Being a transplant from Los Angeles, I was looking for the most “St. Louis” place to have a wedding that would be unique for not only my out-of-town guests, but also something diff...erent for my bride’s local family and friends. The Anheuser-Busch Outdoor Biergarten knocked it out of the park! Providing, not only an absolutely gorgeous venue for the ceremony and reception, but also a distinctive experience that you just can’t find anywhere else. We also added the full-bar option for guests who wanted to have cocktails instead of beer/AB products. Then, in addition to bringing a Clydesdale out for guest/wedding party photos, the brewery offered complimentary tours to all guests in the cocktail hour between the ceremony and reception – that was a big hit with the guests!
The other key-factor that you just can’t get anywhere else is the brewery’s Senior Event Coordinator, Heather. Heather just made it ALL happen – and that’s putting it mildly. We didn’t hire an official coordinator, but took Heather’s advice on DJ, Officiant, Rehearsal Dinner location, and a few other miscellaneous details. All her recommendations were easily the best choices, and we could not have been happier. And then during wedding week, my bride worked closely with Heather on decorations and finalizing details. Heather always made herself available to us and was very responsive to all our questions. The actual wedding day, of course, was a different set of details on a whole other level. Heather handled everything with such grace, she made it look effortless – which, in turn, eased all of our anxieties, allowing us to actually enjoy our own wedding and spend that much needed time with our guests, and each other. And in addition to Heather, the entire staff, including bartenders, servers, and auxiliary staff were all expectational, to say the least!
And finally, having the wedding at Anheuser-Busch also allows for great Groomsman, Best Man, Ring Bearer, etc. beer-related gift ideas. On top of that, we ordered Anheuser-Busch tasting glasses engraved with our wedding date & AB logo as wedding favors for all guests. It’s only been a month and we already want to renew our vows just so we can hold another event at the Anheuser-Busch Outdoor Biergarten.
