Dena and Allen are the best! They made my wedding dreams come true! The Larimore was very special to me as I worked there in high school. Being back there was just as I remembered! The Larimore provides bridal parties with beautiful photo opportunities across the grounds and around the historical house. Thank you Dena and Allen!

The Larimore ripped us off. The owners pretend to be nice but they are shady and don’t actually care about the couples paying for their venue, they just want your money. And in our case they wanted us to pay for their loses during covid that had nothing to do with us. The venue itself is just ok. It’s small and cramped and overpriced for what it is. With the date we chose and our budget it was the best we could do at the time we booked it. The pandemic made it unsafe to have a big wedding and the restrictions made it so they could not accommodate the size wedding we agreed to in the contract, so we tried to move the date of our wedding. They gave us two options: 1. Don’t change the date and pay the full amount even though we were getting less for our money or 2. Pay an additional $1500 to change the date. We knew we were being taken advantage of but we had already paid more than half of our total and they weren’t willing to give a dime back. When we tried to agree to pay extra to move to a new date they changed the terms of our contract so we assumed more risk than before. I guess they thought we were too stupid to read the new contract and they were completely unwilling to change it back to what we already agreed to. We decided to take our business to a better more accommodating venue with more space, prettier surroundings, and better food. We lost what we had already spent but didn’t want to give any more of our money to people like that.

Before corona, my now husband and I were supposed to get married in Florida. Well, due to COVID we decided to cancel it. Unfortunately, our vendors in Florida pretty much ripped us off and we were out thousands of dollars. However, I knew if I had to get married in Missouri, the Larimore was my dream venue. Let me just say, Dena & Allen did not disappoint. They went above and beyond for me & Drew. At our first meeting, Dena showed me the COVID clause in the contract before I even asked. That was the first moment I realized that they really cared about their clients. A month before the wedding, the county executive came out with even more limits on gatherings. In a panic, I called Dena. Boy, did she have a great game plan that made me feel like we were all truly doing the best to keep everyone safe. The day before the wedding, I did not like the cannisters the sweetener packets were in. So, Dena found some very lovely candle holders and transferred them all for me. I am SO thankful she did that! It was a simple gesture that really made my day! The day of the wedding, 2 of our vases broke. So, Allen went and found some vases that we could potentially use. Again, Dena & Allen go out of their way to make your day truly special. Our wedding day was an absolute DREAM that could not have been perfected without the help of Dena & Allen. The Larimore is a beautiful place owned by amazing people who truly want to make your wedding day as beautiful as possible. I cannot say enough great things about this place!! I would get married every weekend if I had the money just because Dena & Allen were so great!

My husband and I got married July 15, 2018 and had our wedding reception at the Larimore House. Let me just start off by saying we could not have chosen a better place to celebrate the most important day of our lives. The planning was so fun and relaxing due to Dena and Allen's flexibility and professionalism. Dena had everything under control throughout getting ready and the big day. Our fairytale wedding wouldn't have come true without her. The staff were so kind and welcoming and made us feel like royalty, the food was delicious, and the whole property was absolutely stunning! From the gorgeous gardens and fountain to the vintage victorian estate, it just felt like a dream. Everyone was gushing about how beautiful our wedding pictures were and many of our guests said they were blown away with how wonderful the night was!

I was a maid of honor at a wedding and the “wedding coordinator“(using that term extremely loosely) was a joke!! She was extremely rude and her husband made any question we had into a huge deal and would pass the buck off on to anyone else! The bride and groom where promised multiple things that where never delivered on. The food is just plain wedding food and we only got one option of an entree, a simple green bean side, bland pasta and a small ice cream scoop of mashed potatoes. I had a few guests even tell me that when a waiter; who was cleaning up and doing his job; was slightly bopping his head to the music when Dena came up to him grabbed his arm and told him to stop and get back to work! How horrible it must be to work for this company. The husband of Dena also closed the front gate when he noticed and didn’t like that ppl where being dropped off closer to the ceremony site. People with walkers and such where made to walk from the lower parking lot! And he was extremely rude to these people!! For how long this house has been doing wedding and how much the cost, wedding should go off without a hitch and the BRIDE shouldnt have to worry about much!! Like having the chairs of their guests being basically taken from under them. Or not having ppl directed to where cocktail hour was so the brideal party could get photos done without having to walk through a bunch of people. The Mother of the Bride had to pay EXTRA so the wedding party could be on site for a mere two hours before the ceremony. Any wedding I have EVER been apart of as long as there wasn’t an even before hand you could be on site much sooner so you are rushed. And Dena even said the property was empty up until we got there. The night before when we got there for the rehearsal and setting up the reception hall had no ac on and was extreme hot! And at no time during that day or up until the bride and groom wanted to take a specific photo; where the wedding party is in the top balcony and the bride and groom where on the bottom balcony: this desire of the bride and groom was stated multiple time during their meetings; did Dena or her husband say that would not be possible. Finally they let the bride and groom up there but I clearly heard Denas husband say they had not cleaned it as he opens the door for the bride to go out there with her EXPENAIVE gown! I would not recommend this location to anyone! You will spend to much money to have the unfortunate pleasure of having to deal with Dena and her husband!

UNACCOMMODATING, RUDE, OVER PROMISED-UNDER SOLD, DIRTY PROPERTY, HORRIBLE TO US AND ESPECIALLY OUR PHOTOGRAPHER, WOULDN’T EVEN ALLOW BRIDAL PARTY ON SECOND BALCONY(which is the main point of renting this place with the promise of these photo shots) WAY OVER PRICED, HORRIBLY SMALL RECEPTION HALL, UNPROFESSIONAL! WORST, WORST, WORST!!! Avoid if at all possible! Terrible experience. They will lure you in with the promises that they will bend over backwards for you, however that is a horrid lie. Two weeks before the wedding you’ll get a list of all the things (all of which you’ve already spent precious time and money on) that they don’t allow. I was shocked! If you ever dreamed of a sparkler send off.. forget it. If you already spent tons of money on candles for you reception they better be flamless because that’s not allowed either. No silk flower petals either because for $10,000+ they aren’t even willing to clean up a stray petal here or there without an extra fee and making you feel like dirt. You better be okay with only having ONE entrée because your guests won’t even get a second option. The reception hall is impossibly small even for our smaller group. We were two chairs short at the head table the day before the wedding so I pointed that out to them and instead of making the table bigger they threw two more chair in and no one had any room what so ever and I had to practically ruin my expensive ball gown dress trying to stuff it between chairs and under the table! Wouldn’t allow us on the second balcony (the privilege we paid $10,000+ for) after them being rude and absolutely horrible to us finally agreed that just the groom and I could, but when we got there the owner clearly admitted that they hadn’t even cleaned up there and it absolutely showed! It was filthy! The wedding coordinator Dena did absolutely nothing to keep our guests at the front on the house for cocktail hour (which was a joke!) so we had guests walking all over crowding us while we tried to get pictures taken. Making the whole process take much longer trying to get guests out of the shots. You only get one option for the DJ they pick, which you might think is less stressful, but oh my lord! I kept asking him to play club/party music to get younger people dancing and everything was stuff our parents would listen to. When you sign up it’s under the impression that a photo booth is included. This is a lie that you won’t find out about till your reception. Just to use their projector for photos is a $75 fee which we paid for, but never got. I just can’t say enough about Dena, her husband, and this venue. Just Terrible. RUDE. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. Please if you’re considering this venue I’d personally recommend you keep looking!

She really cares about making your Day exactly like how you always imagined it! The food is AMAZING like AMAZING and chapel is just perfect for your ceremony.

I got married at Larimore on November 5, 2017. Larimore is everything I wanted in a venue. The outside is beautiful. The inside is beautiful. It was all ours for the day (both ceremony and reception spaces), and the prices were reasonable. Dena, the on-site coordinator, was with me every step of the way and ensured that the day went flawlessly. Even though the rain poured right before my ceremony, the staff was flexible and dried all the chairs so that I could have the outdoor ceremony that I wanted. We used Stems florist and Rockstar DJs, two of Larimore’s preferred vendors, and were extremely happy with their work--they are so comfortable with the space after doing hundreds of weddings there, as well as being great at their craft. I’m so glad that Larimore exists in St. Louis and so glad that I was able to get married there!

I just got married September 9th at this beautiful venue. I fell in love with the feel of this place the day I first stepped foot on the property. The beauty, the history, the wonderful owners, everything was perfect. I loved how much help Dena was as well as her husband on my special day to make sure everything was perfect. The foot from their catering company was even perfection. I was told by multiple people it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to, and I have Larimore to thank for that. I hope I get to come back for a wedding in the future so I can relive our extra special night.

We got married at Larimore House Plantation in April and couldn't have been happier with our experience! We chose Larimore because we really wanted to have an outdoor wedding and they have a cute indoor chapel as a backup. The day before our wedding there was a 100% chance of rain and somehow that changed overnight and we were able to have the most beautiful garden wedding. The horse and carriage was a highlight for me as I was able to enjoy some special time with my Dad right before we walked down the aisle, and with my new husband right after. I was a little worried we wouldn't have enough photo opportunities with the ceremony and reception back to back, but we actually have way too many to choose from. It was also really convenient for our guests to not have to travel in between. Dena was prompt whenever I had questions and she was so helpful throughout the process and especially on our big day. I didn't have to worry about anything on the day of and I really was able to be in the moment and enjoy it all. Thanks so much for exceeding our expectations and for giving us our fairytale wedding!

Larimore is the best place to have your wedding. We waited 2.5 years to have our wedding there and it was definitely worth the wait. My wife and I had our reception there and it was perfect! We had about 145 people and it was the perfect feel we wanted. It felt like an intimate dinner party with our family and friends rather than a huge ballroom . Their food was delicious, hot and served in a timely manner. The appetizer foods were great for our guests outside during the carriage rides for our guests. We were so happy we found Larimore because we found our bakery, photographer, florist and DJ using all their preferred vendors. All of the vendors were AMAZING and very easy to work with.

I had my wedding at Larimore in May 2017. Throughout the process, Dena & Allen were helpful via email when I had various questions. The property is beautiful and our guests loved it. However, I was less than pleased with execution on the big day. We weren't able to taste any of the food before we picked the menu, which was stressful. I had told Dena at every meeting that we were getting married in the chapel. At rehearsal she still thought we were getting married outside. Then during rehearsal she didnt understand that my husband & I were both walking our mothers in. On the day of she is supposed to act as coordinator, but she was incredibly unhelpful. Every time we needed her, she couldn't be found. My officiant, photographer, and DJ ended up acting as coordinators. She didn't close the curtain before I entered the chapel so everyone could see me minutes before it was my turn to walk down the aisle. My photographer & DJ had to transition between events during the reception because Dena & Allen were always missing. Our first dance got delayed and we just stood around waiting for them to turn on the dance floor lights. Our leftover cake was given to us smashed and upside down in a box that didn't even close all the way. The list goes on. It's a beautiful spot and we had a great time. But don't count on Dena & Allen to help the day of. Even though Dena says part of what you pay for is her services as coordinator.

The elevated dance floor made it easy for guests to watch the party while sitting at their tables. The staff were very professional and accommodating.

Just What We Wanted!\r\rWow! We had a wonderful groom’s reception at the Larimore House this past Saturday, January 2nd, 2016. Though we contacted Allen and Dena only a month before our desired date, they went out of their way to accommodate us. They offered us a number of options which made our final selection easy. The food choices were appreciated by the bride and groom as they were able to select something they both enjoyed. On the day of the event, the Larimore staff had everything in place and things flowed smoothly throughout the evening. The food was outstanding during the entire buffet time so that guests enjoyed it whether they came earlier or later. We had many positive comments from our guests. Most importantly, the bride and groom (our son and daughter-in-law) told us the evening was exactly what they wanted. Prior to the reception, Allen and Dena made the mansion and grounds available as the backdrop for many memorable photos of the bride and groom. Based on our experience, we heartily recommend the Larimore House. - Thanks Larimore!!

The wedding was beautiful but we were rushed along the entire time. My main concern was we would not have enough time for pictures however I was assured by the owners we would. We paid the extra money to do them prior and then we only ended up having enough sunlight to do my family side after. The staff had rushed away my husband's side into the reception. When we got to the reception to try to pull them out for pictures, we were told they had to announce us and take our seats. We were also told that they would accomodate portion sizes to be larger if people did not show up. We counted that 17 people we paid for did not show up and the portion sizes were the same. I also had submitted an excel sheet of people & their table numbers in regards to who ordered what & one in alphabetical order. I was not happy that they staff was going around asking what they wanted. Why did I do all that work for? For how much we paid, I would have liked to have had more time for pictures and a better compensation for the food. The venue was beautiful, they helped me set up some extra props even when I was so tired I and stressed I almost just said do whatever. The food was amazing and the night was memorable however if we had to do it again, we would have chosen somewhere else.

My husband Casey & I got married here on 08/22/15. Our friends and family are STILL raving about the Larimore! The venue is the essence of romance. What's more, Deena (the owner and your day-of helper) made everything run SO smoothly. When my mom & I had met with seven (yes 7) florists who were out of budget, Deena's go-to florist (Stems) was able to give me everything I wanted at 60% of what others were charging. On the day of the wedding, I had absolutely nothing to worry about because Deena was there and she is a pro! I was worried about it not being sunny (they have a backup indoor venue, but I really wanted outdoors) and our day WAS cloudy, but the pictures turned out beautifully. Highly recommend doing the horse & carriage entry. People are still talking about how cool it was! ALSO, it gave me a little time in the carriage to talk to my dad one last time before he walked me down the aisle. I cannot say enough good things about the Larimore and Deena. We had a very detailed wedding (monogram on dance floor, monogrammed labels on the champagne bottles, special table cloths, etc, etc) and Deena made sure that all of our details were taken care of to the T. I cannot believe what a perfect day it was and that I did not have to worry about anything at all! Here is the link to our wedding video so you can see more of this gorgeous plantation for yourself! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3WrTcRo_qg\rCongratulations on your engagement & happy wedding planning!\r~Jennifer Blood

What's more, Deena (the owner and your day-of helper) made everything run SO smoothly. When my mom & I had met with seven (yes 7) florists who were out of budget, Deena's go-to florist (Stems) was able to give me everything I wanted at 60% of what others were charging. On the day of the wedding, I had absolutely nothing to worry about because Deena was there and she is a pro! I was worried about it not being sunny (they have a backup indoor venue, but I really wanted outdoors) and our day WAS cloudy, but the pictures turned out beautifully. Highly recommend doing the horse & carriage entry. People are still talking about how cool it was! ALSO, it gave me a little time in the carriage to talk to my dad one last time before he walked me down the aisle. I cannot say enough good things about the Larimore and Deena. We had a very detailed wedding (monogram on dance floor, monogrammed labels on the champagne bottles, special table cloths, etc, etc) and Deena made sure that all of our details were taken care of to the T. I cannot believe what a perfect day it was and that I did not have to worry about anything at all! Here is the link to our wedding video so you can see more of this gorgeous plantation for yourself! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3WrTcRo_qg\rCongratulations on your engagement & happy wedding planning!\r~Jennifer Blood

Very beautiful venue! After our first meeting at the Larimore House we knew it was perfect. It is a very unique property and we wanted our wedding to be memorable. We got many compliments from our guests, especially on having the horse drawn carriage as a part of our ceremony. The food was also excellent. Allen was very accommodating during the reception and made sure we were happy. He also helped us clean up afterwards and did not rush us out after the reception had ended. My only complaint is that one of the staff members was rude to a few of our other vendors. Scolding one of the vendors for arriving less than 5 minutes early before their scheduled arrival time, and for rolling their eyes at another vendor multiple times while they were asking questions.

My husband and I were married at the Larimore House Planation on September 18, 2015. Besides the warm weather, every thing was amazing. The property was beautiful, the food was delicious and the service was more than outstanding. I am still getting compliments on my wedding. Dena was a huge help and made everything run smoothly. I would highly recommend Larimore House Plantation.

As soon as my now husband and I saw this place, we were in love with it! It was kind of pricy, but well worth it. Dena is super helpful and does a great job with helping to figure out what you need. They have vendors that they partner with, so it was both easy to choose them, and they knew their way around the grounds to get things where they needed to be. We had an indoor wedding in the chapel, which has some simple decorations already, so it didn't need much else to look good. I liked having the ceremony and reception in the same area. The whole staff was very helpful, and none of my guests' glasses got too empty during the reception.

We just finished hosting my daughter’s wedding at the Larimore this past weekend and Dena was simply wonderful, she does work to bring a level of professional services to your event. I found her very accommodating. All of the wedding elements went incredible well and the outdoor settings were wonderful. I would recommend the carriage as it does provide a spectacular element to the wedding! \rWhen I did a site inspection of the Larimore, I had a discussion with Allen who boasted about the quality of service at his facility as I asked questions about service in the room which had a mixture of 70 inch rounds and 8 ft., 60 inch tables. He assured me that their service was on the same level as sit-down dinner service at the Ritz Carlton. Having prior experience as a banquet manager at the Frontenac Hilton, Doubletree, La Chateau and the Omni hotels in St. Louis, I took his word while excusing my doubts.\rThe Dinner elements, while the salad was average, the main course was really good with an 8 oz. Parmesan crusted breast of chicken served with Russell potatoes and assorted vegetables. Sesame crusted sliced bread was placed on the table cold with a glob of margarine available for spreading. The room itself was severed in waves, head table sections first, and followed by the main floor, saving the tiered section for last. As we were cutting the cake, which we elected to do to produce savings, we told to keep to an aisle open by Allen who seemed to serve as the enforcer rather than a service professional. I had two vegans in attendance and had to have a hard discussion with Allen about getting their two (2) plates as he stated that getting those two (2) vegan plates would slow down the dinner service. Normally I would not have made an issue about it if they had not been waiting for over 30 minutes to eat while others had already finished eating. Perhaps times have changed but I do remember the days when the customer was always right! Allen seemed rather defensive about everything! \rThe average service standards are 1 per 20, The Larimore standards are 1 per 40. Due to the plating and service, dinner took over an hour. In an average service situation you have 2 servers working 4 table with 1 server serving while the other server is transporting items such as water, tea, bread, salad and dinners back and forth. The other server is also clearing items from the tables and maintaining service. This did not happen at the Larimore where the servers carried trays with two hands and six (6) people worked a room set for 240 people. As a meeting planner I would recommend this facility for smaller groups or make sure that the facility guarantees 1 server per 2 tables of ten people, this would ensure that the quality of service is provided. Overall every one of our guests enjoyed the event along with all of the elements of the facility. \r

This place was amazing. Our wedding took place about 6 weeks ago and we had our reception at Larimore. We threw them a lot of challenges and they absolutely rose to the occasion! Dena was by far the best person I worked with planning things for the day (our wedding was elsewhere). She's amazingly prompt, clear, and helpful, which given my work is probably the thing I value most in anyone!\r\rIn our case Larimore rose to what I imagine were a host of slightly unusual challenges, which I think are worth mentioning to illustrate how much they are willing to do! Challenge one: my husband and about half our guests were Scottish so we decided to roll with that and serve a traditional Scottish meal, have a Scottish ceilidh and everything. Challenge two: I'm a vegetarian and would NOT allow meat to be served. Challenge three, my fiancé was living in London and I was in Toronto last year while we were planning this. So Larimore had the challenge of serving vegetarian Scottish food to Scottish guests who eat it all the time and a bride and groom who couldn't even be called without international charges to help them figure out how to do this. The result: perfection! The food was magnificent, they accommodated our ceilidh band perfectly, they were super helpful with the photographer and just very, very friendly on the day. We had a champagne toast in the garden on our arrival to the mansion after the wedding and they accommodated that without so much as a blink either. Beyond all that, my uncle's windshield was busted while he was in the reception, and Larimore offered to give him a gift certificate somewhere of his choice to compensate his deductible for a new one and when a couple of taxi's didn't show up after the reception, Allen actually drove our guests back to their hotel downtown. They were so accommodating it was just unreal! \r\rOur one complaint is that their alcohol vendor was awful in the lead up to the wedding. Larimore should NOT have an exclusivity contract with Champagne Wishes. Champagne Wishes did well enough on the day, but they repeatedly failed to answer e-mails, failed to explain prices, and only accept cash, which meant I had to meet someone to pay them a couple thousand dollars cash right by a bank of my choosing in St. Louis--it felt like the shadiest deal I've ever made. Thank god he gave me a receipt! Anyway, the only way that reflects on Larimore is that Larimore should have at least a choice of alcohol vendors which would force the vendor to operate on at least a semi-professional level. The problem here is really Champagne Wishes, not Larimore. \r\rI cannot say enough (and neither could my guests) how wonderful Larimore was. The grounds and house are beautiful, the service is out of this world, and the food was great (and I'm a real foodie, so that's saying something!) I could not recommend any venue more!

Perfect Perfect Perfect!!! Dena and Allen have really figured out the winning formula for a perfect wedding. My husband got married Sunday April 26, 2015 and it was the best day I could have ever imagined. From the beginning, Dena was extremely helpful and is always happy to listen and help in any way she can. The rehearsal went smoothly because she helped us with the line up, the details, and she worked great with our officiant, taking notes to make sure everything went as planned. The staff cleaned the chairs outside before the guests arrived, they were quick to help with anything we needed, and were extremely kind and attentive. I simply cannot believe how amazing they were to us. My husband and I didn't have to worry about absolutely anything all day. Trust me, Dena and Allen know how to make any wedding perfect. If you want a beautiful wedding in a short amount of time with a wonderful line up of vendors (Cake...AMAZING, DJ...SUPERB, Flower...all of it!!!!!!), take a trip to Larimore and talk to Dena. You will be thrilled that you did!

Dena kept me calm by telling me the rain would let up before the ceremony.. and sure enough it did.. she and Alan were outside wiping off all the chairs to make sure they were ready for the guests and they never once seemed annoyed or ever told me to think about having the wedding inside (the inside chapel is beautiful too but I had my heart set on my outside wedding with my horse and carriage!). \r\rOh and let me tell you we had a HUGE wedding party (over 20 people) and Dena did everything she could to make sure everything went as smooth as possible.

It was also important to us to have the ceremony and reception at the same location. Walking onto the property you will feel like you have stepped back in time- the property is gorgeous! The grounds are immaculate and the plantation is just beautiful. Having a ceremony in front of the plantation really is a WOW factor. Dena and Allen were fantastic to work with- I definitely wanted to customize my wedding day and they happily worked with me so that I could have everything the way that I wanted it to be.

Seriously, our wedding day was perfect Dena and Allen really did take care of everything for us. All of their recommended vendors were flawless and so easy to work with. They are top tier wedding vendors. Our wedding day was perfect so many guests came up and said they had no idea a venue like this existed in St. Louis and that they felt like that had witnessed a fairy tale wedding. We had a cocktail hour with appetizers and beverages after the wedding which our guests loved. Dinner and dancing followed in the reception venue which from the outside looks like a bar but is elegant on the inside. We served Chicken Piccata and Prime Rib- guests have commented and said the food was great! We had a great dance party with our guests along with a photo booth, cold stone catering, and an additional out door tent with a bar and cigar bar. I would recommend this venue and Dena and Allen to anyone. This was an extremely classy event that had a vintage/elegant feel and was all that we could have wanted. This venue is a gem!

On the day of the wedding, we made a last minute decision to move inside because of rain, and Dena & Alan made the transition seamlessly!

After we met with Dena at the Larimore House to review their options, we knew this was the place for us. \r\rThe venue is perfectly beautiful. Nestled away in a little piece of perfection is the Larimore House. From the moment you pull in the drive you feel like you've traveled back in time. The grounds are pristine, trees surround the whole property so you don't even know you're in the city. It's quiet and romantic. The house is fabulous, classic architecture with lovely antique furnishings and décor. \r\rThen there is the service. Dena took care of everything. I live about 3 hours away so this was extremely helpful to me. She worked with me from start to finish to ensure that everything went precisely the way I desired. On my wedding day, Dena and staff were always a couple of steps ahead so I didn't have to think about anything. My wedding party and I just showed up and enjoyed the day. Preparation and clean-up were entirely on them so my family, friends and I didn't have to worry about anything. \r\rI would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a classic, romantic location with a complete package to cover every detail. The price was incredibly reasonable (I even opted to include the flowers, DJ, delicious dinner, and more so it was less stress on me) and everything I had Dena take care of turned out better than anticipated.

After we met with Dena at the Larimore House to review their options, we knew this was the place for us. \r\rThe venue is perfectly beautiful. Nestled away in a little piece of perfection is the Larimore House. From the moment you pull in the drive you feel like you've traveled back in time. The grounds are pristine, trees surround the whole property so you don't even know you're in the city. It's quiet and romantic. The house is fabulous, classic architecture with lovely antique furnishings and décor. \r\rThen there is the service. Dena took care of everything. I live about 3 hours away so this was extremely helpful to me. She worked with me from start to finish to ensure that everything went precisely the way I desired. On my wedding day, Dena and staff were always a couple of steps ahead so I didn't have to think about anything. My wedding party and I just showed up and enjoyed the day. Preparation and clean-up were entirely on them so my family, friends and I didn't have to worry about anything. \r\rI would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a classic, romantic location with a complete package to cover every detail. The price was incredibly reasonable (I even opted to include the flowers, DJ, delicious dinner, and more so it was less stress on me) and everything I had Dena take care of turned out better than anticipated.

The Larimore House is a wonderful place to have a wedding. Dena and Alan made sure we had everything we needed and/or wanted for the day. They handled all the little 'details' and made sure things went off without a hitch. I loved working with them from start to finish.

Larimore House is a beautiful outdoor/indoor all inclusive facility. Their staff is extremely helpful and accomodating and it was our dream wedding facility. We had our ceremony outside at the gazebo and it was beautiful. After pictures on the surrounding property we headed inside the converted barn where our guests awaited us. The food was very good and since we had over 10 kids under 12 they made special chicken fingers kids meals that our family truly appreciated. I would recommend Larimore to anyone!

Larimore House Plantation provided an idyllic setting for my August 4th wedding. As an out-of-town bride, Dena worked within my schedule and was able to complete the majority of the arrangements over the phone or through e-mail. If I had any question or request, she and her staff promptly responded. \rDespite raining all morning on my wedding day, Larimore made sure that everything ran smoothly, so I could have the outdoor wedding of my dreams. My guests constantly commented on how beautiful everything looked and how smoothly everything ran. When it came time for the reception, I didn't really have to think about anything other than enjoying their delicious food and greeting my guests. I would recommend this venue to both my friends and family because of how easy and well-run everything is.

I can only say that my wedding last weekend was perfect. We were able to have our outdoor wedding and reception all at one estate and the weather even cooperated for our wedding in front of the mansion. Dena, the wedding coordinator, was Such a great help, and our guests just loved everything. They were given refreshments and allowed to tour the historic buildings and landscaped grounds while we finished our pictures and then we all had a delicious dinner. The evening was PERFECT ! It was a really fair price too!

I had my wedding this Fall at the Larimore. If I wasn’t trying to plan for an accessible wedding for my out-of-town guests, I would have chosen another venue. It was nice that it was close to the airport, as we were out of town and trying to plan the wedding from another state. One other nice feature was the pure convenience of having our wedding and reception all at the same place.\r\tThe plantation house is beautiful from outside—which made for nice pictures. However, it is in need of a serious face-lift inside. There were outdated furnishings, dolls and old fake floral arrangements inside which made for awkward backgrounds. The temperature was also pretty warm (80 degrees) in both the house and the reception hall. Dena acted put out when my now Mother In Law asked if we could turn it down for our guests’ comfort. \r\tAs far as a wedding coordinator, Dena was very stand-off and not very personable in her overall demeanor. I primarily reached out as questions arose and found Dena to work with me on things, but only if I would pay extra. On the day of my wedding, she really didn’t approach us (except to say when we were cutting the cake) and never congratulated me during the entire event. My wedding party kept asking if she was ok or mad. I guess I’d just expect someone a bit more approachable and bubbly to work in the wedding industry. Even though there were no events before my Saturday evening wedding, she was unwilling to move the time for the rehearsal from noon on Friday to something later in the day. This posed a bit of a problem for some of the wedding party. Also, we asked to arrive an hour early and paid $200 extra for that time. As for the decoration packet, words of warning- don’t do this. At first, I thought it would make the planning easier, and once I looked at what was involved I asked to take this off our contract—primarily for the tulle backed chairs that really didn’t go with my theme at all. She charged me $150 extra dollars to take these off the chairs, even though they were included in the decorations I specifically didn’t want. These are already on the chairs, but they make you think you’re getting all of these “extra” decorations for the $600. \r\tThey also recommend using their preferred vendors. I would warn against this as well. Dena gave me a floral arrangement price list, but Jenny at Stems wanted the extra amount in another check written out to her. So, instead of getting any savings, it ends up being more of a hassle by writing two checks to Dena and the florist with no real “deal”. We also were told at the beginning of our wedding venue search that, if we had less than the 155 guests for the minimum per plate pricing, they’d offer an extra entrée option. This was another empty promise- we didn’t receive any extra selections and ended up paying more than $600 extra due to the smaller guest count yet still paying for the minimum 155 headcount.\r\tFor all of the extra nickel’ing and diming the Larimore did, we really should have looked elsewhere for someone who would be willing to work with me and make my day as stress-free as possible without all of the hassle. \r

The only issue I had with the Larimore is that I was not a very traditional bride and the owners are much more traditional people.

It was a little cool and so we opted to be in the beautiful wedding chapel (instead of in the wedding garden) but we did take some beautiful pictures afterwards on the gorgeous grounds and in the parlors of the Victorian Larimore Mansion. All the details were handled professionally and the reception facility was very charming. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the food, fun and dancing at the reception. We are so happy that we found this perfect wedding venue. Any bride lucky enough to have found out about this place, could never go wrong. Being at one place for getting ready, for the ceremony, the pictures and the reception just made things so much easier and our guests really loved not having to drive between the ceremony and the reception. What a perfectly romantic place for our most romantic day!!!

They have some vendors that they have worked with in the past already set up for you to use if you want them (I went with them and was very impressed).
