Wedding Magic in Dowtown STL

Share your memories of this site.

We took a risk having a November wedding back in 2008. Typically November has a chance of snow, with anything after Halloween likely to end up with cold, windy and wet weather - but we lucked out. When we woke up the day after Halloween after dressing in costume for our rehearsal dinner - Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo - we woke up to a beautiful, sunny fall day. And after we were married in Lafayette Square and took pictures in Kiener Plaza, arguably the most impactful day of our life led us to this beautiful downtown hotel. We celebrated with a few hundred of our best friends that night, taking pictures in their beautifully windowed spaces, overlooking the river and city. In the morning we caught up about the festivities for brunch in the rooftop restaurant. It was the perfect cap to our beautiful day, that now has led us to 17 years together, two beautifully creative kids and five STL businesses. It's a memory and a place we'll never forget, as I'm sure many other can relate too.
