Absolutely Phenomenal

I helped my niece plan her wedding at The McPherson and this venue is absolutely stunning! From the beamed ceilings, lovely courtyard and bride suite. The McPherson did not disappoint. We received so many compliments from our guests throughout the entire evening. Everything went so smooth and the food was to die for. I personally want to thank Phillip for all his attention to detail on the day of and answering all my questions promptly throughout the planning process! I'm so glad we chose The McPherson!

Best Wedding Venue!

Abell DJ Company, DJ team has performed for many beautiful couples here and I have to say, it is one of my favorite venues in the St Louis area. I love the layout including the outdoor courtyard that's perfect for ceremonies or cocktails but, most of all the fantastic staff. They are easy to work with ensuring the couples day goes smoothly.
Looking forward to being back soon!

Hidden Gem in Great Location

Wow ! I would have never imagined how beautiful this venue is. If you just drive by you have no idea how fabulous the inside and rear courtyard are. The up-lighting and dance floor lights are really nice. They have a great bar inside and a second bar in the rear courtyard. The outside ceremony was just perfect and the indoor reception hall is awesome. I highly recommend this hidden gem for weddings
