The Venue at Maison Du Lac was an absolute dream for our wedding. The barn ceremony location is rustic yet elegant. The indoor reception space is simple and modern but absolutely beautiful. 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.

Emma,
Thank you for the kind words. We are so happy to hear you had a 5 star experience
with us!
This is an absolutely gorgeous venue and we received so many compliments from our guests on the location, aesthetic, and venue staff. Jessie (venue manager) was a joy to work with and answered all of our questions from day 1. She was very communicative and provided tons of information to help us both pick the venue originally and plan our event after booking. The price was reasonable for everything that was included and we loved the options for renting decor and having the ceremony & reception right there. The getting ready suites were also incredible! Cannot say enough good things.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Maison du Lac, and, oh, what a wonderful day it was! Our ceremony was outside on the concrete slab, and the reception was setup just perfectly. 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!!

Any questions?
We were very happy with the Venue at Maison du Lac. The venue itself is beautiful and has multiple options for the ceremony. We chose the lawn and loved having the pond in our background. 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!

An absolute dream of a wedding venue.
The venue itself is amazing - has everything to offer including multiple ceremony places, bride/groom cabins, reception hall. The entire venue 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.

Our wedding day was PERFECT, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing venue! After searching through different venues, we were so happy to find this gem, it’s gorgeous and 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!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We truly appreicate the kind words and are thrilled to hear you had a 5 star experience with us!
The venue was a beautiful setting for my daughter’s wedding! We loved having all
Of the getting ready, ceremony and reception all in one place. Jessica was very patient and helpful 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.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Congrats again!
Wow, I have so many positives for choosing this venue it's hard to list them all! The grounds are stunning, everyone is so kind and easy to work with, and we couldn't have asked for 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!

As a wedding planner, I highly recommend The Venue at Maison du Lac! Its modern yet rustic charm lends itself to a variety of wedding aesthetics, and I love that couples have multiple 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!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It is always such a delight to work with you!!
Having my wedding at MDL exceeded all of my expectations beyond my wildest dreams. I love that it was a mix of rustic and modern. The reception and ceremony being all in the same place was another GREAT plus. All of my guests could not stop telling me how beautiful the venue was and I couldn’t agree more! The staff at MDL (especially Jessie) was absolutely outstanding to work with. I will recommend MDL time and time again for anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue!

Date: October 2023
Wedding Size: 55 people
Ceremony: Barn
A beautiful venue and the manager Jessie was fantastic to work with. She helped work out a ton of details beforehand and 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!

We had the most amazing experience working with the staff at The Venue at Maison du Lac! Jessie was so extremely helpful in suggesting everything from vendors to our timeline to all 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!

The Venue at Maison du Lac was everything we would have asked for! Jessie (venue coordinator) was amazing and helpful at every step of the way. She was very quick to respond to any 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!

When we first booked with the Venue it automatically meant we had booked our bar and our caterer as well. This was so amazing and relieved so much stress from the get go. They were so easy to communicate with and get ahold of. If I had any questions, I received an email with answers within 30 minutes or so! Jessie and Candance helped me out tremendously and gave me any advice they had, they even got to know us on a more personal level which made it so much easier! Ces and Judy’s food was OUTSTANDING! Overall, I had so many compliments on the venue and the food and staff after our wedding, many said it was the best wedding & reception they’ve ever attended! The venue fit my husband and I so well, it had an even mix of barn/rustic, modern and even an older traditional stone building. Getting married with the lake in the background was so beautiful! I highly recommend this venue, you won’t regret working with this team!

WOW!! My wedding was about two weeks ago and I’m still on cloud 9 from the day. We did a carnival theme wedding and the MDL team was truly incredible to work with and make all our dreams come true! The space was clean, The food was phenomenal, people are still texting me about how good it was! With aces and Judy’s catering you can not go wrong, plus we were able to play around and create a really fun menu together! Leading up to the event the team was so kind and easy to work with.
Wedding day, everything was smooth sailing! Getting ready on site in the bridal suite and grooms cottage we’re perfect for our group, no added stress of getting there on time. The staff working the venue also had some fun with colorful ties and clown noses to go into the theme, which was a total surprise! The Maison Du Lac is such a special place, a gorgeous venue, tucked away and secluded- it’s so calming! Book this venue, you won’t be sorry! Special shout out to Kara and Jessie for making our wedding day so magical!
Just wanted to thank you again for the above and beyond service that you and your staff provided for us on Saturday night. Everyone has had great things to say about your venue. It was the perfect place for our daughters wedding. Loved the country setting for the ceremony, and contemporary building for reception. Can’t say enough great things about this venue, and the people who run it!Thanks again Jessie for everything, you really are the best!

This venue is what dreams are made of. Between the rolling country hills and the lake and the charming vintage house and the barn with the crystal chandeliers and, of course, the beautiful, modern ballroom - this venue has IT ALL. Any direction you want to go for your wedding, The Venue at Maison Du Lac can accommodate. I was drawn to the venue initially when I wanted to have a modern, summer wedding, but as my wedding ideas changed, the venue continued to fit it. The property owner was even willing to accommodate a date change when my (now) husband and I decided to move up our wedding to an winter date. From the beginning, everyone we spoke to at MDL were so helpful and the venue truly ended up being beautiful! We had the best day. There isn’t anything I would’ve changed about our reception.

Everything about The Venue at the Maison du Lac and Ces and Judy's was PERFECT! As soon as we arrived on site we knew it was where we wanted to get married. Every single staff member that we came into contact with was extremely helpful, professional and FUN! Darla our coordinator was especially extraordinary. She took over our event two weeks before the date and what she accomplished was nothing short of amazing! And the food...I still have dreams about the chicken scampi and potato skins!! The venue is absolutely breathtaking and accommodated needs we didn't even know we would have!

Hi Amanda, My apologies for the delay in responding. I thought I had sent a response.
It was such a pleasure to work with you two gals. You had such a beautiful wedding ceremony and it was so great to see everyone having such a great time at...
your reception. I wish you nothing but the best for all the years to come.
Darla Stadler, Event Manager
The Venue at Maison Du Lac was an amazing experience! The team did work well together. Darla answered each and every single of my questions I had. They made arrangements for us since we had out of town folks in the bridal party. The venue was amazing and the reception was everything I hoped for! I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Response from the Vendor on 12/21/2021
Amanda, Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. It was such a pleasure working with you and making your special day exactly what you were dreaming of. Happy Holidays to you and your family!
The venue grounds are gorgeous especially in the fall. The bridal suite is so pretty and makes for great getting ready pictures. If you get married here make sure you pay to get the llamas! They were a huge hit with the guests and the pictures I was able to get with them are so cute! The inside of the venue is modern and doesn’t need much to make it look beautiful. I will say, make sure you have a couple really tall centerpieces since the ceilings are so tall, it made all the difference and was a great piece of advice from the staff. Coordination of the event with Darla and Bailey made me feel at ease. They made sure every detail was covered. The venue was also much more affordable than many places I looked at, you get bang for your buck for sure. Highly recommend getting buses from your hotel to the venue and back for the guests since it’s a distance from town. We used first student buses and it was perfect. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married. If you book the venue you have to use Ces and Judy’s catering, as they are the owners, and it was the best food and service. It made it so easy to not have to find another vendor. They are also very good at what they do so you can’t go wrong, even if I didn’t book the venue I would of used them!

I found the Venue at Maison du Lac here on the knot when my now husband and I started looking at venues for our wedding. The pictures were gorgeous and that hooked me but it was nothing compared to what I saw in person when I went to the venue to tour. The space is truly breathtaking. From the floor to ceiling windows in the reception venue to the lake, to the BEAUTIFUL bridal cottage- I was completely sold. The llamas and alpacas are also a must and makes this venue even more unique- our guests absolutely loved hanging out with them during cocktail hour and we got some amazing pictures. The staff is what sets this venue apart though- Bailey, our wedding coordinator was on top of everything, responded quickly to each email I sent (and there were a lot) and was just a pleasure to work with- she truly made my vision come through. I cannot recommend this place enough- I am so sad that our day is over because it truly was the best day ever.
From setting up a time to tour the Venue and learn more about their accommodations to following up with us after the wedding, and everything in between - Bailey and the rest of The Venue team were extremely supportive, helpful, and always no more than a phone call or email away. Bailey served as our Coordinator and was with us every step of the way during planning - always checking in to see if needed things or how she could help. She was willing to offer an opinion if we asked and supported each decision that we made. We couldn't have had an easier experience planning than with The Venue team! We were able to knock our catering and venue out in one sweep and both were way above our expectations. Ces and Judy's catering is delicious and they have a wide variety of menu options. The Venue is stunning and we loved that we were able to do everything in one place - include getting ready in the stunning bridal suite! I feel like the modern venue and the beautiful land surrounding it made for such a beautiful variety in our wedding photos. We couldn't recommend The Venue and their staff enough!
I got married at Maison du Lac this past weekend and it was the most amazing experience ever.
Ces was extremely helpful and flexible with us and determining pricing so we could stay on budget.
Bailey was more than we could have asked for. She was like having a wedding planner that came with the package of the venue pricing! She did so much for us and answered all of our questions along the way with such positivity.
The venue speaks for itself. The property is so beautiful and unique you will NEVER find another place like it. The barn was absolutely amazing and the modern build was so fun for our reception.
And did I mention the food? WOW! I had people coming up to me at work the next day telling me that was the best wedding food they had ever had before and they have been to quite a few weddings.
If you are thinking about getting married at this venue, DO IT! You will not be sorry.
The venue is picturesque, and idyllic, it filled with country charm, it contracts beautifully with the modern style of the reception hall. The staff is polite and very helpful with all your needs. A wonderful place your event.
I highly recommend this venue. Ces and Bailey were great during the planning process. They were very accommodating with tours and answering all of our questions. When the day came, the entire staff were unbelievably attentive and helpful, it was all hands on deck. The venue is beautiful, the staff is great and the food was amazing!! I really have nothing bad to say. It was perfect and the llamas were a huge hit!!
The Venue at Maison du Lac was absolutely beautiful. The food was amazing and Bailey and Ces were very accommodating exceeding all of expectations!
Having our reception at The Venue at Maison du Lac was the best decision we made for our wedding. Our guests LOVED the food - which was a buffet. Ces & Judy were so accommodating to work with & all of the staff were professional & attentive. And the property was beautiful for our pictures - with multiple backdrops to choose from. Everything was so seamless that the wait staff seemed almost invisible. our reception could not have gone better.
We have nothing but wonderful things to say about The Venue at Maison du Lac. The whole experience was great. The staff was courteous and professional. The food was exceptional. We would highly recommend this facility and catering.
THIS PLACE WAS A FABULOUS WEDDING LOCATION! FOOD WAS TASTY AND HOT AND PLENTY. STAFF OUT OF THE PARK
Our wedding was on 10/13 and it was *truly* beautiful. The venue could not be more perfect as a setting for photos. The bridal suites and getting ready house are huge, wonderfully decorated, and feel luxurious. The venue itself is spacious and modern, and the food is wonderful. Brian, the property manager, went above and beyond in coordingating day of logistics. I truly expect this venue to be fully booked for months and months - it's that beautiful. Cannot recommend enough.
The Venue at Masion du Lac is AMAZING! We just had a wedding and Reception there, What could be better than a wedding with a beautiful view?? We had food and drinks, enjoyed on a deck overlooking the lake. It is an ELEGANT CONTEMPORARY Venue that Ces and Judy had done TOP NOTCH!
The Bridal Suite is Beautiful and located in an Old Stone House. The staff is so Professional and accommodating and DELIGHTFUL! Especially Brian, who went way above and beyond. The food is OUTSTANDING!! . We had stations, which we had a large variety of menus to choose from. The acoustics are State of the Art. Where can you talk and listen to a band without screaming ?
Lizzie Glamore keeps everything in check, she was wonderful toe work with.
The Venue had everything to offer to make your event a memorable and special one.:)
We had our wedding at Ces & Judy's at Le Chateau in October. It was an incredible experience. Everyone was in love with this location and coudn't believe they didn't know about this hidden gem in saint louis. We had our ceremony in the round room which was perfect for many reasons. We were able to put photos of our loved ones up on the mantel so they could be part of our special day. This looked so natural because it was a mantel where pictures usually are and as we look at the photos and watch the video, we are so happy we did this. Our recpetion was in the large room which was great and convenient for our guests.
We worked with Lizzie who was incredible. She was so patient and accommodating answering all my emails and phone calls in a timely manner. She met with us anytime I wanted and was super patient with my father, who can be a handful. I am so grateful to Lizzie for all she did and for making our wedding go off without a hitch.
We had a lot of our of town guests so having the HIlton across the parking lot from Ces and Judy's was perfect and easy. The food there was incredible. The food on our wedding tasted just as good as the food was during our tasting. I still dream about the carrot soufflé! This was the best day of our lives and we both feel that we couldn't have picked a more perfect location to have our wedding. I highly highly recommend Ces & Judy's at Le Chateau!!

We are so grateful have been a part of your fairytale day! Thank you for the wonderful words and best wishes as newlyweds!
We had both our ceremony and reception at Ces & Judy's and couldn't have been happier! Leading up to the wedding, Amanda was so helpful and easy to work with. We didn't know a whole lot about the wedding planning process and were so thankful for her expertise and her direction during the rehearsal dinner as well as the day of the wedding. Thanks to Ces & Judy's, our wedding day was absolutely perfect! Our guests complimented us on the food and how lovely the event space was. The staff was courteous and professional and even went above and beyond creating some beautiful decorations that complemented perfectly with the rest of our decor. I would highly recommend Ces & Judy's!

We are so glad you enjoyed the ambiance and had a wonderful experience! Thanks for letting us be a part of your wedding weekend!
I had a great experience with Ces & Judy's for my wedding earlier this year in January. The staff was very friendly and pretty accommodating to some of my preferences. My husband and I chose the buffet option but still were able to have a few plated vegetarian and gluten free dinners. I thought the food options were better than the typical food you might find at other places. The size of the ballroom ended up being a good size for 15 tables we had seating our guests. I was a little worried about this since our original plan was around 180 guests but we had quite a few out of town guest who ended up not being able to come to the reception. Something to consider as a potential down side would be having a larger guest list and having the tables closer together than you might like. The bar area is in a separate room so guest will have other space to move around a little if they want too.
Overall, great place and great food. My husband and I are extremely happy we chose Ces & Judy's as our reception venue!

Ces & Judy's was INCREDIBLE!!! We're so thankful we found them and we suggest their venue & catering to any couple planning their wedding. They were helpful every step of the way and their staff is amazing. Ces & Judy's team made us feel like we were their only clients.

Ces and Judy's did a wonderful job. The food was fantastic. We had so many compliments about how amazing the food was. The venue itself has a lot of simple, beautiful features. And for our evening reception, it was stunning. Gorgeous. There are 2 working fireplaces which were charming for our chilly November wedding. Their planner has a lot of really great and creative ideas which made me as a bride feel so much better. I would highly recommended it. I had the best night of my life.

Everybody loved the venue and the food. They were easy to work with. We had a smaller group and but the venue didn't feel too big.

It was our pleasure to accommodate you! Best of luck as newlyweds!
We used Ces and Judy's at the City Museum. The food was delicious and working with the caterer was very easy. We heard from guests a couple of negative things about the sit down service however. One table never received bread rolls, some people's prime rib was cold when served, and others felt the prime rib was too rare. The wedding package was a good deal though and included appetizers, the cake, and a full bar!

Thanks you for your words! We apologize for the lack of quality service some of your guests received. We take pride in serving hot and fresh food and making sure guests leave full! We promise to improve on this and exceed your expectations next...
time!
We had both our ceremony and reception at Ces & Judy's. The whole experience was terrific. The service was outstanding from the first meeting we had with Rick, the catering manager, through the night of the wedding. Everything went perfectly and the food was the best wedding food we'd ever had (this sentiment was repeated by several of our guests as well).

The space was wonderful with two fireplaces--perfect for a winter wedding. The food was the best I have ever had at a wedding reception. The cake was by McArthur bakery locally and was the hit of the party. The house bar selection was premium. The wait staff was very attentive not only to the Bride and Groom but to the guests as well.
