We are heartbroken by the devastation caused by the tornado that touched down in the heart of our city—impacting our zoo, our neighborhood, and our wedding venue. We are incredibly grateful that the building was not damaged, and we’re still able to celebrate our wedding today.

Our amazing vendor team is working hard to get everything up and running as smoothly as possible. Please allow extra time for travel, as some roads in the area are still closed—Kingshighway, in particular, will likely remain closed throughout the day.

We look forward to seeing you this evening and finding a little light after the storm.

Once the cleanup is complete, we hope you’ll consider visiting the stores and businesses affected by the storm, and if you’re able, donating to the St. Louis Zoo. Our community will need all the love and support it can get in the days ahead.

With love,

Rachel & David
