The Sheldon Concert Hall is a fabulous venue -- especially if you want your guests to absolutely rave about attending your event. The ballroom was spectacular as well as the acoustics were great for the pianist, harpist and other artist/performers. From the point of the first contact with the Sheldon (Jennifer and Rachel) to all the many emails and telephone calls to the "day of" to organize and coordinate the event (and yes, I did this all remotely as I live in California), to the rehearsal to sound check (with Tim who's highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable tech engineer)-- the Sheldon delivered a flawless event. The team is professional and very responsive to meeting the needs and expectations of their customers I appreciated the attention to detail and their engagement, involvement, and frankly speaking sincere and genuine interest in ensuring the success of the event. Together, along with professional bartenders, to the performers to the Floral Jazz - florist (who by the way did an amazing job with the centerpieces) to the Hendri's- caterer, etc -- the food was amazing and the staff was absolutely the best. The staff attended to every detail and no task was too little or too big for them to handle. Simply put, we created memories that will last a lifetime. The guests thoroughly enjoyed attending the event, The venue was great (absolutely beautiful ballroom) and the artist were incredible. Even the artists who are seasoned and perform all over including Broadway mentioned it was a fabulous venue and one of the best places and that they enjoyed performing here as well. They said they'd be back for the 61st Anniversary Soiree. LOL! Sheldon is an awesome venue with incredible, responsive and talented staff who really puts the customer first and delivered the "disney-like" customer service experience. I can highly recommend this venue -- and all and all -- everyone made it look so easy (but I know there was a lot of coordination and planning behind the scenes).
In the beginning I did not know how everything would come together, seeing as how I put the wedding together myself, but Laurie and her staff handled everything and I did not have to worry about anything when i got there. I too had my wedding and reception there and people are still talking about it. Their staff is top of the line and they made my wedding feel special to me. I would not change anything about it. They provide the tables and the chairs which is a big savings. They also have a bar that you can choose a cash bar or a package deal. Bottom line Laurie and her staff are simply the best even providing your coordinator for the day....
We had our wedding and reception at the Sheldon Concert Hall in St. Louis, Missouri. The wedding was in the concert hall with drinks in the art gallery, and reception in their largest reception hall. The concert hall is a beautiful setting and being able to have everything in once place made coordination so much easier. It's just off of Grand, and we were able to take some beautiful photos with some great urban architecture. You will need to find your own caterer though, but the Sheldon can give you recommendations.
