James and Courtney's Grand Wedding Adventure
Saint Louis, MO, July, 2008
"What an amazing adventure our wedding was!! Planning a wedding in Saint Louis from Philadelphia was a challenge, but all of my vendors provided such consistent and flexible service that I had nothing but confidence when I arrived in STL.
The experiences at both Eliot Chapel and Busch Stadium were personal and unique and most importantly... FUN!! We are a couple that loves to have a good time with the people we love and we were so blessed to have such a wonderful and special day!
Thanks to everyone in Saint Louis for all you did to make our day great! We will gladly tell our friends!! :)
-James and Courtney"

MacArthur's Bakery
Saint Louis, MO, USAThey delivered to an unusual venue, on time on a holiday which really impressed us. I was able to do my entire order via phone, fax and email, since I was planning from 1200 miles away. The customer service was amazing!! Most importantly, the cake was DELICIOUS! White chocolate and strawberry filling and some of the best buttercream ever! Overall a wonderful experience!

Ceremony
Eliot Chapel
100 S Taylor AveKirkwood, MO 63122, US
Our experience at Eliot was wonderful. We were provided with a minister and coordinator as part of our package. Both treated our guests and family as if it were their own wedding!! It was wonderful to feel so at home at a new place. However, currently, the outside of the church is undergoing ALOT of construction... making photo ops difficult! Inside though, the backdrop of the ceremony is a huge picture window, making a beautiful setting for an intimate ceremony!
Reception
Busch Stadium
250 Stadium PlazaSt Louis, MO 63102, US
This was the best idea ever! Groom- lifelong Cubs fan. Bride- Lifelong Cardinals Fan. Our reception- A Cubs Cardinals baseball game on the Fourth of July!! Our guests absolutely loved the uniqueness of this reception- certainly a wedding they will never forget! The party rooms were very nice and included all you can drink beer with the cost!! We were able to use their caterer for a buffet dinner with great food. We also had a wedding cake delivered, our own photographer, and all the decorations and favors we wanted to use. This was a wonderful experience for our guests and I can't imagine having our wedding any other way! If you are a funloving couple looking to throw a great party for your loved ones, I highly recommend the New Busch Stadium!!
