Kuhs Estate & Farm

tion to detail is immaculate and she planned the most unique and fun event we’ve ever been to. We had yard games, a petting zoo, charcuterie, a donut wall, and multiple places for people to sit and enjoy the views. From our first phone consultation to the day of our reception she made every effort to get to know us personally and exactly what we wanted to achieve. She made everything about the day even more special than I could’ve ever imagined. I can’t recommend this venue, her event planning, and her floral arrangements enough!

review, chances are you are looking for an outdoor venue that will make your wedding day exactly as you imagined. So let me tell you our story with this absolutely astonishing venue & the remarkable individuals who run the show. A family member recommended this captivating venue that was hidden away not far from his work. From the pictures alone, I was already sold. After our tour of the grounds, my wife turned to me and said, “This is it. This is where I want to get married.” We were both official sold! Kuhs is 100% the real deal. Every other venue we visited was pre-packaged, overpriced and honestly pretty generic. Before we knew it, our date was set and the planning had officially began. Elizabeth was very organized, took detailed notes about what we wanted our day to look like, had timely communication and provided informative documentation. Kuhs provided a list available items for the design the ceremony and reception. They also allowed clients to take-on additional decorations they may want to provide themselves, but encouraged less work by the clients to provide a stress free experience. The preferred vendors were truly excellent options that provided quality service! As many other couples experienced in 2020, Covid tossed a pretty big wrench in our original plan. Elizabeth worked with us every step of the way by pro-actively engaging us to create a game plan if our day was not able be what we imaged. The thought of any of her clients not getting the day they dreamed truly broke her heart. It was at this point that it became clear that Elizabeth was very passionate about the experience her clients had at Kuhs. The day of our wedding was truly perfect. Elizabeth & Nick checked in on us/our families/wedding party throughout the entire day. From the moment we arrived she made sure everyone was were they needed to be, directed the wedding party for the ceremony and reception, and popped in for no more than 10-20 seconds once or twice after dinner to make sure we were doing well. She complimented us on how lovely we looked. And gave us heads up on some things. Seriously, looking back on it I barely noticed her but vividly remembered the feeling of being welcomed and cared for the entire day. It was the perfect amount of “I am here if you need anything”, “We got this” and “You look wonderful!” Throughout the entire process, Elizabeth & Nick always made us feel welcome. Any time we had questions or concerns, they were there to help. Whatever we wanted to make of our wedding day, they supported. My wife had multiple modifications to her original decoration plans, but Elizabeth was always willing to work around and help in whatever way possible. Elizabeth always offered tips, tricks and things to think about that would have never crossed our mind. Their goal is to make your wedding everything you could ever dream of and ensure their clients are able to enjoy every minute of their special day. Elizabeth & Nick are not your typical venue hosts. This property has so much history and you better believe Elizabeth knows just about anything there is to know about it! This isn’t just a business or estate & farm, it’s truly a piece of Nick and Elizabeth that they want to share with the world.

Elizabeth, Nick, and their team truly care about their couples SO much. They put so much care and attention into every single detail of every wedding and it shows. Elizabeth took my wedding dreams and made them into a beautiful, perfect reality. My florals and event design were more beautiful than I ever imagined they would be. Every single detail was perfect. Their property is the most beautiful place (and now the most meaningful place) I’ve ever laid my eyes on. From the big oak tree, the sunken rock garden, and the overlook of the river, your eyes will not run out of aesthetically pleasing and charming places to look at. Every inch of the property is breathtakingly beautiful. Having a wedding during the Covid era was not easy, but elizabeth made it not only possible, but made it safe and perfect. Our wedding would not have been the same without Elizabeth. We are so so grateful for her and her amazing team, I truly don’t think the day would have been possible without them.

They felt like family friends we had known forever, and they welcomed us into their Kuhs family with open arms! Elizabeth is so organized and makes planning a wedding (even during Covid) an absolute dream. I never once felt stressed about the planning aspect because she was there to help guide me every step of the way. Elizabeth and Nick go above and beyond for every wedding, and ours was no exception. Every single detail was beyond what we could have even imagined. Their farm is absolutely stunning at any time of the year. Their care and support for us and everyone else is astounding. They followed the county’s covid guidelines and made sure everyone felt safe during this strange time, and they also made sure everyone felt the love and excitement of our wedding! If I had to plan another wedding during a pandemic I would plan it with them at their venue. If I had to plan a wedding not during a pandemic I would plan it with them at their venue. Bottom line, I would choose them again and again as our wedding venue. Everything was absolutely perfect that day thanks to them. Everyone who attended our wedding has not stopped talking about how breathtakingly beautiful and amazing Kuhs Farm was!! I recommend this venue to anyone and everyone looking for the most perfect, unique venue. Much love to Elizabeth, Nick, and the rest of Kuhs family!

tion to detail is amazing. My daughter's vision for her perfect day came to life... She and her Groom were blown away when they arrived the day of the wedding. Every detail was noticed by our guests from the vintage china, the floral chandeliers, the beautiful table runners, the vintage tables and chairs, the breathtaking moon-gate...just to name a few. Elizabeth is an artist and she completely captured my daughter's vision and brought it to life. This was not just a wedding...it was a magical experience for everyone in attendance. The vendors work in tandem with Elizabeth and her crew to ensure a seamless event. Elizabeth and Nick took on all the pressures of coordinating the day and the vendors so that I was able to enjoy every moment of my daughter's big day...stress free!!! When the sun set, the Estate was just a beautiful at night...the cafe lighting under the tent as well as the illuminated shrubbery around the grounds. At Kuhs Estate you are surrounded by the natural beauty of the property that overlooks the river and you work with people, Elizabeth and Nick, who clearly love what they do.

ding close to the city.

ailed it! All of our guests had such a great time and had nothing but compliments for them. To anyone considering Kuhs Farm, I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed. ❤️

ut SO much time and thought into all of the decor and details. I really didn’t know what I wanted specifically, just had a general idea. She was able to take my vague vision and turn it into a masterpiece. I HIGHLY recommend Kuhs, and am so happy that is where my husband and I chose to get married!

er intensity is out of pure love. She honestly loves her farm and she wholeheartedly loves what she does, working with people on the biggest day of their lives to help celebrate their love is something that you can tell she takes pride in. Her work and the beauty that she puts in to all that she does is nothing short of art. The venue itself is breathtaking, so beautiful in fact, that it was hard to gather my guests at times because they were all walking around taking in the views! The history and love that is ingrained in Kuhs evokes a feeling of serenity and joy. In any review I write I try to write pros/cons. The ONLY con that I can offer to this review is that it is not a venue for the penny pinching couple. The venue is outdoors and historic so everything needs to be rented. Costs add up quickly and were more than than we anticipated, more than the cost of the actual venue actually. That being said, it as all completely honest we were able to talk to the owners about any questions we had. It was also all completely worth it! Our wedding was the most beautiful day of my life and I have not stopped getting compliments from guests! If you want an unforgettable wedding, with a coordinator who cares about your wedding a much as you then you need to look no further.

Luli and saw the beautiful property there was no question that Kuhs Farm was our spot! Luli and Nick worked along side us to ensure our wedding day was EXACTLY what we wanted it to be. Every detail was perfect. On our wedding day, Luli was right there to make sure everything went as planned. As we waited for my turn to walk down that hill, I caught Luli off to the side, looking down at the ceremony crying. Before I went down the hill she gave me a big teary hug and told me how happy she was for us and how beautifully our vision had come together. She takes this personally and she reeeeeally cares. We are so grateful that we came across Kuhs Farm on The Knot and even more grateful for the friends we've gained in Luli and Nick.

ought a vision we didn’t even originally know we had, to life. The day of, everything came together so seamlessly, and she even took us aside to take the time to watch the gorgeous sunset - what a special moment she knew we needed to share. Our family and friends can’t stop commenting on the grace and professioanlism of the team and the gorgeous grounds- “best wedding ever” has been thrown out a few times! We highly reccomend and thanks Kuhs Estate and Farm for everything!!

perience. You’re not a number or name on a sheet of paper. Whatever expectation you may for your wedding they’ll multiply and blow you away. For my wife and I, the journey of planning our wedding ended up creating a life long bond and true friendship with Elizabeth and Nick. The farm won’t just be the place you’ll get married. If you allow it, Kuh’s Farm will forever be apart of your lives and story. There’s no shortage of love, happiness, and laughter that will come out of this truly best kept secret of St. Louis. So if you’re looking for a place to accommodate your wedding, then keep looking. If you’re looking for the place that will forever be apart of your life just as your bride/groom to be, then look no further. This is where your forever starts!!

friends get married in the past couple of years and have listened to their stories of last minute issues and the stress leading up to their wedding, so I was prepared to have a couple of glitches along the way. However, the day was nothing but magical and care free, and we have Elizabeth to thank for that. She is gifted in her creative design talents and constructed the 'enchanted forest' theme wedding I had always envisioned. From her floral arrangements to to set design, the place was beautiful. She and her staff handled the set up, break down, and communications with vendors to make sure the timeline ran smoothly and our only focus was on each other for the day. My husband's grandfather has limited mobility and Elizabeth's husband was there with the golf cart every time he needed to move. We had so many complements on our wedding with people saying it was the most beautiful site and design they have seen. With yard games at cocktail hour, a bonfire when it got chilly at night, to our own personal, secluded candlelight dance in the gazebo, there was something for every one. Elizabeth was able to work with our budget without sacrificing details that were important to us. Though we had our set vision of how we wanted our wedding to look, all the credit goes to Elizabeth for making it come to life and giving us a day that we will always remember as nothing less than perfect!

3 times throughout our planning process(about a year or so) . Let me tell you, Even with only meeting us about 3 times, Elizabeth nailed our wedding perfectly! She really understood our vision for our big day and even added in elements that I didn’t even know I would want until I saw them the day of my wedding! She’s got such an eye for design and does an amazing job of really getting to know her couples to execute a wedding that perfectly reflects both personalities!! I will honestly never forget the feeling of seeing my ceremony and reception area all done up and beautiful before my wedding day!! And Nick, her husband, did such a great job of executing her/our vision and making sure we and our guests were well taken care of all night! They were both so sweet, curteous, professional and fun throughout the entire process! I feel like they are family to us now! We truly couldn’t have asked for a better couple to make our vision come to life!! If you’re like us and really don’t have the time/patience to be planning a wedding all on your own, definitely consider Nick and Elizabeth at Kuhs Estate and Farm, you can truly leave almost all of it in their hands and not have to worry about a thing! Nick and Elizabeth, thanks again for everything you did for us! every moment of that day is so cherished by us and all our guests and I’ll continue to recommend y’all to everyone I know who is looking to get married in the St. Louis area! -Mr. and Mrs. Strope

, you are captivated and pulled in to a peaceful and serene setting. My mother and I worked with Luli (the owner) to make my wedding decor personal and reflective of who I am. Luli’s creativity and passion for her work were obvious every step of the way. She took a personal interest in me and my vision for my wedding, even surprising me with specialized finishing touches that were all about us! Her one-of-kind bouquet specially designed for me was the perfect complement to my bohemian wedding dress and style. My wedding guests were pleasantly impressed with how everything flowed together.... from the ceremony to the decor that overflowed into the reception tent and the Estate grounds. This venue provided a truly beautiful and unique experience for my family and friends. Kuhs Estate & Farm is a hidden gem that many do not know even exists! A truly significant historical landmark that gave meaning and substance to our wedding vows, while also providing a fun-filled relaxed atmosphere, complete with games and animal friends that brought delight to the faces of young and old alike! Our wedding will always be a special memory etched in our hearts that we will relive often in years to come. This special Estate and the owners have left a long lasting impression on us and we plan to come back every chance we get.

the staff at Kuhs Estate. Throughout the planning process, I constantly asked Elizabeth questions and she always answered me and reassured me that everything will work out - and of course it did! I also have to mention that their dedication to helping all of the animals on the farm is incredible. We are now stationed overseas and we can’t wait to come back in October to take our family pictures at Kuhs Estate!

n with some ideas of our own but no clue on how to execute them. Elizabeth not only made sure the ideas came to life but also had some great suggestions of her own. We could not have pulled it off without her or the staff. Thank you Kuhs!!!

ients arriving and was extremely helpful and kind. I'd highly recommend this location to any bride looking for a peaceful and tranquil wedding venue! Not to mention its a gem of a location for a photographer!

an our special day, and the person we wanted to plan it with. We felt well informed and comfortable throughout the entire process, from signing the contract, all the way up to our big day. Luli and her team put on the most amazing event for us - their commitment to excellence is nothing less than outstanding. We had NO IDEA what we were doing - just that we wanted a wedding that looked like our Pinterest Board - and she made it happen! No detail gets overlooked, and no task is too daunting. She's ready and willing to try anything - with the resources and knowledge to make it happen. Some of our favorite highlights were: Having the property to ourselves on wedding day! We took photos in a variety of amazing spots on the property - in the amazing sunken garden and even some with animals! The bonfire and Smore's bar (which our guests still remember 5 years later) - that was setup and staged by Luli and her team. Our Vendors - they really picked the best vendors in St. Louis - who know exactly what they're doing at the venue and operate with confidence. Flowers and event design - we worked together to make a plan that my husband and I could afford, AND that was beautiful. We were always on the same page in terms of budget and rentals and design as she is constantly updating spreadsheets and giving feedback. When it came to the big day - we got to sit back and relax and just enjoy getting married! Since my wedding at Kuhs, I have been a guest at two other weddings there. Luli and her team to continue to create incredible work for weddings that were double the size and intensity of my own - I was truly blown away. Again - the attention to detail and time spent on this labor of love is always obvious. (One of those weddings did the petting zoo and both did the sparkler departure - I'm STILL kicking myself for not doing those on our wedding day!) Our first baby is due in September and we can't wait to do our baby bump photos at the farm. The connection we have with this place and with the staff there will last a lifetime. If you don't believe me - just look at the photos!

born till now I dreamed of having a beautiful wedding. I am sooo thankful that god lead us on the path to Elizabeth ❤️❤️❤️. The wedding was even more perfect and more beautiful than in my dreams! She went above and beyond to make our inspirations a reality 😍❤️ and she treated my daughter as her own. She is a true blessing!!

we felt like the luckiest people on the planet. Elizabeth and Nick were wonderful, helpful, and so welcoming. It all went off without a hitch and we have the venue to thank for that! A beautiful backdrop, gorgeous flowers, and the most tasteful vintage touches I ever did see. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Do yourself a favor and get married here!

ng the way, Elizabeth made it so easy. I wanted a special private last dance with my husband before the night was over and we decided to do it in the gazebo. Little did I know Elizabeth went the extra mile and set up what seemed to be 100 candles for us to dance in the center of. It was the most special moment and such a special touch, I truly felt she wanted the night to be perfect for us. I highly recommend Kuhs for your special day- It is simply beautiful there and Elizabeth and her team will not let you down!

with people who you can just tell are so in love with what they do. Some vendors make you feel like just another customer, but not these two. They truly treated us like we were family. When we initially went to drop off the deposit, Elizabeth gave us a dozen farm fresh eggs from her chickens! I knew then & there that we had made the right decision to hold our wedding at Kuhs. Such a small gesture, but it meant so much. Elizabeth has a great eye for detail and truly brought my Pinterest board dream wedding to life. It was everything I dreamed it would be but even 10x more! She knows the property inside & out and made great suggestions throughout the planning process & on the day of. We have been busy the last couple days replying to our guests who absolutely raved about the property, the decor, all of the details, the fun lawn games, & the hospitality of Elizabeth & Nick. I can't imagine us having had our special day anywhere else.

y love this place and how much they love being apart of couples' special day. Kuhs farm is full of magic everywhere you look. It sounds corny, but I promise the second you get out of the car and look around you believe it's true. I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else.

to do things a certain way, yet came to us with different ideas and options that we were free to take or leave. As someone who had a lot of her plate during wedding planning, it was so helpful to have someone who was calm (even when things weren't working out as planned), accommodating, and thoughtful. The touches they put on events are above and beyond. I can't say enough nice things about Elizabeth and my experience with Kuh's.
