I had the pleasure to coordinate a wedding at the Westin St Louis Hotel located at 8th and Spruce Streets in the heart of downtown.

Promenade Ballroom - Capacity : 260
Dance Floor in the Promenade Ballroom
This location has high reviews on service and the urban atmosphere makes one feel like it is a boutique hotel, but with full amenities.  The Promenade Ballroom has a unique glass entrance that can flow with candles as guests walk in.  The pre-function room is a great open space perfect for the cocktail hour before the wedding reception and includes a grand piano.  The ballroom has an immediate feeling of warmth with so many lighting options to choose from.


Cupples Ballroom for a Wedding Ceremony
The Cupples Ballroom overlooks a courtyard and is great for a ceremony or reception.  The capacity for a reception is 150 guests.  General amenities include wedding night suite AND the couple's anniversary, special linens, complimentary parking, and even a wedding website.

My favorite room for rehearsal dinners or intimate special events is the 9th and Spruce room which holds up to 100 guests.  The room is free of any artwork or design which gives the couple free reign on decor.

This site is open to all couples and all faiths and has an elopement package available.

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.

How Formal Is Your Wedding?

The formal bridal party consists of four to twelve attendants; a maid or matron of honor, the best man, bridesmaids, one usher for every fifty guests, one or two flower girls, and a ring bearer. The bride's gown is a work of art, full length, usually with a train and veil. The number of guests is often between 150 and 400. It's not unusual for the bride and groom to enlist the aid of a wedding consultant in planning these lavish events. Some, but not all, of the guidelines shown above are relaxed in a semi-formal wedding. The ceremony and reception can take place in a variety of locations and both are often held at the same place. Semi-formal weddings usually have fewer attendants, and wedding attire and flowers may be less traditional and more innovative. How Formal Is Your Wedding? Formal weddings are usually held in a church, synagogue, temple, a hotel ballroom, home or a garden. These weddings follow a myriad of time- honored customs, preserved down to the las...
