The Lodge at Dover Place

The Lodge at Dover Place is a rustic wedding and event venue set across 17 picturesque acres in Wright City, Missouri, around thirty minutes from St Louis. The venue welcomes couples, companies, families and private groups looking for a flexible setting with indoor comfort, outdoor space and a relaxed countryside atmosphere.

The main lodge provides more than 5,000 square feet across two levels, with room for up to 120 guests. Its upper floor can be arranged for ceremonies, receptions, meetings and conferences, with a commercial bar, chef’s kitchen, buffet island, cake serving area and a large stone fireplace. Glass garage doors can open the building towards the surrounding grounds, creating a connection between the indoor and outdoor areas. A covered wrap-around porch provides additional seating, while the outdoor facilities include a gazebo beside the pond, an outdoor kitchen, grills and a wood-fired pizza oven.

Wedding bookings can include an indoor or outdoor ceremony, reception facilities, tables, chairs, white linen, rehearsal time, photo time and support from the venue team. Couples can also discuss extras such as overnight accommodation, a bridal carriage, firepit, yard games, an officiant and dessert cart. Three private suites with bathrooms are available for wedding parties and selected overnight stays.

For corporate organisers, The Lodge offers meeting and conference space with theatre-style seating for up to 120 people or classroom seating for up to 70. The venue also hosts birthdays, anniversaries, showers, retirement gatherings, reunions, holiday parties, retreats and other social events. Organisers can schedule a tour and work with the team to shape a package around their event requirements.
