Third Degree Glass

nning. Their staff was so helpful with any questions we had during the day and so easy to work with!

s! Everyone thought it was beautiful and that the staff were amazing. Brooke and Allison were incredibly helpful with the planning process. The were great at communicating, eased our anxieties, and truly made our day flawless. I cannot thank everyone at Third Degree enough!!

its not just the Venue that made our experience so wonderful, it the entire team at Third Degree, from the beginning they made us feel welcomed and helped us create the perfect wedding day. Brooke was so incredible and detailed when it came to translating what we wanted to actual reality and she was there for us every step of the way for any questions we had large or small. Our wedding day needless to say went off so spectacularly perfect that we received compliments all night from our guests and are still getting compliments a week later about how beautiful and unique our ceremony and reception was! From the amazing planning team and staff, the beautiful venue itself, the unique glass blowing demonstration during our cocktail hour, and the amazing bar team, we can 100% say we had a wedding day that our family and friends will talk about for a very long time and one that we will never forget!! We couldn’t of imagined a better start to our lives together and can’t thank the Third Degree Team enough!

uis area, our goal was to find a beautiful space that offered a memorable experience for our guests within our budget and TDGF fit our needs perfectly. TDGF was responsive and upfront in the quoting process and gave us a clear idea on what our reception would look like. We began working with Jessica when we first signed our contract and Brooke joined the team about five months before our event. Both Jessica and Brooke worked well within their communications portal and were able to provide thoughtful insights to the needs of our wedding reception. One thing to consider, TDGF was still going through a few updates between when we first set our reception date and when our reception was held. This included some wonderful surprises including beautiful high-top tables that matched the bar and new overhead spotlights that allowed for our band to be ‘featured’ a bit more. They also had a couple of items in our contract that were subject to availability such as colored glass centerpieces (which are no longer available), and specific artist's capabilities for glass pieces. These changes did not materially impact our evening, but if you want to adhere to a strict vision, be sure to make TDGF aware of your requests. They are continuing to build out their event experience and we expect that the space will get even better! The space itself is open, with beautiful exposed brick, glass pieces arranged on walls and hung from the ceiling, and a full on ‘hot shop’ which married an industrial environment with a beautiful canvas upon which we could compose our reception. Our evening included a cocktail hour, unity ceremony, seated dinner, and a live band for 140 guests and the space worked exceptionally well. The large banquet hall had plenty of space, but never felt cavernous for a plated dinner and large dance floor. The glass gallery made for a wonderful setting to have our unity ceremony and cocktail hour—getting to see seasonal art pieces was super unique. The outdoor space was lovely and provided guests with a great place to grab a bit of fresh air and a quiet space over the course of the evening. We had guests coming up to us asking ‘how did you find this place?!’ and ‘I didn’t know something this cool existed!’ The space is open enough to add your own design touch, but is complete enough that you don’t need to do much to make the space feel special. A highlight of the space is the optional live glass demonstration. We had guests coming up to us throughout the evening telling us how special it was to witness a piece of art being created. It complemented our cocktail hour after our unity ceremony. The way Allison runs the bar program at TDGF is also exceptional. We had two signature cocktails as well as a full bar—the cocktails were well mixed and folks hardly had to wait to get a drink. Their quality and variety of spirits rival standalone bars. TDGF feels like they have invested in an excellent bar program and it shows! We had a seamless experience working with our vendors and the run of show was well put together and easy to follow. The evening of our reception went off without a hitch and Brooke was incredibly responsive through the process. TDGF is evolving for the better and making strides to be the premier event space of St. Louis. Book them now while you still can!

essional and easy to work with. We appreciated their creativity and flexibility during the entire planning process. They were on top of everything during the event. The TDGF staff was professional and service-oriented. I would highly recommend this venue for weddings and other events.

e. The team - especially Jessica, Brooke, and Alison are incredibly responsive, team-oriented, and professional. I have coordinated 4 weddings there now, and cannot wait for our next time together!

e for the cocktail hour and every space is decorated with beautiful art. The glassblowing demonstration was super memorable for our guests, too. Working with the team was overall a good experience. There were times we had some confusion in communication with people changing roles but the team at Third Degree never dropped the ball and they made sure we were taken care of. They worked smoothly with our wedding coordinators and really helped get all the little details in place. They have done many weddings and know what they're doing but don't force a certain flow or format on you - you can do whatever you want but they also were happy to use their experience when we said "uhhh, whatever usually works!" The pricing is reasonable for what's included. I liked that we could do linens, centerpieces, table numbers, and beverages all through the venue and trust their staff to take care of those for us. Our guests still talk about how cool the venue was and I totally agree! We also have a beautiful piece of glass art to commemorate the occasion.

onstration, which guests loved, and expert bartenders! It was also very easy working with the staff leading up to the wedding.

m artwork and is extremely versatile. You can keep it simple or glam it up as much as you want. (We kept it simple and it was still a fairytale). We had a wonderful experience with Jessica and her staff! They helped walk us through the experience from start to finish, providing insight and expertise on design, floor plans, vendors, bar packages, etc. With their help, we were able to have the wedding day of our dreams without breaking the bank. Couldn’t have asked for a better day/experience. Overall would 10/10 recommend Third Degree for a top wedding venue in STL.

e rockstars on the day of. And as for the venue itself, it is WORTH IT. Our guests were amazed & entertained the whole evening. The glass demo experience was a highlight, and our unity piece looks amazing.

tiful that it requires little to no decoration to get the vibe and atmosphere of a beautiful wedding. The cherry on top of the cake for us was the ability to bring any outside caterer you wanted, whereas other venues required you use a specific vendor for food. The front office staff, bar staff, and everyone else were very supportive and helpful throughout the whole planning process. Third Degree will always hold a special place in our hearts and we whole heartedly recommend this venue for a perfect wedding!

!) knew right away that this was the venue for our wedding. Our first visit there with Olivia was great - she told us everything we needed to know and more, showed us around, and gave us a great vibe right away. We booked within the week (they were very quick to communicate which I appreciated). The communication throughout was wonderful and we never felt like we were ever being strung along. We found a few of our vendors through their preferred vendors as well. Day of literally could not have gone better. We had such a wonderful experience. We used the gallery room for our ceremony and it was so beautiful using all of the art as the backdrop for our wedding. Then the event space was done perfectly (so much room!). The bar was beautiful, the bartenders were great and fun, and the custom mixed drinks they allowed us to create ended up being delicious. All in all, working with Third Degree was 10/10 and I will recommend them to anyone as a venue (we also have a few glass pieces bought from there now and they are gorgeous - go support local artists!)

supportive throughout the entire process, she made planning as smooth and stress-free as possible. I cannot thank her, and the rest of the staff at Third Degree, enough for all of their hard work in making my dream wedding come true.

nt of compliments on how beautiful our evening was and I think much of that was due to the location. We worked with a few planners over the years, but ultimately ended up coordinating with Ali and she was super easy to work with and very responsive to all of our questions and emails.

ng all the glass. The bar is well stocked, and there was never a long line for our guests to get drinks. I highly recommend getting married here! We had an amazing night thanks to all of the hard work of the staff at Third Degree.

also loved the bartenders, who went above in helping us come up with the perfect recipe for our cocktails. Alison was a dream to work with, always answering all of our questions and getting back to us immediately on everything. I can't stress enough how easy she made the planning process. The day went beyond our expectations and would 100% recommend if you're looking for a beautiful, unique artsy venue.

municated in a very timely manner and was able to answer all of our questions as well as providing us with suggestions whenever we asked for them. On the day of our wedding, the entire Third Degree staff was so friendly and wonderful. Our guests loved the artsy venue, the glass blowing demonstration between the ceremony and reception, and the yard games that we provided during the reception. I cannot recommend Third Degree enough! Thank you!!!

s I would send constantly. When the pandemic hit initially they did not hesitate to let us postpone. They have always made us feel comfortable, knowing that the day would go well. On the day itself they were super helpful and did everything that they said they would. I highly recommend this venue, not only because it looks amazing (which means you don't really need to do your own decor!!!), but mostly because the people are all very kind and helpful.

as kind, enthusiastic, and organized as we planned the event. She was responsive to emails, gave us great suggestions, and was flexible when we asked for last minute seating assignment changes. She was truly essential in making our wedding such a success. We are grateful for all her hard work and would recommend this venue to others for important events!

The event services manager, Alison, was the best and helped us every step of the way. Everything turned out perfectly and I am so grateful to Third Degree for helping make it all possible.

olute dream. Olivia and her team were wonderful to work and did everything to make our vision come to light. Our guests were very impressed with the venue space. We would recommend anyone to consider Third Degree and would definitely use again for another event!

e team were so fantastic to work with! Our guests loved the glass blowing demonstration! I would highly recommend third degree to any couple for their wedding day!

at I did not need one. They were friendly and attentive throughout the whole process and everyone at the wedding raved about the location and the decor they put up for us. If you are looking for a unique space with a great event staff that can help you out every step of the way, definitely check them out!

rt. If you are using tags like rustic and urban, this is definitely a place to check out. Beyond the physical space, the customer service of planning an event here is really unmatched. Olivia made me feel like she cared as much about my wedding as much as I did. She reassured me when I felt stressed, was excited for me when I felt excited, and brought many details to my attention that I never would have thought of on my own. The staff during the night of our wedding was also very attentive, friendly, and responsive to any issues that came up throughout the night. Just like all of these other reviews say, people are STILL talking about our wedding weeks later. The unity ceremony and glass blowing demonstration really is a unique way to entertain your guests during the cocktail hour, and it creates a beautiful, symbolic piece of art for you and your partner to remember the day by forever. I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of the most popular places to host a wedding at in St. Louis in the next five years. They're only going to get better!

. It’s even better now since the changes were complete. We used minimal decor because the venue didn’t need anything extra. Our guests are still talking about our wedding weeks after! They really enjoyed the glass blowing demonstration. Alison and Olivia and the rest of the staff made sure our day was perfect and stress free. The venue is truly one of a kind!

't want to dance or want to take a break from dancing later on. Honestly, what our guests raved most about however was the live glass blowing demonstration. The two artists were amazing and our guests were wowed from start to finish. All in all, everything was perfect and we are so happy to have used Third Degree as our venue. Definitely a unique experience that made our wedding everything we could have hoped for and more.

didn't want the typical wedding, and my guests were raving about it for weeks after our big day. We had games and a s'mores bar going on outside, a live demonstration happening inside, and then we had glass frit to use for a union during our ceremony. That frit was turned into a beautiful glass vase to remember the day forever! They were also willing to work with us in case of bad weather for our outdoor ceremony located elsewhere (luckily the rain went around us), and they even snuck a cute ornament onto our gift table that was so thoughtful and made us smile when we were going through gifts the next day! Everyone was super nice and friendly to work with, as well. Unfortunately, we had a few things happen that diminished my overall experience. First, when we signed our contract, we were told the construction they were getting ready to start would be completed at least a month before our wedding. It wasn't over by our wedding, and that wasn't communicated to us until relatively close to our wedding date. I didn't care so much about the appearance, but it did change our floor plan and made it difficult for my older guests to get in. During the planning process, there were a few times where my wedding was confused with another bride's wedding. Not a huge deal, but made for some added stress in my life with the confusion of wrong details/pricing. There were also a few rental items and glass items where the price was shown differently in different locations, which was a bit confusing, but they did honor the original rental prices in my contract. Prior to our wedding, I checked out their audio system for playing our own playlist as I was told other weddings have used it with no problems. It seemed loud and clear, but on the day of the wedding, the music was incredibly low and hard to hear. I would suggest bringing your own equipment because that was definitely something I regret. I will say though, the sound system was great for the speeches. My biggest complaint was the fact that our reception was supposed to go until 10 PM, at which point they would start tearing down. Well they started tearing down at 9 PM instead, so a lot of people thought it was over and left. By the time I noticed what was going on, my super friendly midwestern aunts and uncles were helping the staff pack things up. A wedding already flies by quickly, and to have one of the hours I paid for seem to disappear, well that was pretty disappointing. So overall, if you're looking for a beautiful venue where your guests will experience something unique and have a blast, Third Degree Glass Factory is a great option for that. Just be aware that you may run into some snags along the way. I also don't plan on letting these few negative things that happened keep me from visiting in the future because TDGF has a lot of other things to offer the community, too.

eautiful on it's own. My guests RAVED about the glass blowing demonstration. I felt that the venue is a great size. There is a lot of space for everyone but it still feels intimate. The staff was amazing to work with and Rachel made the day so easy and the month leading up to the wedding was organized and stress-free. You will not regret booking this venue!

my date 11/1/2019. Later Tracey became my contact. She communicated well and kept me on track and informed. Ali was there the night of, she had it all together and was very helpful with my family setting up while the wedding party took photos. Each of these people were amazing. The venue itself is beautiful, I felt I hardly needed to decorate. My husband and I had a wonderful experience and all our guests were talking about how gorgeous everything was. I appreciate everyone at Third Degree for making our night perfect.

ry detail. Both Tracey and Ali went out of their way to make sure our evening went smoothly as well. Many of our guests commented what a beautiful and unique venue it was, and it was altogether even better than we had dreamed. Thank you Third Degree, highly recommend!

lled with it. Our guests absolutely loved our venue and cannot stop talking about our glass blowing demo we had during the cocktail hour. The space had everything my husband and I were looking for and we are so glad we were able to have our wedding reception at Third Degree. Thanks again!

and more. Their space is absolutely beautiful- brick walls, garage doors, Edison bulb lighting, and of course the gallery full of beautiful blown glass. All of our guests even complimented the bathrooms believe it or not! We were able to cater Salt + Smoke, which is always a crowd pleaser, and bring in our own dessert bar from Whisk. We also splurged and had a glass-blowing demonstration during our cocktail hour- which gave it an extra special touch. We will soon be picking up our piece that they created for us as well! We also loved that they had an outdoor area so that we could have bonfires and leave one of the garage doors open during our reception to let in some fresh air. Tracey, our coordinator, was absolutely fantastic and was always quick to answer any questions or concerns that we might have had. She worked extraordinarily well with all of our vendors! Our bartenders also got a lot of compliments from our staff (which I feel like is not very common to hear), because they were on top of it and their was never a long line! All in all, you will not regret having your wedding reception at Third Degree. We also love that it is a place we can return to for other events. Third Degree will always hold a special place in our hearts for giving us our dream wedding reception and throwing us the part of the year!!

year between booking and the actual event. Our guests raved about how much they loved the glass blowing demonstration-- I highly recommend it!! The switch from ceremony to reception was smooth, with a cocktail hour in the gallery and with the demonstration. The outdoor patio was fantastic with the fire pit going, and we brought our own bean bag set and giant jenga set. Overall, our day was perfect with big thanks to Third Degree!

he staff was great and accommodating and they were willing to take on new vendor relationships for us as well.

the dance floor or chill on the outisde patio. My husband and I are both graphic designers so we loved the artistic atmosphere and the ability to have glass artwork from the gallery as the table centerpieces. Tracey was awesome to work throughout the planning process. Rachel worked our reception and she was beyond amazing at attending to our guests and to the details of the night. My husband and I had perfect evening and Third Degree will continue to be a very special place to us! We can’t wait to go back for events!

emonstration while my husband and I were able to take family photos and it kept everyone entertained and everyone has had nothing but great things to say! This venue is perfect for a wedding or any other type of celebration!

he top. They were easy to work with, leveraged their experience to help us find the right fit for what we were looking for, and made sure all the little details were tied up for us. They work really well with their preferred vendors (and their list is expansive!) and made it so easy for us to accommodate some new vendors that we found outside of their list for dessert and photo-booth. They set up multiple touch points with us leading up to the reception, ensured we were in the loop with our vendors they were managing, where we were on our custom glass piece, and the bar staff was excellent - made sure we were taken care of all night! Our event planner was managing the evening as well, and guaranteed the event ran as planned. We highly recommend this venue - they provide both great service and a great venue!

d the contract, Tracey was our main point of contact to plan every detail, both in-person and via email. From decor placement to the event itinerary to tear-down, Tracey was such a pleasure to work with. She was super organized and accommodating. The entire staff was wonderful. The space itself is amazing - so much square footage and beautiful glass decorations for the price. The patio was an appreciated bonus. I can’t recommend the location enough! By booking Third Degree, we received more than a reception venue; we had expert support from a team throughout the entire planning process. We feel really lucky to have used Third Degree's space.

y coordinated with our vendors so that we didn't have to play the middleman for anything. And that was all before the reception itself! The space is so unique - we received so many compliments about the artwork, the glass blowing demonstration, even the bathrooms! It was a great event and we would definitely recommend this space for others looking for a fun place to host a reception or other event.

s really evident. We worked with Rachel throughout our year long planning process and she was always on top of things and a great communicator. We knew that if we left something in her hands, it would definitely get done and done well! On our wedding day, we had two different managers from Third Degree who were absolutely wonderful. They were both former wedding planners and you could tell! One of the managers fashioned my husband a new boutonniere by piecing together different flowers when his original boutonniere got crushed in a hug. Who has that creativity and skill?! They made the entire day run so smoothly, which allowed us to just enjoy the party! Besides the wonderful staff, the venue is so cool and different than other spaces. We received a variety of compliments from guests about the exposed brick, the glass ceremony, the glass blowing demonstration during the cocktail hour, and of course, the cool glass faucets in the bathrooms! There is so much to love! We are very happy with our decision to have our wedding at Third Degree! It will always hold a special place in our hearts and memories.

lanned, what I needed to decide on, etc and Rachel was so much help. Made it as stress free as possible. Pricing was very upfront, no surprises. And did I mention the venue is gorgeous? Would wholeheartedly recommend.

at time with the bartender, Aaron, who went out of his way to make sure our night was amazing. The glass blowing demonstration in a MUST! The artists are crazy knowledgeable and make the whole process super interesting. We are still getting compliments from our guests. All-in-all Third Degree made our night unforgettable!

ding. The venue is beautiful and unlike anywhere else in the area. It's also affordable. I can't recommend TDGF enough and I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.
