Wedding Reception Layout At City Cottage On Chouteau St Louis

Small weddings are simply awesome! You can pay better attention to your guests and try your possible best to satisfy everyone present in a way that’s almost impossible at a large reception. If you’re interested in having a small wedding reception, then you should go for a small hall. Most couples make the awful mistake of getting a relatively large hall for a small reception. This causes incoherence and disorganization of the entire event, as one may even be confused about the number of gatherings occurring at the venue.

Ample space for dancing

Suppose you’re interested in having a small wedding reception with a short guest list, but you’re not prepared to sacrifice your dream dance floor in this. In that case, you should seriously consider getting married at the St Louis City Cottage Hall. The hall has an orientation that accommodates a few (maybe a hundred) people and spares enough room for a proper dance. The venue also features a conspicuous bar located at the rear end of the facility which is easily assessable and well suited for an open-bar event.

Why St. Louis City Cottage Hall is Perfect for Small Wedding Receptions

The City Cottage Hall not only features a superb view with proper illumination but also possesses a magnificent design that combines eccentricity with grandeur. The diner-styled round tables, appropriately crafted chairs, and polished floors are designed to create an atmosphere of coolness and serenity for your guests and audience. The hall is adapted for a proper wedding reception and a fantastic event like an honorary dinner or even a ceremonial banquet. The hall is quite simple and may be adequate if you want an ambiance of serenity for your wedding reception. The room was designed to look like a diner, only with a touch of perfection.
