The Chase Park Plaza

All of my 6 bridesmaids, my mother, and I had hair and makeup done at the Chase Park Plaza. Kelly did a beautiful and unique updo, that fit my hair-piece and veil perfectly. All of the girls looked great as well. I wasn't as satisfied with the quality of the makeup service. They only carry Aveda products, which don't make waterproof mascara. Also, I had to ask to have blush, lip liner, and hilighter applied, which I thought should be understood when you want to look your best for your wedding.

John and his crew at the Chase pulled off a beautiful reception for my husband and I. I was a little worried about doing a plated meal as I have experienced cold meals at other weddings. The food came out warm and was so yummy! They even had to bring some of my bridesmaids extra appetizers because they loved them so much! They did our wedding cake as well, which was very moist and had tons of flavor. The staff was courteous, professional, and helpful. Not to mention, the Zodiac room provided an amazing view of St. Louis and Forest Park. We had a slight issue with guest gifts being delivered to their rooms, but nothing major. I would recommend Chase Park if you are looking for an attentive staff and beautiful reception with great food!


Just a note for all brides looking to block rooms at the Chase, they do have you sign a contract, obligating you to 10 “room nights” over your event weekend. We found all of our guests were thrilled to stay in such a vibrant, historic hotel that was close to many great shops and restaurants! The theatre on the main level was a selling point for any family with children, while the proximity to Forest Park sold all of our outdoorsy attendees!

My new husband and I stayed here on our wedding night as well. Our 1 room suite was perfect! We loved returning home to such a beautiful space at the end of a long evening with friends and family.

Ceremony Site: The Empire Room; We wanted a nice, intimate room that we could bring in our own minister and have a romantic, candlelit ceremony. The Chase fit the bill perfectly. We went through 3 contacts there, but it was never an issue, as all we needed from them was the room. They were all very nice though.
