If you’re looking for a small wedding venue for 50 guests or less in Missouri you’ve come to the right place. There are tons of great options when it comes to small wedding venues in Missouri for your intimate celebration. Whether it’s the urban spaces in St. Louis or Kansas City, a historic farm venue in Ozark, or a perfect weekend wedding retreat in Blue Eye. We’ve rounded up the best wedding venues, including venues with lodging (hello, camp wedding!) and even affordable venues like Airbnbs!
I know from personal experience that finding a wedding venue for your micro wedding can be tricky, but we’re here to help! This list is certainly not every single possible venue option for a small wedding venue in Missouri so if you don’t find what you’re looking for here, be sure to check out our guides for finding small wedding venues and Airbnb wedding venues.
Renovated St. Louis landmark, featuring stained glass windows and iron chandeliers, this intimate space is perfect for your small wedding.
Verde on Cherokee is a modern, urban greenhouse right in St. Louis! Their space is perfect for weddings with 50 guests or less and their affordable packages are totally customizable. This is one of those spaces where the natural ambiance and decor would lend itself to a beautiful event as is, but you could totally embellish it with additional decor if you wanted to.
Brookdale Farms is a premier farm venue in St. Louis offers everything you get from a big wedding but at an affordable price for up to 30 guests. They also offer an elopement package for up to 20 guests. The property includes a rustic barn and chic new silo.
Have your ceremony at The Chateau and your reception next door at The Chalet. Silver Oaks Chateau is a french-inspired venue just west of St. Louis and offers convenient package options and discounts on some of their preferred vendors. Add lodging for up to 18 people and make it a wedding weekend.
Another great wedding package specifically for micro weddings or elopements. The property overlooks the Missouri River and is surrounded by gorgeous countryside just minutes from Hermann. Have your ceremony at the Chapel or Gazebo for up to 50 guests and enjoy an overnight stay.
Another great option for a weekend wedding! Rent the entire property for 2 nights for up to 12 people. Host additional guests for your ceremony and reception. This is one of those venues that offers great discounts for weekday weddings so if you love it but the weekend rates are not in your budget, snag a weekday date for about a third of the price!
Nestled on a picturesque 150-year-old family farm, Cassidy Station is perfect for micro weddings. The property features carefully restored historic buildings, preserving their original character while incorporating modern amenities. Inside, you'll find the spaces are both classy and inviting with neutral color palettes and subtle touches of the old farm buildings.
Enchanted Hills — Springfield
We love a venue that focuses on small weddings and Enchanted Hills is one of those venues! They offer a few packages for outdoor elopements and small weddings. Their full ceremony and reception package includes use of their gorgeous outdoor space including a pond (with indoor space for backup), a getting ready suite, and some great decor amenities like string lights, and more.
Waterfront Weddings — Lake of the Ozarks
Great for destination weddings on the lake! Waterfront Weddings at Lake of the Ozarks offers 4 convenient all-inclusive packages for up to 30 guests. Their packages are specifically designed for “couples looking for a more intimate, affordable ceremony”.
The Glass Haus is an incredible luxury wedding venue in Blue Eye set among scenic woodland and overlooking Table Rock Lake that offers tons of options when it comes to hosting an elopement or micro wedding. Their packages include elopement, single day, and deluxe 3-day packages. We love the wedding weekend option which includes use of their Treehaus Village for you and up to 38 guests. Most packages include use of the entire property, cozy outdoor fireplaces, outdoor games, vintage table settings, and more.
Here are some options for private home rentals through Airbnb and VRBO for your wedding venue. As usual, I was able to find more suitable properties on VRBO since their event policy is a little more generous.
Airbnb and VRBO wedding venues are perfect if you’re planning a backyard style wedding or a retreat-style wedding. Some of these properties are large enough to accommodate your entire small wedding guest list which also makes them a perfect choice for a destination wedding. Here are some of my favorites.
This list includes options for both elopements and micro weddings. While the total allowed number of guests may vary, they’re all approved for weddings!
We prefer looking for private home rentals for wedding venues on VRBO because their event policies are a lot more generous than on Airbnb. Still, you have to be sure they're allowed which you can do by checking the policy section on each listing.
It is possible to find wedding venues on Airbnb but it can be a little tricky due to restrictions placed on events a few years ago. It's not my go-to, but if you're willing to put in a lot of time for research and contacing properties you might turn up a gem or two. Here's one that I found in my research.
When it comes to small wedding venues, Missouri has some great options. If you know of a perfect small wedding venue that you don’t see on the list, be sure to get in touch.
