WOW! We had our wedding and reception here on May 14, 2016. Our ceremony was in the Chouteau Room, followed by cocktails and appetizers in the Napoleon and Lafayette rooms, and ended in the ballroom for the reception. Ann Jones was our wedding coordinator, and she was ON IT! She made my life so easy, and responded to my many emails quickly. She was in constant communication with us, and was willing to work with us on our budget. The actual day of the wedding, Linda and Ann were both on site to help us, and I could not give them enough credit for everything they did. They seemed to know what I needed before I did, which was a welcome relief in the chaos of the day. My entire wedding party, as well as both sets of parents, were all floored with the amount of attention that was given to us.
The ceremony spot was beautiful. We were married in the afternoon, so the sun was shining in, but the blinds were closed so our guests weren't blinded. Ann had everything set up exactly to my specifications, which was a relief.
The appetizers we chose for the cocktail hour were the BBQ bacon wrapped shrimp, chicken and waffle bites, and the chicken tortilla cups. People were amazed at the food and staff before the reception even started. Food was hot and drinks were cold. The bartenders made the drinks perfectly... not light, but not too stiff either.
The reception could not have been more perfect. When we entered the reception, Linda was kind enough to make sure that the head table had a plate of appetizers waiting for us (we were taking pictures during that time). For our meal choices, we had Chicken Herb de Provence, Grilled flatiron steak, and the stuffed portobello. Our sides were the browned butter mashed potatoes and asparagus. The wedding party got the steak, and we had requested that it be prepared medium. I always get nervous ordering steak in a public place because they tend to miss the medium mark completely, but I was proved wrong here. Everyone raved about the food, and I was thrilled with how delicious everything was. The chef even came out of the kitchen to thank us for choosing Moulin, which I thought was a great touch.
At one point during the reception, my husband and I both wanted Red Bulls, but there was none in the building. We were perfectly fine and were going to choose something else, but Linda left the building and went to the gas station down the street to make sure that we got what we wanted. If that isn't going above and beyond, I don't know what is! They even loaded up my parents' car at the end of the night so my parents wouldn't have to worry about it.
I cannot say enough great things about this venue. The views were gorgeous, and the food was impeccable. If you choose this venue for your reception, ceremony, or both, you will NOT be disappointed!
