The Thaxton

wrong with this one.

ails in the speakeasy downstairs. Kimberly was excellent to work with in planning and executing the event. She pays attention to each detail to make sure the event is flawless. The bartenders were professional and friendly and the cocktails were delicious. I can't thank The Thaxton enough for a phenomenal evening!

d we will definitely be back for the Speakeasy!

e looking for a really cool place to hold a small wedding or special event, we highly recommend considering The Thaxton! Our guests are still talking about how great great the wedding was!

from tacky to elegant. Beautiful art deco paintings line the walls, beautiful colorful lights that clash with all the dark features to bring a super unique and elegant vibe to your wedding. And a bonus- you don’t even have to worry about decor! The Thaxton is so beautiful that all we brought were table numbers and flowers. Every single guest was in awe of this venue. They talked about it literally all night! They’re still talking about it weeks later! On top of the venue being absolutely stunning, owner Kim is everything a bride needs on her wedding day. She helped me through multiple stressful panic attack moments and coordinated our whole day perfectly. She was super communicative during the whole process and answered all of my millions of questions thoughtfully. The few problems we ran into Kim fixed them right away and gave me very little time to stress about them. Even though I think I blacked out most of the day, walking through the doors to the Thaxton and down the aisle is something I’ll never forget. Planning a wedding isn’t easy, but Kim sure does her best to try to make it that way. The Thaxton is definitely the perfect option for having a smaller wedding with a classy vibe. 10/10, would get married here all over again! Thank you Kim & everyone at the Thaxton! Ben & Kylie Martin

s should be the top of your list. All the murals are hand-painted by Mad Dog, one of the employees there who has renovated the building and made it what it looks like today. Kimberly was very helpful and communicative throughout, from booking through to the end. On the day everything went smoothly and without issues, certainly owing to the staff's experience with doing receptions many times (they helped with a lot of small things like where to place the guest book and whatnot). I definitely recommend this venue!

and ran just as planned thanks to Kimberly and Mad Dog. I would recommend The Thaxton for anyone’s wedding ceremony/reception! It’s a beautiful venue and drinks are fantastic!

ponsive to our questions during the planning process. On the day of, Kim and Mad Dog made sure everything ran smoothly so we could just enjoy the day, even coordinating through some snafus with another vendor. And of course the beauty of the space can't be beat!! Truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding was booking the Thaxton, 10/10 would recommend.

of, and really coordinated the timeline of events so that we could just relax and enjoy the night. It is such a beautiful venue, and guests loved the 1920s vibe. Would definitely host future events here!

hing. Kim was so helpful and responsive to my emails/questions. Kim, Mad Dog and the rest of their team really helped our day go smooth! Highly recommend!

meeting. Their vendors they work with were also great choices to eat and work with. Plus the venue is gorgeous, has elevator access and plenty of room for dancing, as well as quiet time. Truly made for a wonderful night.

. The ceremony was small, on their balcony/ mezzanine level overlooking the grand hall. And the reception followed on three floors complete with two bars. If you want a seamless, low stress timeline, this is the place. The owner, Kim, and the “groundskeeper,” Mad Dog, have such an attention to detail. They will help you with things you didn’t even take into consideration. And they will guide you every step of the way. 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone!

redible. We rented out the 3 floors , got pizza's & cookies, had incredible staff on all 3 floors.. a dj.. a photographer.. it was simply the best. Could not recommend Kimberly or her team at the Thaxton enough -- the drinks were delicious, the space was beautiful and everyone was on time! + Kimberly response time is second to none. Thank you so much

ns and was always willing to do more.

’s such a relief when you know the biggest part of your biggest day is in the hands of an absolute professional. If Kim comes off a little too calm, it’s because you’re panicking about something she’s handled a thousand times before. At no point did we feel uncertain, abandoned, or taken advantage of. We didn’t even have to hire a wedding planner because everything was so conveniently put together. Combine all of that incredible customer service with what is possibly the most beautiful small wedding venue in St. Louis, and you’re bound to have the time of your life. It’s been 3 months and our wedding guests are still talking about how beautiful the ceremony was.

venue we visited before selecting. We walked in and instantly fell in love. The Thaxton is more of an experience for your guests than a wedding venue. It is so charming and really is a hidden gem in the STL area. All of our guests are still raving over how much they loved the venue. It is great for large or small parties, there are several floors which made it comfortable for our 100 guests. Kim and Maddog were so helpful in the planning process and made sure the day went smoothly and my husband and I were completely taken care of. They even helped with setup and cleanup. I had a million questions and Kim took the time to explain everything to me, including drawing out a diagram of the seating arrangement. I seriously cannot recommend The Thaxton enough! THANK YOU for giving us our dream wedding day!!

essly during the reception! Would highly recommend for your wedding!!

ly nice surprise was her handy checklist she used to make sure we didn't miss anything. Mad Dog was simply a delight. He took care of me and my bridal party and kept us in the loop of everything that happened on the big day.

for the wedding and made it better with their expertise. The staff was more than accommodating and made our guests feel very at ease. Our guests loved the venue so much that we have had multiple people all if they can host regular parties. We cannot say enough good things about the Thaxton, Kim, and Maddog!

is simply gorgeous. Our original date was postponed multiple times due to the pandemic. Each time, Kim approached us with compassion and understanding. We will never be able to thank her enough for the kindness she showed to us over the course of the last year. I heard awful stories from friends who were in similar situations and felt even more grateful that we chose The Thaxton as our venue. Perhaps my favorite part of The Thaxton (other than Kim) is that it is so unique. Other locations required us to bring in countless decorations and pieces of entertainment. The Thaxton is so beautiful and unique that it required very little decor. We honestly could have gotten away with bringing nothing. Every single picture that was taken by someone, even on their cell phones, looks like a work of art. The drinks at our party were amazing. A month later, people are still commenting on how wonderful the venue was for the event. Multiple people noted that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The price was extremely affordable. I am not quite sure how they offer all that they do for such a low price point. If you are looking for an event space that is unique, definitely choose The Thaxton. If you are looking for an event space that is affordable, choose The Thaxton. If you are looking to work with a place that treats you more like family than a checkbook, choose The Thaxton.

helped the night go smoothly. They were there for both set up and break down at the end of the night. The building was beautiful, and it was a perfect night. I definitely recommend the Thaxton for your wedding. Especially if you are looking for something unique but still classy.

be with ease, they were patient and more than accommodating, and they just added a special touch of kindness and empathy that I don’t know we would have found anywhere else! They made everything flow and kept us up to date and stayed in contact throughout even the year leading up to our big day! Thank you so much to the coordinators and entire staff at the Thaxton!

ption at this venue and they handled the room transition 100% and did it flawlessly. Communication throughout the entire process was very timely, as well. We would definitely pick The Thaxton again if we had to do it all over!

cess. They have a lot of experience and will make recommendations based on that experience, but ultimately will make anything work that a bride and groom want to happen.

u book The Thaxton, you are renting the entire space and you get it all for the party. I love it because it is not just an open room like most wedding venues. No other venue we looked at in STL could even come close to comparing in our opinion. Talk to Kim or Mad Dog. You will not regret checking out The Thaxton!!

They were a pleasure to work with!

n helped to make everything stress free! Peter, Kim, Mad Dog, and all the other staff were hands down AMAZING. Everything worked like a well oiled machine. We rolled with the roaring 20's theme for all details of the wedding. All of my guests were stunned with the beauty of the venue, and many said it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Kim made sure the ceremony was timed perfectly, and Mad Dog treated us like celebrities all night. They suggested special shots for the photographers and made sure our family was 'extra' well taken care of. My only complaint is that our wedding is over and I can't hit rewind! Please, if you are considering The Thaxton, just stop looking elsewhere and book it. It was the best decision of my wedding and I am so grateful we were able to have our wedding here!

e space was beautiful, Mad Dog was an incredible emcee and we could not have asked for a better night. He even made sure we sat down to have dinner and helped us escape a few times in the private elevator. Every guest enjoyed the moonshine cocktails and brought their dancing shoes. The only sad thing is that such an amazing night is behind us...but it just means we'll have to come back =) Thank you guys again for everything before, during and even following up after the event.

with. Received so many compliments from our guests.

stunning and unique! Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had, it truly was a memorable night for everyone.

lus, it is an amazingly gorgeous venue. The pictures we took there are unbelievable!

he man! And I highly recommend DJ Uptown for this venue as well. You will not find a more gorgeous and well run venue with the most amazing staff!!

ave had. His knowledge and expertise created a sense of calm during the planning process and I was confident in him and the services The Thaxton provides! Peter and Kim provided an amazing atmosphere on the day of that was fun and relaxed. My guests were complimenting not only how beautiful and unique the venue was, but how attentive and wonderful all the staff were! I can't thank them enough for how wonderful everything turned out!!!!

Peter, Mad Dog and Kim answered every question, considered every detail, and guided us through the evening. The venue itself was unique, beautiful, clean and accessible to everyone in our family (even the older and younger members). As someone who wasn't really into the whole "wedding thing", the Thaxton was perfect as little decor was needed due to the immense beauty of the building. In addition, minimal planning was necessary due to Mad Dog's excellent schedule. Highly recommended!

magical place for such a big life event. Peter and Mad Dog were so easy to work with and helped me with every request during planning. They always responded promptly and worked with me when I had a special request. My husband and I like to have a good time, so they made sure to stick to our timeline in order to get to the dance floor on time. The Thaxton's downstairs speakeasy was perfect for dancing the night away, and all of the bars scattered around the event were perfect for our large crowd. Mad Dog made sure that we were taken up and down on the elevator to help me with my dress. For the bride and groom who wants an classy St. Louis wedding that is actually fun and not uptight...the Thaxton is the way to go. Our guests said it was the best wedding venue they had ever seen. The Thaxton's prices are also so reasonable compared to other venues in St. Louis that don't even hold a candle to this place. Do yourself a favor and tour this place for your wedding...you will not be disappointed. Also, our wedding picture are even more gorgeous with the 1920's art decor art behind us, you couldn't pay for that type of backdrop.

haxton. During the planning phase, I was blown away with how organized Peter (the owner) was. He knew exactly how our evening would flow the best and made great suggestions based on our needs. He was also always extremely responsive and helpful via email during this time. He was present to lead our rehearsal at the venue the day before the event, which as a nervous bride, put my mind at ease that everything was under control. On the day, we were able to access the venue early to take photographs, which was ideal due to our timeline. Throughout the evening him and his staff, notably Mad Dog, lead the evening flawlessly. Mad Dog's attention to detail was remarkable, including ensuring my husband and I were happy and being taken care of throughout the evening. We received nothing but praise from our guests on their experience at our event. The venue is absolutely unique and gorgeous. Our photos came out amazing. I could not be more happy with our experience here and would absolutely recommend this venue for not only weddings, but any larger event. We cannot begin to express our thanks to the venue staff!

redibly accommodating in letting us see the space multiple times and coordinating with our vendors. Peter and Mr. Mad Dog ran the event flawlessly--we didn't have to worry about ANYTHING during the night, and it all flowed perfectly. The space was spectacular, all of our guests loved it, and we could not be happier with our choice.

uilding you will instantly fall in the love with the charm!

wedding venue with different levels and spaces. It's so well decorated you don't really need to worry about additional decor.

e Prohibition era feel. He went above and beyond to make this night one our friends still keep talking about! Peter was prompt to respond to our needs, took a great deal of time to meet with us in person about details, and truly invested himself into our experience. I would HIGHLY recommend the Thaxton for any special event, rehearsal dinner, or wedding reception. You will not be sorry. I wish I could relive our experience 100 times over again! Peter and his staff are amazing!

d the event and act quickly and appropriately to fill any roll that needed to be filled. When the guest book polaroid camera stopped working, Peter filled in to make sure the job was done. I would be talking with a group of people for a long period of time, and he was watching for when I needed more drinks, and would come up and ask what I needed. They were also very intuitive when it comes to... interesting family dynamics. He is 110% about the hapiness of the bride and groom, and those come first - however, he's a master at making people feel calm and comfortable and can make awkward situations happy situations. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and unforgettable. We had the best night and didn't want to leave. There was the one downside to the night ; it had to end! Bottom line, if you are reading this and considering The Thaxton - just go for it. You will have the best night of your life.

er venues. If the opulence of the building isn't enticing enough, just wait until you meet Peter, Kim, or Mad Dog! Peter always replied to my emails within a day...sometimes within minutes! He constantly reassured me how beautiful my reception would be, and he kept me stress free! During the reception, Mad Dog was our guide. He let us know what to do next and when...and thank god because otherwise I would have been so lost! All of my guests loved him, too. The Thaxton is a seriously unique package, and you will not regret celebrating your wedding here!

ceptional. From the day we first looked at the venue they were always available to answer any question no matter if it was a big issue or small. The day of our wedding could not have gone smoother and Justin & I did not have to worry about a thing during the event because they had everything taken care of. Many of our guests were from out of town and have attended several weddings, and they said this was the best wedding they have ever been to! I highly recommend DJ Uptown, he had people on the dance floor all night and played anything we wanted!! I am SO happy we chose the Thaxton for our special day and I can't even imagine having it anywhere else. Thank you so much for making the day so wonderful!!

d. We knew we wanted a spot that would accommodate the ceremony and reception all in one, that also had availability to do food stations. Peter had a vision for us immediately - he drew a mock up floor plan, walked us through the schedule for the evening, told us how the dance floor would work - and this was all on our first tour! From then until the day of, he answered my countless question and gave me comfort in our decisions. On our wedding day, Peter and Kim collaborated with my vendors to turn the facility into the most magical place we could imagine. The ceremony was warm, romantic and whimsical. They flipped to the reception, and the room was buzzing with excitement from all our guests. I can't even imagine how many times I had guests come up to us and compliment the venue. We even heard that it was the most beautiful wedding some had ever attended. To top it all off, Mr. Mad Dog swept us off our feet. He was attentive to us, provided us guidance throughout the night for where we should be, and even brought us drinks when we needed them. He was touched by our vows, and we could tell from the start that our night truly mattered to him. The Thaxton turned our dreams into reality. If we could live in that moment forever, we would. There is not one thing we would change, and we owe it all to Peter, Kim and Mad Dog!!
