Forest Park Golf Course

elpful. Top knotch event site!

erything was just as we wanted it. The staff are also excellent! We had two event coordinators working with us, and they both did an amazing job! They responded to all our questions right away, and made sure that everything was just as we wanted it. The bartenders and waiters were also very professional and friendly. They coordinated with all our vendors so that we didn't have to worry about anything. Finally, the food was delicious! This venue really checked all of our boxes and gave us exactly the wedding we wanted. I am so glad we chose them!

ging outside lights make an outstanding background in your pictures. Just beautiful! If we had it to do over again, there is nothing we would change. So happy with how it turned out!

ble to enjoy the day.

ght of our reception, helping with any questions the guest might have. The food was great and prepared perfectly. Everyone has commented on how great the food was. If you are looking for a beautiful event space, this is your place.

mation for the dj, cake, photographer, seating charts, names in alphabetical order, etc and Liz put up with all of my organization. :) I swear I e-mailed her a few times a week the month leading up the wedding and she was always on top of it getting back to me. She would look over all of my ideas and point out areas that might not work and help me find solutions. She helped me customize the menu and make sure that it all fit into my budget. She was always super nice to work with and I couldnt have asked for a better coordinator. The location is absolutely amazing as well. The course has some wonderful photo locations and the terrace/walkway is gorgeous at night with the twinkle lights. Definitely a location to check out if you are looking for a venue.

icking and coming together. It all went downhill when in the middle they changed our wedding coordinator on us. Our first coordinator Amy was awesome and very accommodating of what we wanted in order to create our dream wedding. However due to the wedding rush we got changed to Liz. This was the worst thing that could have happened. She was very rude the entire time and spoke to me and my wife with an attitude. It wasn’t until our rush week that her true colors really stared to show. She attempted to charge us over $1000.00 3 days before the wedding for a pricing mistake she made. Then instead of owning up to the mistake she attempted to blame us for her own miscalculation. Talk about stress and anxiety! We had to call her out and threaten to go over her head to get her to honor the initial price provided. Unfortunately, the problems we had did not end there. During the rehearsal for the wedding despite being informed time and time again that Liz would be there to help us walk through the ceremony timeline Liz was no where to be seen and we were stuck outside with not even the lights left on. This was very disappointing as we as a group were very confused. We do not perform weddings day in and day out. This goes on to the day of the wedding where she was asking me, my wife, and the entire bridal party where people are suppose to be. If she was at the rehearsal as promised she would have known where everyone was suppose to be and how we wanted everyone to walk down. This caused even more stress on my wife which is unnecessary for a bride who has enough to deal with the day of her wedding. Liz had no concern for anything that we wanted only the timeline of events. She was very rude to everyone the entire day. She made promises that were not honored during our big day and was continually disrespectful to myself, my wife, our bridal party, and even our parents to the extent that she went up to the mother of the bride and told her that we were rude because the bridal party was running late taking photo’s. While she may do wedding’s every weekend we do not and wanted to make sure that we captured our day and did not miss out on any photo opportunities as we only get one shot at a perfect weeding. The list of stressful and immature actions performed by Liz goes on and on. If you want lots of stress and to be spoken to like a child then this is the place for you. I recommend taking your money elsewhere as there are much better places to have your special day that will give you the respect you deserve and help you fulfill your dream wedding. If you do make the horrible decision to get married her stay away from Liz.

would possibly happen. As far as affordability and quality I would recommend this place to anyone looking to host a party. The venue was beautiful. Our guest really enjoyed the food. They even made sure that I (the bride) got a special meal the day of. We had a July 3rd reception which fell right during Fair St. Louis. When that first came up Amy assured us that there would be no issues that day. She was right. With the exception of our videographer, which was at no fault of the staff at the venue, our vendors had no issue getting into the venue. I wish I could relive our reception every weekend. Thank you for making our special day amazing!!

delivered. The food was delicious, ambiance beautiful, staff were nice and energetic! The packages available are very budget friendly- I can't believe I was so blessed to find this venue. This venue is so wonderful, I just had a friend book it for her wedding next year!

e for a wedding. The staff couldn't have been more helpful or fun during the night. Amy and Liz help so much during the entire process! Take their suggestions - even if you're unsure, they are always spot on! Everything from the ceremony to the reception was just flawless and perfect! The food was delicious! I've gotten so many compliments on the day!

lighting was just right for our evening wedding. The main room was set up beautifully, great sized dance floor, and the outdoor terrace was perfect for our guests! The food is absolutely amazing, and we thoroughly enjoyed our tasting prior to the wedding! The Clubhouse truly set the stage for our elegant wedding!! We are forever grateful to them!

tiful - but it did offer everything I wanted for the most reasonable price I could find. I agree with the other commenter that the tastings aren't very accomadating. Most of my bride friends got private tastings of entiree menus, so I was expecting that. However, they do group tastings of just a few dishes. BUT everything we tasted was great and gave me enough confidence that whatever I picked on the menu would be good (it was!). They also worked to make a delicious meal for vegan and vegetarians the day of. Very pleased with their work! They made the day lovely.

r any of their packages to meet your price range. Nikki, catering events coordinator, is there for you every step of the way! What they tell you is what happens; there were no hidden fees or anything like that. The food is AMAZING! We had a plated dinner with cod, chicken piccatta, and cheese manicotti as the choices. My husband had the cod, which was a generous portion, and he said it was cooked to perfection. I had the chicken piccatta and it was moist and flavorful. They cook the food right there, so you don't have to worry about a caterer cooking food at another location and transporting it in. Their chef knows what he's doing! The venue is just gorgeous! We had simple decor because their venue is just so gorgeous. The floor to ceiling windows will go with a simple decor or a more elegant arrangement. The dance floor was the perfect size for our 200+ guests. It looked small at first, but that was actually deceiving. Once everyone got out there it was perfect!

the Chef!

iful locations in Forest Park for pictures was also a huge plus (we took pictures at the waterfall across the street and at the Grand Basin--definitely a good way to go if you're pressed for time in your pictures as we were). They did a great job of working with us when a golf tournament was scheduled the day of our wedding, and ended up moving the tournament, which was a huge relief. They were also very accommodating when we wanted to leave all of the parts of our centerpieces there a few days before the reception to be set up that day. They were very helpful about setting things up and storing everything for us until the day of. We got a lot of compliments on the food overall (see other comments below) and I definitely enjoyed it. Their staff were also very nice about letting us stay a bit later in the evening after our event had officially ended as people were saying goodbye (my husband and I moved internationally right after our wedding so there were a lot of goodbyes going on), and really let us stay for almost a whole hour after the event was over with no complaints or trying to move us along, which was wonderful. Downsides: they were a bit unwilling to work with us on getting a tasting (apparently they usually do one per year and expect their potential clients to all come at once). They were willing to let us share a tasting date with another client (no big deal) but asked us which of the dinner options we would like to taste (the point of a tasting is to be able to taste several options and choose one, right?). They were also fairly difficult about working with one of my bridesmaids who has severe food allergies. Normally she just goes for the vegetarian/vegan option, but their vegetarian option included cheese (one of the things she's allergic to), and they told her she could bring her own food that they would heat up. This was disappointing for how much we paid for food. There were also some mix-ups with delivering the right types of meals to the right people, despite the labeled name cards that I made per their instructions (for instance, my vegetarian cousins got kids' meals instead). Lastly, they were unwilling to serve drinks to the bridal party during dinner. The bar is closed during dinner (we were aware of this), but we had been assured that they could put drinks on the head table for the bridal party since we were taking pictures during the cocktail hour and wouldn't have had a chance to get a drink before the bar closed. They served me but refused to serve my bridesmaids, which was a little disappointing. Again, overall, everything was completely wonderful. The small hitches are things that I assume happens at all weddings and if these are the biggest problems at your wedding, you're doing fine. Many of these things probably went unnoticed by most except the wedding party, my parents, and me.

her took advantage of that or are not very attentive with all of their weddings. It was very nice that Hershell stepped up to the plate for them. :)

he most part, the other staff was helpful, but we did have a couple of misscommunications throughout the process. On the other hand though, the staff made sure it was all fixed, and the actual day was perfect! I would reccommend this venue to my friends overall.

ice and by the time I received the invoice (which was the first time I received any invoice at all) and by this time I was told that it was too late to make any changes. Also, I was supposed to get champagne for the head table which I never received. Food was good, just a little overpriced.

ore picture perfect venue.

place!
