Garden Venue

Spink Pavilion at Missouri Botanical Garden

Majestic stone gatehouse at the Missouri Botanical Garden

The Spink Pavilion at Missouri Botanical Garden was built in 1859 to serve as the main entrance to the Missouri Botanical Garden, and it has now been restored into a beautiful event garden venue. The Spink Pavilion sits on the garden’s Grand Plaza, overlooking three large reflecting pools filled with colorful water lilies bordered by tulips, pansies and unusual summer annuals. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows offer guests a full view of the gardens with no obstructions, so you and your guests can enjoy the majesty of the Missouri Botanical Gardens from your event. The Spink Pavilion offers ample space for your guests to mingle, as well as an intimate feel that makes them feel comfortable and welcome, no matter the event.

I had our son’s rehearsal dinner on 6/10/22 at the Spink Pavilion at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Tina Opdenbrouw was our event planner. I could not have asked for a better experience. The food was amazing, the staff the night of the event were amazing, and the planning part with Tina was stellar! I wish I could post my professional pictures but cannot at this time. Hope to post later. The wedding was 6/11/22. Wedding guests that were not invited heard how wonderful our rehearsal dinner turned out and wanted to know why they were not invited. Without the help of this great staff I could not have done this and made such wonderful family memories. This night was worth every penny I paid for 60 guests.
