Monarch Private Event Space

Just there for a wedding reception on Saturday night… food was good. The heat was unbearable, but that wasn’t their fault… I think they had captured the sun and it was heating up the building. Apparently the sun switched places with the moon last week, and St. Louis heat index on Saturday was 117. Like I said, the apps and dinner were solid, beyond that… it was a 1000 degrees and the eating-​dance floor area, was, well… not good.

I attended Alive Magazine’s Handmade Holiday Party at Monarch. This was my first time visiting this beautiful venue.
The space is truly unique! They have an awesome bar in the main room that is huge. Big bars are sooo fun. Next to the bar, they have plenty of swanky booths to sit at but most importantly there is plenty of room to gather. They have a long hallway-​type space to the front right and a large/​open room that’s perfect for large crowds.
The décor is also nice and has perfect dimming lights for an evening party. This space is so unique and fun you can use it for almost anything!
I would highly recommend checking it out if you are looking for an event space to rent.

I went to Alive Magazine’s Handmade Holiday Party and the location was at Monarch.
Overall the space is wonderful for events such as this that host different shopping vendors or possibly meetings or group events that need separate areas.
If you are looking for a large space for a reception of sort where you want everyone in one large room, this location is not for you.
They have valet parking available, but I chose to park (illegally?) in the Shop n Save lot across the street.
They have a GREAT coat check area (It rotates! — I was impressed)
The bar is fantastic, and there are some pretty cool round tufted leather booths off to the side.
The room this is in, is very large, great for a band or dj set up and dancing!
There are two side rooms, one smaller, and one larger in the back.
If you need a unique place to host a party, you found it!

Attended a private cocktail party here the other night for the first time. This is a beautiful space! Everything is warm and inviting and very sophisticated. There is over 10,000 sq feet of available space according to their site so plenty of room for any party.
The hor d’oeuvres served at the party were all very tasty and they just kept getting better and better.
I’d highly recommend them for your next wedding or other event.
