Anyone familiar with St. Charles will tell you, that there is no shortage of entertainment in the area. Next door to our venues is a beautiful Country Inn and Suites. Many of our clients utilize this as they get ready to have their wedding with us. The Ameristar Casino and many other hotels are within 1 mile of our ballrooms. Coming soon: we will have our own Bridal Suite for the day for a flat $450 (just a 2 minute drive from venue.)
