FAQ
Where is the venue?
Preserve Marthasville
105 W S St, Marthasville, MO 63357
A quick note is that to get to the reception area and the ceremony area, there a couple of short staircases. If you are unable to climb these stairs there will be a ramp to both areas around the back of the building.
What do I wear?
Formal to semi-formal with no requests on colors for those to wear, though our colors are Deep Maroon (grooms side), Dark Violet (brides side) and Dark Teal (shared). We only ask for no white dresses as per usual tradition on wedding days.
Keep in mind that all parts of our event will be inside but it still is mid September in the Midwest, you never know what we are going to get weather wise.
May we take pictures?
We ask that all phones and cameras be turned off and put away for the ceremony portion of the event, but other than that we welcome you to take as many as you would like at any other time.
While we also welcome you to take as many photos as you like during the reception, we do also ask that you remain seated during the spotlight times at the reception like the speeches and dances. We will have 2 amazing photographers running around throughout capturing every moment at amazing angles.
May I bring my kids?
Elizabeth will be there so of course! We only ask that you make your best judgement as to whether your children are ready for this type of event, do not make another guest play babysitter for your children please.
There is also a playground across the street from the venue for kids to play at with adult supervision during appropriate times!
Where do I park?
While the venue it self does not have a parking lot there is plenty of street parking around it in town. There is also the park across the street on the western side of the building with it’s lot and another small lot across the street on the southern side with limited spots.
Are there any places to stay nearby?
Absolutely! If you so choose we recommend looking at Washington, Missouri less than 15 minutes away from Marthasville. Please see our Travel page for more details.
