While we did not use the Franklin as our venue, we did use them as our caterer for our wedding and we simply cannot say enough good things. Christina and her whole team are so nice and were an absolute dream to work with, and their food is the absolute best! Everything we tasted, from salads to appetizers to main dishes, during the process was so good and so many of our guests were raving about their themed BBQ dinner. Whether its just for catering, or for their whole event space package, you cannot go wrong with this team. We would choose them again without a second thought...so so great!

We had our wedding reception at the Franklin in January and we choose to do it there again in a heartbeat. The team was very responsive to my multiple emails and never made me feel like any of my questions were annoying (because I had a lot!!) We visited quite a few venues before deciding on the Franklin. Many seemed like a deal to begin with, but then would mention for the nicer plates or chairs or table cloths or napkins that you would have to pay more per person. At the Franklin, you pick your food and your drink package per person and that is pretty much your price! I really appreciated that they did not hide any upcharges in their pricing.The day of ran so smoothly thanks to the managers helping us to create and stick to a timeline. We were kind of in a whirlwind that day but staff made sure that we were taken care of and that we always had everything we needed. We have had many guests tell us how beautiful everything looked and say how much fun they had. It ended up being the perfect night!

As an engaged couple, you hear so many horror stories when planning your wedding. I had my worries going into wedding planning.... Christina and Danny were a dream to work with. They eased all my fears and helped to make our wedding the absolute best day! The Franklin team exceeded all our expectations for a wedding reception venue! From our first communication to wedding follow up, they went above and beyond. Christina and Danny were so welcoming and kind from our first tour of the Franklin. Once we booked, they were so helpful with planning. They helped us find other vendors and answered any wedding questions I had. Wedding planning can be crazy and Christina always made herself available to talk through wedding concerns/plans with me. When it got closer to the big day, they were so accommodating and helpful at our tastings. They also held "details" meetings with us to ensure our vision was met. They helped us build a timeline for our entire wedding day (anyone planning a wedding knows this is a huge task). On the big day, the team came up to us multiple times throughout the reception to see if we needed anything. The entire Franklin team (especially Christina and Danny) was amazing to work with. I cannot speak more highly of them! They are highly professional, timely, excellent communicators, and overall just great people. Thank you for the best wedding experience!! Best venue in STL

The Franklin of Soulard as a venue – 5/5 stars!The Franklin of Soulard team – 100/5 stars!This beautiful venue comes with an even better team that will ensure your day runs smoothly and your reception is everything you could want. I've heard some horror stories from friends about other venues not staying in contact with them or only providing the space and nothing else – that's not at all what I've experienced at The Franklin. Christina and the whole team ensured we were just well taken care of. The food was amazing, and my favorite part of planning was that delicious tasting. The final details meeting set everything in place, and they answered every single question we had.All in all, this team is so accommodating, and the venue was a beautiful backdrop to my Christmasy wedding. Thank you so much for helping make our day the absolute best!

The Franklin hosted my wedding reception back in September and it was truly wonderful. Christina and Daniel and their team made the planning process go so smoothly. I was planning the wedding while living out of state and they were always flexible and accommodating to meet our needs. The food was perfect and the venue was beautiful. I am so happy that we chose The Franklin and highly recommend the venue for any reception or local event.

Danny and Christina poured so much love and hard work into an already gorgeous building and created the most beautiful wedding venue in St. Louis. Christina, Emily, and Cate were all exceptional about answering any and all questions I had super quickly and they made sure everything ran smoothly the day of. We got so many compliments on our dinner and people are still bringing up how great the food was and not like “typical wedding food.” Everything about The Franklin is amazing, I would recommend any and everyone to get married here!

From the day we met Christina and Dan we knew The Franklin Room was the spot for my daughter's wedding. They were so sweet, knowledgeable and helpful. Literally so accommodating and willing to help in any way to bring our vision to life. It was the perfect day! Food was fabulous, they served 250 people in less than 15 minutes, never a wait at the bar and everything looked beautiful! I can't say enough about how amazing the staff is too! I would recommend the Franklin Room for any special event!

Our daughter and son in laws wedding was October 14, 2023. We had almost 300 guests at the Franklin and everyone just loved the venue. We all had the best day from the food, the staff, our guests and team. I can’t say enough about Christina and Daniel, they are amazing and I am sad not to talk with them about our event anymore. They made everyone feel special and the day was filled with love and celebration.Truly the best ❤️❤️❤️

I cannot say enough nice things about The Franklin of Soulard. We booked 20 months before our wedding date and during that entire time period I always felt like a priority. You get so much for your money & I never felt like they were trying to nickel and dime us for silly stuff (can’t say that about other places we toured). The bridal suite is HUGE which was so nice for the day of. The space is beautiful but truthfully the staff make this space so unique. Christina & Danny were SO helpful, courteous, and incredibly sincere the entire time. Christina always answered my questions with speed and Danny even helped carry boxes to the car the day after. I knew from the beginning I didnt have to worry about anything and I cannot thank them enough for that huge stress relief! Christina and Danny were always there when we needed them reception night and Lois treated us like royalty making sure we had drinks, desserts, and plenty of food. While planning, they made adjustments to entree sides, brought in specialty drinks we asked for, and NEVER made us feel like it was outrageous request. The food is absolutely incredible, Im not sure I will ever get over it! If you want a space that is beautiful, a wonderful staff, and a place that makes you feel like family… this is it. I wish we could get married here every single weekend, it was truly a dream. Thank you to The Franklin of Soulard for making sure our night was absolutely perfect! We cannot thank you all enough.
