When we first heard that Bevo Mill was suddenly going out of business, we felt horrible for all of the couples in St. Louis who were then stranded without a place to hold their wedding receptions. It turns out we weren't the only ones sad about their predicaments. Banquet halls all over the Lou are stepping in and opening their doors to the couples who were left high and dry.

Michelle of Bounce St.Louis LLC contacted ToastedRav:

We purchased a banquet center in Pevely in December, have some openings for weddings this year and would love to help. We want to work with those who lost money and/or date reservations due to the Bevo Mill closure. We will work with any budget and situation. Due to us taking a banquet center that had been for sale, we may have more openings than usual, and by having the resources of Bounce St. Louis also at our disposal, we can put together an incredible event for a very reasonable cost. Our center is beautiful and newly renovated, and it's open for tours of any kind. We can take a negative situation and turn in into an incredibly positive one; we can help each other in an awesome community effort! I hope we can be of some help for these brides in such an unfortunate situation.
