Our wedding at The Vineyard at St. Charles was a very special day. The venue's serene beauty, with its lush vineyards and elegant charm, provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. You can really tell the grounds are well maintained and that the ownership really cares about this space. The main event space exuded warmth and charm with its tasteful decor. The outdoor ceremony area, set against the picturesque vineyards, created a romantic setting for our vows. The staff were excellent. Hannah ensured everything ran smoothly, which allowed us to enjoy our day without worry. The bridal suite was spacious and luxurious and was really what sold us on this as our wedding venue. The Vineyard at St. Charles exceeded our expectations with its stunning setting and impeccable service. It is the perfect choice for a memorable and elegant wedding.
