So I looked at 4 possible reception venues today...
Forest Park GC
Riverbottom Saloon (Patty Long)
Soulard Preservation Hall
The Franklin Room
The top two are Forest Park GC and Riverbottom Saloon. We loved Soulard Preservation Hall but felt like it would be too tight for 175 - 200 guests and there was no parking.
We still have Bear Creek GC, Ameristar, and possibly the Anhueser Busch Conference Center in Fenton to look at.
I always appreciate people's thoughts on venues so please comment.
