There is no better DJ than DJ Martin. He had us fill out a questionnaire that helped guide us through planning our entire wedding day and ultimately the absolute BEST PARTY ever! I have never seen so many people on a dance floor as I did at our wedding reception. Instead of a head table, we put the DJ façade on the stage where the head tables would have been so that he was the center of attention. Ultimately, it was the best decision. He was able to be close to the dance floor, feel the crowd, and have a good time. He also listened to us on our music choices and guided us on things we were unsure of. We highly recommend Ultimate Beats Entertainment.

St. Louis, MO
  • Venue
  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $6,000

The Franklin of Soulard is an elegant, spacious event venue located in the charming neighborhood of Soulard. Constructed in 1905, this historic venue provides a timeless backdrop for your event - day or night. Our elegant ballroom boasts 30-foot ceilings with lots of natural light from bordering windows, shimmering golden chandeliers, a beautifully framed 30-foot-wide stage, and a candlelit mezzanine to bring a warm glow to your evening. This grand space can entertain up to 300, with no shortage of AirBnBs and surrounding hotels to make celebrations even easier for travelling guests! The Franklin's classic charm will make your event one to remember. Book your tour today!

Why you'll love this venue

  • Wheelchair accessible
  • Has a dance floor for celebration
  • Provides lighting and sound

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
We had our wedding/reception a the Franklin on 6/28/24 and we could not have asked for a better venue or staff. Everyone from the owners, Christina and Danny, to the coordinators, Emily, Cate, and Nichole, and the bar staff/catering staff/every single person we encountered, went above and beyond to make us feel like the only couple in the world throughout the entire process. The space is not only GORGEOUS (your wedding photos will be amazing) but the peace of mind and ease that booking at the Franklin leads to is priceless. Our guests are still raving about the food, drinks, and ambiance. If you’re considering the Franklin—you will not be disappointed. You will be completely taken care of throughout the entire planning process and you will not find a more supportive or flexible venue. I wish we could live our wedding day over and over and the main reason for how wonderful it was is the staff at the Franklin. Thank you to everyone there—we are forever grateful!

I cannot say enough good things about our DJ (Jon)! My now husband and I had some concerns regarding some of our family members and we discussed them with Jon prior to the event. Jon respected our wishes and was so professional about everything. He handled things extremely well. We had an issue with the pastor who married us. We had asked the pastor a week or two prior to the wedding if he would at least come by the reception hall to say the blessing at the wedding (He said yes at the time.), and he no-showed. Jon had announced that the pastor would come up and say the blessing, and of course there was radio silence because we quickly realized the pastor wasn’t there. Once we told Jon that he didn’t show up, Jon said a quick blessing and our meal began. We started the dances, and we could not keep people off of the dance floor. Jon kept pace with the crowd so well and everyone had such a blast! What my husband and I didn’t realize at the time was that my husband’s Uncle Joe had a surprise song picked out for us as well as green Irish polo shirts made for all of us (inside joke) and we essentially had a bit of a flash mob at our wedding. Kudos to Jon for going along with his idea! That was so funny and it made our wedding so special. Overall, it was a wonderful evening and I truly hope every couple is blessed with a DJ like Jon. I don’t think he could have done anything better honestly. You will not find a better DJ in the St. Louis / Metro East area! Thanks Jon!

I launched Allyssa Elaine Events in 2016 and have been spending the last few years in awe of what I get to call my job. I have planned, coordinated, and designed over 250 weddings since our beginning and we are already booking fast for next year! Here at AEE, we are dedicated to giving quality service, building relationships with clients, and providing the best experience at every event. We are always up for any task you hand us and go above and beyond, no questions asked. We love the people that trust us with these important moments in life!

I'm a very organized person and loved wedding planning so l wasn't sure if I needed a wedding coordinator. After attending a few weddings that didn’t have one, I realized we definitely needed someone to be the point person on our wedding day to help with the planning, timeline, logistics and everything else. Looking back, it was the absolute best decision and we’re SO glad we went with Allyssa! Our entire bridal party was so impressed with Allyssa and her team. She made any decisions that came up, solved numerous problems, kept everyone on track, and most importantly, made sure everyone could be present in the moment. My husband and I haven't stopped talking about how flawless our wedding day was and how Allyssa and her team played the biggest part in that! Allyssa has a ton of experience and it shows. She's kind, calm, thoughtful and professional. I can't recommend AEE enough!

I created Emily Novara Photography, LLC because I believe that capturing the best day of your life deserves the same attention to detail that you put into planning it. I love meeting my couples, hearing all about their love stories, getting to know them - like truly getting to know them (most of my brides consider me one of their friends!). My brides trust I understand their vision and are able to enjoy their wedding day because of the communication leading up to it.

Emily is seriously amazing! We had an instant connection of trust and I knew our photos would be perfect. She was there for me through my entire planning process and helped guide me on any changes we needed. For our engagement photos, it was pouring rain and she had a backup plan asap. She makes the photos feel natural and nothing forced. For our wedding day, it rained yet again and Emily took charge of our wedding day. She creates a timeline for you. She was like my day of coordinator too! She came prepared with everything and anything you need. She made sure the day flowed as smooth as possible. Our wedding wouldn’t have been what it was, without her! We love Emily!!

I have a dirty little secret… I never wanted to be a wedding planner. It was never something that was on my radar. The series of events that led me to this industry is, to be honest, not very exciting, inspiring, or important, really, so I’ll skip that part. (Feel free to ask me later.) What is important is that my heart is in help and service. Born and raised in St. Louis, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge about local wedding vendors, traditions, and styles. But after working 12+ years in the industry, I’m down for anything and love working with a couple that has a unique style and vision for their day.

Working with Victoria was 100% the best decision that we made for our wedding planning process. Absolutely worth getting the Ambassador package! From the very beginning, her attention to detail was above and beyond. She truly took the time to listen to what we wanted and came up with a venue and vendor list that was absolutely perfect for our wedding celebration. She is very well organized, professional, knowledgeable, and adaptable - and carried out our Indian wedding to perfection. We are so incredibly happy with how everything turned out. Our guests were amazed at how smoothly the wedding day flowed and the attention to detail. We had an absolutely amazing time and there was nothing we had to worry about at all - everything was just taken care of! We were truly just able to focus on each other and enjoy our wedding day, all thanks to Victoria.

I’ve always been a romantic, a dreamer. From watching my favorite movie of all time (Titanic) to daydreaming about meeting Prince Charming in a trip across the sea (even if I have to travel back to the 18th century to meet a ruggedly handsome Scotsman *cough cough*- big Outlander fan here.). I’ve always been in love with love. Fortunately, I've been able to give all of my creative energy and love for the arts to my photography. I’ve been photographing people on one of the happiest days of their lives for nearly a decade now and I still can’t get enough.

From the moment we first reached out to Emily Nicole Photography, their communication was comfortable, clear, and direct. The entire process of working with them was incredibly smooth. Their work is simply stunning - the photos are exceptional, timeless, and absolutely perfect. They helped make our wedding day go so smoothly, and the bride felt calm and assured knowing everything was going according to plan. They made taking all of our photos a fun and enjoyable experience. If we could rate above 5 stars, we would! We couldn't be happier with the memories they captured for us to cherish forever.

Hey there! I'm Nikki. I have over nine years of event planning experience, including my own wedding in 2022. I am a coordinator with Trinity Griffin Events! My love languages are spreadsheets and fresh flowers. I've been known to cry at the first bite of really good food. The thing that excites me the most about this process is doing the heavy lifting so that you can be truly present for your once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Nikki was extremely professional, kind, thoughtful, smart, creative, helpful, and downright indispensable in the 2 months leading up to our wedding day. On the day itself, she handled so many details both big and small, ran unexpected errands, shared her water with me before I walked down the aisle, bustled me, kept another vendor in line, and just generally RULED. Thanks to her, I was able to stay grounded and focused during the planning phase, which significantly reduced my stress. Nikki has a natural talent for project management and is incredibly organized and caring. She was a critical member of our team and became a trusted friend. My husband and I told everyone that hiring her was the best investment we made for our wedding, and it’s true! We can’t recommend Nikki enough for your special day!

Photography is something I am passionate about because of the trials I have faced in my life. I am a self-made photographer + I love what I do with my whole heart and soul. When I was a senior in high school I lost two of my best friends. Now, any photo I have with those sweet friends are so sentimental to me. The bible verse James 4:14 says, “For you do not know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a Mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” So live your life with purpose, laughter, follow your passions, and strive to love like Jesus each day, because your life is simply a mist in this world.

Atelier 1879 was an absolutely wonderful venue for our wedding. From the very first interaction, the team was easy, helpful, and honest in their communication, guiding us through the planning process with care. The venue itself is a beautiful, rustic, and intimate space that perfectly captured the atmosphere we were going for. We loved everything about our experience at Atelier 1879 - the stunning setting, the loving atmosphere, and the incredible service provided by the staff. Our wedding day was made even more special thanks to this incredible venue. I would highly recommend Atelier 1879 to any couple looking for a truly magical wedding experience.

Katie Forbis | St. Louis-based, available anywhere | In my 18+ years of experience, I have found that the absolute best photos happen when couples are fully present in the moment - enjoying each other, their guests, and themselves. For this reason, I take mostly hands-off approach on wedding days. I do my best not to interfere with the events of the day, or direct the events of the day - instead, I document them as they unfold.

The beauty of Katie's photos speak for themselves--they are emotional, artistic, and eye-catching. But what you can't see in the photos is what an amazing person Katie is. She's exactly who you want to have around you on your wedding day. She is calm, easygoing, and confident, and her photos strike the perfect balance between artistic vision and candid spontaneity. It was amazing how she captured our day while still allowing us to be fully present with each other and our guests. We just can't recommend Vein&Vessel enough. - Nick and Norah
