Chaumette Vineyards & Winery

We had our rehearsal dinner in the Barrell Room on Friday evening, our wedding in the chapel, and our reception in the ballroom. We had right at 100 guests, and the entire place worked out perfectly. Our guests absolutely loved the b&b amenities (we had all of the villas rented out for the whole weekend), the pool area, and the wine bar!! Rhonda, the coordinator was fabulous to work with, and my guests have given me so many wonderful comments about our weekend. It's so beautiful there, I truly have nothing bad to say about it. I highly recommend Chaumette as a wedding venue! They made many new future patrons by making my wedding so beautiful and special; my guests and I will all be returning there many times in the future!

My husband and I recently tied the knot at the newly restored Chaumette barn. Due to conflict with previous reserved venues, we contacted Chaumette only 13 weeks before our wedding. The wedding coordinator and managers were VERY helpful with quick getting things in order for the big day. They were very laid back and easy to get in touch with. Not only did the staff go out of their way to help us, the food and service was some of the best we've ever had at a wedding.The bar consisted of Chaumette's wine and local brews. Its been two months since our wedding, family and friends are still raving over the wonderful day. If your looking for a rustic, outdoor themed wedding there's nothing like it in the state of Missouri.

The wedding planner helped me with every detail. She was fabulous. The chapel was charming. The reception ballroom was beautiful. The food and wine were the reason we chose Chaumette but the service was wonderful!!!! It was much more than we expected in all ways!!!! As the mother of the bride, I can say that this venue was elegant, fun, and stress-free!!!! What more could you want?

Chaumette's management and service are incredibly poor, bordering on offensive and rude! I should have known not to have my wedding here after I hosted a small group there for my 30th birthday and left after getting told to move here or go over there and getting no service after 45 minutes. Don't let the view fool you or the fact that they have rooms, reception space, chapel, etc. all in one place - dealing with the management is NOT worth it. They couldn't have gotten it more wrong! From our food at our reception being ready over an hour before multiple emails stated that the wedding party would even be entering the venue, to them forgetting to provide ushers for our guests, to the grooms surprise cake not coming out after the DJ announced it (giving it away) multiple times - we have horrible memories of Chaumette's coordination of our wedding day. The lady that runs the salon works hours away and double booked our day and provided expensive quotes for what they offer. She was incredibly offensive in closing the deal, assuming we were going to basically trash the place while we were getting ready. We are adults. We cancelled everything when they we couldn't come to an agreement on prices and times a WEEK before the wedding after everything had been set for months.

The rooms were great and the guests enjoyed that space and the pool. The food was ok, but after being hounded the entire time we were taking wedding photos to come down since the food was ready, nothing tasted good. SO many things we had agreed on months prior fell through the cracks and when we approached her at the wedding she screamed at me. When my family met with the management afterwards her response to being presented with all of the emails with everything that we had agreed upon was "So I guess we ruined your wedding - sue us!" Are you serious? We are going to start our happy lives and not look back, but to write reviews so others know what they are dealing with here. They were great during the initial weeks of planning as long as we were writing the checks (a LOT of checks) but on the day-of they were nowhere to be found. This would have been a great setting to return to for multiple anniversaries, but myself and my family and friends will never set foot on their property again. That is how strongly we feel about their ability to coordinate these types of events, how we were treated, and our experience at this venue under this management. Do not patronize this establishment!

Chaumette is located in a beautiful are of Missouri. They are very accommodating and willing to work with your needs and desires. The food is wonderful and the wines are very good. The have a cute little chapel that you can use for the ceremony and a very nice ballroom that can be used for the reception. The only downside is that it is somewhat far from St. Louis and there aren't very many nearby accommodations for out of town guests (except the villas which are on the Chaumette property). However, it was perfect for our intimate wedding.
