Tucked away in St Clair, MO is the most charming wedding venue for couples that love the outdoors. Lost Hill Lake Weddings and Events is nestled along the Meramec River and is graced with tall bluffs, vast fields, stunning views, and walnut tree groves. Annalise and Curtis were the perfect outdoorsy couple to announce their vows to each other over-looking the Meramec River.

Love Story

Curtis and Annalise met and knew there was something between them. Both valuing the moments together over anything else, they knew an intimate elopement was the perfect way to begin their marriage. As Missouri natives, they treasured all the natural and diverse beauty that Missouri had to offer. They searched for a location that emphasized this beauty and found it in Lost Hill Lake.

Lost Hill Lake Venue

It was easy for this venue to capture their hearts. They had first discovered it while searching for glamping. The venue hosts several glamping sites that allow visitors to reside in restored busses, campers, and vans, each having an unique interior design.

The site hosts one community kitchen and one private kitchen for the bus site. There is an abundance of kayaks and canoes to take across the lake and hiking trails that take you to the stunning thinking rock. At thinking rock, you are able to get a birds eye view of the Meramec River valley.

This lovely couple chose to stay in a classic VW van. They wanted to make sure that the day was about them, but still wanted to be pampered. They chose Lace and Oak Wedding Designs and Décor to create a space that would provide the perfect backdrop for their vows and also find them a cake tasted great and fit the scene. Tiffany did not disappoint. The VW was adorned with vintage boho vibes, stunning flowers, and disco balls. The cake was provided by The Wild Bite who is one very talented Missouri baker.

After enjoying a quick picnic and delicious cake, the couple made their way to explore the hiking trails. They grabbed a few snacks in their backpacks and made their way to thinking rock for sunset. The evening was the perfect intimate way to celebrate their marriage. Those chose to follow their elopement with a celebration at a later date, but wanted the actual act of marriage to be an intimate moment between just them.

Considering the adventurous and intimate start their marriage has begun with, I can’t wait to see what other adventures they have planned.

With Love
