Royal Sonesta Chase Park Plaza Wedding in St. Louis | Amanda & Mike

Amanda and Mike’s wedding moved across St. Louis with intention. The morning began at her family home, personal and unhurried, before transitioning to The Royal Sonesta Chase Park Plaza, one of the most iconic wedding venues in St. Louis. That contrast between intimacy and architectural scale shaped the entire day.

They chose not to do a first look. Inside Memorial Presbyterian Church, anticipation built naturally. When the doors opened and Amanda stepped into the aisle, the moment felt grounded and real. The light through the windows, the symmetry of the sanctuary, the stillness before their vows. Nothing forced. Nothing overstated.

After the ceremony, we headed to Forest Park for wedding party portraits. Then a stop at Up-Down STL, where they first met. Arcade lights against formal silhouettes created something unexpected. Personal. Slightly playful. It added texture to their St. Louis wedding story.

Their reception at The Royal Sonesta Chase Park Plaza began with candlelight, airy florals, and the kind of ballroom presence that makes a Chase Park Plaza wedding feel elevated from the start. Dinner felt composed. Speeches landed. As the evening unfolded, the dance floor filled and the energy shifted without losing its polish.

Amanda and Mike’s Royal Sonesta Chase Park Plaza wedding shows how a historic St. Louis venue can feel current when the details are considered and the atmosphere stays relaxed but refined.
