Nestled in the heart of historic St. Charles County just outside St. Louis, 1860 Schulhaus Venue offers an exquisitely transformed 19th-century schoolhouse that sets the stage for refined, intimate events. With its blend of timeless architectural charm, warm wood details, high ceilings and modern amenities, our space is ideal for discerning hosts who seek a stylish setting without the scale or expense of large-ballroom venues.

We specialize ensuring an atmosphere of sophistication and intentionality. With our small event rental package (4-hour rental, including a 30-minute wrap-up period), all linens, chairs and tables ready upon arrival, and dedicated on-site management plus bar service included, you can relax and host with confidence.
