The venue boasts an elegant chapel, a well-manicured outdoor ceremony space and a stunning, southern inspired 7,500 sqft reception facility. On the exterior, massive white columns are the forefront to gorgeous black accents and a handcrafted wrought iron chandelier. Inside, a custom-carved mantle is the showpiece of the foyer. Our contemporary parlor gives way to a large all-white ballroom accented by a vast greenery ceiling. Southern Charm Estate has been host to intimate weddings, corporate events and social gatherings. At SCE , we wholeheartedly love what we do and are excited make your dream event a reality.

Although there are many beautiful wedding venues in the 417, we believe that there are only a small handful of venues that truly deliver for their couples. Sharing their knowledge of the wedding industry and amazing local vendors to create a beautiful and memorable experience for everyone involved. We believe that our venue fits into this category. And…. when you begin to add in some of that Southern Charm that owners Christine and James bring to the table, you have something truly special.

 
 
 
 
 
 

the Grand Unveiling!

From the inception of our plans in 2020 and with the incredible support of our beloved couples, our vision has materialized into reality with the completion of our chapel remodel. After an intensive 9-week renovation period, we unveiled a stunning transformation. Our goal was to craft an enduring, timeless space that would serve as an impressive backdrop for the beautiful unions we celebrate. Stepping through the frosted glass sliding doors, your guests will now enter a bright, spacious ceremony area adorned with tasteful touches of greenery along the back wall, infusing a modern essence into the space. Carefully designed stage and pointed arch windows, guided by the expertise of some of the area’s best photographers, allow natural light to grace the space without overpowering the intimacy of your special moment. Above our bespoke pews, wrought iron chandeliers hang gracefully, mirroring the elegant wrought iron elements found in this ravishing reception space. Every detail in this meticulously planned space reflects the collective creativity of many minds, destined to witness countless remarkable beginnings!

MEET THE OWNERS

JAMES and CHRISTINE BENTON

Thirty years ago, James and I were married in a small chapel in Southern Georgia. When we moved to Missouri in 2017, we thought it would be special to take our small wedding experience and pair it with the grandeur of southern architecture. For the last several years, we’ve hosted hundreds of events here at Southern Charm Estate. We are truly grateful to be able to celebrate beautiful milestones with people as a career! Let us help you celebrate yours!
