There’s even a speakeasy onsite (the only spot in St. Louis where you actually need a password to get in). The Thaxton hosts weddings for up to 150 guests and provides audio equipment, tables, chairs, glassware, day-of coordination, and bar service.

The Fabulous Fox Theater
If you’ve ever dreamed of getting married on an actual stage, you can make it happen at The Fabulous Fox Theater. Not only is the theater one of the most unique wedding venues in St. Louis, but it’s also one of the most historically significant — the circa 1920s venue was fully restored in 1982 and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. If the stage isn’t quite your vibe, you can get married in the theater’s opulent lobby instead (seen above). The Fabulous Fox Theater offers one of the best all-inclusive packages among St. Louis wedding venues, providing Chiavari chairs, decorative sashes, dressing rooms, a photo booth, catering, and more with your rental fee.
