Many upcoming nuptials have been postponed or completed diverted from original plans due to the global pandemic. Now one of the most popular wedding venues in Downtown St. Louis is offering a new concept: The Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis has increased availability on the Sky Terrace with additional access that has not been granted in the past. With more than 20,000 sq ft of outdoor space, the Sky Terrace is a comfortable place to socially distance for wedding parties ranging in size from exclusively the bride and groom to parties of up to 50 guests. 

Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis invites couples to celebrate their wedding day with an iconic backdrop amid a majestic setting, for an intimate gathering with family and friends under the glow of sunrise or sunset. 

With panoramic views of the Gateway Arch, Mississippi River and downtown skyline, the Sky Terrace provides the perfect setting for a ceremony, reception and celebration for 50 guests or less. “Even with everything that is happening right now, don’t give up the chance to celebrate. With an intimate group of loved ones, there are so many options for crafting unique experiences and thinking a bit out of the box”, says Kristen Swidrak, Director of Catering and Conference Services. 

“Consider capitalizing on the most picturesque times of day when booking an outdoor reception and ceremony. 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”, says Swidrak.  

Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis now grants access to wedding couples celebrating as early as sunrise or ushering in golden hour with unobstructed views on the outdoor Sky Terrace. 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. 

“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”, says Swidrak.  

Each wedding celebration is carefully curated to reflect the personalities and wishes of the bride and groom. With some of the industry’s finest, the talented catering team is on-hand to orchestrate a seamless event from start to finish.  

Stay close to home with the convenience of resort-style amenities in one location. Bridal couples and wedding attendees can easily minimize their footprint with the convenience of on-property amenities that include overnight Arch View accommodations, a 12,000 sq ft spa and salon, bridal lounge, Topgolf Swing Suite, rooftop pool with private cabanas and Cinder House Restaurant by James Beard Award winning chef, Gerard Craft.
