Absolutely Amazing Venue!
We’re one month past our wedding, and I’m still receiving compliments about how incredible everything was. A huge shout-out to Emily, our Day-of Event Coordinator. She was fantastic from start to finish—always responsive to emails, offering quotes, and even meeting with us in person months before the big day. Emily went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and I truly can't say enough good things about her. Give that girl a raise!
We were actually more than half an hour ahead of schedule, and Emily and the staff adjusted the dinner time without a hitch. We even had a special shot that they were happy to make for us all night long. The views? Chef’s kiss! Simply breathtaking. The food was incredible—hot and delicious (a rarity at weddings, I’ve heard!).
The venue also helped with setup, handling all our decorations, and they took care of setting the tables—plates, forks, napkins, you name it! They made everything look perfect. If you’re looking for a stress-less, beautiful, and well-organized wedding, do yourself a favor and book your event here. As a bride who wasn’t the most organized and admittedly a bit over my head, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

They did a phenomenal job helping me feel comfortable and encouraging me to make my “dream wedding” vision come to life. The venue is gorgeous- it looks like Tuscany- and feels like a destination wedding. The staff were so kind throughout the process as we had numerous questions and last minute fixes. We used the venue as both our ceremony spot and reception and found it so homey, warm, and elegant feeling. After the reception, many of us used their villas and their “no contact” option made it so easy to check in/ out on a busy day. My husband and I stayed at the villa the night of our wedding and walked around the property the next day. It feels so peaceful, like a slower pace of life. Truly can’t thank them enough for all they did. Shoutout to Emily too for being the best coordinator!

We booked our wedding venue 14 months in advanced of our wedding. We fell in love with it the minute we saw it. We had our wedding at the barn this past weekend and it was the most magical time. It rained during our wedding so we couldn’t have our ceremony on the lawn but that was ok. Emily was a wonderful help with every step of the process. She helped me not panic when my cake even slid off the cake board, and found a solution!
Needless to say. It was worth the drive from STL for this place.

We had visited Chaumette for our first time on 6/21. We had made it our special place. On 9/22/22 we had our proposal during the balloon glow. From then we knew we wanted to have our ceremony there. As it would so happen, we had our ceremony one year later on 9/22/23. That evening was also the balloon glow! We started planning our simple wedding on 4/23. We had our beautiful ceremony on the lawn in front of the chapel with our family. The wedding coordinator Molly worked with us to accommodate our needs and help during our ceremony. Charles the General Manager assisted with lodging and accommodations. Everything was professional and stress free. Our special day all came together smoothly. Thank you, Charles and Molly, for making our special day absolutely perfect! Cody and Tiffany

Our wedding at Chaumette was gorgeous! Molly helped us every step of the way. They were even able to recommend a photographer to us. The food was fabulous, the grounds were stunning, and all of our out-of-town guests greatly enjoyed spending a weekend in the rolling hills of rural Missouri.

Molly was amazing in coordinating our wedding! We had some hiccups along the way with planning however once Molly took over as our coordinator, everything ran smoothly and it was amazing. We also had some hiccups with Villa reservations also however everything worked out and it was truly the best day of our lives. We had a tornado warning an hour before the ceremony however it was handled so well by Molly and we were able to push everything back 20 minutes and it turned our great! We’ve been told by several guests that it was the best wedding they had been too. The food was amazing. The venue was beautiful. It couldn’t have been more perfect.

Absolutely amazing. Diana was our day-of coordinator, and she rocked it. Anything I needed she took care of immediately and was very quick to answer every question and fill every request I had. Diana and her team set everything up and tore everything down so my husband and I were able to enjoy our day with very little stress. The food was exceptional, definitely get the three cheese mashed potatoes. The bartender was awesome, super sweet girl and she made the best drinks! The venue is absolutely breathtaking, from the gorgeous chapel, to the rolling hills that can be seen from everywhere on the property. Diana and her team are awesome at what they do, our reception in the barn was beautiful and set up exactly how I wanted it. The villas are super nice as well. We couldn't have picked a better place for one of the most important days of our lives. Thank you so much to the entire Chaumette team, everything was perfect.

Chaumette was the perfect venue for our wedding. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful! The staff is attentive and reliable!
My wedding coordinator, Maggie, was there every step of the way to answer all my questions and address any concerns I had. The food was amazing, the villas were absolutely beautiful, and the barn was the perfect place for our ceremony and reception. We had a wild storm roll through right before the ceremony and the staff allowed us to push it back 30 min (after the storm passed) and they cleaned up and set everything up to where I didn’t even notice a storm came through!
I can’t recommend them enough. They made our wedding day perfect!

I seriously don’t even know where to start. I saw the barn at Chaumette and immediately fell in love. After a tour of a few venue - it was without a doubt the venue for us. Not only because it is absolutely gorgeous, but the staff cares so much about the details and they do it with a smile.
I was one of the “lucky” brides who had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. Even THAT was a breeze with them. The best part was getting to plan everything with Abigail, their Director of Events who was assigned as my day of coordinator.
Abigail was BEYOND helpful, timely, and just a genuinely kind human who made working with the venue (for 2+ years once it was all said and done) a total breeze. No question went unanswered and handled everything we had planned with grace.
This venue makes sure it is your day. Not just our coordinator, but the waiters, and especially the staff at the villas.
Just a few examples:
Abigail truly helped bring our boho chic barn wedding to life with her knowledge of the venue and even got their early to let some family members hang neon signs.
The waiters and waitresses came up to me during photos just to bring me and my husband Ordervs (which we SO needed lol)
The villas helped us in every way possible at every turn to help us manage so many people coming in from out of town. Calling with updates, cleaning villas early, and even mailing me items left behind.
This is just a small list of things I could go on and on about.
The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. Any photo, while gorgeous, does not do justice to the ambiance the barn and the lawn have. Walking into the fully decorated venue and dancing on the patio will be some of my favorite most beautiful memories.
The food - ohhhh my gosh - the FOOD. Everyone could not (and still can’t!!) stop talking about it. I have literally had dreams of it since our wedding day. Yes - it’s that good. Here’s a plot twist - I’m a vegetarian, and they cater to ANY diet with no issues and everyone raved about it no matter what the meal.
The villas are beyond gorgeous. When my family first arrived to their villas I got photos and videos of everyone saying how blown away they were by how cozy, beautiful, clean and overall cool they were. Having my family and bridal party on site made for an epic wedding weekend with people making use of the beautiful area the venue has to offer. Some went on walks in the early morning, some hit the pool after rehearsal dinner, and many patio hopped after the wedding celebrating and having a blast.
We did a bonfire at the end of our wedding which was the cherry on top of an amazing night. Some people came dressed as is, others went back to villas and changed, but either way the staff there was friendly and accommodating. We ran into a minor shuttle issue and as I tried to solve it the fire tenders said to me “you are the bride - this is your night. We will handle this (when I was happy to do it myself - the selflessly put us first). The fire was close to the barn and just an absolute blast on the perfect mid September night.
Long story short? I CANNOT rave about this venue and it’s staff enough. I will be back to visit for many years to come. If you are looking for the perfect wedding - Chaumette Vineyards and Winery is your venue. We are still on cloud nine. Thank you so much Chaumette!!!!

I cannot adequately express how thankful and truly happy I am that I chose Chaumette as the location for our wedding. Everything from the picturesque location to the accommodations, ceremony and reception venues, dinner and wine selections and assistance with day-of coordinating was top-notch. Our Day-of-Coordinator Collins was so professional and so key in ensuring that the vision I had for our dream day came true. Our wedding party and several more of our guests stayed in the villas on-site giving the weekend a true destination wedding feel in southeast Missouri wine country. Collins and the rest of the staff were so flexible and worked with us without question when our wedding had to be delayed due to COVID. The staff followed strict precautions throughout the event and it eventually went off without another hitch. I cannot commend everyone at Chaumette enough for the amazing wedding weekend we were able to have. I would highly recommend for anyone interested in an indoor or outdoor, traditional or rustic winery wedding!

This past weekend we had the most beautiful outdoor wedding in front of the chapel at Chaumette winery. Diana and her curious staff made sure that everything was just how we wanted it. Because of Covid, our original plans had to be changed, thus we did our planning in less than 3 months in a new venue (Chaumette) that was more than willing to have us, accommodate us, and meet our every need. They were friendly and flexible, with a can do, no problem attitude. We were very happy with everything and our guests were also impressed. Thank you for saving the day and making it magical for our daughter and new son in law!!

Chaumette was the most gorgeous venue for our wedding, and the people who we worked with were fantastic! The venue is stunning and we chose it for the beautiful view from the outdoor barn. We loved the idea of a destination wedding where everything was pretty much provided, we just had to show up!
We stayed at the on-site Villas, as did our wedding guests. We even hosted our rehearsal dinner at one of the large villas, and it was a perfect, low-key night we will remember forever! It was great because people were able to spend a lot of time getting to know each other over the weekend when they otherwise would not have had that opportunity at just the wedding.
Collins was our dedicated Wedding Coordinator, and she made our wedding planning process manageable and as stress-free as it could be. She was great to work with and was always able to answer any questions. (I had tons of them!) The day of our wedding, Collins kept things moving like clockwork, regardless of what was thrown at her. It rained the day of our wedding but Collins quickly and efficiently turned our outdoor wedding into an indoor wedding but still with the incredible view. The day after our wedding (a Sunday), she answered questions from me and my mother no later than 8 am about how best to retrieve items from the barn.
I highly recommend Chaumette for your wedding, and I am so glad we had our wedding here. Thank you, Chaumette, Collins, Nicole, and everyone who we worked with, for giving us a wedding night we will always remember!

Abby & Dustin, your ceremony was a true pleasure to be a part of! Personally we are truly ...
jealous of your amazing wedding party & guests. From the cute/ugly Christmas sweaters rehearsal the night before the ceremony to an amazingly adorable holiday sleigh for the processional, your party had the theme, spirt, and joy. Every person in your wedding party was such a warm, kind, playful bunch; we can only imagine that the reception was a blast with many shenanigans to be remembered for years to come! ~Collins & Diana

Having our wedding at Chaumette was a dream. The barn and the surrounding scenery was the perfect place to spend our weekend. I love that this winery has villas for guests to rent. The villas were a perfect place to get ready on the day of the wedding. Also, they are a great place to relax the day after.
Besides the breathtaking setting, the staff was exceptional. They were so organized and took care of the entire set up process. This made the night before our wedding and the day of less stressful. I was amazed when I walked into the barn to see it set up just like I imagined. We used several vendors from their preferred vendors list and were so pleased with how amazing they all were. The food was the best. We have not stopped receiving compliments about it!
I cannot say enough good things about Abigail. She was accessible throughout the entire process. Whatever question I had, she quickly was able to provide us with an answer. She met with us several times to talk about our ceremony and reception. Our wedding would not have gone as smoothly without her and am so grateful she was our wedding coordinator. She ran the rehearsal dinner and made sure everything followed the timeline during the evening of the wedding. Chaumette was beautiful and made sure our day went smoothly. I definitely recommend this venue!

I am from the area and was dead set on having a destination wedding. My mom convinced me to look at Chaumette and consider it as a venue. I had not been to Chaumette in about 5 years as I live out of state now. It completely blew us away and we were so happy with our decision to host our wedding there. We loved that we could do everything there on the grounds - ceremony, reception, lodging. The Villas are amazing and our out of town guests loved staying there and took full advantage of the amazing pool area for pre and post wedding events. Our wedding coordinator Abigail was a dream to work with. She was very accommodating and so pleasant and helpful. All of our guests cannot stop talking about the beautiful scenery and amazing food prepared by their head chef. They are total rock stars and help you throw an amazing party and event!

Chaumette was a dream to work with! We had to move our wedding date fairly last minute and they were so helpful with making arrangements! Beth, our go to wedding coordinator was honestly the best. She made sure we weren’t panicked or worried about anything (and with two brides that says a lot!!), she helped our family members with last minute seating mishaps, she was attentive and always made sure we had what we needed. The venue itself was beautiful, we were originally going to get married in the barn but due to it being winter we changed to indoors and I did not regret a thing. It was beautiful, perfect for our size wedding and led to everyone being warm and happy! The villas being onsite meant more of our guests could come from out of town and we are already planning to visit again in the summer to relive our best day ever! Thank you so much, to all the staff. A special thanks to one of the girls who found our bridesmaids purse in the middle of the road - she says you’re a life saver !!

The staff at Chaumette Winery did a fantastic job at my wedding. My coordinator, Collins, kept me on track with planning and answered all of the crazy questions that I had. She always got back to me promptly. She handled the reception for me and 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.

We had the most wonderful wedding at Chaumette! Hands down, Jackie Collins, was such an amazing coordinator. It was stress free because of the fabulous staff. Our guests stayed on property with us and everyone loved their villa. We got married 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!

There really is no place to start to begin to tell everyone how amazing Chaumette is. The venue is breath taking the food is to die for and the people are not beatable. Every member of the Chaumette team made sure that our wedding was exactly what 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!!

Do you want to actually enjoy planning your wedding and not be bogged down with all the little details and having to hire multiple vendors? Enjoy best-in-class food from a restaurant voted BEST in the nation? Work with good people who are willing 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

I cannot begin to describe how amazing Chaumette was to us and to our family. We fell in love with the winery in Summer of 2017, shortly after getting engaged. We knew upon visiting the grounds for the first time that we would marry there--we put 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.

Of all the wedding decisions we made, the decision to have our wedding at Chaumette was the best!
Service: I cannot say enough fabulous things about our coordinator, Beth! I really don’t think I could have pulled the wedding off without her. She 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!

We had our ceremony and reception at the Barn in Chaumette and it was a dream come true for me. Beth was so amazing to work with. The day of my wedding all I did was relax and wait to walk down the aisle. They set up everything for us and made 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!

I wish there were more than 5 stars. Our experience with Chaumette was out of this world. It was the first and only venue we toured because we fell in love on the spot. The entire team there is fantastic and everyone was so helpful. I have to shout 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.

My husband and I had our dream wedding at Chaumette. The rustic, sophisticated, elegant and understated beauty of the barn was the perfect venue to create an ambiance that we'll never forget. The team at Chaumette was superb in every way. It was 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!

We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception in the barn at Chaumette and our experience was nothing short of amazing. I loved that we had the ability to make the day what we wanted and unique to us but at the same time, they also have decorations 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!

AMAZING venue! Absolutely the most beautiful views I have ever seen! Beth Caldwell was an amazing coordinator and very professional. She took charge and everything ran smoothly. We had the perfect ceremony and reception! It rained during the ceremony 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.

Chaumette was amazing and it made my wedding experience so hassle free that I could not have asked for more. Beth was so wonderful and I could not have asked for a better venue experience. Everything was handled in a way that left me with little 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!

Our wedding took place on August 19, 2017. We were able to book with Chaumette easily in the fall of 2016. Every step of the process from our first visit to the post-wedding recovery was painless and enjoyable! Our wedding ceremony took place on 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!

My husband and I got married in the barn at Chaumette the first weekend of September 2017. Our coordinator was Collins and she did a FABULOUS job! I’m a very type A person and like to have control of everything, Collins made sure that I had nothing 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.

I would give 10 stars if I could! Me and my husband own our own business so planning a wedding seemed impossible with our busy schedules. We were so worried! Chaumette offered us a wedding planner and through a couple visits and a few emails they 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!

My husband and I fell in love with Chaumette the moment we stepped on the property. It was the first venue we looked at and nothing else could come close to comparing. We had our wedding August 26th, 2017 and it could not have been more perfect! 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!
