Saint Louis City Hall

This french-styled building was inspired by the Hotel de Ville or City Hall of Paris. The square rotunda is very unique and its central interior feature is a white marble rotunda, about 100 feet square, with a colored glass skylight above and a marble grand staircase.   

St Louis City Hall is available for wedding ceremonies AFTER HOURS (after 6pm on weekdays or weekends) for a fee. Contact the Special Events Department at 314-589-6640.

Officiant Only : $200

Officiant Plus Rehearsal : $380
City Hall : Call 314-589-6640 for Facility Use Fee

St Louis City Hall for a Wedding Ceremony

The space must be scheduled so that normal business hours are not 
interrupted   Not a problem for a Saturday or Sunday event.  There is no air conditioning and the catering company will not have use of a kitchen.

The Ceiling of the City Hall Rotunda - Unforgettable

Fees range from $150 to $1,500 depending on whether or not the space is used for a ceremony and/or reception.  There are many pros and cons to this location.  I prefer to recommend it as a non-religious site for a wedding ceremony.  The rotunda is not air conditioned. Parking is not included and party rentals must be rented.

Missouri Marriage License

What Happens  Once You Get Your Marriage License in Missouri? Once you receive your marriage license from the Recorder of Deeds Office, you must use the license within 30 days, it expires after the 30th day. If you do not use the license it must be returned to the Recorder of Deeds Office. Usually there are two papers for the Wedding Officiant to fill out : the Marriage License and the Marriage Certificate. The first paper is the valid marriage license which is the legal document that an officiant fills out before the ceremony with 1) The official name of person who performs the ceremony.  2) City where the wedding takes place.  3) County where the wedding takes place. 4) Day, month and year of wedding. 5) Official signature, title and sometimes their address.

15 Unique Ceremony Ideas

Here are a few unconventional ceremony ideas to take you down the aisle with a twist. 1. Let your guests mingle over cocktails before the ceremony. 2.

Ceremony in the Round 5. Have both parents walk you down the aisle. Dad - Bride - Mom 6. Have your husband-to-be escort you to the altar. 7. Don’t have bridesmaids or groomsmen - just the two of you. 8. Have an uneven number of attendants.     (Maybe you just want a maid of honor, but he wants three groomsmen.) 9. Have a “man of honor” instead of a maid of honor. (Your brother? A good male friend?) 10. Have the groom choose a “best woman.” (His sister? A good female friend?) 11. Don’t wear a veil. 12.

County Parks Wedding Sites

The St Louis County Parks and Recreation department has a wedding website. Their parks are great locations for wedding ceremonies and you cannot beat the price! Some locations come with electricity and restrooms, while others are simple for short, sweet and simple ceremonies. I have performed ceremonies as a Wedding Officiant  and I love the versatility that they can provide. Couples need to have nerves of steel as there is usually not a PLAN B or contingency plan in case of bad weather.  Nonetheless, they remain very popular. Below are my favorite photographs that show off the space.  You must contact the County Parks to book the location. Call me if you want my personal opinion on any of these locations as I am an Event Location Specialist.
