Windows on washington st louis closing

Studio was told there would be someone there at 7 am, we were there with truckfuls of costumes and props, sound company, staging company, no one from WOW showed up. We sat in the cold for and hour and a half before someone showed up with all kinds of excuses, then they ran out of food at the reception. Our dancers showed up on time only wished WOW staff could have done the same.

Our dancers performed beautifully only wish WOW could have. Never again!!!!! Donna M. November 29, 1 Windows Off Washington. Windows On and Off Washington is hands down one of the best places in St. Louis for weddings. With a champagne greeting when you first come in to the downtown loft feel, it's amazing!!!

Our planner, Colleen, did a great job from start to finish. I felt like I was planning my wedding with a good friend not just another planner. Oh and the food was wonderful, all my guests just raved about it! Kelly H. October 08, 5 Windows Off Washington. Windows off Washington is a mess and very dangerous.. A line stretched outside the building for guests to get up to their receptions 4 weddings on the same floor and a prom and not even an elevator for the personell and bands.

What if a fire started this could be a catastrophy, deaths never will i recommend this place horrible and at the end of the night rediculous you had to walk down 10 flights of stairs tired and in heels unless you wanted to wait over an hour to go down the elevators. This is criminal. Im exhausted!! Catherine s.

I can't tell you how many people came up to me throughout the night and told me this was the most beautiful wedding venue they'd ever seen. We certainly loved it! Hi Carter, Thank you so much for your kind words regarding our venue and staff. WOW was the simplest wedding decision we had to make. We visited many venues, and nothing compared to the beauty and value of WOW. The open, industrial look with exposed brick and pipe was everything we wanted, plus the stunning downtown views You cannot beat the value with the packages including space, food, beverages, tables, chairs, linens, and decor.

Parking was simple and safe for our guests. Everything was perfect the night of our wedding. Emily, our Coordinator, was marvelous. I highly recommend this fantastic venue! Hi Maddie, Thank you so much for the lovely review!

Our son's rehearsal dinner was perfect in every way. The venue was amazing and the food delicious. The servers were helpful and friendly--very professional in every way! Thank you WOW for a memorable, fun evening! Hi Ron and Mary, Thank you so much for your kind review! We enjoyed having you and your guests here for your son's rehearsal dinner.

We wish him and his wife a lifetime of happiness! We held a corporate awards ceremony on a Thursday night at WOW for about people. The coordination prior to the event was seamless. Emily helped answer all of our questions!

We would recommend WOW to anyone looking for a venue for a corpo Hi Courtney, Thank you so much for your kind words! We enjoyed hosting your awards ceremony. We hope you and your guests had a wonderful evening with us here at WOW. Please let us know if we can assist you in the future. We had our ceremony and reception on WOW's 8th floor, and we could not be more pleased with the experience.

My husband and I live abroad and WOW was very accommodating to our situation as they were willing to video chat frequently, and were ver We loved that WOW is a "full service" venue, from catering, to most decor, etc. I did not work with a wedding planner, so I appreciated WOW's organization and knowledge.

Would highly recommend! Hi Kendra! Thank you so much for your kind words and awesome review regarding our venue and staff. We hope you and your guests had a wonderful evening here at Windows On Washington.

I searched for months to find a venue that was efficient and effective for our once in a lifetime party. Spreadsheets were involved Windows on Washington has been a staple in STL for quite some time and I was thrilled to learn that the price An all inclusive package is hard to come by especially when they throw in garden lights and japanese lanterns into the mixture of decor choices.

The pre-party champagne and champagne toast were also included in our package and the andes mint departure made me and my grandmother swoon. The 7th floor bar had a classic downtown STL look with a dark wood that contrasted beautifully with the light wood floors and tall glass windows.

I love wood flooring and the moment I walked into the loft style venue it took my breathe away. The lighted trees and votives in the window gave our wedding a special ambiance that made the night feel like a fairytale. I was able to coordinate and come in the afternoon before to set up the extra decor we had planned out and was even given a layout so we could really get into the planning.

Our coordinator switched a few times but actually it is true what they say it will all work it out in the end because when I called to see what was up Emily reassured me that it would all be okay and she immediately updated me on the ongoings of who would be our coordinator.

This brings me to Melissa! Oh what a lovely surprise to work with such a patient, organized, compassionate human being! She answered all of my families zany questions, dealt with some tense moments between me and my mom, and she pulled out a protractor during the table layout planning meeting!

This woman knows how to plan and she was gracious enough to make so many revisions to our proposal and email the updated one back the same day or the very next day. I was relieved to know that someone who can organize was coordinating my event! The food was delicious and I highly recommend the gouda cheese puff and toasted raviolis were divine! The salad, prime rib, roasted veggies and mashed potatoes put an extra oomph on the evening.

Our donut table was fun and actually very easy to arrange as we were able to plate the donuts ourselves and the team at Windows set them out for us and even refilled them the whole night.

The balconies on either end was an addition I could not live without as we have some smokers in our family and one balcony was a smoking section and the other was just to gaze out into the city where the Arch is peeking up over some of the oldest buildings in STL.

Our event captain, Steve, made sure that my husband and I were as happy as we could be and he was so polite and ensured we had enough food and drinks the whole evening! We partied it up in the middle of downtown St.

Louis in a venue that made me feel like we were exactly in the heart of the city that I love the most. We were gifted a bottle of champagne by the wonderful Windows on Washington team and we cannot thank them enough for their support! Hi Emma! We could not have been happier with Windows on Washington as our wedding reception venue.

Such a beautiful space in a great location. Their recent renovations look great as well; a lot of our guests complimented the space and the bar. We wer The evening of we had a party captain that frequently checked in with us and made sure the timing of the evening's events were going as planned. All-around they made our wedding day a great one.

Couldn't recommend them more! Paige, Thank you so much for the lovely review! We wish you and Alex a wonderful life together! The time leading up to our wedding reception was fraught with problems. At first, our coordinator was often difficult to reach. It turns out they were replaced with someone else, and we found out because we emailed them and an email came back s This was fine, as turnover is bound to happen at any company.

This same situation then happened once more less than a month before the wedding reception. Easily the worst mistake made by Windows, however, was when they contacted us 4 months before our wedding day and told us that they double booked our reservation for our wedding reception.

They asked us to reschedule our wedding day and gave us dates that they had available. Seeing as we had already booked all other vendors for that day ceremony, officiant, photographer, DJ, flowers, lodging, transportation, catering, etc. In addition, they stated they were not willing to pay for the inconvenience to reschedule different vendors for a different reception date. We immediately began scrambling to find another venue because it would have been incredibly ignorant to lose all of our vendor deposits and pay for all new vendors because of an error on WoW's part.

Two days later after the original call, they said they would actually honor our contract they signed with us, without explanation. Honestly, this kind of practice is entirely unprofessional and completely inexcusable. Aside from the lack of communication due to changing our coordinator 3 times and trying to leave us without a venue on very short notice, the reception itself was excellent.

The food came out in a timely fashion and was hot and delicious. They worked well with our vendors and everything went smoothly that night. We have only praise for the experience itself.

We do not know if we would recommend WoW to a friend or not. Poor business practices for months leading up to the event severely mar an otherwise flawless night.

Maybe going forward, add your own addendum to the contract to ensure you are not without compensation when they try to reschedule your reception with very little notice. Hi Sarah, we are glad everything worked out for the best.

Thank you for your review, which will help us improve! They decided since we were the second ones to place the deposit, we were the ones getting bumped! We had to We had already paid a deposit and multiple payments and attended the decor show and no one realized we were double booked!! I don't know how this can happen in the event planning business.

When we came to get our money back, talking with the misogynistic owner, Tom, was painful. He thought changing our date was no big deal. The new date he had available for us was 3 days after we returned from our already booked international honeymoon. He clearly had no awareness of how wedding planning works! It seems like from other reviews this venue has high staff turn over and a lot of disorganization. Avoid a wedding catastrophe and choose a venue that actually cares about you.

I Thank goodness that there are other amazing venues in St. Louis and an one of them stepped up to the plate with four months notice to give us the wedding of our dreams. Windows on Washington could have cared less. Thank you so much for your kind words, Sarah! We hope you had a wonderful evening!

I'm really happy we chose Windows as our reception venue. The room is large and expansive yet intimate at the same time. The food was outstanding, the service level extraordinary. Staff was friendly and our event coordinator always responded We went through about three coordinators over a 13 month time period.

In a business like this, turnover can be high. But, I think the event coordinators are SO good at what they do that they are easily snatched up by other places. But when one left, another stepped in without missing a beat so don't let that scare you. Our event coordinator we had for most of the planning period was outstanding. It's obvious the venue has high expectations and they only hire people who can meet them. Windows is lucky to have the event coordinator we had.

She was beyond fantastic! I only have one complaint. They messed up something in our contract and didn't properly charge us an extra couple hundred for an option. It took them 10 months after we signed the contract to discover this.

It was completely their error as the contract had been signed months before. It was their error and they had already signed the contract months before. It felt a bit like a shake down. However, the service we received exceeded expectations, which were already high.

They are top notch and experts at what they do. I would have no hesitation recommending them. Just make sure the contract is correct! Hi Allison, Thank you so much for your kind words regarding our venue and staff. Our experience with this vendor was at first fairly good.

We were impressed by what they had to offer and so we paid thinking we were going to get the best service. There are a lot of other venues in St. Louis that could probably better serve you. We loved our wedding reception at WOW!

We had a fantastic experience. We loved the atmosphere, the food, and the location! Highly recommend! Hi Jordan, Thank you so much for your kind review. Windows on Washington was the perfect venue for our wedding!

Planning was easy and the night was perfect. Emily was great to work with and made sure everything was taken care of. Hi Katharine, Thank you so much for you lovely review. We are thrilled to hear you had a wonderful experience with us. WOW was such an amazing venue for our wedding day! Everything from the staff and ambience, to the food and hospitality--we seriously couldn't ask for more!! We had our coordinators switched three times during our year-long engagement but struck She was a class-act and is so incredibly organized!

We felt very taken care of all day long and we heard so many rave reviews from our guests as well! Thank you so much for making our day spectacular! Hi Laura, Thank you so much of your kind review. We are glad to hear you and your guests had a wonderful evening with us. My daughter had her wedding reception at Windows on Washington. The evening was perfect. The entire staff was professional, friendly and hard working.

The room was beautiful and Hi Laura, Thank you for your kind review. We are happy to hear you and your guests had a wonderful experience with Windows On Washington. The venue is so stunning! The food was great! Everything was easy for all the vendors to come in and set up. Everything went so smoothly. They had multiple options for packages and bar. They have lots of awesome options for decor which is over The only thing we struggled with was, we had three different coordinators throughout the process.

Hi Ashley, Thank you so much for your kind review. Everything we wanted and more. The planning process and communication was extremely easy. The room looked beautiful for our ceremony and reception and the food was amazing! Hi Lauren, Thank you so much for your kind words. We had a few different coordinators leading up to our wedding, however each one was professional and helped tremendously.

Emily and her team prepared everything just as we asked. They included all of the details we wanted and we available at al The venue was perfect. All of the new renovations added to ambiance. It was a night to remember! Thank you Heather and Marvin for you kind review. We are thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful experience with Windows On Washington.

WOW was the best venue for our ceremony and reception! None my the wedding party nor family members lived in St. Louis so we needed a one-stop-shop venue that could do it all! For example, rehearsal space, ceremony, reception, linens, catering, Everything was handled by WOW which was so nice not having to deal with multiple vendors.

They had an amazing food menu, drink options, linens and more! We would highly recommend WOW for a ceremony and reception! That way, once you and your guests get to the venue, you don't have to travel anywhere else until the reception concludes.

We worked with Emily at WOW and she was wonderful! She explained all package options and had a preset wedding timeline which was extremely helpful. Hi Rachel, Thank you so much for your kind review!

We wish you the best! We had our reception at Windows on Washington. When we initially booked with the venue they were absolutely wonderful. After our original event planner quit, we were given a different coordinator who didn't have good communication and was quite Unfortunately, that coordinator was fired and we were then given to the manager who happens to be the owner.

The owner did a decent job, however did not make an appearance at our reception that night when he said he would be there. My grandfather had to yell at the staff because they served guests before the Bride and Groom and there was an extremely long pause between salads and the main course. It was unorganized and the staff did not care. Guests complained about how rude the bartenders were.

No one boxed up our desserts at the end of the night either. I am very disappointed in this venue. It is beautiful, but horrible service. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who spends a decent amount of money and gets the service we received in return. This place exceeded our expectation! Emily W. The packages were tailored to our wants and needs, they set up all of the decorations we got from them! We had a Saturday wedding, but no one Hi Julia, Thank you so much for your kind review.

We hope you had a wonderful evening and we wish you a lifetime of happiness. My husband and I booked WOW for our wedding ceremony on the 6th floor and reception on the 8th floor.

This venue hands down beat every other venue in similar price range. The exposed brick, vaulted ceilings, and windows are breathtaking. My hu Emily was our event coordinator and she was absolutely amazing. She was so quick to respond to calls and emails and answered all of our questions. Emily even helped out with our timeline for the wedding day. We were able to decorate the day before the wedding allowing us to not stress over it on our big day.

We had many compliments that night on how great the food was. We had over guests and they had the event properly staffed with no lines at the bar. The shuttle and parking lot was easy to use for all of our guests. We would highly recommend WOW for your venue needs!

Hi Laci, Thank you so much for your kind review. We are glad to hear you had a wonderful evening here at Windows On Washington. If you want to have a wedding reception in downtown St. Louis, you must go to Windows on Washington.

Their packages options are wonderful, flexible and a great value for money no hidden fees, multiple package options, taxes and tipping include The venue itself is gorgeous, we were on the 7th floor and it was perfect!

The staff is the best around. From our coordinator to every single server, we and our guest were treated so well.

I will always look back on our big day with such fond memories and Windows on Washington played a huge part in making that possible. I cannot day enough great things about this venue and company! Hi Kylie, Thank you so much for your kind review.

I loved our reception!!! Emily did a great job helping get everything picked out, and she organized it all! Everything went smoothly! Hi Annie, Thank you so much for your kind review. Day went great! My event person and day-of-staff made everything run smoothly. Windows on Washington did an awesome job accommodating us for our reception. Great service and very professional. We just had our reception for our daughter's wedding there in October and everything was perfect.

Emily was great to work with and helped us with ideas and suggestions but embraced our ideas as well! The parking and shuttle were wonderful as Everyone raved about the food and the room was simply beautiful. Also, you never would know there were other parties going on above or below you which was a concern. I would definitely highly recommend this venue and will use it again if the opportunity presents itself.

Thank you! Thank you, Anne, for the kind words! We loved having your daughter's event at Windows and we are happy that your guests had a wonderful time! And they say they have no security Cameras. We had over 20 presents missing and we noticed a couple that was not invited.

They left when we approached them. Now we will be in an investigation to see if it was there staff or crashers. And windows did not care to help at all 3. The staff was rude and over an hour before the event was over was smashing plates one on top of the other on fresh pieces of cake while people were dancing and would come back to eat it. They threw away the cake pillars that we had to return for a deposit and when my mom asked one of the staff to get them they would not. We lost our deposit on that.

We had party favors that were not eaten and again over an house before the event was over they threw them away. Our guest were going to take those home as a memento. Very upset that I paid A LOT of money to have my wedding here and they treated me and my wedding rudely and to this day do not care of what all went down at their venue.

Would not suggest this place unless you want to be ripped off and just another money maker for them. I am so happy we chose this venue - Windows on Washington is not just a stunning location for a wedding and reception, but we also had a fantastic WoW team behind the scenes helping to pull together the perfect night for us.

Emily and Tom spare For the months leading up to our big day, Emily was available and eager to answer every one of our questions no matter how trivial.

They were flexible in allowing us to make our own custom arrangements throughout the floor space. The 8th floor, with higher ceilings, a beautiful bar and spanning city views, was well worth the cost. We had a wonderful decor package as well, that pulled the whole room together. And the food was wonderful! Obviously the bridal party was so busy running around to greet everyone that we barely had time to stop and eat - and yet the WoW staff was so kind and thoughtful to keep some of the passed appetizers for us at our head table.

Simple touches like that are a great example of the service you can expect from Windows on Washington. The only downside is that the maximum time at the venue is 5 hours. We had an earlier ceremony time, and reception is required to start immediately following the ceremony. This meant our wedding ended a bit earlier than we would have liked, and we had to move the celebrations to an afterparty.

All of our guests had a fantastic time nonetheless, so we would still absolutely recommend this venue! Andrea, thank you very much for the sweet review!

We truly appreciate it and we wish you the best! Everything about Windows on Washington was amazing! All-inclusive Reception place! The staff was always great to work with and they took so much stress off my plate as the bride. Great STL vibe for our out of town guests! We received nothing bu Heather, we are very happy that you had a wonderful experience with Windows.

Thank you for your feedback! My husband and I had our wedding reception here in September on the 7th floor! The food was absolutely amazing and many of the guests had wonderful things to say. The Windows staff were so helpful and ma We highly recommend Windows on Washington!

Sierra, we are so happy that you and your guests had a wonderful time here at Windows! We were happy to have you.. We hosted our daughters wedding reception at WOW on Cece was a pleasure to work with and she made all the decision making very easy. We had 2 guests that use wheelchairs and had no difficulties for them. The food was I will highly recommend WOW as a fantastic venue for any event!!

Windows On Washington is a beautiful venue. We were on the 7th floor and worked with Jenn as our event coordinator. Jenn was so helpful throughout the planning process, answering all of our questions promptly and thoroughly, and making sure we But all in all that was a very minimal complaint and everything was wonderful!
