    A wedding dream come true!!

    We had the most incredible experience with Chandler Hill Vineyards as our rehearsal dinner and wedding venue space! It was truly a wedding dream come true! Megan, Ally, and their team worked incredibly hard to make our wedding events come to life and executed them beautifully! They made planning a destination wedding through a pandemic a breeze. All of the special touches through the day elevated our experience and surpassed our expectations. The rehearsal dinner in the barrel room was gorgeous and the bbq buffet was incredible. The bridal and groomsmen suites were comfortable and stocked with food and drinks, a perfect space to get ready and take photos. The champagne wall and classic getaway car were elegant touches to our ceremony and reception. Everything looked gorgeous and the food was delicious. Our wedding vision was elevated with the fireworks that wowed all of our guests. We received so many compliments! Chandler Hill’s amazing staff allowed us to feel relaxed and comfortable so we could focus on the most important element of the day, our love and sharing it with our loved ones. Our vision was very much focused on a feeling of love and fun and Chandler Hill was the perfect venue to make that feeling come to life. We are so grateful that we were able to make memories that will last forever.

    Highly Recommend!

    Chandler Hill was an amazing venue. It was so beautiful, with the outdoor ceremony on the deck. Pictures and first look in the vineyards were just beautiful. The staff here (Megan the wedding coordinator especially) was fantastic in helping us plan a wedding and then reschedule it due to COVID. Several of our guests commented on the food, saying it was some of the best wedding food they had had! There are bride a groom suites upstairs for some privacy throughout the day, and where the wedding party can put their belongings. Before the wedding, they had a tasting even where we got to see how the venue would be set up for a wedding and had a florist there who had made centerpieces so you could see some examples and get inspiration. The wedding coordinator, Megan, walked us through the whole day and made sure the ceremony went off without a hitch. Had it been raining, we would have done the ceremony inside by the fireplace and I know this would have been beautiful too. We felt like we had plenty of time for a first look and photos before, so we could fully enjoy the reception. We also did the Champaign wall - which was a huge hit.

    WOW. Our experience with Chandler Hill was outstanding. We worked with both the event coordinators and they we're fabulous. On the wedding day, Megan kept everything running perfectly. She even helped me put my garter on, bustle my dress, and get some sauce off my dress when I spilled on it. She went above and beyond to help make our day wonderful. Aside from that, the food is amazing, the venue is beautiful, and the bar service was amazing. All of our guests kept commenting on how perfect everything was.

    We chose Chandler Hill after our first choice of venue overbooked on our date. No regrets... it turned out beautifully and the sunset over the patio was incredibly beautiful! We loved it and guests complimented the food!

    Wonderful! I had my dream wedding there. They do a great job of helping keep things organized for you with the timeline and the vendors. Megan was a huge help and was very sweet. I got so many compliments about how gorgeous the venue was. We got married overlooking the vineyard and had dinner inside the beautiful tasting room/restaurant. It is a naturally gorgeous place so we were able to save money on decorations. Highly recommend.

    My husband told me multiple times that people said we had the best/most beautiful wedding reception they have ever been to and that I did a great job on our wedding! I think the best choice I made was choosing Chandler Hill for my reception venue. I looked at a ton of venues around St. Louis and none had the feel and warmth of Chandler Hill.

    The wedding coordinator Becky was helpful the entire year as I prepared for my wedding. I would shoot her an email about something I was wondering and she would email me back the next day with the answer. I changed my mind multiple times and she was patient and understanding. The night of my wedding the Chandler Hill staff was helpful and accommodating the entire night. The main "cons" of having your wedding reception here is that to hit the drink and food minimum you are probably going to have to have guests OUTSIDE while some guests are INSIDE--and weather in Missouri is not always the best and these guests can feel left out. Also, you only have from 5:00pm-5:30pm to set up your decorations if your reception starts at 6:00pm, and guests start arriving WAY before the reception time so they saw our preparations.

    All in all, however, I would do it all again in a heartbeat. The beauty of the vineyards was incredible and the decor and warmth was exactly my personality.

    We had our wedding and reception at Chandler Hill. It was amazing! We were blessed with perfect weather, so everything was outside with the exception of dinner. Christie Lenox was wonderful to work with! The food and wine were amazing! We had so many guests say it was the best wedding they've been to! I highly recommend doing the fireworks. They're well worth it!!!! That's my best tip.

    Most unique setting. Most accommodating staff. Most amazing food. Our guests had an amazing time, and we could not be happier that we decided to go with this venue even though it was a bit farther drive than other options in Downtown St. Louis or the county!!

    We were married and had our reception at Chandler Hill Vineyards November 2, 2012 and it was PERFECT! Gorgie and Heather were both GREAT! They helped pull all our ideas and wishes together to make our wedding day EVERYTHING we ever wanted! Everyone LOVED the food, honestly we haven't heard one complaint! Heather and Gorgie worked with our band, florist, photographer, videographer, Pastor, family and friends to make sure our day was PERFECT! We will DEFINITELY visit Chandler Hill Vineyards again and HIGHLY RECOMMEND them in the future!

    This is the absolute best place to have a wedding. The staff is wonderful and the venue is one of a kind. There is a decent size wait list to have your wedding here, so if you are engaged or about to be, give them a call!! AMAZING!

    Chandler Hill Vineyards was the number one best choice for my wedding day! I suggest choosing a nice time of the year to have you wedding here as it is a great inside and outside venue. Georgie Busch was so easy to work with and great at responding to emails and phone calls promptly despite how busy she is. Everything went so smoothly at my reception because of her. She was flexible to plan meetings with and provided a great timeline of events for the night, keeping everyone on track. I also recommend taking her recommendations for photographer, band, etc...she knows what works best out there!

    This place is amazing!!!!! When we were looking for a place to get married we fell in love with Chandler Hill. This place is so beautiful and the staff is amazing to work with. They provided anything we wanted and were so great at responding to us. Georgie Busch, Becky Malone and Heather Malone were so great at making sure that everything went perfectly and I cannot thank them enough. You have to go out to see this place! The food was so delicious and usually I hate wedding food, this stuff was GREAT! We had the salmon and steak and both were delicious!

    What an amazing day! Megan Picket (coordinator) went out of her way to make sure our wedding was perfect. They put out our personal decorations which just enhanced the beauty of this venue. The food was so delicious and the service was outstanding! We asked for fireworks thinking there would just be a few...It went on for 10 min. They were beautiful! We were in awe of this beautiful venue and wished the day didn't end so quickly.

    Chandler Hills Vineyard was the perfect choice for our wedding. We wanted a place where we could have a ceremony and reception at the same venue. Their outdoor patio provided a perfect place for our ceremony. The large patio overlooks the vineyards, making it a very lovely scene in late Summer. The indoor portion is one large open space. It is so modern and has separate facilities where the bridal party can dress.
    The wine tastes good! this winery takes some of the best Missouri and Caifornia wines for their menu.
    Lastly, the staff was so helpful and knowledgeable. The facility is fairly new, so they did go through a few personnel changes, but it didn't reflect upon the service at all.
    My entire family had such a great time at the wedding. I would really encourage a vineyard wedding.

    Chandler Hill is a great location for a reception venue. Very classy and modern, with tall ceilings that resemble a cabin of sorts. A little high on price, but we did get the entire space to ourselves. Service was great, and all aspects went smoothly.

    This is a beautiful facility! We loved it! It is a bit pricey. They can be hard to contact and get ahold of, but they were always friendly and good to work with.

    We just had our wedding at Chandler Hill. The location is absolutely beautiful and I love our pictures. The food was also great. That said, they are quite pricey and not very flexible.

    Beautiful Space

    We had a beautiful wedding at this venue, and the space itself deserves all the stars with the capturable photo and video moments of ourselves, friends and family. The backdrop of this space is incredible. The food and drinks are out of this world!! The staff, including Brooke and Alyssa, were nice, accommodating, and helpful in making our day special. However, we wish personally we met Alyssa before the big day so we could run over things as well. We also loved the car, which was fun to drive around and cute for additional photos. However, coordination with other vendors for this venue space was a bit frustrating, as it felt like just another wedding at times, which didn't help communication or setup for our other vendors. Vendors were very frustrated with the bride and groom because of how Chandler Hill ruins their space. Parking was VERY hard for vendors and guests. As well there were some table setup, design, and process instructions that weren't quite followed to how we wanted them and outlined in our meetings with coordination. Sister of the bride had to step in and help fix the space… The bridal suite didn't have anything to drink up there, not even water for the bridesmaids. The firework show also seemed a tad short from what was originally promised as we chose songs that were allotted for the entire 8 minutes, and we barely made it through two. Overall, a lovely and pretty venue with room for improvement. If considering Chandler Hill please keep in mind they don’t open until 11am the day of your wedding and most vendors can’t set up until they close. Overall, we feel like we would have been over the moon if we had more time to spend at our own wedding venue. We just felt very rushed and all over the place once the day began at Chandler Hill.
