Lafayette Park at Lafayette Square – St Louis Parks

the Park at Lafayette Square is a beautiful St Louis Venue for an outdoor wedding.  Lafayette Square Park is located near Soulard  just south of downtown St Louis.   Lafayette Park is said to be the oldest park west of the Mississippi River.  

It is located in the heart of Lafayette Square, St. Louis’ first historic district. See for yourself why so many people say Lafayette Park is the most beautiful park in the city!

Weddings & Private Events in Lafayette Park

The Park House, Gazebo in Lafayette Park as well as the restored bridge and grotto are available year-round for rental. The Park House was originally built as a police substation in the 1800s and retains its historic charm. In recent years it has been refurbished and is used for meetings by neighborhood organizations. In 2009 the attached Gazebo was completed. Lafayette Park Weddings are often held on the restored bridge over the grotto, also. The Kern Pavilion (aka “the boathouse”) is newly restored and available for rent.
