If you are getting married in St. Louis and looking for a beautiful, affordable and all-inclusive venue, The Franklin needs to be at the very top of your list!! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Christina, Daniel and the rest of their staff. From the moment we toured the space, they made us feel so special and like we were their top priority. Christina kindly and promptly answered every email and question I had (there were a lot!). I am a fairly detail-oriented person and at our final venue meeting a month before the wedding, I was absolutely blown away by the level of detail that went into planning our day - we’re talking a down-to-the-minute timeline! Our wedding went so smoothly and I know that is because of all the work they put in behind the scenes. I literally wish I could get married again just to work with them again. The space is AMAZING, and all little extras like the cocktail lounge and gold chargers and nice chairs - things that other venues would charge extra for - are just part of having your event there. The food is incredible. I wish I could eat their butternut squash ravioli every day! I also made use of their gorgeous bridal suite to get ready in the morning. I would highly recommend The Franklin to any couple searching for a venue. It was one of the very best decisions we made.
