The Venue at Maison du Lac

about this venue (: 

e. Our guest loved the outdoor patio. They have great options for food vendors as well. Any staff we worked with was also amazing, everyone was so attentive and kind. They really want you and your guests to have a great time there.

sy to work with. Quick to respond to emails with questions and such. The contract was very detailed and clear to understand with all costs separated out to the last detail which I really appreciated. The venue itself is gorgeous and so well maintained. The "boys" all enjoyed fishing in the afternoon when the "girls" were getting ready. I would highly recommend Maison Du Lac!!!

for the guys and a bridal suite for the girls. Jessie was our wedding coordinator from the venue and she is amazing! Very sweet and patient and good at what she does! She helped a lot throughout everything building up to the wedding and was always there checking up on everything the day of making sure it went smoothly. If you’re looking for a venue that is not only beautiful but has kind and professional employees and is on top of everything this is the one! The venue is affordable compared to a lot of venues which is really nice considering how expensive things can get! They have a few different caters that are really good, we did pasta house and it was great! They also let you do your own decor and set up or you can pay someone to do it which is nice as well! All in all 20/10 definitely recommend!

ruly great at what they do.

ing was and how much fun they had. The llama addition was a big hit with adults and children!!

h Jessie! She was quick to reply to any questions I sent her way and she was thorough with helping us work out the details of the big day. Along with this, we were “lucky” enough to be getting married on a weekend where flooding was a concern for the first time in venue history. Jessie and the venue did everything in their power to help us with this situation and we were very thankful for this during such a stressful time. We also loved the venue itself. There were several beautiful spaces and the decorations closet available was super convenient as well. The bridal suite was convenient to have on the property to get ready in, and the barn was a beautiful space to host the ceremony. I would recommend this venue and especially Jessie over and over again. 

esque and charming. The staff work hard and coordinate well with all the vendors who come on site. It was the best and biggest party we've ever hosted. Thanks to Jessie and Scott for their professionalism and sweet personalities.

perty, both indoors and outdoors. The Venue manager, Jessie is a superstar! She was always very responsive, friendly, and super helpful. She was basically my lifeline throughout the whole wedding planning process. The rest of the venue staff was also fantastic on the wedding day! Booking Maison du Lac was absolutely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

ourselves. Relatively, this venue is very cheap compared to others we looked at (I'm not sure how the price compares two years later). Looking back at old emails, I see they even gave us $1000 discount. Where the venue gets extremely overpriced is they make you choose from specific caterers (in 2023 there were 5 options) that charge astronomical amounts. We were having a larger wedding (150 people) and did not have the budget for catering (the cheapest one estimated over $5000 for tacos in 2023). We even considered the idea of having only appetizers and desserts so everything could be more cost effective for us and the venue told us they would advise against that, so we were pressured into serving food. We had many issues with them before and during the wedding. I repeatedly told them most of our guests will not be drinking alcohol at the wedding. They kept telling me I was required to purchase the larger alcohol package due to the size of our wedding. Most of our family members do not drink, but they insisted they may drink "since it is a special occasion". Even on the day of our wedding they found my husband before the ceremony and told him they were nervous they did not have enough alcohol on hand for 150 people and he had to remind them that around 50-75 people would be drinking. In addition, we bought sodas for our families and had cleared this with them before the wedding. This way, we could provide a free drink option since we had a cash bar. The day of the wedding we were told we could no longer provide sodas that the cash bar was selling because it would compete with their business, so the money we spent on the soda for our family was wasted because of their lack of communication. Another problem we had was the barn door was locked as we walked back down the aisle as husband and wife. We were embarrassed as we tried to open it in front of our family members and it would not open. It was not communicated to us that we would be walking back a different way since we walked down the aisle through the barn doors. Due to our limited budget, I feel as if we were not treated as they treat their other couples. Other couples got cute Instagram posts about how they met and their wedding photos posted to the Maison du Lac page. While this venue may seem cheap, they are not willing to work with a small budget. We were only engaged for a few months, and I think they only agreed to host our wedding because they knew the date was not going to be filled and it is better to get some money than have an empty weekend. The grounds are so beautiful and make wonderful wedding photos, but if you're on a budget you will probably have a more stress-free wedding somewhere else. If I could redo my wedding, I would not get married here because they try to tell you what your wedding should look like. Expect to pay easily over $10,000 here for venue rental, catered food (through one of their required caterers), and bar. I wish they would have told us in the beginning they could not accommodate our needs and it would have saved us a lot of stress.

rocess is very easy and quick with responses. There were more rules and processes we had to follow that were not brought up when we booked the venue, but we were still able to enjoy the day.

nd easy! They worked with me through the chaos and made my day so beautiful and perfect!!

er team were fantastic. They were so professional, kind and helpful. From the beginning to the end, Jessie was very quick to respond to any questions I had and was very detailed about anything she needed me to provide. This helped make my planning process smooth and stress-free! My wedding day was an absolute dream! I cannot recommend MDL enough!!

sional, and catered to our every need. We really appreciated how quickly they responded to all of our questions, and how readily available they were to chat with us at any point in the year between when we signed our contract and had our wedding. They were also experienced with many of the vendors that we used, and were therefore able to act as a liaison for us in many regards. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and highly recommend this venue to any couple looking to get married in or around St. Louis.

mmer. We looked at probably 20+ other venues and this was by far the best price. They communicated promptly each time we reached out to them, were reliable with any questions we had, and seemed like people we would simply enjoy being around. The tour went smoothly (obviously the place was top tier) and after we left we only got more excited. They have a list of caterers that we had to choose from for dinner and we chose SugarFire - if you like BBQ then I highly recommend it. All in all our wedding day was taken care of to every degree we could have asked for and all of our guests liked the venue as well. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

. They were careful to make sure my husband and I didn't see each other the day of since we didn’t do a first look which meant a lot to us. The venue itself is breathtaking, especially for a fall wedding, but we felt like their thoughtfulness really put this place over the top. Leading up to the wedding they were very clear communicating all of the details and keeping us on track with what we needed to make the day run smoothly.

eautiful. The venue in its entirety was amazing. The bridal room and the grooms cabin were fun and comfortable to get ready in. The venue staff was amazing and accommodating. Jessie was very quick to answer any questions we had. The staff helped make our wedding go seamlessly and we had an absolute perfect wedding.

rfectly. Jessie was a phenomenal help day of, as well as, throughout the entire process. The promptness of replies, and thoughtfulness in all the details helped keep our stress levels low. We could not recommend this venue enough!!

ground. Everything you need is right there, so we were able to do the ceremony and reception in one place and also use the bridal and groom’s suite to get ready before the wedding. Shauna was our day of coordinator and she was great in helping everything run smoothly as well as both of the property managers. They have a long list of items you can use for decorating which is an awesome addition and the llamas is an awesome touch as well! Throughout the wedding planning process, Jessica was always super quick to respond to any questions and gave so many suggestions when we were unsure of something. This was really a great venue and we couldn’t be happier with how our wedding turned out!

e is beautiful -every single spot is a beautiful place for pictures. Jessie and the rest of the MDL team are the kindest vendors -so sweet, accommodating, and easy to work with. They helped make our day a dream! We couldn’t recommend them enough!!

ed this venue! You won't regret the beautiful landscape and private venue.

really great for the price. The venue is absolutely beautiful and was perfect for our photos, ceremony, and reception. Jessie, the venue coordinator, was fantastic—so helpful and always on top of things. Planning was a breeze with her, and her communication was great throughout the process. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect wedding spot. Totally worth it!

ul in all the planning months. The day was very hot and it should be noted that only the one room in the bridal suite is air conditioned and the guys cabin need to be turned way down to not be warm. It is difficult to get all of your stuff out of the getting ready space before going to the ceremony so have a plan and possibly “bags” to organize the stuff for later in the night. There are many spots for great photos. The reception space was cool, roomy and perfect for our 150 size wedding.

r a more beautiful day at Maison Du Lac. Jessie was so organized and flexible with us when we communicated which made the planning process very smooth. The bridal and groomsman suites were so much fun! The ceremony church was perfect and fit everyone comfortably, and the reception space was the hosted the most amazing party! We were able to take so many on site pictures from start to finish. The only criticism I have was that I wish we could've stayed in the venue longer as I never wanted the night to end. Would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have the most perfect space for their wedding!

ntastic, as well!

I would recommend this venue to anyone who was having a wedding. the campus was stunning. We can't go wrong with an indoor and outdoor space!!

l! The property is gorgeous and so well kept! We appreciate everything they did for us in making our wedding the best day ever!

amas for pictures! And the beautiful facility for the bridal party to prepare for the day was so nice.

ple ceremony locations to choose from. The venue is well maintained, from the bridal and groom suites to the reception space and outdoor barn. The exterior grounds are meticulously maintained so that couples are able to enjoy the beautiful lake views and luscious tree lines that border the property. The catering options for the venue are wonderful as well. Couples have the option to choose from a variety of caterers and menu options spanning a variety of budgets. From a vendor perspective, Jessie, the venue manager, is fabulous! She has great energy and passion for her work and is proactive in helping couples finalize all of their day-of details like floor plans and vendor arrival times. As a wedding planner, I felt confident working with Jessie and appreciated her above and beyond work ethic and willingness to assist in any way needed. I look forward to working with her again!

lamas are an excellent feature! Our day would not be what it was without this fabulous place and Jessie! I highly recommend taking the time to meet Jessie and tour this beautiful place!

then was available throughout the day to help coordinate. She was there to keep us on schedule, get everyone in place, and ensure we had everything we needed. Having a smaller wedding (55 people), I was a little concerned about the reception space feeling too large or empty. We only had 7 tables (about 8 people each), but Jessie spaced the tables and decor around to feel well balanced and fill the room. The suites were well equipped for getting ready and beautiful in themselves. Every angle of the grounds was gorgeous and well kept. Peaceful and not able to hear/see the road the venue is off of. Plenty of parking with huge lot and extra lot for wedding party. The llamas were adorable and a huge hit with guests and made for great photos. Recommend!

l of our day-of details, and we could not have done it without her. We also loved how streamlined the process was with Ces & Judy's as our caterers at their own venue. We had the best day of our lives at MDL!

s plenty of photo op spots. The llamas just add a special touch and all the guests love them!

pretty decoration options which saved us a lot of money and stress! And of course, the llamas were one of our favorite parts of the day!

perfect. Jessie along with other staff members to make sure this day was perfect. Jessie listened to our request and orchestrated a perfect event. Above and beyond what you can even imagine. From advice to execution Jessie really knows what she is doing. If you have the opportunity to work with this venue and Jessie you will not be disappointed.

ny questions that we had. You can tell the the Venue at Maison du Lac cares about the each couple that chooses them for their special day. The venue itself is gorgeous, clean, and welcoming. Our guests complimented how beautiful the grounds were. Fishing in lake was the special touch that the groomsmen loved. The bridal suite and groom's cabin were great amenities. We could not have asked for a better wedding day!

with the llamas. We would recommend this venue to anyone.

variety of setting they have. From a rustic chic barn to a modern reception area you don’t get bored with this venue site. We have so many amazing pictures and so many different vibes.
