyable. They set aside a private room for all of us to get ready in, as we enjoyed snacks and mimosa’s. It started to rain before our first look, so we also used the spa porch for our first pictures together, still gorgeous, because at Chaumette you can’t find an unappealing view even if you tried. We did get our own wedding planner involved when the turnover began, which I would highly recommend if you can make it happen, just for your own peace of mind. It was convenient when I didn’t know what questions to ask, or how to make sure that certain details were executed. Chaumette worked very well with our planner, and together they really created the most beautiful and memorable day. Jackie Johnson is also VERY good at her job--you wouldn't expect her to take on as many roles as she does as the owner of the winery--making sure that all of your wishes come true. A wearer of many hats, she is a truly talented individual, very classy lady, and was a pleasure to work with. 

We love Chaumette, it is a winery that we frequent because of their beautiful views, amazing quality of food, and delicious wine. We are so thrilled that we were able to share our love of this beautiful winery with all of our wedding guests, and that we have such wonderful memories from our absolutely perfect day. If you are looking for a rustic winery wedding, you’ve found it, and your guests surely be impressed!
