Cool New Venue for Receptions

Last weekend I got to experience one of the best reception locations I've ever been to. It is brand new, and it is fantastic. No detail has been overlooked. It is trendy, is super hip, is designed with class and taste. The food is AMAZING (words cannot express), and the service is unmatched. So you probably are wondering what street in St.Louis this new place is located. Well, it's not in the Lou... it's in Gillespie Illinois. Where in the heck is Gillespie IL?
Make a road trip and find out... because it's worth it. In fact, take your mom there this mother's day, because they are having a Mother's Day brunch that will blow you away! I'll be there, and you better get some tastiness before me because after I roll through the line there will be SLIM pickins left!


The name of this great place is JoDanni's Amore. JoDanni's is a very popular catering company, and from those in my neck of the woods, you've probably gone to their restaurant as well. But for 2 years now they've been designing this amazing new venue, and May 3rd was their debut. I must say - I've been in some places in St.Louis that are wonderful, but this is by far my favorite!

Just look at how blown away Gina the Bride is as she sees it for the first time!


The outside - the patio had a beautiful tent set up!


The lighting was custom designed to match the bride and grooms colors. It gave such a nice atmosphere to the room.


And the tent was SO inviting and had such a great atmosphere as well!

OMG - Have I mentioned the food? My mouth is watering...


Check out some more views ~







For more information on this beautiful place, you'll want to contact Dana...(FYI - not only is Dana amazingly sweet, she's the creative mastermind behind everything - down to the decorating)

and speak about your options. They will also be holding many events open to the public throughout the year, so keep an eye out as I am certain they will be fantastic!
