Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis Gets Creative With Socially Distanced Weddings

Many brides-to-be dream of walking down the aisle to meet her groom, supported by her bridesmaids in a venue that she loves, with family and friends giving their blessings.
This year’s wedding planning has been a challenge for engaged couples who have had to scramble to find venues that can accommodate all the COVID-19 safety mandates, postponed their nuptials, and in some cases, cancelled their big celebration.
In St. Louis, venues have had to adapt quickly to still make wedding dreams come true. The Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis’ 20,000 square feet of outdoor space is becoming a hot spot for socially distanced weddings. The venue is perfect for a wedding with two to 50 guests. The space’s spectacular views of the Gateway Arch, Mississippi River and downtown skyline are a perfect mix of romance, luxury and beauty for couples who are ready to say “I do.”

The sky illuminates nearby landmarks, the atmosphere is peaceful and there is a sense of magic in the moment, at the beginning and end of each day. Couples can exchange their vows, enjoy live acoustic music, engage in scenic bridal photos and celebrate with an open-air reception.

“A photographer will have the most amazing backdrop to capture, and that sunrise or sunset will become one of the many memories to treasure from your wedding day,”  said Kristen Swidrak, director of catering and conference services at the Four Seasons.

“For bridal celebrations earlier in the day, I recommend serving guests mimosas, an elevated brunch menu and even offering a yoga session on the terrace in lieu of dancing. Couples celebrating in the evening can enjoy cocktails by the fire pit and individual s’mores roasting kits,” Swidrak said.

Each wedding celebration is carefully curated to reflect the personalities and wishes of the bride and groom. Learn more at fourseasons.com/stlouis/weddings.
