I had my wedding reception here at Forest Park Golf Course and everything was exceptional. Tram-anh and her team went above and beyond for my husband and I. As a bride who does not drink, the venue offers several NA options and Tram-anh even had the signature drink made NA for me and it tasted wonderful! I can't thank Tram-anh and the Forest Park Golf Course team enough for the most perfect evening. Food was exceptional as well.

We had a good feeling about having our wedding here from the very first walk through. Lexi did a great job explaining the processes and answering questions. When we finalized this was our place we were assigned our event coordinator, Tram-Anh and she was AMAZING! Her communication, coordination, answering our numerous dumb questions all made her an outstanding and vital piece of our wedding. She even saved us some extra money on a return trip with the florist by going out to the arbor by herself with a step ladder to take florals down to be used in the reception space. I glanced over during the cocktail hour and saw her on the ladder and was so grateful for her. And she has a smile through it all!
We knew we wanted an all-in-one venue and the flow from the ceremony to cocktails to the reception was seamless.
Additionally, everyone at our wedding raved about the food! The bar staff were efficient and friendly. We would recommend this venue over and over again.
Nothing with the word "wedding" attached comes cheap but the full transparency and breakdown on pricing was greatly appreciated.
We don't have the professional photo's yet but if I am able to edit the review I will upload them later. For now I'll attach some from our friends and guests.
Thank you, Tram-Anh and the rest of the team for making our day so special!

We could not have asked for a more perfect reception venue than Forest Park Golf Course, and so much of that comes down to the incredible team behind it.
Our journey began when we ...
toured the venue and met Lexie. From that very first conversation, she made us feel like our vision for the day would truly come to life — and that feeling is exactly what led us to book. Shortly after, we began working with Tram-Anh, and she was nothing short of amazing. She answered every question promptly, made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire planning process, and brought such a positive, reassuring energy to every interaction. We always felt like we were in the best possible hands.
Because of the trust they built with us, we never had to worry about a single thing on our wedding day — we just got to be present and enjoy every moment. And enjoy it we did. The space itself is stunning, the food and beverage service was outstanding, and the flow of the entire evening was seamless. Our guests were blown away.
Lexie, Tram-Anh, and the entire Forest Park Golf Course team went above and beyond our expectations in every way. If you are searching for a reception venue in the St. Louis area that delivers on atmosphere, service, and food — look no further. We are so grateful we chose this special place for our day.

y that from your first tour with Lexi and through every planning conversation with Tram-Anh, you felt supported and confident. That's the experience we hope every couple has, and knowing you were able to simply be present and enjoy your wedding day is the greatest compliment we could ever receive.
Thank you again for trusting Forest Park Golf Course with such an important day in your lives. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness, love, and wonderful memories together, and we'll always be honored to have been a small part of the beginning of your story.

We are thrilled the day flowed seamlessly from ceremony to cocktails to reception and that your guests were raving about the food.
Thank you for trusting our entire team with such an important day. We loved being part of it! Congratulations again!

She was always happy to answer my excessive emails, she loved all of our ideas, and she truly made us feel like everything was handled. My husband and I have repeatedly said over the last year of wedding planning, “I just love her.” If she’s your coordinator, you’re in great hands!!

The staff was friendly, attentive, organized, and genuinely invested in making our celebration memorable from beginning to end. The food was outstanding and received rave reviews from our guests.
Our family & friends felt comfortable, relaxed, and able to truly enjoy the evening together before the wedding, which in turn made our evening enjoyable as the hosts. The experience exceeded our expectations and help create lasting memories.
Thank you for making such an important occasion absolutely perfect!

and make the days leading up to the wedding less stressful. Our coordinator Emma exceeded at this, answering every question and making every request possible. When we had some last minute changes the day before, she was able to accommodate them immediately. The food was wonderful, as well as the flow of the night from the itinerary Emma made. The venue was the perfect size for our 150 guest wedding, and the patio was great for those who wanted to step out for a bit or for kiddos to run around without disturbing others. All in all, we can''t recommend Forest Park enough! They helped our vision come to life!

eate the wedding we envisioned. We could not have done it without her. She was indispensable. She was calm, efficient, kind, responsive and hard working. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail and every minute was perfectly planned and executed.
The food was delicious. We have very picky eaters and drinkers. Tram-Anh helped us with all of our special food and beverage requests and changes. All of our guests were raving about the food. We had the duet seated dinner with steak and chicken. It was amazing. Sides, salad and bread were also excellent.
Tram-Anh and team were very flexible with the menu choices. They handled food allergies carefully.
Forest Park has a challenging policy for vendors on the day of the wedding. They are transparent about it but we didn’t realize how difficult it would be for our vendors. Once again, Tram-Anh worked with us and our vendors to make some draping and lighting considerations a reality even with these time constraints. As she promised, it all worked out.
There were some areas where we felt things were changed after we signed the contract such as decor packages but it may have been something we missed. The fees add up..so if you are considering this venue be sure to read everything and pay attention to the details.

Tram-Anh was our event coordinator and her communication was excellent. She worked so hard to bring the vision to life while keeping within our budget. The tasting was great and carried out so much better than other venues we had heard about. Everything from the signature drink with a specific recipe, to the cocktail hour, the warm chocolate chip cookies, our special toast, the table settings, and the overall ambiance were so lovely. We are still hearing from guests about the champagne wall, the best tenderloin they have ever had, the patio, the staff, the flow of the evening!
We recommend this venue with the utmost confidence!

Where do we even begin? Our entire wedding experience with Forest Park Golf Course was nothing short of amazing, from our very first meeting to the final moments of the reception.
...
Our journey started when we met with Lexi for a tour and package review—she sold us immediately! Her warmth and professionalism set the perfect tone.
Once the contract was signed, we were assigned a Venue Coordinator, Maddie. Maddie was phenomenal. She helped us select every detail and truly brought our vision to life. She was always quick to respond to our many questions, and her feedback and advice were invaluable throughout the entire planning process. She was an absolute dream to work with!
On the day of the wedding, Maddie was truly on top of everything, ensuring our reception timeline flowed perfectly and seamlessly.
Beyond the incredible service, the venue itself is beautiful, and the room looked stunning for our reception. And the food? It was absolutely amazing! We are still receiving compliments almost a week later—people simply cannot stop talking about how great the meal was.
We would pick Forest Park Golf Course again and again, and recommend them endlessly. Thank you, Maddie and the entire team, for making our wedding dream a reality!

Maddie was our venue coordinator and she was very easy to work with! She was always quick to respond and keep us in the loop on things. Another great part of this venue is that they will set up your decorations for you, you just need to drop off your stuff the week before and they will take care of the rest!

d she was so wonderful. Very sweet, organized, answered all of questions that would pop up very thoroughly, and was fantastic in every way the day of. The food and drinks were top tier and have since heard so many compliments on it being “the best meal at a wedding I have ever had.” The ceremony space was beautiful with all of the flowers, greenery, and the water behind- and I loved having all the events of the day at the same location (we had many who traveled in). My vision was executed perfectly and had no reservations leading up to it that it would turn out anything but. Forest Park was unfortunately hit by a tornado just 2 weekends before our wedding and they could not have worked harder to make the outdoor space look as if nothing had just happened. Tram-Anh and her team will make you feel confident and taken care from the planning beginning stages all the way through to your special day. I wish I could relive this day again and again!

We still have guests almost three months later tell us it was the best meal they have had all year! Everyone on staff at Forest Park made us feel like we were family and we had the best day because of them. Our whiskey and tequila tasting on the veranda was also a huge hit!

Forest Park Golf Course is an amazing venue with incredibly hard working and caring staff. Lexi was incredibly welcoming and answered all of our questions during our first tour at ...
the venue. Tram-Anh was an amazing coordinator throughout the whole process. She went above and beyond to make our wedding day just what we wanted and was always available to answer questions or address concerns. We are so glad we had the opportunity to work with her! A week before our wedding, the park and venue were hit by a tornado. We were unsure if our wedding would even be able to take place but the venue contacted us to assure us that they would be able to make things work. Instead of cancelling on us, the team worked incredibly hard to clean up the debris, repair damages, and beautify the space. I cannot thank them enough for all of the work they put in to make our wedding happen despite all of the challenges. We are so grateful that FPGC was able to host our big day and we cannot say enough amazing things about the staff. Their professionalism, compassion, and diligence is top notch!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you and Congratulations again!

r bringing too much decor over! Our coordinator, Tram-anh, was amazing! She communicated well all through the wedding process, and was there to help it run smoothly all night. She kept checking in on us and asking if we needed/wanted anything, which we so appreciated! The wedding day goes so fast, I definitely recommend having a Tram-anh to help it flow smoothly!
The food was AMAZING, and Chef was willing to work with us on a custom menu. We had hot dogs and mini sliders amongst other things, and everyone kept raving about the food all night! If we could get remarried here, we definitely would! Truly a one of a kind night ❤️ Thank you FPGC for everything you guys do!

There are not enough nice things that I could say about this venue! For starters, our coordinator Tram-Anh was amazing! From answering all of my questions to ensuring the venue loo...
ked perfect on the day of, she made planning such a breeze. It was awesome to drop off decor the day before and to have so many elements such as linens, chairs, flatware, etc included in the price and offerings.
However, the wedding day was what blew us away. We received countless compliments on the food with many people saying it was the best wedding food they had ever had. We chose a salmon and steak duet plate, and multiple people complimented how perfectly the steak was cooked which is not an easy feat. Guests also loved the champagne wall upon entering, the complimentary water station, the outdoor space for socializing, and the gorgeous wall of string lights. As the bride, I felt so taken care of by the staff, and really appreciated how they made sure we got to try all of our food including our cake. The staff and service are truly top-tier.
I’m so happy and thankful we chose the space for our St. Louis wedding and recommended to any fried looking for a beautiful space and an stress-free day!!

Review from a seasoned Events and Wedding Planner/Coordinator: Working with the team at Forest Park Golf Club is a breath of fresh air.
Forest Park Golf Club assigns a venue event...
manager to each couple, who works with the couple throughout the lifetime of their planning and is there on the wedding day. We've worked with both Madison and Tram-anh through our couples' wedding days. They are both INCREDIBLE. These ladies are more qualified than the majority of venue managers that I've worked with in the St. Louis area as a coordinator. They allow couples to drop off their decor pieces early, set-up the decor items for them, and so much more. Their professionalism is elevated to another level that speaks volumes about how much they care for a wedding day. When you're on-site the entire staff from back-of-house to servers and bartenders to their catering managers are TOP-TIER and provide a luxury level of service to the guests, but also showed incredible kindness and partnership to their vendors. Their entire team was one unit and I was so consistently impressed by them at every turn. Their food was incredible and their chefs were so much more than overprepared for random last-minute dietary "surprises". As a planner/coordinator that doesn't always see this level of service and partnership at venues, it was a joy to work with them and would choose to work with them time and time again.

My husband and I have nothing but amazing things to say about Forest Park Golf Course. Our wedding this past Saturday was the wedding of our dreams all thanks to Madison!
Madison ...
was so kind to work with and very professional at her job. She was quick with email responses and was extremely flexible with anything we wanted! Madison made sure we were taken care of and made our wedding experience so fun and memorable. She is amazing at what she does and we have nothing but great things to say.
The whole staff worked so hard and we appreciate every one of them! Every staff member was so friendly and did an amazing job accommodating all of our guests!
The food itself was absolutely phenomenal. Guests were raving and still are about how great everything tasted!
The venue itself is unique and beautiful. From floor to ceiling windows, a fireplace, champagne wall, huge outdoor area and the twinkle lights… we fell in love with it all!
Again, we can’t thank Madison enough for the incredible experience! You won’t regret having your wedding at Forest Park Golf Course!

Review from a seasoned Wedding Planner/Coordinator: I cannot recommend Forest Park Golf Course enough! I have worked weddings all over St. Louis (mostly high end) and I was blown a...
way by their attention to detail and customer service. Maddie Massoth was our coordinator from Forest Park and went above and beyond! By far the BEST onsite venue wedding coordinator in St. Louis that I have ever worked with!!! She was more than accommodating by letting the family drop off items prior to wedding day, let us come see the venue multiple times and listened to our every need (with a smile). What really blew me away is that she offered and willingly set up the reception decor for us and didn't miss a single detail! This NEVER happens at venues (normally it is a scramble the morning of) and her doing that was beyond helpful. Maddie is a keeper and going places! Cannot say my praise enough about her! Besides Maddie, the whole staff was on point. Timeline was kept down to the minute. The food was AMAZING. Very high end service, as you would see at Ritz/Art Museum/Westwind Hills...but dare I say maybe even better? Go Forest Park Golf Course!

Forest Park Golf Club as our venue was the best decision we made throughout our wedding process! After touring the venue, we knew that this was the place we wanted to get married. ...
The scenery and venue speaks for itself when you see it, but the behind the scenes work done by the people there (we were lucky enough to work with Tram-Anh, and Lexi) sets this venue apart. They worked so hard to make our big day exactly how we envisioned it. Having our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception all in one place made our day flow so smoothly. The staff couldn’t be more accommodating, and they worked so hard to make sure we and our guests had everything we wanted. We have also been told by many of our wedding guests that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. Thank you so much Forest Park Golf Course and their whole staff for making our wedding perfect!

The food was great, the staff was very helpful and speedy with service, and the cost of the event seemed very reasonable in comparison to many other St. Louis venues.
I would highly recommend Forest Park Golf Course for your day!

This Forest Park venue was perfect! Highlights include:
- Delicious food (We couldn't decide between all the tasty looking options so we went with the buffet and EVERYTHING was so...
good!)
- Beautiful indoor setting with a ton of nature light during the day and then cute string lighting in the evening
- Outdoor seating area (which was great for guests who didn't want to dance / listen to the band inside)
- Super helpful and thoughtful staff
- Easily accessibility: easy to find, park, and get inside

Forest Park Golf Course truly was the right choice for us, and we are so grateful for the memories created in such a beautiful setting. Thank you to everyone involved for making our day so special!

winkle lights on one side and a lovely covered patio on the golf course side. We had 111 guests and were quite comfortable with plenty of room to dance and roam around. There is an open bar and the bartender was quick and the drinks were well made. The food was outstanding with steak and salmon and a pretzel bar at the end of the night! Our coordinator was Maddie and she was very professional and accommodating. She was flexible in meeting with us on short notice and never complained. It was an amazing experience!

r people to execute my vision- once we met with her, I felt fully comfortable and she even sent me photos of the set up prior to the cocktail hour so I could get a peek before my guests arrived.
Everything was exactly as I wanted and envisioned. Everyone has raved about the venue, the indoor/outdoor space, food and staff. Also, the banquet chairs are SO comfortable (hard to come by in a venue) if you want an excellent, elevated, stress free wedding that will wow your guests, Forest Park Golf Course is it.

t that we could make the dream of having our wedding reception in Forest Park come true!
Maddie did more than we could ever have hoped for as our coordinator, helping us with decorating ideas, arranging all of the details, and getting everything set up perfectly on the day of the reception. We made some additions the week of the wedding that the club accommodated seamlessly. They made everything as easy as it could have been.
Our photographer was in an accident on the wedding day (oh no!) which pushed back the timing of the wedding. We arrived later than planned at the reception. Maddie was waiting outside with golf carts so we could immediately dash away for pictures at the Grand Basin- after she made a quick dash into the club to bring out some emergency finger nail tools! And the pictures around the Grand Basin: sunset reflecting on the water behind us… so beautiful!
And the food! The drinks! The service! Everything was absolutely outstanding. Me and my bride never got our own drinks- the servers were frequently asking us for anything we would like. It truly exceeded the dreams we had of what our Forest Park wedding reception could be!

d I fell in love with the huge windows, natural elements, and St. Louis connections. The team was knowledgable, quick to respond, and super easy to work with; we loved working with Madison and are so appreciative of everything she did to make our day run smoothly!
The food was INCREDIBLE. We loved everything at the tasting, and our dinner was highly complemented by our guests. My husband and I love pickles, so we had requested a pickle hummus during the cocktail hour, which the chef was able to custom-make for us. But they also went above and beyond to surprise us with pickle spears too! It was a small detail but meant a lot to us.
With so many available venues in the area, I cannot recommend Forest Park Golf Course enough! It was so beautiful, and the staff made the planning process enjoyable and so easy!

This is a full-service venue. You only have to meet with the wedding planner and they do the rest. I thought we wouldn't be able to afford them--especially after I visited and saw ...
what a beautiful room and view they had--but the Forest Park Golf Course banquet room was only several hundred dollars more than a venue with zero services (where I would have to book a caterer and make bar decisions, rent the tables, linens, china, glassware, plus decorate to make the plain and dull room look even a bit inviting). My nightmare of stress became joy thanks to the staff at the Forest Park Golf Course! They are all wonderful.
