Seven Gables Inn Reviews
Jill Hanna(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-10-2022 I want to start by saying the wedding day itself and the entire wedding weekend were absolutely perfect. It was the most beautiful venue and exactly how I wanted it to be. It was so nice to have the ceremony and reception all in one location. The hotel rooms were beautiful. The heated toilet seats were the star of the weekend. Dawn was an absolute joy all weekend. She was so fun, kind, and hilarious. She even danced with us!Jennifer was there making sure everything went perfectly. She was calm and professional and I really appreciated her being there. The waiters and bartenders were wonderful. Everyone was so kind and attentive. The food was also wonderful. The steaks were giant and cooked perfectly. My very picky aunt said it was the first time she ever had a hot meal at a wedding. I know it can be hard when there are so many people but they somehow made sure every meal was hot. Joey did an especially good job attending to our guestsâ needs. The day itself was perfect, beautiful, and everything we could have wanted.With that being said, the planning process itself was stressful. We had four different venue coordinators since we booked. I was not notified each time there was a change and only found out I was working with someone new when I reached out myself. There was not a good organizational system in place to make sure we stayed updated when there were changes. I want to give some specifics about my experience with Shaelyn - the most recent coordinator - for future brides. Some of the changes were totally out of her control, which I understand. However, she was not organized or professional in dealing with these challenges. I reached out to Shaelyn about 3 weeks before the event and was told she would âflagâ my email because she had four huge events coming up. This made me feel like our wedding wasnât a priority. She was increasingly unresponsive as the event got closer. I reached out on September 20th to make sure all of the details were in place for our October 1st wedding. They were not. My wedding coordinator had sent several emails to Shaelyn prior to this to set up a meeting but did not get a reply until I reached out on the 20th. During this meeting, Shaelyn was in Mexico on vacation. She was in the lobby of her hotel during our Zoom call. She seemed flustered and told me again during that meeting that they were behind. She did not have a good grasp of what we wanted on that day and told me during the meeting the hand written notes in our file were hard to read. While she later said she was just confirming details, that is not how the meeting seemed. She was asking me questions about details Iâd discussed months prior. Not confirming. I left that meeting in tears. Management quickly stepped in when I voiced my concerns to make sure everything was perfect. They also gave me a discount. I appreciate everyoneâs efforts and make these comments about my experiences with Shaelyn only so future brides can be aware. We had our own wedding coordinator and I do feel that is essential in working with this venue. There were some growing pains as the Marriott took over. However, almost all of the staff went above and beyond to make sure the day was perfect. It was a beautiful wedding and exactly what we wanted. Reviewed on 04-10-2022
Krista Oliver(other)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-06-2022 This venue was an absolute nightmare to work with. It felt very short staffed, the staff was not professional AT ALL, they had no uniforms on and were so rude to guests. They told a guest at dinner to, \"Stop bitching if I am serving you your food.\" Steak was well done and chewy. Food was sub-par at best. It was way better at the tastings and completely overcooked at the wedding. Jennifer the coordinator is absolutely incompetent at her job and should not be in the hospitality industry. She had specific, detailed directions from the bride regarding the ceremony timing logistics, table set up, and reception set up for everything that was written down on paper. Jen did not listen one bit to any of it. She coordinated the ceremony the way she wanted to, not the way the bride wanted it to run. She told everyone to stand up when at the ceremony when that wasn't what the bride wanted, she didn't que the officiant to make announcements before it started to turn off phones, guests were standing around 30 seconds before the bride went down the aisle, the seating chart was a mess because she put the wrong numbers at dinner tables, and overall was no help. We tried to get the bartenders to dim the lights for the reception/first dance and it took them 10 minutes to figure out how to do it - completely missing the mark. They were rude serving guests and were getting very basic drinks wrong. (i ordered a dirty shirley and they gave me a dirty martini). The front desk people were always MIA and never at the front desk kiosk. Trying to find staff the whole weekend was so hard. Not to mention they gave away the bridal suite to somebody else, even though we booked it 9+ months ahead of time. They gave us a tiny room to get ready in that had no places to do hair and makeup and told us we could change rooms IN THE MIDDLE OF HAIR AND MAKEUP. They have a strict 11pm noise ordinance and you cannot be loud after that time. All in all - DO NOT BOOK unless you want to stress out all weekend. Reviewed on 14-06-2022
Jenifer Ashbrook(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-09-2021 After a long wait, we finally received our refund from this location due to our ceremony not being held here. We appreciate the assistance we finally received. Reviewed on 22-10-2021
Tara McIntyre(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-10-2021 I realize that itâs a total cliche to say that your wedding day was perfect but Iâm going to say it anyway. Our wedding day went off without a single hitch due to the hard work and care of Jonna and the rest of the staff at Seven Gables Inn. We cannot stop raving about how well the whole day went. Having our wedding at the inn was seriously the best decision we could have made. Our guests told us how much they loved the convenience of staying onsite and not having to worry about transportation and the accommodations and food were excellent. For my husband and I, it was so nice to be able to get ready with our wedding party in their fancy, updated rooms and simply come downstairs to the courtyard for our ceremony. We highly recommend this venue for STL engaged couples wanting an intimate wedding. We originally booked with the previous coordinator a year and a half before our date, but in the months leading up to our wedding we met with his replacement Jonna, and we were blown away at how good she was. We instantly knew we were in the most capable hands. The lady is an honest-to-goodness wizard at event coordinating - she walked us through every step of the way, from the menu tasting to making decor choices, to explaining all the costs and what was covered in our package. The day of the wedding flowed seamlessly because Jonna and the rest of the staff were so on it. They are seriously the best. Jonna is an absolute boss who gets stuff done, but she also really seems to care about her brides and grooms - she even got on the dance floor with us to tear it up and hugged us goodbye before she took off for the night. Jamie with her creative self-invented cocktails - the night before our wedding, we dubbed her drink âthe Jamieâ and told all our guests to order it. Benjamin - singing Thriller with me in the hallways and cutting it up on the dance floor. We love that the staff was having so much fun along with us and our guests - we will always cherish those memories. Thank you SGI for our amazing wedding experience! Reviewed on 20-10-2021
Kristina Babayan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-10-2021 My now husband and I couldnât be happier with our choice to have our wedding ceremony and reception at Seven Gables Inn (SGI) last weekend! Jonna, the sales manager/event coordinator, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was responsive to all emails, provided suggestions, and it was clear that she cared and wanted to make sure we had a special day. Even though it rained on our wedding day, SGI was able to accommodate our 60 guests indoors for both the ceremony and the reception. The food was absolutely delicious! Some of our guests even commented that it was some of the best wedding food they have ever had! We got an extra bartender for our open bar and both bartenders were fantastic! Our out of town guests who stayed at the Inn enjoyed their stay and raved about the newly renovated rooms. Seriously a huge thank you to the entire SGI team for helping create such a memorable day! We recommend SGI for any smaller event or wedding. They will not disappoint. Reviewed on 08-10-2021

Brian Patton(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-06-2020 We couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome of our wedding at Seven Gables Inn on June 28, 2020. Since our initial visit to the Inn and meeting with Jason ( Wedding Planner ), we decided that this was the place for us. It has a beautiful outside courtyard (where we did our nuptials) and multiple rooms inside that all had their own unique ambiance that was perfect for our day. The staff, under Jason's attention to detail, did not disappoint. From the food to the drinks everything was outstanding. We heard numerous compliments throughout the day of how nice everything was. During Covid, we certainly had our challenges, but things could not have been better. I would highly recommend Seven Gables Inn and Jason was the quintessential professional and will see to it that your wedding will be as good as ours Reviewed on 17-07-2020
J T(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-06-2020 Seven Gables Inn did a phenomenal job of hosting a wedding dinner for us and our family! We originally planned a May wedding, but postponed due to coronavirus. Once STL began lifting restrictions, we rescheduled for June and sought a venue to have small, but safe, gathering to celebrate. SGI was the perfect choice. Their Gables Room was perfect. We had plenty of room to cut our small wedding cake, enjoy dinner, and then cut the rug. SGI staffâs service was amazing. They took care of our family with the utmost degree. The staff took care of us as if the celebration was their own. Jason, the Sales Manager & Event Coordinator, went the extra mile in preparing for our event and ensuring all of our guests were taken care of. (We wish Jason and his bride the best for their upcoming wedding!). My mother will always remember Chris mixing a special drink just for her. Dinner was excellent. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The inn was recently renovated, giving a beautiful backdrop for our celebration. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Staying at the inn after our celebration was ideal. Everyone enjoyed the courtyard at the end of the evening. We cannot say enough good things about how Seven Gables Inn made our day the best it could be. For couples looking for a small wedding or reception venue that will make their day memorable, Seven Gables Inn is a perfect choice. Reviewed on 05-07-2020
Sarah Kistenmacher(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-05-2020 Our journey with Seven Gables Inn was one for the books. We originally found them when they had a new transition team and had just begun their renovations in 2019. Even then we fell in love with the charm of the building. Our vision was an old European inspired venue with a quaint courtyard, and the Seven Gable Inn fit the bill. Then we met Jason in late 2019 when he joined the team and we could finally take a deep breath and knew we were in good hands. He shared our vision of an intimate wedding, and really tailored everything to what we were looking for. Fast forward to 2020, and my husband and I thought our wedding plans were over. We reached out to Jason and discussed our options throughout the COVID-19 closures. We knew we didn't want to reschedule our ceremony and Jason kept us posted on what we were able to do with local guidelines. We were able to still have our ceremony with our closest family and friends. Jason was able to make the courtyard feel cozy while making sure everyone was able to socially distance themselves. Our day, although not what we originally planned, turned out more wonderful than I could've imagined. I wouldn't have changed anything. Thanks Jason for making us feel special and rolling with all of the challenges we faced together! Reviewed on 21-06-2020
