Anheuser Busch Biergarten
Get married at a St. Louis landmark by hosting your wedding at the Anheuser Busch Biergarten, the oldest and largest Budweiser brewery in the country. Naturally, this historic wedding venue is a perfect choice if you just really love beer, but it has a lot to offer even for those who aren’t planning to imbibe. We love the industrial feel of the outdoor biergarten (pictured here), but there’s also an indoor biergarten, a lager room, and the schoolhouse, where you can enjoy an educational beer sampling experience — a.k.a “beer school.” Catering and alcohol are provided as part of the venue’s customizable wedding packages, which also include table linens, china, and flatware. Make your wedding complete with optional add-ons, such as uplighting, beer-themed centerpieces, and a guest visit from the brewery’s famous clydesdale horses.
