The Chase Park Plaza

Park from Zodiac and Starlight give you the magical vibes that take you to Central Park in NYC. If you're looking for an all inclusive event (room block, parking, ceremony, reception, brunch), just book Haseeb from The Chase. From the moment we met he saw our vision and was always available for texts, phone calls, emails and meetings. We were planning during quite a bit of uncertainty with COVID and if there is one thing I was always certain of, it was that Haseeb knew the plan and he certainly knew how to execute. We truly had the best day ever & can't thank Haseeb enough for his dedication, love, and attention to detail for our entire slew of events!

h to work with Joy on your event and the Chase you are in great hands. She's extremely kind, efficient, prepared, knows events inside and out and makes great suggestions. She is absolutely fabulous. Part of my job was coordinating television coverage of events at many venues in town and I have never worked with a coordinator better than Joy. She makes everything work and she makes it look so much easier than it is. Now the Chase, the food was amazing, our rooms were very nice, they made the extras like coordinating parking easy, the staff was kind and curious, and we were very happy. We were blown away by how good the food and the cake were. All of our guests were commenting on how good the food was and wishing they served the mushroom soup and butternut squash ravioli we had at the public restaurant cause we'd go all the time. The Chase and Joy made us feel so special the whole time through the tasting experience and everything. And their Pastry Chef has some serious cake decorating skills if you want a fancy cake.

dding guests in our room block at the Chase. Everything about our weekend blew us away. During the planning process, Joy Schmidt worked with us to take care of every little detail. The hotel itself was recently renovated and provided beautiful, updated rooms for our guests to enjoy throughout the weekend. I cannot say enough good things about the Zodiac and Starlight Rooms either - the weather was nice enough that we were even able to hold cocktail hour on the terrace outside the Zodiac Room watching the sunset over Forest Park. Throughout our reception, we received impeccable service from the entirety of the Chase's team, and multiple guests commented on the quality of the food. We are so happy with our decision to have our reception at the Chase and would highly recommend it to any STL-based couples!!

y when my bustle broke! Absolutely everything during the wedding was seamless and every detail was accounted for. We did the reception stations (which we highly recommend) and our guests are still raving about the amazing food. The taco bar had a line all night! Cannot recommend the Chase enough for weddings!

Room was great- the room is beautiful and has a great view and the food was delicious as well. The Chase is such a great hotel for guests to stay at and was super convenient since our reception was in Forest Park. The rooms are spacious and clean and the other amenities (pool, movie theatre, bar, etc.) only enhance your stay!

ace where guests could stay. (Bonus! They just finished a total remodel. It's absolutely breathtaking!) Joy Schmidt was AMAZING to work with...handling our extensive hotel room block, our ceremony arrangements--including a last minute move to a larger room in the hotel, and our arrangements for the cocktail hour/dinner/dance on the top floor of the hotel. Although very busy, she was accessible to me and to our wedding planner and was very accommodating when we had requests. We ended up adding a post wedding brunch for the morning after the wedding...it too was so beautiful and the brunch was delicious. To dress up the brunch, the hotel staff moved our wedding floral arrangements from the top floor of The Chase down to our brunch in the Empire Room. All the extra touches by Joy and her staff were soooo appreciated! The Chase was the perfect venue for my daughter's wedding...it had everything we needed for our special day including lodging and parking for our wedding party/both families/our guests, a beautiful setting for photography (inside and outside), and is centrally located in the festive Central West End area. Our guests had extremely positive comments about their stays at The Chase. Beautiful hotel, beautiful/comfy rooms, and the food in the restaurant was delicious (due to COVID, only 1 restaurant was open at the time). Speaking of food, many guests commented that the dinner served at our reception was the BEST reception food they'd ever had. Delicious! Our compliments to the chef and cooking staff...and to Joy and her team for the most memorable wedding event!

magical evening ceremony and reception. We couldn't have asked for more professional and accommodating service, not to mention the enthusiasm and excitement for our nuptials! Highly recommend this beautiful and timeless St. Louis establishment for your wedding celebrations!

ved some money for sure!) The food was outstanding and many guests commented how much they enjoyed it. Having the courtyard off the Zodiac room to see the Fall leaves in Forest Park was everything we had hoped for to give guests space. Our suites were great for the girls to get ready in with plenty of room. I can't say enough about how EASY it was to plan our reception....thanks again Joy!

off effortlessly! I did not have to worry about a thing and this venue could not have been more gorgeous!

wedding was during the peak of the Coronavirus. We had so many cancellations and Michele helped us throughout all of it. We can’t thank her and the Chase enough!

ank you to everyone who made our dreams come true.

nd no detail is forgotten. In the past 24 hours I have received so many compliments on the venue and many have expressed it was the nicest wedding they have ever been to in their life. I would agree - it was amazing!

y Michele who helped us for almost two years and made the whole process beyond easy! We absolutely loved working with Michele. She was so quick to respond to any and all of our questions regarding our reception and farewell brunch— the list goes on and on about how instrumental she was in making our reception festivities go off without a hitch. My heart burst when she sweetly delivered Michael and me our signature drinks during cocktail hour. I also want to give a shout out to Lauren who coordinates the room blocks. I emailed her about 2845 times during the wedding planning process checking in on our room block and she never once lost her patience with me! We are so thrilled that the special memories from our big day will be associated with the Chase and cannot thank all who were involved in making it the best day of our lives. The Chase really is the place to make all of your wedding day dreams come true!

on the good aspects. The Chase is an absolutely gorgeous, historic hotel with wonderful amenities and is conveniently located. The "waitstaff" (i.e. the waiters, people who work, bellhops) were phenomenal. They bent over backwards to accommodate us, were very knowledgeable about the hotel, and were extremely polite. The terrible aspects: the front desk workers and the sales department. It took us weeks to get a room block contract because no one in the sales department would answer our phone calls or emails. (We were originally considering The Chase as a reception venue but the poor response time turned us off.) That pattern continued whenever we had questions or wanted to make a change. Often, when we were able to get a response, the information was incorrect. The front desk workers were not only largely incompetent, they were down right rude. I could list endless things they did wrong but I will stick to some of the worst. 1. My veil was delivered to the hotel the night before the wedding. My mom called the front desk to get it and was told they didn't have it. Fortunately, I had an email from the vendor specifically stating she left the veil with the front desk workers with my name on it. My mom called again and the worker's response was, "I just told you, we don't have it." My mom said she would wait on the line while they looked and, after about 30 seconds of looking, they found it. We requested it be sent up to the room - they didn't do it. My dad went to the front desk the morning of the wedding to get the veil and was again told they didn't have it. He relayed the previous night's exchange and told them to look for it. Again, after about 30 seconds of actually looking, they found it. 2. They failed to hand out our welcome bags to many of our guests. 3. When my husband arrived at the hotel, he was told he needed to put a card down to enter his room. This was incorrect because his mom had already checked him in and put her card down for the room, but he did not argue. He woke up the morning of our wedding (when we weren't checking out until the following day) to find that he had not only already been charged for his room, but for each of the rooms booked by his family members. Not a pleasant way to begin your wedding day. It took several days for The Chase to refund him. It is a shame that the quality of the sales department and front desk is so poor when the rest of the staff is so great. Unfortunately, the bad outweighed the good. Working with a hotel to get a block of rooms should be very easy but The Chase made it the most stressful aspect of wedding planning. I would not recommend them to anyone.

arlight rooms and it was spectacular. The entire evening flowed so well and our guests were gushing on how easy everything flowed for them as well. We continued the party in The Chase Club downstairs which was so accommodating all weekend. Michele was the best to work with and her staff took care of every detail to make a picture perfect wedding. She was there every step of the way with us and I had zero stresses our entire wedding day. The staff and service was top notch and the food was unbelievably good. We loved every minute of our wedding weekend at The Chase and will be back to celebrate our anniversary for years to come. This venue will give you views you can't imagine and memories to last a lifetime. I am so happy we chose to use The Chase for our perfect day!

autiful. My daughter and I looked at A LOT of places so we could price and venue compare. The Chase has the same price point as every other venue. Most outside venues have you select from a catering company, usually with high school or college kids serving the food; The Chase has Executive Chefs on staff and at your event. That means they can adjust and take care of every dietary need your guests will have without missing a beat. What The Chase has that no other venue has is ambiance. All of our guests in the Zodiac/Starlight Room could not believe how beautiful and large the outdoor patios were. With views of the St. Louis Arch and Forest Park on either side, from the 11th floor, it was stunning, from the daylight view, to the starlit night. The wait staff is run like a fine tuned machine. I saw the meeting the Head Waiter had with everyone working our event, detailing every chair, and dietary need, per table, along with timelines to follow. It was quite impressive! When you make the right choice to have your event at The Chase, you get the pleasure of working with Michele, the Events Coordinator. Michele calmly guided me through every detail and was present at the reception to make sure everything ran smoothly. She had all gifts transferred to our room before the reception ended to ensure their safety, delivered the champagne flutes and the flowers we wanted to our room as well. She is priceless. When you are spending the exact same amount of money from one venue to the next, you need to keep in mind that The Chase needs no extra lights, or decorations, to make it beautiful. So that saves you money in the long run. Having several of your guests at the same location as the Reception gives you the peace of mind that they made it to bed safely, without having to chance driving. Peace of mind!

e sure we had everything we could possibly want and need. Her and our vendors were absolutely amazing and I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you for everything from the bottom hearts... Love the Harris’s...

ng with us and making sure everything at the Chase was set up to perfection (we used the Starlight/Zodiac room).

. The food was particularly delicious. No detail was left unturned. Our guests can't stop raving about how wonderful our wedding was. We would highly recommend The Chase as your wedding venue. Thank you for everything.

he wait staff were attentive and very kind. The food was incredible (can't get over the stuffed mushroom appetizer!). Our room blocks went off without a hitch, I loved that our welcome boxes came up as a flag in their check in system so all of our guests got them as intended. I have only great things to say about our experience!

at time with our friends and family here. I highly recommend Lauren and The Chase for any wedding needs!

perfect for photography, polite and generous staff always nearby to lend a helping hand, and event staff (including wedding event manager Michele Weinfeld-Johnson) that are beyond professional and ensure everything is coordinated and executed to perfection. The venue itself, in addition to the banquet/event spaces, is clean with elegant decor. The waitstaff during our event went above and beyond to accommodate special dietary requests and make all of our guests happy. We stayed in the most beautiful suite on our wedding night and could not be happier with the quality of the room from the champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, to the staff that gathered our belongings and packed them into the car the following morning. This was a perfect experience and if given the opportunity, I wouldn't change a single thing about our day and experience at The Chase Park Plaza.
