Our wedding at the Forest Park Golf Club was absolutely outstanding! Lexi was stellar helping us when we first visited, learning about the different package options, and finding out that we could make the dream of having our wedding reception in Forest Park come true!
Maddie did more than we could ever have hoped for as our coordinator, helping us with decorating ideas, arranging all of the details, and getting everything set up perfectly on the day of the reception. We made some additions the week of the wedding that the club accommodated seamlessly. They made everything as easy as it could have been.
Our photographer was in an accident on the wedding day (oh no!) which pushed back the timing of the wedding. We arrived later than planned at the reception. Maddie was waiting outside with golf carts so we could immediately dash away for pictures at the Grand Basin- after she made a quick dash into the club to bring out some emergency finger nail tools! And the pictures around the Grand Basin: sunset reflecting on the water behind us… so beautiful!
And the food! The drinks! The service! Everything was absolutely outstanding. Me and my bride never got our own drinks- the servers were frequently asking us for anything we would like. It truly exceeded the dreams we had of what our Forest Park wedding reception could be!

We absolutely LOVED that we chose Forest Park Golf Course for our special day! It was BEAUTIFUL & everything we dreamed of!
Tram-anh was a ROCKSTAR! She was CONSTANTLY communicating & checking on us leading up to the big day & during our event. She always made sure we were taken care of! Our whole wedding flowed so smoothly & that would not have happened with her! We are so happy that we had Tram-anh for our day!
Our guest really REALLY complimented the food! It was all so delicious! They also really complimented the space & how beautiful it was with the lighting!
We could not have asked for anything better for our wedding day. It was WAY beyond all our expectations!

There are not enough nice things that I could say about this venue! For starters, our coordinator Tram-Anh was amazing! From answering all of my questions to ensuring the venue looked perfect on the day of, she made planning such a breeze. It was awesome to drop off decor the day before and to have so many elements such as linens, chairs, flatware, etc included in the price and offerings.
However, the wedding day was what blew us away. We received countless compliments on the food with many people saying it was the best wedding food they had ever had. We chose a salmon and steak duet plate, and multiple people complimented how perfectly the steak was cooked which is not an easy feat. Guests also loved the champagne wall upon entering, the complimentary water station, the outdoor space for socializing, and the gorgeous wall of string lights. As the bride, I felt so taken care of by the staff, and really appreciated how they made sure we got to try all of our food including our cake. The staff and service are truly top-tier.
I’m so happy and thankful we chose the space for our St. Louis wedding and recommended to any fried looking for a beautiful space and an stress-free day!!

Review from a seasoned Events and Wedding Planner/Coordinator: Working with the team at Forest Park Golf Club is a breath of fresh air.
Forest Park Golf Club assigns a venue event manager to each couple, who works with the couple throughout the lifetime of their planning and is there on the wedding day. We've worked with both Madison and Tram-anh through our couples' wedding days. They are both INCREDIBLE. These ladies are more qualified than the majority of venue managers that I've worked with in the St. Louis area as a coordinator. They allow couples to drop off their decor pieces early, set-up the decor items for them, and so much more. Their professionalism is elevated to another level that speaks volumes about how much they care for a wedding day. When you're on-site the entire staff from back-of-house to servers and bartenders to their catering managers are TOP-TIER and provide a luxury level of service to the guests, but also showed incredible kindness and partnership to their vendors. Their entire team was one unit and I was so consistently impressed by them at every turn. Their food was incredible and their chefs were so much more than overprepared for random last-minute dietary "surprises". As a planner/coordinator that doesn't always see this level of service and partnership at venues, it was a joy to work with them and would choose to work with them time and time again.

My husband and I have nothing but amazing things to say about Forest Park Golf Course. Our wedding this past Saturday was the wedding of our dreams all thanks to Madison!
Madison was so kind to work with and very professional at her job. She was quick with email responses and was extremely flexible with anything we wanted! Madison made sure we were taken care of and made our wedding experience so fun and memorable. She is amazing at what she does and we have nothing but great things to say.
The whole staff worked so hard and we appreciate every one of them! Every staff member was so friendly and did an amazing job accommodating all of our guests!
The food itself was absolutely phenomenal. Guests were raving and still are about how great everything tasted!
The venue itself is unique and beautiful. From floor to ceiling windows, a fireplace, champagne wall, huge outdoor area and the twinkle lights… we fell in love with it all!
Again, we can’t thank Madison enough for the incredible experience! You won’t regret having your wedding at Forest Park Golf Course!

Review from a seasoned Wedding Planner/Coordinator: I cannot recommend Forest Park Golf Course enough! I have worked weddings all over St. Louis (mostly high end) and I was blown away by their attention to detail and customer service. Maddie Massoth was our coordinator from Forest Park and went above and beyond! By far the BEST onsite venue wedding coordinator in St. Louis that I have ever worked with!!! She was more than accommodating by letting the family drop off items prior to wedding day, let us come see the venue multiple times and listened to our every need (with a smile). What really blew me away is that she offered and willingly set up the reception decor for us and didn't miss a single detail! This NEVER happens at venues (normally it is a scramble the morning of) and her doing that was beyond helpful. Maddie is a keeper and going places! Cannot say my praise enough about her! Besides Maddie, the whole staff was on point. Timeline was kept down to the minute. The food was AMAZING. Very high end service, as you would see at Ritz/Art Museum/Westwind Hills...but dare I say maybe even better? Go Forest Park Golf Course!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT FOREST PARK GOLF COURSE. Tram-anh and her staff were absolutely incredible. We spent about two years planning and Tram-anh was there with answers anytime we had questions. While we provided the decor and flowers, they were able to run with my vision and turn the venue to into a dream.
Her staff were so much fun and were making sure the guests had a blast. our guests complimented every single detail of the wedding because of Tram-anh and her staff.
10/10 would recommend, you will NOT regret booking here!!
Much Love,
Angela & Patrick

Overall very very happy with everything and this venue and their staff!

Forest Park Golf Club as our venue was the best decision we made throughout our wedding process! After touring the venue, we knew that this was the place we wanted to get married. The scenery and venue speaks for itself when you see it, but the behind the scenes work done by the people there (we were lucky enough to work with Tram-Anh, and Lexi) sets this venue apart. They worked so hard to make our big day exactly how we envisioned it. Having our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception all in one place made our day flow so smoothly. The staff couldn’t be more accommodating, and they worked so hard to make sure we and our guests had everything we wanted. We have also been told by many of our wedding guests that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. Thank you so much Forest Park Golf Course and their whole staff for making our wedding perfect!

We loved our wedding at Forest Park Golf Course! We had our ceremony out on the patio, cocktail hour on the covered veranda, and the reception inside the large event hall. Everything turned our so beautiful, and we couldn't have done it without our venue coordinator Tram-Anh! She was so helpful, responsive, and had great attention to detail. I was pretty organized and shared a lot of information with her prior to the day- of, and she was able to perfectly execute my vision for the decor and timeline.
The food was great, the staff was very helpful and speedy with service, and the cost of the event seemed very reasonable in comparison to many other St. Louis venues.
I would highly recommend Forest Park Golf Course for your day!

This Forest Park venue was perfect! Highlights include:
- Delicious food (We couldn't decide between all the tasty looking options so we went with the buffet and EVERYTHING was so good!)
- Beautiful indoor setting with a ton of nature light during the day and then cute string lighting in the evening
- Outdoor seating area (which was great for guests who didn't want to dance / listen to the band inside)
- Super helpful and thoughtful staff
- Easily accessibility: easy to find, park, and get inside

Forest Park Golf Course was AMAZING!!! Our guests can not stop talking about how amazing the venue was, how delicious the food was, and how great the staff/service was. Our coordinator, Maddie, was a GEM!! She dealt with many many emails and texts from me, especially the days leading up to our wedding. She was a great communicator with all details and any questions/concerns we had! There was nothing that we wanted to have that did not get done. The entire staff was amazing at making sure we were able to have everything we wanted that night. I couldn't recommend this venue more to anyone!!! Thank you to the staff and especially Maddie at Forest Park Golf Course:)

We felt incredibly fortunate to have chosen Forest Park Golf Course as our wedding venue. Tram-anh, our event coordinator, was an absolute superstar, going above and beyond to make our day perfect. The entire staff deserves a round of applause for their considerate and thoughtful service throughout our wedding journey. They were always there to answer our questions and guide us through the planning process with ease.
On the wedding day, everything fell into place just as we had envisioned. The ceremony and reception setups were executed flawlessly, creating a seamless and magical experience for us and our guests. The food was a true highlight, with guests reaching out to us afterwards to express how it was the best wedding food they had ever tasted. We couldn't agree more!
Forest Park Golf Course truly was the right choice for us, and we are so grateful for the memories created in such a beautiful setting. Thank you to everyone involved for making our day so special!

We reserved this venue 13-14 months ahead of time. They had a wedding there Friday and ours was on Saturday. There are window walls on both sides. There is beautiful wisteria and twinkle lights on one side and a lovely covered patio on the golf course side. We had 111 guests and were quite comfortable with plenty of room to dance and roam around. There is an open bar and the bartender was quick and the drinks were well made. The food was outstanding with steak and salmon and a pretzel bar at the end of the night! Our coordinator was Maddie and she was very professional and accommodating. She was flexible in meeting with us on short notice and never complained. It was an amazing experience!

Our wedding at FPG was absolutely incredible and perfect in every way. Our coordinator, Tram- anh was wonderful. I’m a event producer myself and it was hard at first to trust other people to execute my vision- once we met with her, I felt fully comfortable and she even sent me photos of the set up prior to the cocktail hour so I could get a peek before my guests arrived.
Everything was exactly as I wanted and envisioned. Everyone has raved about the venue, the indoor/outdoor space, food and staff. Also, the banquet chairs are SO comfortable (hard to come by in a venue) if you want an excellent, elevated, stress free wedding that will wow your guests, Forest Park Golf Course is it.

When we began our wedding planning process, we struggled to find a venue that aligned with both our vision and budget. A friend suggested Forest Park Golf Course, and my husband and I fell in love with the huge windows, natural elements, and St. Louis connections. The team was knowledgable, quick to respond, and super easy to work with; we loved working with Madison and are so appreciative of everything she did to make our day run smoothly!
The food was INCREDIBLE. We loved everything at the tasting, and our dinner was highly complemented by our guests. My husband and I love pickles, so we had requested a pickle hummus during the cocktail hour, which the chef was able to custom-make for us. But they also went above and beyond to surprise us with pickle spears too! It was a small detail but meant a lot to us.
With so many available venues in the area, I cannot recommend Forest Park Golf Course enough! It was so beautiful, and the staff made the planning process enjoyable and so easy!

This is a full-service venue. You only have to meet with the wedding planner and they do the rest. I thought we wouldn't be able to afford them--especially after I visited and saw what a beautiful room and view they had--but the Forest Park Golf Course banquet room was only several hundred dollars more than a venue with zero services (where I would have to book a caterer and make bar decisions, rent the tables, linens, china, glassware, plus decorate to make the plain and dull room look even a bit inviting). My nightmare of stress became joy thanks to the staff at the Forest Park Golf Course! They are all wonderful.

Forest park golf course was an amazing ceremony and reception spot. From viewing the venue and eventually booking it everything in between went smooth. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot and the food was amazing. We had around 200 people and it didn’t feel overcrowded. We got lucky with weather so people were able to hang outside and use the satellite bar which was a great add on feature. All our guests were so impressed with the venue itself and the food, don’t miss out on booking!

We had our wedding reception at Forest Park Golf Course on 11-18-23 and Shelbi was our event coordinator. Shelbi was absolutely incredible!!! She was so organized, responsive, and detail oriented from the first email, to the last. She always had great recommendations how to fill the space for our reception and made me feel at ease with the planning process. Shelbi helped make my timeline making sure the reception ran smoothly, set up the room with all of the decorations, and coordinated with all of my vendors. All of her hard work allowed me to skip hiring a wedding planner or day of coordinator because she did everything they could have done, but even better because she knows the space so well! She executed our vision for the day down to every little detail. The room was absolutely beautiful and her recommendations filled the space perfectly. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly, the drinks were excellent, and the staff was quick and friendly. The staff also helped us with the clean up at the end of the night. We were so impressed and pleased with Shelbi and the entire Forest Park Golf Course staff! We still have friends and family raving over the reception!

Icing on the cake- the food is all my guests still talk about from our wedding (which, as a lover of food, is the best compliment I have gotten from our day.)

This venue was quite literally the most perfect location for our special day. Shelbi was an absolute ROCKSTAR helping with literally every single detail throughout the whole process. We couldn't have asked for a better day-of coordinator.

Lexi seriously made the whole process as stress free as possible from the very beginning! She answered all of our million questions, met with us in person more than once, and ensured we had nothing to worry about on our wedding day except getting married. Herschel and his team at our reception were incredible. They were extremely friendly and accommodating to us and our guests. They were always available but never intrusive and honestly treated everyone like a friend.
We had a bit of a snafu with the seating chart (our mistake, not theirs) and Lexi handled it like the boss she is. We probably wouldn't have even known there was an issue had we not been told.
It is the perfect space for medium to larger weddings (we had around 170 guests) and the walls of windows make the room feel even bigger. Using the golf school room for the buffet meant nothing needed to be broken down in front of guests or before we could open the dance floor. The outdoor space is exceptional, and despite cold weather our guests were still able to enjoy it because of the heaters. Plus the windows allowed anybody outside to still feel like they're part of the action.
I honestly could go on and on about how great everything was and how we felt so taken care of!

I definitely recommend this venue to every couple that is planning their wedding! My husband and I knew we wanted to get married here the second we walked through the door. The outdoor space was perfect and the backdrop of the golf course behind the altar makes for beautiful photos during the wedding! Our guests complimented us on how naturally beautiful the venue is. The fireplace and brick walls really stand out and give the venue an extremely classy feel. We have received SO MANY compliments on the food during our wedding as well. My husband and I still talk about wanting to go back there to have one last wedding meal! :)
I want to give a special shout out to Lexi and the staff at FPGC. From the beginning, Lexi was extremely responsive to emails, was very detailed oriented, and helped us with our vision of the perfect wedding day. Lexi even gave us a few words of wisdom and made us feel so comfortable with the planning process. Her and the staff were there to set up our decor on the day of and I had full confidence in them to make things incredible for us! The bartenders and staff really gave us peace of mind on our wedding day that everything would go smooth. They always had a smile on their face and someone was always asking if we needed anything! It really takes a village to plan and execute a wedding and the folks at FPGC really deserve the highest recognition. Please consider this venue for your wedding. It'll be one of the best decisions you'll make!

We walked in completely unannounced on a Saturday afternoon in January 2022. We met Sloane, she walked us around, and we fell in love with The Champions Room for our son's upcoming Wedding Rehearsal Dinner in the Fall of 2022. Sloane threw the ball and Shelbi ran it in for the touchdown! Along with Herschel's direction, the entire staff, venue, food, and service were outstanding! They were so detailed and so quick to respond to every question, and with always a pleasant and happy attitude. This was the best place to host our event for sure. We had a fabulous experience from start to finish! Many thanks to Forest Park Golf Course for a wonderful party.

What a splendid place to have a wedding!

The rest of the house is on top of their game too. There's plenty of space inside, and the outside patio is a perfect place for guests to mingle. Everything went smoothly the day of and in preparation for the wedding. We definitely feel like we got our money's worth booking here.

I can’t say enough good things about this venue. Our wedding reception was absolutely magical. Lexi was our coordinator and she is an absolute gem! She made our night so beautiful and we can’t thank her enough! Who needs a wedding planner when you have Lexi! This reception hall is so beautiful and they will help you decorate it exactly as you want. I had so many people say how beautiful this place was!

I absolutely recommend this wonderful venue! It has it all, with indoor & outdoor space, convenience to St. Louis landmarks, hotels & highways. Lots of options with friendly, professional and hard working staff. Food is good and presented well. Event space is updated and sophisticated. The best part of this venue is the Private Events Coordinator Lexie Parks. She is a gem and makes the planning experience much easier! Lexie is friendly, upbeat, knowledgeable and always available to answer a question, offer an opinion or make a last minute change. The Saturday night of our wedding reception was the 4th event of the weekend for Lexie, that also included a Saturday morning wedding & reception. When we arrived at our reception, everything was set up per our instructions and looked awesome. Our experience was positive from beginning to end! We surprised our daughter&son in law with fireworks, if in your budget, it makes the night and there couldn't be a prettier setting. Finally, our guests raved about how much fun they had and how pretty the venue was, one said on a scale of 1-10, it was a 15.

The best decision we made during our wedding planning was booking our reception at the Forest Park Golf Course! It is such a beautiful space, in a great location, and has everyone you need during your wedding day. The food was great, the bar service was quick, and everyone enjoyed having access to the patio during the reception. They even put on the Mizzou Football game for my husband and father-in-law. The best part about our reception was working with Lexi and her team! My mom and I loved working with Lexi!! She is so responsive and easy to get a hold of! Lexi is such a great resource for advice and did an excellent job helping us plan our reception. They put everything together exactly like we had planned. We did not have wedding planner so having Lexi was such a huge help! She even helped take care of our rude, unprofessional videographer. Thank you again Lexi for everything!!

We held our ceremony and reception at Forest Park Golf Course and we are so happy with our decision. We worked with Sloane initially to set up our contract and then Lexi for day of coordination. Both of these ladies communicated quickly and clearly with all details leading up to the day. We did not have any surprises or hiccups leading up to or on the day of the wedding. Lexi was organized and ensured that everything ran exactly as planned on the wedding day. She was incredibly kind to work with and we are overall very pleased with the whole experience. Our guests raved about the venue and the indoor/outdoor space. We would highly recommend this venue to a couple looking for a place to hold their ceremony and/or reception.

The team at Forest Park Golf Course (led by Lexi) was great in accommodating us throughout all of the trials and tribulations of the pandemic year. We had to postpone our wedding from December of 2020 to July of 2021, but everything went smoothly. The communication was great and even when something didn't go exactly as we had planned, Lexi and the team quickly stepped in to help us out. The venue was beautiful and everyone had a great time. The food was also quite good and we didn't have the easiest set up with that! Bravo to the whole team and thanks for all your hard work.

FPGC was the best wedding reception venue! The space is beautiful even before decorations. The full windows and greenery added a beautiful touch to the evening. The entire staff was so easy to work with, even through our rescheduling process due to COVID. The food was amazing, drink service was prompt, and every worker was incredibly kind. Shout out to Lexi for making the entire night come together perfectly. I highly recommend looking at FPGC for your next event!

FPGC was everything we could dream of for our reception. They were very accommodating and helpful throughout our planning process and rescheduling due to Covid. The space checked every box on our list and lived up to that on the big day. We wanted to make sure we had all our guests in the same room, make sure the bar is near the dance floor and have beautiful scenery. It turned out to be all that and more. We were able to decorate and really make the space feel like our own. The food is also better than your typical wedding food. We were able to also work with the bar manager to ensure we had special bourbon brands. The entire staff could not have done a better job. We get compliments still on how beautiful and great our reception was and yet it was more affordable than others. What’s even better is it’s located right by where we spent all our time doing photos so it was very convenient for our day-of schedule. The location is also great for guests since there’s ample parking and centrally located for Uber’s/lyfts. I can’t imagine a better place for our reception!

FP Golf Course is such a beautiful venue and requires such a small amount of decorating to look fantastic and make it your own! But, that isn't the best part about this venue. The team here - specifically Lexi and Herschel were fantastic to work with. Lexi helped us so much from the moment we booked Forest Park through the entire reception. She was so straightforward and factual - which I completely appreciated. Herschel took care of both my mom and my mother-in-law, making sure they had food to eat and drinks when he didn't have to. He got my mom a turkey sandwich when she arrived at the venue because she hadn't eaten lunch, so she was able to eat before the ceremony and family photos. I can't say enough fantastic things about the team at Forest Park.
The food was also fantastic - everyone told me that it was the best food that they have had at a wedding!
I felt like this venue and team were the best kept secret of STL weddings because I haven't seen anyone else get married here! I am SO thankful for this vendor choice!

FPGC is such a hidden gem of a venue in St. Louis! We were so thrilled we happen to find it during our reception venue search. Everything at FPGC is what you would want for your reception: amazing staff, great value on F&B, the perfect amount of indoor and outdoor space and a perfect location in the heart of Forest Park! We couldn't have been happier with how our reception turned out and that couldn't have happened without the amazing event coordinator, Lexi, and their entire staff! Lexi was prompt in responding to our questions and changes, patient when we were slow to respond, flexible with meeting with us and a true professional all around. I would highly recommend this venue to future brides and grooms!

We originally picked FPGC because of the outdoor space and reasonable pricing. Our expectations were exceeded on both marks as well as others. It was great to have the FPGC team provide setup of our ceremony decor (Thanks, Lexi!). The food was so good - we even had people say that they don't usually expect food that good from a reception but were pleasantly surprised. The space is amazing. We had people out on the patio all night long and I don't think it would have been quite as enjoyable if not for that space. We're early birds so our reception started earlier but parking is probably better if you start later (like 6pm). The team, both Lexi and Amy, are very patient with an endless supply of questions and reasonable/undersanding when things don't go quite as planned.

Forest Park Golf Course was the perfect place for our reception. The whole space was warm and welcoming. The staff was awesome and very helpful. Amy and Lexi were great communicators throughout the whole process. They were very organized and helped us stay sane while planning our wedding. They were able to work with our wedding budget and the venue was a great value. The mixture between the indoor/outdoor space was awesome and our guests really appreciated it.

Our wedding date was changed 3 times because of COVID. We were 5 weeks away from our original date. Forest Park Golf Course went above and beyond in every single aspect with every change. They were so flexible with new restrictions as they came through daily. We were finally able to have our dream reception on September 18th.
Every guest has raved about the food, drinks, and staff. Lexi made sure every detail was perfect. And she even made sure I got a piece of cake. Amy was extremely responsive throughout every change. Lexi and Amy were both so warm and compassionate to us in our unique situation. Even when we needed to get golf carts 2 days before in order to take pictures around Forest Park since all the roads were barricaded.
We cannot imagine a more perfect place to have a reception from the area itself, the golf course, the food. Do not look anywhere else, this is the perfect venue.

We had our wedding at FPGC on 8/29/2020. Despite the craziness of the world right now with COVID - our day was absolutely PERFECT! The venue coordinator Amy was extremely helpful, attentive, and easy to work with. We had a ton of last minute changes with our guest list & Amy was flexible & accommodating to all of those changes. The venue was absolutely beautiful - we had our ceremony on the outside patio (we somehow lucked out with an overcast 80 degree day in August in STL!) and the reception inside the venue. There is a deck attached to the venue where we had a second bar & guests were able to enjoy the dual indoor/outdoor experience. We had a served dinner which was delicious - we had so many compliments on the food afterwards from our guests. I'd recommend this venue to anyone - we are so thankful we chose to have our wedding here!

I could not ask for a better venue!

We had our daughter's wedding at the golf course in early November and we were pleased with everything. From the moment we decided to have the wedding there, we felt everyone was helpful. The day of the event and before, Lexi did an amazing job of keeping everything organized and helping with keeping all calm. The food was delicious. We decided on a buffet and our guests were amazed by the fresh vegetables that were served! The salmon and roast beef was cooked the way we requested. The room dazzled with the lighting and the twinkle lights in back of the sweetheart table made for a romantic backdrop. We couldn't have asked for more and our daughter and son-in-law were happy with everything!

I can't even begin to compliment this venue and the staff enough! The space was perfect: intimate and elegant. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful day and had the wedding ceremony outside. Lexi was absolutely amazing! She started at the golf course late in our planning process and hopped right in. She put myself and my mom at ease and was there every step of the way on our big day. The food was also amazing. If you are thinking about booking here--don't wait!!!

We went thru a couple different coordinators but the 2 main members we dealt with were great. The food tasted great! There were a lot of updates done to the venue since we originally looked and it was honestly beautiful. Would advise just making sure you have everything in writing and keeping copies for yourself just in case. Overall the staff was great! We also enjoyed some golf leading up to our wedding.

We celebrated our 50th Class reunion at Forest Park. It was a smashing success with over 200 guests. The staff was great to work with. We were in the planning stage for over 18 months and I always got a quick response to any email or call I made regarding any small detail or concern I had.
On the night of the event everything went as planned. I was especially pleased that Lexi and her staff were there already setting up centerpieces and the gift table when we arrived. The food service was swift and well done. Despite open seating, they delivered all food without any issues.
We all had a wonderful time and were well taken care of.We loved being in iconic Forest park for this night of hometown memories.

During our short planning process we had three different venue contacts (which is normal in the event industry since it’s a tough job executing happily ever afters)! A few weeks before our clients’ event, in the midst of a super busy wedding seasons, we met Lexi and from day one she was super friendly, prompt in responding and accommodating to our requests all the way up to wedding day! What could have been a very stressful transition was the exact opposite and we were so grateful!

Working with McKinley at The Norman Probstein Golf Course Venue was Amazing! From the first meeting, McKinley made me (MOG), my Son, Daughter in Love and Husband feel comfortable and reassured that we were in good hands. I had a million questions and McKinley never seemed irritated or too busy! She was always calm, cool and collected! On top of all of everything, we only had 5 months to plan. McKinley gave us great referrals and helped coordinate in every way. The wedding could not have been more beautiful! Thank you to McKinley and her Wonderful Staff!

Lexie was fabulous, even assisting with helping the bride's daughter find a quiet spot to rest. The staff was very gracious, professional and attentive. The venue was beautiful, provided a very intament setting for the ceremony and perfect size for just under 200. I would totally recommend this location and Lexie who is amazing.

The planning process was very easy. We met with the event coordinator for our initial meeting, food tasting, and 3-month meeting. She was always very responsive. About a month before our wedding, a new coordinator was hired. She was also helpful and responsive. We were able to drop off decorations Thursday/Friday before which made things way easier. After our off-site ceremony, our moms and the staff set everything up. That part was also a breeze! We give FPGC 4/5 stars instead of the full 5 because dinner took a very long time to be served which cut into time for other things. With a wedding of our size (215), we expected it to take a while and even asked about it, but it still took longer than anticipated which led to frustrations among vendors and some hungry guests. Overall, we had a great experience. FPGC took a lot of the stress out of planning our wedding. Everyone had a blast, loved the views of the venue, and enjoyed the food. Thank you FPGC!

We had our wedding at Forest Park Golf course and cannot say enough good things. The ceremony space was stunning on the patio overlooking the greens and the clubhouse was the perfect space for our reception. Big enough that we didn't feel squished yet small enough that the room didn't feel empty. We had just under 200 guests at our wedding. The food was phenomenal and the wait staff was superb. However the shining star was their coordinator, McKinley. Without McKinley, this wedding would not have been possible honestly. She is very professional and extremely accommodating, she answers emails promptly and with much detail so there were never any unanswered questions. I must have emailed her 60+ times in the weeks leading up to the wedding and she never once seemed annoyed or bothered. She was gracious and helpful and is extremely detail oriented so I knew I could trust her to set up all of my decor on the big day. She put out our aisle signs, centerpieces, place cards, memory table, dessert decor, welcome sign, head table decor, guest book and more. Each piece was placed with care and the reception room looked stunning. It was truly the wedding of my dreams and I am so grateful to McKinley for helping out so much. 10 out of 10, would recommend Forest Park Golf Course for your wedding!

McKinley + the entire team at Forest Park were absolutely wonderful to work with! They helped to make our February wedding reception even more perfect than we could have ever imagined + went over and above to ensure our day went smoothly! I was so comforted to know that McKinley was there to make sure that the “behind the scenes” were taken care of and was so incredibly grateful when she went out of her way to ensure my new husband + I were doing okay throughout the evening, too! McKinley’s staff is just INCREDIBLE! Our family + friends adore “H” (Herschel) who worked the bar and everyone was raving about how delicious the food was! The service was terrific, and the venue had the warm, intimate vibe we were searching for! We are so happy that we chose to have our reception at Forest Park Probstein Clubhouse; if you are looking for the perfect venue in STL with a team who will pour their hearts into your event- look no further! I would HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you McKinley + Probstein Team, we feel so blessed to have had you as a part of our special day!

This venue was perfect for our September wedding reception!
Everything was perfect, from the initial meeting, set up of the room, service and food. The staff at FPGC was incredible, McKinley was able to see my vision and make it come to life and kept everything organized and I felt comfortable leaving the day in their hands. Which is especially hard for someone who's in the event industry.
I would highly recommend the space and the staff for any upcoming wedding or event!
Thanks so much for making our day so special!
