The Blue Bell Farm Wedding Experience

Your elegant countryside wedding in mid-Missouri awaits

The team at Blue Bell Farm is here to dream about your perfect day right along with you, then help that dream come to life.

This is your celebration of love and of life being lived. A commitment as romantic and exciting as the promise of a life lived together, needs an equally elegant and timeless venue that has the versatility to fit whatever you envision for your celebration.

A ROMANTIC DESTINATION

Blue Bell Farm’s historic beauty and breathtaking views provide the perfect setting for romance and celebration. Your wedding rental includes the exclusive use of the private 300-acre estate, which features an idyllic event barn, bridal cottage, meadows, ponds and lush gardens. We only host one wedding per weekend so the farm will be yours for a full weekend of enjoyment!

PERFECTLY PLANNED

We want the journey to your wedding day to be easy and enjoyable. Our experienced planning team can help you with all of the important details so you can be free to daydream about and live out your special day. We’ll design seating arrangements, nail down timelines, help you select vendors, and so much more!

BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT

Our outdoor veranda, covered deck and stone patio overlook glistening ponds and meadows, making them ideal locations for your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour or reception. Should the weather not cooperate, our beautiful and spacious event barn provides the perfect alternative to your outdoor plans. Whether your wedding takes place indoors or outside, there is no lack of perfect scenery to serve as the backdrop for your happiest day. 

Conveniently Located

Located directly between St. Louis and Kansas City with several accommodations options nearby, the farm offers the best of both worlds. We are secluded enough to feel like a private getaway, while still being conveniently close to both Columbia (an easy 25-minute drive) and Rocheport (just down the road) to keep this destination a breeze for both local and out of town guests.

  • Bring your vision to life

    “The most beautiful wedding venue! Jamie and her team do an amazing job at bringing your vision to life. They have great suggestions, are flexible, and worked so hard before and on our wedding day. When we had transportation issues at our wedding, Jamie and her team stepped up and did everything they could to make our wedding still the best it could be. I could not recommend them enough!”

    — Katie C.

  • A flawless wedding day

    “Jamie and Derek: We wanted to take a moment and thank you both for a flawless wedding day. We had so many wonderful comments about the venue, ‘How did you ever find this place,’ to the meal, ‘the food is amazing’! The bridal suite was beautiful, homelike, a relaxing environment to be in and enjoy lunch and getting ready for the day. At the very end of the evening, Bubbles even peeked in the door to make sure all was good. You made this day not only a wonderful memory for Emily and Brent but also the parents of the bride and groom. Thank you again!”

    Dennis and Karen

  • Everything was perfection

    “We got married at Blue Bell Farm in June and it was the best decision ever.

    The venue, the food, the attention to detail - everything was perfection. Jamie and her team go above and beyond to provide exceptional service and an experience that lasts a lifetime.

    Blue Bell Farm is such a creative, experiential venue that takes pride in the quality and finer details. We’re so honored and thrilled to have a connection to such a special establishment. We look forward to many more dinners and events at Blue Bell Farm!”

  • More than just a wedding venue…

    “Blue Bell is more than just a wedding venue ... it is an EXPERIENCE! Jamie and Derek (and everyone else involved) are a fantastic team that you definitely want on your side during wedding planning. From the second that my husband and I walked into that gorgeous barn, we truly felt at home and felt supported.”

    Kayla H.

  • Warm & welcoming

    “Because of Jamie and the entire Blue Bell Farm team our wedding was an absolute dream! They are so warm and welcoming and really helped make our day easy. From giving us great suggestions for our other vendors to working with us to reschedule due to Covid, we cannot recommend them enough.”
