A wedding venue full of character, charm, and unforgettable details! 🤍

We had the pleasure of catering an intimate wedding at The Barn at Lavender Hill in Dardenne Prairie, MO, and we are absolutely obsessed with this venue! Truly one of the most beautiful and charming spaces we’ve had the pleasure of working in. It’s the perfect setting for smaller weddings, intimate family gatherings, and holiday celebrations.

For this special evening, we provided a full-service dining experience for 24 guests. Our team tended the bar, prepared appetizers for guests to enjoy before dinner, and served an elegant seated dinner featuring a seasonal salad, choice of entrée, and the couple’s wedding cake.
