We had our wedding at The Cheshire on 10/14/23 and it was absolutely perfect! Jessica is very easy to communicate with, especially the last few weeks leading up to the big day. The venue itself is honestly beautiful, this is a hidden gem in St. Louis! Don't miss out, seriously all of our guests were commenting on how beautiful our wedding was. Also all of the food was outstanding, which was important to us. The fact that you can have a wedding and then walk across the parking lot to get to the hotel is an added bonus, we ended up partying afterwards at The Fox & The Hound which was so much fun!

Our wedding was BEAUTIFUL!!! My husband and I saw real potential in this location!

Anne Laschober(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-09-2021 We used the Cheshire for our hotel block for our wedding. Stephanie was great to work with and made the process super easy! Our guests loved the unique hotel and their rooms. If you stay here on your wedding night, make sure you check in before the reception. We arrived at the hotel, exhausted after a full day of festivities, only for the receptionist to be MIA for 20 minutes. Other than that we were super happy with it! Reviewed on 22-10-2021
Autumn B(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-05-2021 This sure is a beautiful venue, but we had so many issues with our wedding weekend, almost too many too count. The day before my wedding I had a $1500 charge from the Cheshire when my room was supposed to be $150- I was told that the people at the front desk were new and it was a \"mistake\". Day of the wedding, multiple people could not check into there rooms till about 6PM and were told that they were not ready yet, all while receiving extremely poor service from the front desk. People were given wrong keys to rooms (that had people in them) the AC went out in multiple rooms, and a few of our guests car's were broken into at night (windows smashed). Two weeks after my wedding, my MIL received a $5000 charge on her credit card, and they explained this was a mistake and they \"accidentally\" charged all events for that week on her card. This place needs some serious improvement with customer service as well as the hotel in general. Reviewed on 10-06-2021

Tom Reagan(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-06-2020 Sarah and the crew at the Cheshire were phenomenal! With COVID delaying our initial plans, they stepped up to be accommodating and excelled at making our wedding day one we will always remember even though it was about 15% the original size. Even when we arrived an hour late for the reception, because of pictures, Sarah and staff had everything in place like we were right on time. I can't thank the Cheshire crew enough. Everyone had a blast, and the space is wonderful. Thank you again for all that you did and will recommend the Cheshire anytime somebody asks us for a recommendation! Reviewed on 09-07-2020
Angie Ruffino(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-05-2020 I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience with Sarah and the staff at The Cheshire. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was nothing short of stressful, but Sarah was extremely communicative and supportive (while also ensuring safety) the whole way. The reception was modified but essentially felt exactly how we planned. We also ended up having our rehearsal dinner at their space - which was a last minute request that they happily took on! The food was phenomenal and the staff were so friendly. Sarah and her staff made the night feel absolutely perfect. Highly recommend Sarah and The Cheshire. Reviewed on 06-06-2020
Maurice Gibson(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-12-2019 I want to give the highest marks possible to the Cheshire Inn; both for the Inn (and its accommodations ) and the wedding ceremony and reception venue. From the beginning of our association, Hanna for the Inn and Sarah for the ceremony/reception were a pleasure to work with, both in the initial coordination and the execution. Each provided helpful hints and guidance throughout. The staff at the Inn (a true gem) were always helpful, caring and considerate. Sarah and the staff working the reception were unbelievable in the manner they converted the ceremony setup into a first class reception venue. The service they provided during the reception/meal was exceptional. The wedding and reception was a huge success; everyone enjoying it. We received quite a few wonderful comments from our guests and they are due, in large part, to the Cheshire and its stellar support staff. I would recommend the Cheshire without question.

Edwina Cooper(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-08-2020 Don't market yourselves as event space if you don't want to host events. My fiancee and I called last week to schedule a viewing of the Cheshire's event space as we search for a wedding venue. The person who answered the phone seemed baffled I would ask for such a thing and transferred me to a manager who seemed equally unprepared and/or unwilling to take my call. But they did allow me to schedule a two o'clock appointment to tour the event space.When my fiancee and I arrived, there was no one to greet us and the signage about the front desk was confusing. When we found the front desk, there was no record of the appointment I had made and the manager I had spoken with could not be contacted by any of the employees, despite numerous attempts. We were told to wait and \"someone would be with us soon.\" We waited for half an hour with my fiancee leaning on a cane the entire time due to a recent back injury. Though we saw many staff members pass us, not one of them offered to help my fiancee with her obvious discomfort. Only the receptionist at the front desk was helpful, as she tried multiple times to contact the manager I had scheduled an appointment with who clearly had forgotten or did not care to communicate this appointment with any of her staff. Another manager passed us, but rather than show us the event space himself, he attempted to contact the missing manager, but only after obtaining Starbucks. He also neglected to offer any assistance to my fiancee. After 40 minutes we finally left without being shown the space that we had scheduled a week prior to see. Aside from the receptionist, none of the staff was helpful or attentive to our needs. I can only assume from these other glowing reviews that this was an off day for the Cheshire but that is no excuse. No one should be made to wait 40 minutes for a prior appointment while in pain. Needless to say, I cannot recommend them and will not be using their services at this or any other time. Reviewed on 27-07-2019

She was able to arrange a tasting the same afternoon we met with her. The chef, Ryan, did an outstanding job and we were really sold on going with the full wedding package after the tasting. The space is lovely and really doesn't need any decoration, and the whole planning process was very simple because of how organized and accommodating Sarah and Ryan were.
