Wedding and Reception Information

Where and what time is the wedding?

Our wedding will be at Our Lady of Sorrows in St. Louis at 2:00. The address is 5020 Rhodes Avenue. The church has a large parking lot, including street parking. https://www.olsorrows.org/

Where and when is the reception?

The reception will be at Lemp's Grand Hall (located in a very historical area of St. Louis) from 5:30-10:00pm. The address is 1817 Cherokee St. in St. Louis, MO 63118. You will take the early 1900's elevator up to the top floor. The reception will begin with cocktails and appetizers, then proceed with a buffet, open bar, and dancing. There are many on-street parking spots around the Lemp Grand Hall. I encourage you to Uber or Lyft to the reception from your hotel.

Why the Lemp Grand Hall?

At the end of every Oct. when I was in high school, my mom, Aunt Holly, her spouse Denise, and I would rent rooms for the night in the Lemp Mansion--during our stay, we would have many bizarre and unexplainable experiences. I loved my years spending the night in "the most haunted house in America" with my family! The Lemps were in competition with the Busch Family (Budweiser) for making the best beer. Our reception is not where my family used to spend the night but is located in the building where the Lemp family had their offices. I can only imagine them sitting in the Grand Hall, trying to figure out ways to make Budweiser go out of business. The Lemp family ultimately failed...which led to their untimely demise. Feel free to ask me about my many spooky experiences exploring the Lemp Mansion! https://www.lempmansion.com/isithaunted.htm

What should I wear to the wedding and the reception?

Please wear what makes you feel the most comfortable. We are truly happy and grateful to have you celebrating with us!

Where will we continue celebrating after the reception?

From the Westin, we can walk to Ballpark Village, a place where Michael and I have watched many Cardinals games and had drinks before/after the games. We would love to continue spending time with you there! Please note that the after-party is not a catered event. Food and drinks will be available for you to purchase.
