Bonne Terre was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the start, their communication style was open, honest and collaborative - they were so easy going in helping us customize every detail to bring our vision to life. Even on a rainy day, the classic chapel and reception spaces felt like our own little weekend wedding getaway, and everything turned out exactly as we had imagined. Bonne Terre allowed all of my ideas to come to life, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. We wish we could relive it over and over again!

We had our wedding at No 2 Vance and it was an incredible experience. Josh was very helpful and made sure everything was perfect. The venue is beautiful. I loved that our caterer could set up food in a separate area, and we had a bar area along with a dance floor, in addition to tables and chairs set up. We also hung out on the deck during the reception. We had a fabulous wedding and reception, and are so grateful for the venue playing a huge role in our special day!
