The Delmar Loop

St. Louis, MO 63112, USA

The Delmar Loop is a bustling street with lots of neon lights and nightlife. There's so much to do just downstairs from our venue that we couldn't possibly put them all on this page! It has quickly become one of our favorite spots in St. Louis. Feel free to explore The Loop before (or well after) our wedding has ended.

Website

Museum at the Gateway Arch

St. Louis, MO 63113, USA

A must see St. Louis landmark for our out of town guests! Only a 20-minute drive away from the venue.

Saint Louis Renaissance Festival

2589 W Meyer Rd, Foristell, MO 63348, USA

This is one of our favorite events in September! This festival lasts for at least a month. It is a bit of a drive outside of the city, but it is a lot of fun if you want to immerse yourself in a "fantasy forest."

Missouri Botanical Garden

4344 Shaw Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63110, USA
(314) 577-5100

We may be biased, but this is the most beautiful garden in the world! And where Brendan popped the question! It's $16 for non-members of the Garden and worth every penny. Be sure to visit the Seiwa-en Japanese Garden for a truly spectacular view.

Places to Visit Inside Forest Park

The Great Forest Park Balloon Race

St. Louis, MO 63110, USA

The annual Great Forest Park Balloon Race is a free event happening on the weekend of the wedding! A spectacular hot air balloon glow will take place on Friday night with the balloon launches happening just before our wedding on Saturday (weather permitting)! Even if you don't have time to see the launch, keep an eye on the skies on your way to the Moonrise. You may see a few balloons in the air right before we say "I do."
