What the venue publishes
Ceremony fee $950.00 to $2,400.00 for a 2-hour time slot, depending on the space chosen (the Mansion, Gazebo & Patio, Grand Hall, or Lemp's Loft) and date. Additional charges apply for setup ($400-$550), rehearsal ($195), and coordination ($145).
The source publishes a range of $950 to $2,400, so which end applies depends on the options the source lists.
Reception packages (priced separately from the ceremony fee) start at $51/person for 2026 and include uniformed waitstaff and bartenders, champagne toast, linens, china, cake cutting, and open bar with house brands. Events with more than 75 guests require a seating chart.

Where this price sits in St. Louis
$950 is the 15th lowest published starting price of the 20 venues listed in the St. Louis metro. The metro median starting price is $133, and 5 of the 20 listings publish a higher starting price than this one.
What the capacity costs per guest
The source publishes a capacity of 75 guests. At $950, filling the space works out to $13 per guest for the site fee alone, before the license, an officiant, food, or rentals. The median published capacity across the 14 St. Louis listings that publish one is 90 guests, so this space is smaller than the metro median.

The license is issued during the visit and the city states it must be used for a ceremony within 29 days after it is picked up. Two witnesses must sign the license and the officiant must return it within 15 days. The $12 certificate copy is mailed automatically once the license is recorded. Divorced applicants must wait at least 30 days from the date the divorce was finalized before applying. Unusually long counter hours: 8 am to 6 pm Monday to Thursday, 8 am to 5 pm Friday and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday, so a Saturday license pickup is possible here.
