Nestled in Missouri wine country, on a quiet woodland lake, just 10 miles from historic Hermann, Little Piney is your own private estate for the entire weekend. We believe a bride and groom should never feel rushed or shuffled around. Overnight accommodations for you and your wedding party in our luxurious waterfront lodge and cozy log cabin, will leave you pampered, refreshed, and relaxed so you will be able to go slow and make memories that will last a lifetime. Featured in England’s Wedding Magazine, our elegant, nature-inspired atmosphere will have your guests talking about your amazing day for years to come. Whether you chose an outdoor reception under our pavilion or an indoor party in our Fest Room, your wedding can be uniquely customized to reflect you.
John and Julie were great to work with! They were responsive and kind and their team did a wonderful job making our day great! The venue is gorgeous and maintained well. We had a full outdoor ceremony and reception in May 2023. They helped blow leaves and twigs away the morning of the wedding since it rained the night before. The bridal lodge was cozy and had a great view of the gazebo where our ceremony was held. The groom's cabin was sort of hidden away behind the trees which was perfect to retreat to on the wedding night while our families stayed in the lodge. Having everything in one place (rehearsal location, getting ready location, ceremony, reception, and place to sleep) was a game changer. I noticed things went so smoothly with cutting out that travel time. We were ahead of schedule on our day because of this! With this venue away from busy roads and passing cars, it seemed like our own little world and the guests loved that aspect of that as well. Would recommend this venue to anyone!

The best choice we made for our wedding day (besides choosing to marry each other) was choosing to book Little Piney. John and Julie's knowledge of the industry and passion for their couples ensured that we had an incredible weekend. Little Piney is beautiful and offers so much beyond just a location to get married. Being able to stay on the property allowed us to get settled before the big day, and allowed us to relax about details like \"Will I forget to bring something with me to the venue?\"...because we could just run back to our lodges and get it! If you have any hesitation about picking Little Piney, know that doing so will ensure a truly wonderful experience. Reviewed on 26-11-2023

The owners John and Julie treated us like family. We appreciated all of their tips and thoughtfulness that helped execute a beautiful wedding despite heavy rain on our big day! They are the nicest people. All their staff were super helpful too. The venue is gorgeous. Just got our pictures back: a lot of people asked if our photographer photoshopped the skyline---THEY DID NOT! It is naturally that beautiful of a spot in the Hermann countryside. Having everything in one spot helped make our wedding day logistics efficient and uncomplicated. We appreciated the golf carts that transported our elderly relatives and us to and from various spots on the property. We look forward to renting a cabin there on our one year anniversary!

Little Piney Lodge was a dream come true! John and Julie were absolutely amazing with everything and so incredibly helpful! It was the perfect venue and everyone talked about how beautiful it was all night long! While we were there for our final walk through, my fiance asked them if they knew any places that would be playing the football games Sunday morning (our wedding started at 4) and both John and Julie pulled out their phones and started calling places to find out. Its THAT kind of above and beyond stuff that they did throughout the entire process! I would give it 10 stars if I could! Reviewed on 19-10-2023

Very thankful we found Little Piney for our wedding! We toured several places that left us feeling pretty discouraged. Places that were very pushy or made it abundantly clear we needed to get in and out on the day of our wedding because they were flipping it for the next couple. We we’re getting ready to decide on just eloping until we met John and Julie. I’ve watched so many friends become so overwhelmed with the wedding planning process that they end up saying things like “I can’t wait for it to be over.” I never once felt that way. Everything was very straightforward and they were always available to answer questions. With Little Piney you can pick your own vendors, borrow from the decoration closet, and get to spend genuine time with your loved ones over the course of the weekend since they have accommodation on site. Me and my bridesmaids literally got to roll out of bed on the big day and have breakfast while hair and makeup started without getting shuffled all around town. The number one feedback we’ve gotten post wedding is about how wonderful/beautiful/fun our venue was. Loved the entire process and wouldn’t change a single thing! Reviewed on 17-10-2023

Beautiful venue and we had the most wonderful experience here. We had to plan our wedding from a few states away, and we booked this place sight-unseen after doing a virtual meeting with Julie and John. They're wonderfully accommodating, responsive, and so caring. The venue has spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour, indoor reception, and outdoor reception without guests having to travel. They also have \"magic closet\" with a ton of decor options; we did all of our centerpieces from there and saved a lot of money on florals while still looking gorgeous and professional. Best of all, you get the venue from Friday night through Sunday morning, and there are two separate cabins with three bedrooms each for the bridal party. They even include bonfires on Friday and Saturday nights! They are also extremely attentive; it began to threaten rain about 30 minutes into my reception, and they automatically moved everything under the pavilion and setup the DJ underneath a tent without our having to ask. I could not have asked for a better wedding experience, and recommend them enthusiastically! Reviewed on 01-05-2023

So many guests told us they had never been to such a unique venue and complimented us on how well-planned our day was. John and Julie are a dream. They helped everything run so smoothly from making sure a poker surprise for the groomsmen was set up, to loaning us some butter, driving us around the property on golf-carts, locating my extra pair of shoes, and bringing us appetizers from the cocktail hour when we were hungry after all the pictures. The best part was that we were able to rent the venue for Friday-Sunday and the wedding party could stay on-site with us, making it an enjoyable weekend with friends and family instead of simply being a one-day event. They really emphasize how low-stress they want everything to be. We ended up booking them again after our 2021 wedding date was postponed due to the pandemic because we couldn't let go of such a beautiful venue. They have 3 locations for your wedding (a gazebo, a pavilion, and a barn), and are very accommodating in case the weather changes. They allow you to bring in your own caterer/bartender and bring your own alcohol, which helped us keep those costs down. They are the perfect venue for a diy couple.

It all started with an email I wrote them with my vision for the perfect wedding:I am a bride in search of an affordable venue that will be a beautiful backdrop for an Oct 31st evening wedding and reception.Let me set the mood for you below so you get an idea of what we are thinking/hoping for. This will be a classy but “Gothic” style and a formal but untraditional event. I would love to find a venue who are able to accommodate us.The Ceremony:Wearing my handmade deep black satin ball gown dress I am hoping for a torchlit/candlelit isle to walk down outdoors (but realize that indoors might need to be an option in case of bad weather) at dusk under the open sky. My bridesmaids will proceed me in their deep red flowing chiffon gowns holding glowing lanterns in lieu of flowers. At the end of the “isle” would be a lovely decorated archway or gazebo which will frame our vows to each other. Tiny votive lights will twinkle in glass holders hanging from the surrounding trees to add a touch of light for the guests. (Decor can be brought my me if unavailable at the venue)The Reception:Preferably under a covered pavilion outside (but again, weather permitting) black gothic candlesticks adorn the head table with dark red roses and black crystal beading. Tables are lit with candelabra centerpieces and/or stunning black chandeliers hang from the celling offering a warm glow to the dark night. Being served is an array of heavy hors d'oeuvres and drinks from an open bar. A red velvet cake with jet black icing is waiting for the bride and groom on a black draped cake table.This bride and groom would prefer no dance floor because neither care to dance. The ability to play background music as they mingle with guests is all that is needed. Now that this is all floating around in your head…..please let me know if this vision of my dream wedding is a possibility at your venue. - Stacy Lynn EarllAnd wow did they ever deliver. John and Julie gave us the wedding we not only dreamed of, but also gave us so much more we didn't know we wanted or needed! From the beautiful surroundings including a lakeside gazebo where we were married, the two lovely cabins where the groomsmen and Bridesmaids stayed the night before the wedding and where we stayed on the night of the wedding, to the gorgeous open beamed hall with thousands of tiny lights which glittered on the ceiling. Even our dogs were part of the celebration and did not want to leave on Sunday when we checked out. Whatever you can dream, John and Julie will turn that dream into a reality. These amazing people went above and beyond for us, our bridal party, and our guests. We also hired a few of their preferred vendors who were also incredible and made our day unforgettable.

While we were at our rehearsal dinner, they started a fire for the guys and made sure everything we had set-up looked perfect.

First and foremost, they are the absolute best people you could ever dream of having to work with for your wedding. We felt so blessed to have been fortunate enough to work with them. The venue is absolutely stunning. Every detail is tended to throughout the entire weekend and you can tell they are passionate about what they do. They were always so accommodating and flexible, letting us come out several times before our big day to dream and envision exactly how we wanted our day to go. I can’t ever thank them enough for truly creating an environment that made our day so perfect. Reviewed on 02-05-2019
Megan Boecker(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-09-2018 There are not enough wonderful things to say about Little Piney Lodge. It really is a little oasis nestled away from everything. When my fiancée and I were staring our search for venues, we looked at this one in January and it was even snowing that day. When we pulled up we looked at each other and kind of had an idea that this was it. Then we got the full tour and completely fell in love with the venue. It had everything we wanted, mainly an outdoor space but also an indoor space if needed for weather. You could see the beauty of everything even with no leaves on the trees and snow on the ground.We could not have picked a better spot. We constantly hear how much everyone loved the venue and how beautiful it was. People were telling us, out of all the weddings they have gone to it was in the top 3 of amazing places they had seen! My plan was to have everything outside and to dance under the moonlight, but it ended up being a little warmer than I hoped so I decided to move the reception inside for the comfort of our guests. It was still just a beautiful inside as it would have been outside and I loved every moment of my wedding. John and Julie were such a great help and so friendly and down to earth. They were there to help with anything and so accommodating and willing to help with our ideas we had to make the day special and unique to us. What's even better is that they have the lodge on premise to stay in. It was so nice to stay there the night of our wedding and continue the fun with our wedding party. My husband and I can not rave enough about this place! If we could do it all over again, we would and would choose Little Piney again! Reviewed on 31-10-2018

Little Piney Lodge = heaven on earth. John and Julie's home is a little slice of paradise tucked in Hermann, MO that you and your guests will never forget. Rather than just a 4 hour event rental, couples are welcomed onto their property for a full weekend of relaxation and celebration, hiking and fishing and swimming and dancing and toasting and making memories with those closest to you. The Lodge and the smaller cabin (where the wedding party stays) are both decorated so nicely and are the epitome of cozy, with gorgeous views of surrounding nature. Music coming from speakers in the trees welcomes you the moment you drive onto their property and their kind and helpful staff including JJ themselves make you feel at home and like you're the only couple on their minds all weekend. They work hard and you can tell they have fun while doing it. They're some of the nicest people I have ever met. Bottom line: a wedding at Little Piney is not \"just a wedding\"...it's an incredible experience unlike anything else. Reviewed on 19-10-2018

After we took the tour, we were sold. Little Piney Lodge is out of this world beautiful. Our guest could not get over the location and scenery that Little Piney provided. And to top it off, John and Julie are by far the best in the business. They will help to make your dreams come true by accommodating your every need. They are extremely professional, yet at the same time by the end of the weekend you feel like you've been friends with them forever. Little Piney is truly a magical place to have your wedding and it comes with the best accommodations. Look no further for you perfect outdoor wedding or barn wedding.

Mercedes Klein(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-06-2018 The hospitality, kindness, generosity, and support John and Julie have is remarkable! The venue was beautiful and sold itself alone, but having such a wonderful team to help you along the way beyond meets all expectations! Leading up to the wedding day, I was the typical bride - worried something would go wrong, stressed the weather would not hold out, and thinking it was all going to be unorganized and chaotic. However, the moment I got to the property on Friday afternoon, I immediately was overwhelmed with such calmness. It was the strangest feeling (especially because I am so Type A when it comes to planning parties/events), but vibe at Little Piney quickly becomes contagious. The beautiful property along side John and Julie's calming personalities makes it so easy to know right away that everything is going to be okay and whatever happens they got it. Julie told my husband and I so many times that she will take care of anything we need and her and John fell nothing short of that. The weather held out last minute for us and they were quick to more the cocktail to the barn and the reception to the pavilion without hesitation or issues. I have no idea how they do it all! So many of our family and friends told us during the wedding and weeks after that it was the best wedding they have ever been to and I know that none of that would have been possible without John and Julie. I honestly have no idea if anything went wrong the day of because they took care of all the logistics and issues that probably did come up. They let my husband and I focus only on enjoying our day together with the people we love most. We want to relive this day over and over again because it was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much John and Julie for making the day our dream. Reviewed on 04-07-2018

Courtney Hebrank(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-09-2017 Little Piney, put plain and simple, is home. John and Julie moved heaven and earth to give my husband and I the wedding of our dreams, and a dream it was. After a long day of venue shopping we finally made it to Little Piney and we knew immediately it was the perfect place for us to be married. Every detail about the wedding followed suit and we had the most amazing “camp” themed lakeside soiree. Four months later our guests are still commenting on the venue and how it was the most relaxing and welcoming wedding they have ever attended. John and Julie make Little Piney—they are relaxed, easy going and willing to do whatever you need. Poor John helped my mom hang glitter covered stars and signs in the woods for over an hour, he helped the farm house table delivery men set everything up according to my floorplans and ran around doing this and that for two full days! Julie took over all the little details that I couldn’t get to on the wedding day, made sure we always had good music playing as we set up and was the most gracious hostess you could imagine. Having the wedding party on site for the whole weekend was amazing and I can’t imagine doing it any other way. We had our rehearsal dinner in the barn, the ceremony by the lake and the reception in the upper pavilion with dancing under the stars. There are no words to describe the magic of this place—do not hesitate to book as they fill up so fast! I wish I could give them a million stars. Reviewed on 09-01-2018

Welcomed us for visits to plan & dream for our big day & from the moment we stepped onto their property for our wedding weekend, we felt like family.

I can't sing their praises enough. I wished I had more than just the weekend on the property because it's beautiful and there is so much to see in so little time. I would recommend this venue to anyone, especially those who love outdoor weddings. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful spot. A huge bonus with this place is that we didn't even have to spend a dime on decorations.

John Busch(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-04-2017 I had my wedding on March 25th 2017. Little Piney was easily the most affordable venue for the things provided. The lodging is beautiful and comfortable. They even made accomendations for the rain we had on our wedding day. The owners bend over backwards to make sure you have what you need. They make it clear that they want you to enjoy your wedding as much as they enjoy being able to help people. John and Julie are probably the greatest people I've ever met. Not only are they friendly but they are caring. We had a medium sized wedding and they will cart people around the property pretty much all day and empty out trash faster than people can fill the trash cans. They also do a great job of being there for you but also stay out of the way and let the wedding happen naturally. I've never seen two people work as hard as them. Their land is beautiful and they know the ins and outs of where makes great wedding photos. They have a gazebo, pavillion and barn. Take your pick of where you want the ceremony or reception. We had the property from 12 on friday until 11 on sunday which for the price we paid is INSANE. We found many beautiful venues for nearly twice the price for only 6 hours but none were as beautiful as Little Piney. There was little NO pressure from John and Julie. They have a few rules to follow but its all just to preserve the property. They provide as much support as they can and even set up for you if needed. They have many amneties to make life easier in the planning as well. My dj couldnt make it to the wedding and we still were able to hook up our phones to their system and were our own DJs. It really was just a pleasant experience. I could write a thousand pages on how much I loved having my wedding at little piney but if I were to sum it up in a few words. I'd say perfect. Everyone at the wedding loved the venue. They told us we had the most relaxed wedding they have even been too. Thank you so much John and Julie. I'm glad my new wife Lindsay and me share the same anniversary as you guys. Congrats and I hope your business continues to bloom like the love you giys share with each other and your beautiful property. Charge more! People will pay it for such a beautiful property and for the amount of time you give I'm surprised it wasn't nearly 20,000$ to rent your property. Once again.

They helped wherever they could, and my guests loved their hospitality. I loved the fact that we could stay from Friday at 11 AM to Sunday until 11 AM. It really took the stress out of running around frantically for one day, trying to set everything up. We had our set-up, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and after-party all at Little Piney, and because they have so many different areas for you to customize your wedding and where you want to have it, for most of those events we were in a different part of the venue each time. It was simply amazing. My day was stress free and is now one of the best memories of my life, which is something I don’t think a lot of brides can say because the day usually is so stressful!

Renee Smith(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-12-2017 This venue was amazing. The views were absolutely beautiful, the grounds were perfect, and the owners, John and Julie, could not have been more helpful and pleasant to work with. Any glitch that popped up, Julie was there to help resolve, and they offered many helpful hints and decorations to make the day just perfect! The groomsmen and bridesmaids were able to stay in the lodge and cabin located on the venue grounds, which meant no one had to worry about them driving after the celebration ended. I would definitely recommend Little Piney for anyone who loves the outdoors and wants amazing scenery on their special day! Reviewed on 11-10-2016
Jessica Archer Olwig(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-05-2016 We got married here last weekend (05-07-16) and everything was absolutely amazing! This is seriously a DREAM venue! Our wedding party was able to stay on the property with us in the log cabin nestled in the woods or in the main lodge! John and Julie are genuinely invested in making your stay as relaxing as possible! They were so accommodating with every little detail! We held our rehearsal dinner in the Festhov Barn, our ceremony at the gazebo on the lake and our reception in the open-air pavilion! We spent the mornings canoeing across the lake, the afternoons swimming and fishing and the evenings BBQing! All while taking in the breathtaking views of this property! All 200 guests were so impressed and are still buzzing about the \"best wedding venue they have ever been to.\" All of this at such a reasonable price for the ENTIRE weekend! There are no venues that even compare to Little Piney in the greater Midwest area! (I looked!) Any other place will charge you 10 times more and give you half the time and amenities! I could go on forever about the amazing landscape for pictures, the cute bridge through the woods between the cabin and lodge (perfect for a first look!), the sounds of the waterfall as you walk down the aisle, the dance floor under the stars, the spacious lodge for gathering with family and getting ready for your big moment, and the wonderful Moss family that makes you feel at home! We will be forever grateful that John and Julie made our WILDEST DREAMS come true! You should get married here! You will not regret it! Please feel free to contact me with any questions about my experience! Reviewed on 10-05-2016
Andrew Bellinghausen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-04-2016 Amazing weekend! John and Julie helped with EVERYTHING which made the entire weekend perfect. With living 3 hours away from Little Piney I had a lot of questions and John and Julie were very quick to respond to help ensure our wedding was perfect. When the DJ and Caterer showed up I didn't have to worry about telling them where to set up because it was already taken care of. The venue is absolutely beautiful and it was nice having the bridesmaids and groomsmen on the property. Last minute we decided to have reception inside and John and Julie were quick to make the change for us. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding!! Reviewed on 07-04-2016
Anonymous (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-05-2015 I couldn't have imagined a better place for our wedding. From the moment we toured the site, we knew we found our venue. Little Piney is beautiful, peaceful, and serene, and it has great Plan B options for rain or extreme weather. \r\rOn our wedding weekend, for just a nominal extra fee we arrived at Little Piney on Thursday evening. We were able to set up for Saturday's reception on both Thursday and Friday. This gave us plenty of time on Saturday to relax and enjoy the day. John and Julie were there to help with anything we needed throughout the entire weekend and were an incredibly nice and hospitable family. They thought of ways to help us before those needs even occurred to us. \r\rEveryone who attended the wedding was amazed with the venue and had a great time. Our family and friends, and especially my husband and I, highly recommend Little Piney. We might even go back to stay the weekend in one of their cabins. The place is a gem. Reviewed on 12-11-2015
Anonymous (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-10-2015 Little Piney Lodge was perfect for or dream rustic/western Wedding. The whole Wedding venue is just beautiful. We used the Barn for our reception, it was perfect since it was a little chilly that night. John and Juile are truly helpful and kind people. They will go above and beyond to make your dream wedding come true. And were always there to help answer any questions we had. It's a very neat venue to have Weddings at. We're truly blessed we found such a great place and owners. Thank You John, Julie, and Little Piney Lodge. Reviewed on 28-10-2015
Anonymous (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-06-2015 I don't even know where to start! My former classmate was married here and after seeing her pictures I was sold. I knew this was the place for us; I wanted somewhere where the ceremony and reception were both held. What we ended up getting was more than we could have ever expected. John and Julie are astonishing; as I am typing this up I get teary eyed remembering all of the gracious things they did for not only myself, but for everyone. The month of my wedding was apparently hurricane season and it rained for two weeks leading up to our day, our wedding day the sun was shining and it was absolutely beautiful! The whole morning John was out side working on the pathway; blowing off water so I would not get wet walking down. We lost my pot for our unity tree and Julie went and made us a burlap bow to cover up the \"ugly plastic pot.\" It was unexpected and our of Julie's job description but it was those little things that eased our day. We also had our shuttle service just leave us, so John is helping the dads call around to find another shuttle service to help us out. With that disaster going on that led us to our ceremony being an HOUR late; yes I know ridiculous. With that being said I was upset, this meant I would have a very short ceremony for all of these people who came from all over for us...well that was not the case. I don't even think my dad finished asking them if our ceremony could be extended an hour before they said yes, of course. It wasn't even a question for them. They saved our day in so many ways; we got to spend our wedding day with the best people we could have imagined. John and Julie went out of their way to help us, not being they had to but they wanted to. They are extraordinary people and I would recommend their venue to anybody. We were truly blessed finding this venue and having such accommodating people. Reviewed on 22-10-2015
Amanda Walker(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-09-2015 I'm thrilled that we found Little Piney Lodge for our wedding venue. Little Piney is set in a beautiful valley, and we had our choice between indoor or outdoor venues for both the ceremony and reception. It was incredibly convenient to have both events at one site, and also to have basically the run of the place from Friday until Sunday. \r\rThe venue itself is beautiful, and since the weather cooperated we were able to hold our events outdoors. There are two lodges each with three bedrooms that our wedding party and family stayed in (included in the cost of booking). Being able to wake up and be where you are supposed to be really streamlined our last-minute preparations. \r\rJohn and Julie were fantastic hosts, and incredibly accommodating. They had all tables set up for the number of guests we expected, hooked up the sound system for our use, decorated the wedding gazebo and benches for guests, and as our guests arrived and left, they used on-site golf carts to transport guests from and to the parking lot. Also, they recommended the caterer and ice supplier we used, and provided information about nearby hotels for our out-of-town guests. Reviewed on 22-09-2015
Hannah Lawson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-08-2015 I cannot stress enough how thankful I am to have found Little Piney Lodge for our big day. We wanted a rustic country venue not too far outside of St. Louis. Affordability was a big point for us as well as atmosphere. We held our ceremony and reception at Little Piney with a social hour in between held in the barn. We also took all of our wedding photos on property, no need for transportation and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. John and Julie, the owners, helped us with all sorts of details from decorations to set up to rentals and were always available to answer questions. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue looked. Although the weather was beautiful on the day of the wedding, we also had a backup plan on the property in case of rain, which relieved a lot of stress! Reviewed on 18-08-2015
Sammie Price(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-10-2014 We found Little Piney Lodge on the Hermann Wedding Trail and it was the most perfect venue for our wedding. They have indoor and outdoor options, which came in handy because we ended up moving our reception indoors, due to the cold, and I'm so thrilled we did! The Festiv Hof barn is just beautiful. The staff at Little Piney are super responsive and are on site all weekend, to help wherever they can. The on site lodging is spectacular and we couldn't be more excited with how the wedding turned out. Reviewed on 21-10-2014
Marty Rubin(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-05-2013 Little Piney Lane is a gorgeous place to have your wedding. Be prepared for a lot of work though, it's an a la carte venue so you will have to bring in all your vendors, decorations, liquor, etc. Very affordable, might think about hiring a wedding planner to help with all the details!
