Boo Cat Club is a wedding venue located in St. Louis, MO. The refurbished historical site is brimming with architectural details to enthrall. The team enjoys organizing events where loved ones can mingle at an occasion that strikes the imagination and leaves a lasting impression. A fun and fascinating venue, couples are spoiled for choice when it comes to how they curate their one-of-a-kind event.
The building that Boo Cat Club occupies used to be home of the St. Louis Artists’ Guild and Louis C. Spierling was the architect. Initially, the building served as a support for the arts in the local community. Constructed in 1908, a theater was added in 1916. From this stage, productions from many genres were performed, including those by famed Tennessee Williams. Transformed into a non-profit from 1973 to 2013, the current owners Patrick and Carol Schuchard then purchased the property. Renovating the building while preserving the antique charms, the team created a modern ambience with a historic twist.
Perhaps you are looking for a traditional ballroom to host your nuptials. Boo Cat Club offers one such space that has an art-gallery style. The tall ceiling converges into a glass skylight for a cultivated feel. Another event space can be found in The Catacombs. White walls in the room are complemented by the sophisticated chandeliers. Elegant arches throughout reveal the history of the building. Also available for gatherings is the theater, a modern space that can be a template for a multitude of styles. To complete the cultured air of the venue, guests will find a baby grand piano. There are also lounges with fireplaces to have your guests feeling they should be sipping cocktails while discussing the latest bestseller. Bar staff is employed to provide these delectable drinks. An event manager assists with your use of the space. The devoted employees work with you to translate your ideas into a happening to remember.
My husband and I got married on 10/7/2023 at Boo Cat Club.The two stars are for the physical location. It’s truly a unique space and a cool way for a wedding venue to host a ceremony and reception, while still feeling like you’re in different spaces. The rentals they offer are beautiful, and we got so many comments on how beautiful our wedding was.However, unfortunately that’s the end of our positive experience.In terms of the venue itself, there are a lot of additional costs and limited hours that make it kind of a pain to plan a full wedding. The area itself, although restored, isn’t that well kept when you really take a look – the ballroom floors are scuffed heavily and the outdoor foliage is not taken care of.We also had issues with the coordinators that were provided through Boo Cat when it came to communication. In the summer, our coordinator left Boo Cat and we were not informed – the only way we knew we had a new coordinator was two months later when I figured it out from my caterer and then emailed the right person trying to schedule a venue visit. Then, we found out the person who was our new coordinator wouldn't even be our day of coordinator.Then, we had concerns the day of the wedding. First, my husband was kicked out of the groom’s lounge two hours early because Brenden the manager had told catering they could set up there – the day of coordinator Marissa didn’t advocate for my husband when she realized what had happened, but rather put his and his party’s stuff in a closet and he was left wandering the building until the ceremony. We did receive a refund from Boo Cat for this error.In addition, 6 of the cars parked by Boo Cat’s complimentary valet service were broken into at 4:30pm across the street from the venue. We completely recognize that this was a crime, and that it has not happened in the past at Boo Cat per their reports. Additionally, we recognize the valet is a separate entity.However, the way the situation was handled felt as though we were being bamboozled, honestly. Our guests were told the valet company would cover it, but then were told Boo Cat was responsible because they declined security options with the valet. Then, come Monday morning, Amy from Boo Cat says that they aren’t responsible and rather than advocate for us to communicate with the valet company, they simply said that was all they could do. they require in their contract that our vendors have liability insurance to cover any damages, and yet their valet company didn’t seem to have that and Boo Cat “didn’t have coverage” in their own insurance.Throughout all of this, Boo Cat never was proactive in helping us- Marissa didn't help with a thing that night, and we had to reach out to Brenden. We received a refund for “issues with the venue”, but none of the information we actually needed to rectify this for our guests like insurance information and the valet contract that we requested. Amy also made us give the number we wanted for the refund, rather than be transparent about what they thought was appropriate (we have seen more transparency with other vendors). Additionally, she has given us no confirmation or reassurance that they will take steps to prevent this in the future like security cameras, hiring security through the valet company, etc. I hope that they respond to this with information about steps they are taking to improve security and safety.

Meghan Drury(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-04-2023 When selecting our wedding venue, Boo Cat Club was an easy choice! We had our ceremony in the catacombs and our reception upstairs in the ballroom and theatre. The venue has so many unique features and photo opportunities and fit perfectly with our decor. Our wedding guests have given us so many compliments on how beautiful the space was. The entire Boo Cat Club team is absolutely amazing. We worked with Brenden on the details before the wedding and he was always responsive and quick to answer questions. He helped us craft signature cocktails that everyone loved. The bartenders were top notch as well and made sure our guests were taken care of. Kate was our day of event manager, and she was nothing short of amazing. She was there throughout the evening in many helpful ways. From getting us down the aisle, to collaborating with the vendors, and was always checking in with us, my MOH, and my parents to make sure we had everything we needed. I was so grateful as the bride to have someone to trust to make sure everything ran smoothly. Do yourself a favor and book Boo Cat Club for your wedding day! Reviewed on 07-05-2023

Sydney Finn(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-10-2022 My husband and I chose this venue because of the beautiful catacombs... we could immediately picture our ceremony being held there. The venue is very unique in its layout and decor, and that is why we loved it! The only caveat to that was the theatre and the ballroom are two separate rooms with French doors in between. We had guests eating dinner in the ballroom, but due to our guest count, we had some tables in the theatre as well. It was hard for those guests to see the cake cutting and people talking for speeches. And the for the reception, dancing was in the theatre so everyone from the ballroom had to get up to watch first dances and dancing for the remainder of the night. We knew this when we booked and everything worked out fine the day of, but a few of our guests did comment on it. Jess, our venue coordinator, helped us with the floor layouts and timeline to help minimize any potential issues as much as possible.I will say, I thought the venue was a bit pricy, and then once I started planning my timeline and figuring out details, I realized there were a few things things not included in the Boo Cat Club that were included in other venues we toured. For example, you have to pay for early entry if you want to get in earlier than 4 hours before your start time. You have a half hour after the reception ends to get everything out and that includes all trash- flowers, extra cake, etc. You are not guaranteed your rehearsal date until 3 weeks prior which stressed us out with booking a dinner somewhere else. But there were also some things I really liked that the Boo Cat Club offered that other venues did not. They had a lot of decor for rent which was nice and easy. The offer free valet. They also allow real candles which was a must for our vision. Everywhere inside and outside is photogenic and unique- there's not many other venues like it.Jess was always quick to respond to questions and very knowledgeable. She helped the day flow great! The day of went flawlessly and it was exactly as we envisioned. We are so glad we chose this venue and will remember it fondly! Reviewed on 16-11-2022

Kasey Lewis(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-12-2021 It is hard to express how much we loved having our wedding at The Boo Cat Club. It is a beautiful and unique venue and there is so many different ways to bring the space to life. My husband and I chose to have an intimate 30 person ceremony in the catacombs and a 115 person reception following that. Jess, our venue coordinator, did an amazing job helping to bring our vision to life. She was communicative, efficient and easy to work with. She was honest with me about what would work and what wouldn't during the planning process which I really appreciated! She made sure I had a plate of appetizers & our dinner, champagne to toast with and checked in with me at multiple points throughout the night. The remaining bartenders and vendor staff were also incredible. They were so fun and made sure our guests were enjoying themselves the entire night.A few things that are worth considering:115 people in the ball room was extremely tight. If you are having more than 100 people, you may want to consider your floor plan and moving some guests to the theatre room. We loved having the two separate spaces but it was more crowded than we thought it would be. The ball room looks so large when it's empty but is definitely fills up quickly! Overall, our experience with The Boo Cat Club was incredible. If we could do it all over again, we would use this venue and not change a thing. We highly recommend the space, the incredible staff and all the possibilities that come with such a unique and special venue! Reviewed on 30-12-2021
Stephanie Meyer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-10-2021 If you are looking for a gorgeous historic venue with a unique set up, Boo Cat Club is the place. On top of that, the entire staff is friendly, professional, and so fun to work with. While most venues don’t provide any sort of coordination services, this is included in the price at Boo Cat, and we are so grateful to have had Jess as our coordinator. She loves to have a good time while planning and trying out signature cocktails, but she also knows how to make dreams a reality. She listened intently to our vision but also offered really helpful suggestions based on her knowledge of the industry and the venue itself. She walked us through every step of the process and made everything so easy. One of the things I love most about Boo Cat is its character and charm. I hardly needed any extra decor because the archways, skylights, wood accents, and cozy furniture are perfection all by themselves. The pictures online do not do it justice. I know it’s cliche, but you have to see it for yourself! I myself have a very hard time making decisions, but there is something about Boo Cat that made me and my husband agree to choose it so quickly. We could not stop thinking about it, even after touring multiple other places. I am so confident we chose the best venue in STL. Reviewed on 30-10-2021
Ashley Skouby(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2021 The Boo Cat Club hosted my wedding and reception. Guests were wow'ed by the catacombs where our ceremony took place and ambience of the theater and gallery where our reception was held. The best part about this venue is how intimate it feels but also very spacious at the same time! Oh, and no need for investing an arm and a leg into decor for the event; with it being such a gorgeous venue in itself, adding tablecloths and small centerpieces goes a long way! Jess and Christina were fantastic! Jess is very organized and good at communicating everything so that the entire procession ran smoothly. Christina was patient and helpful the day of, I felt like she really cared about my wedding being a truly special experience. I can not say enough about this place. The pictures online look too good to be true, then you go there and realize how beautiful it is! The bar staff was so polite and awesome, the venue staffed 3 bartenders for our night with about 70 guests, so there was never a line to get a drink. The valet (Kevin & Tyrell) were super friendly guys and our guests, including my husband, enjoyed interacting with them before and after the wedding.--pro tip: small flameless candles look AMAZING in this venue, especially in the catacombs! They allow you to have real ones if you'd like, but we found it much easier to use the battery operated ones scattered everywhere.

Mary Beth Kram(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-03-2021 We had booked this place for our wedding ceremony and reception in 2019 with Mo and we fell in love with the venue and the team that we would be working with. Because of Covid a lot had to change and Boo Cat fell under new management. We were able to have our wedding ceremony on 10/03/2020 and I had many of my guests express that Jess, the new coordinator, was extremely rude and pretty much pushing them out of the venue directly after our ceremony was over. Because of this I was not able to even really speak with the guests that came to our ceremony. Again because of Covid I had to have my reception there because they would not not allow us to get a refund our money. We just had our reception on 03/27/2021 and again Jess, the new coordinator, was absolutely terrible to work with. Again, I had guests express to me that they felt she was rude with them, she had chairs and tables cleaned up an hour before our reception was over and while guests were still trying to sit down, I had guests complain to me because they ran out of beer. Upon arrival, the venue was not set up to the original specifications that were laid out to me and then Jess questioned me out the lay out and I had to ask her to get out the floor plan that was originally sent to me in order to show that it was wrong. If I could do it all again I would have never picked this as our venue even though the Boo Cat is absoulty beautiful on both occasions I was upset and my guests were upset with the rudeness of management.

The historic architecture looked amazing and everyone at Boo Cat was a joy to work with and super responsive. Since we booked our wedding really early, I spent over a year corresponding with the venue coordinator, hashing out details, then changing them. They were really accommodating and easy to communicate with. There were a few glitches with the internal sound system on the day of, but nothing to serious. All and all, the day was pretty perfect.

More than a year after our wedding, we still talk about how perfect the Boo Cat Club was as a wedding venue. We needed to accommodate a range of seating and sound needs for our guests, and the multiple spaces at the Boo Cat Club met that need spectacularly and enabled everyone to enjoy the event. The venue's vintage vibe fit perfectly with the vintage-inspired elements of our wedding and reception, and the theatre made for a perfect ceremony and reception space. There were ample locations for pictures in and around the venue, and many of our guests commented that the historical nature of the venue made the event feel really special. We had wonderful support from the staff members from the moment we reserved the venue (especially Kelly) and appreciate how hard they worked to make sure our desires for the event were fulfilled.

The various spaces are all beautiful and it was really nice to be able to utilize the whole building. In addition to a beautiful space, the staff at Boo Cat are wonderful. All of our many many questions were answered promptly and I was always left with a sense of relief after visiting the space and talking with the staff. Kelly was amazing!!! She was extremely helpful throughout the entire process and went above and beyond on our wedding day to make sure I could stay stress-free. She communicated directly with other vendors to make sure everything went smoothly. We could not have asked for a better place and staff to work with! Reviewed on 22-06-2017
Katie Beth Glenn(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-03-2017 I fell in love with the Boo Cat Club the moment I saw it. It is such a unique space and truly a hidden gem in St. Louis. Every corner of the space is full of character, history and charm and I am so happy that we picked it. My wedding guests loved the space as well. I got many compliments on how unique it was. Kelly was so amazing throughout the entire process too. She was super responsive to all my emails and thorough to help execute all the vendors. Our wedding was such a wonderful stress free day, and the Boo Cat Club will always have a special place in my heart. I can't thank the staff of the BCC, the owners and Kelly enough. I wish we could do it all over again. Reviewed on 11-04-2017
Iavora Vlaytcheva(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-09-2016 The Boo Cat Club was the perfect venue for our September wedding. The space is beautiful, and so unique. Mostly, we appreciated the quirkiness of each nook and cranny of the building. It felt like a special place, with a rich history, from the first time we set foot inside. The team was warm, accommodating, and efficient. We didn't have a wedding planner and took a very, very DIY approach (we collected hundreds and hundreds of vintage dishes, for example), so without their professional support and advice, we could have gotten quite overwhelmed. But all went flawlessly!This was the perfect place to get hitched and throw a party. We'll always be so happy and grateful for the day. Reviewed on 28-09-2016
Amy Cyr(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-06-2016 We couldn't have been happier with the Boo Cat Club. We had both the ceremony and reception there, and the space was perfect for both. We loved having a quiet room upstairs for just the wedding party, and having the groom's bar upstairs kept guests mingling throughout the space. Kelly Spiller was amazing to work with, incredibly organized and helpful. She was so easy to work with. Everything was perfect! Reviewed on 03-07-2016
Megan O'Donoghue(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-04-2016 Having our wedding at The Boo Cat Club was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. The space is gorgeous and so versatile. With about 4 different \"areas\" to play with, it was fun moving our guests around The Boo Cat Club for a different feel for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. Our guests enjoyed exploring the space during our wedding as well! As a bonus for me, a definitively non-DIY bride, the natural beauty, elegance, and \"wow\" factor of The Boo Cat Club made decor simple and easy - all we needed were some candles and flowers to make the space pop!Not only is the space wonderful, but I couldn't have asked for a better Event Coordinator in Kelly. She is clearly an events-pro who is calm, organized, and excellent at communication. Kelly was always available for me, continuously checked in with me, and had great ideas for making our wedding special. Having her on board allowed me to relax at the wedding because I knew that she would keep things moving smoothly.We loved The Boo Cat Club! Reviewed on 13-05-2016
Anonymous (parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-12-2016 My son and his new bride were married at and held their Reception at the Boo Cat Club earlier this month. From the moment they saw the venue to the moment we left it after the party was over, we feel in love with both it and with Brian. The building is stunning; the architecture puts you in a romantic mood. Brian's professionalism, sense of humor, flexibility and desire to provide the utmost in customer service is second to none. He was available, attentive and responsive and ensured that his staff provided excellent service. Brian went above and beyond to see that our needs were met; had great ideas to add that made this day even more memorable. I was able to sit back and enjoy; everyone had a relaxing and fantastic time and I hope to find another reason for booking this venue in 2016! Reviewed on 25-10-2015

I spent a long time looking for the right space for my wedding reception. Enroute I found places that had strict relationships with predictable caterers or were so bare bones, as far as resources, that I feared I would spend my entire wedding day working. \r\rThe Boo Cat Club was the opposite of these qualities and stood out as the perfect solution for me. I was able to bring in everything I wished to make the day reflect my husband and my personalities. \rFrom my preferred caterer, a local, vegetarian friendly space to a Ma and Pa bakery, to my artist friend and florist, to a musician friend, each of these choices created my idea of a perfect day. So one great things about Boo Cat is choice and flexibility. \r\rI also felt supported, Brian, the space manager was easy to reach and quick to return a call. I was able to visit the space multiple times with my various vendors and that led to a smooth reception. He was also there the during the event to problem solve should anything have had come up. \r\rFinally I appreciated the beauty of the space. I received hundreds of compliments from the wedding guests about how much they loved the building. Their was a simple, elegant beauty to the space that made my wedding feel extra special. Knowing that I was a part of St. Louis history by being in this space that had hosted St. Louis greats, added another layer of meaning to the night. We didn't even use all of the rooms in the space, but the Boo Cat can host the ceremony and reception in different spaces. \r\rI highly recommend the Boo Cat Club as a space for your events.

Kim Hunley(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-09-2015 I recently had my wedding ceremony and reception at the Boo Cat Club on 9/19/15. I can't stop talking about how wonderful everything was! Every person associated with the BCC treated us like family and went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed. We had so many people tell us how amazing the venue was. The architecture and unique personality of the BCC really made our wedding vision come alive. I would tell any bride to consider this as a venue!! Also, the bar staff was amazing. We still can't thank Brian and everyone at the BCC for the hard work and help making our day so special! Reviewed on 24-09-2015
Annie Harris(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-09-2015 We had both our ceremony and reception at the Boo Cat Club. I feel beyond lucky to have found the venue - the whole day was perfection. Brian and his team are top quality and ensured everything went off without a hitch. The space has been recently restored back to its original glory - it is simple and gorgeous! The simplistic design allowed our table scapes and food displays to shine! The spaces are gorgeous and can be transformed for any brides vision. Our ceremony was held in the gorgeous catacombs with the reception upstairs in the theater and ballroom spaces. Thank you, Boo Cat Club for helping to produce my favorite day ever!

Emily Stamm(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-07-2015 My husband is from St. Louis, and we are on the road 90% of the time for work. We got engaged and decided to get married in 3 months. We did most of our planning remotely and online, but we fell in love with the Boo Cat Club immediately. We work in theatre, love movies, and wanted a space that felt like our own. The staff at the Boo Cat are so easy going and accommodating to each couple's (or event's) vision that we had a blast planning our use of the space. We decided to get married in the theatre, cocktail hour in the catacombs, and then dinner in the ballroom with the food tables and dancing in the theatre. We even managed a photo booth in the front sitting room. Everything went off without a hitch! ALL of our guests, from near and far, were so enchanted with the building, its history, its unassuming exterior, and that we were able to really throw a wedding that represented us as a couple. The team at the Boo Cat are lovely to work with, very communicative and flexible. We are so proud of our photos and our choices for our wedding day. (Just to give you an idea of the versatility of the Boo Cat, there was a fashion show in there the very next day.) Thank you so much, Boo Cat, from the bottom of our hearts. Reviewed on 18-09-2015
kellie Anthony(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-07-2015 We found the Boo Cat Club right as they were opening and instantly loved the place. We loved that the building had history, yet the inside had been updated while still retaining its charm. We rented Boo Cat for rehearsal Friday night and then ceremony & reception on Saturday. Boo Cat was extremely accommodating in letting us visit multiple times to view spaces, take measurements, make decisions, etc. We did a lot of decorating and they were very generous with the time they allotted us. After our wedding, we received so many compliments from people on our building choice. We are already planning to rent the awesome Catacombs (room in lower floor) for an anniversary party in the future! Reviewed on 17-09-2015
Chanty Bradley-Brown(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-08-2015 The BCC is literally one of the best venues I have used (and visited)!\rAs a result, we selected the BCC as our wedding venue for several reasons. \r1. The location was central for our guests. Many expressed appreciation for the location being conveniently located.\r2. The space is the awesome... it has so much original character that my guests could not stop talking about it (many were impressed with the sky light ceiling, balcony and Catacombs area).\r3. The space also offers a variety of options for the wedding, reception, etc. \rI didn't feel limited in the space - which I've experienced in some other venues. \r4. The management was responsive, professional and provided very relevant information (preferred vendors, advice, etc.) that really improved the coordination, planning and process. \rI particularly appreciated the interaction w/Brian and Katie and the relationships they developed with their preferred vendors(Belli Fiori, Table Ten and Russo's). I truly believe the connection with the vendors was instrumental in our wedding day success and the kindness and professionalism was extended to us and our guests.\r\rOverall, I wouldn't change ONE thing about our wedding day. I would (and HAVE) recommended the BCC to a couple of future Brides and others who are interested in using this space- simply because it is beautiful!\rSigned/\rOne Happy, Satisfied Bride :) \r Reviewed on 16-09-2015

We were so happy to have booked here, the space was beautiful and they were really good about working with us. We had an Indian ceremony which involved extra prep work and they were very accommodating. Everybody really enjoyed the space.

Jennifer Rundquist(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-05-2015 We hosted our ceremony and reception at the Boo Cat Club in late May 2015. We held the ceremony in the Ballroom, the Cocktail hour in the Theater, the dinner in the Catacombs, and the dancing back in the Theater. It all worked out perfectly, absolutely perfectly. (While we were doing the ceremony upstairs, the caterers were setting up downstairs. While we were eating downstairs, the DJ was setting up upstairs for the dancing.) The whole thing went so smoothly and looked so beautiful. We had about 140 guests total, which felt like the *perfect* number for the Boo Cat Club. The cost of the venue was slightly higher than other venues of the same size/quality in St. Louis (Thus, the four-star rating on value).\r\rWe decided on the Ballroom for the ceremony because of the huge skylight - we haven't seen the pictures yet, but we know they will look wonderful with all the natural sunlight. And the space needs very little decoration to look breathtaking. \r\rThe Catacombs was perfect for dinner because of the huge feast-like tables down there; they required no table linens and almost no decorations to look stunning. We put small electric candles around the pillars and some flowers on the tables, and that was all that was needed to make the space look just incredible. 140 fit in the Catacombs, but I wouldn't have wanted to push it much higher than that.\r\rThe Theater was perfect for the reception/dancing. We had a bar both down on the first level, and also opened the bar upstairs for the earlier part of the night. The DJ was on the stage and the dance floor was right in front of the DJ, with a few large round tables and a few high-top tables surrounding the dance floor. There was also a few larger round tables and chairs set up in the Ballroom for guests that wanted to just sit down and take a break and have a drink. \r\rBoo Cat Club did all the drinks for us, too. The prices weren't great - higher than most other venues in St. Louis. (Thus, the four-star rating on value). But they had a great selection, and didn't run out of anything, as far as I know. I only interacted with one bar tender during the night, and she was fantastic.\r\rThere is also a beautiful bridal suite to sit in with your bridesmaids before the ceremony and an ultra-cool upstairs bar that can serve drinks away from the action. There is also a front room for gifts and wedding favors with two original fireplaces. Valet is available, but we didn't use is; big parking available.\r\rThe best part about the space is that it is so unassuming on the outside and so unbelievably unique on the inside - you can really make the space work for your own event. So many guests commented on how amazing the space was. \r\rFinally, working with Brian, the venue coordinator, was so easy. On our first visit, he let us wonder around the space and envision our wedding day. On our final walk through (one week before the wedding) my hubby and I changed the whole game plan for the wedding day and Brian just went with it - actually, he encouraged us to make any changes we wanted in order to feel good about our wedding day. \r\rI really can't say enough about the Boo Cat Club. We booked the venue before they had hosted even one wedding and the place was still under construction, that's how confident we were in this venue and the people behind it. And I think we were only about the Boo Cat Club's 6th or 7th wedding, but no one at the wedding could have ever known because everything went so smoothly. Reviewed on 30-05-2015
