Rooted in History, Designed for Celebration

La Rivière Events is more than just a venue—it’s a living piece of Frenchtown’s vibrant history. Nestled near the banks of the Missouri River in St. Charles, our event space is housed in a lovingly preserved brick building originally constructed in 1864 by a community of German immigrants.

These early settlers brought with them not only strong work ethics, but also a deep sense of community and craftsmanship. The structure they built became a vital cornerstone of local life—hosting businesses, artisans, and gatherings that shaped the spirit of Frenchtown.

A Storied Space, Reimagined

Today, that same red-brick building stands proud—retaining its arched windows, gabled roof, and original 19th-century charm—but reimagined for modern celebrations. From intimate weddings to milestone birthdays, corporate mixers to soulful community events, our space is designed to offer a warm, welcoming environment that honors the past while celebrating the present.

We’ve curated the setting with care, blending rustic architecture with elevated touches. Whether you’re styling it simply or going all-out with luxe décor, La Rivière provides a character-filled canvas for your vision.
