Planning a Wedding in Hermann

Hermann, MO sits on the south bank of the Missouri River in the heart of Missouri wine country, about 80 miles west of St. Louis. German settlers founded the town in 1837, and its hillside wineries and river bluffs make a beautiful backdrop for a wedding weekend.

Mark Mattei, co-owner of MEM Films, spent many weekends in Hermann during high school and college, and we put this guide together to help couples compare the venues in and around town. Each listing covers the spaces a venue offers and how many guests it holds.

We checked these details against each venue’s website and Visit Hermann in November 2026. Spaces and policies can change, so confirm the details with the venue before you book.

Planning Your Hermann Wedding

Marriage License

Marriage licenses for Hermann weddings come from the Gasconade County Recorder of Deeds at the courthouse, 119 E. First St. You can start the application online, then both of you visit the office in person to pick up and pay for the license. Missouri has no waiting period and no residency requirement for in-person applicants, and the license is void after 30 days.

Festival Weekends

Hermann’s Oktoberfest runs every weekend in October, and Maifest takes place in mid-May. Both draw big crowds, so if your date falls on one of those weekends, book lodging early and give your guests extra travel time.

Where Guests Stay

Getting There

Hermann is about 80 miles west of downtown St. Louis and about an hour from our studio in Wentzville. Amtrak’s Missouri River Runner also stops at the Hermann station at 301 Wharf Street, which is home to the Visit Hermann visitor center.

Planning Your Wedding Video in Hermann

Sunset on the Bluffs: Bluff venues look out over the river valley, so we recommend building 20 to 30 minutes of golden-hour portraits into your timeline.

Drone Footage: Our wedding package includes aerial drone footage, and we check each venue's drone policy well before your wedding day.

Cellar and Barn Lighting: Stone cellars and barns are darker than they look in person, so let us know where your toasts and first dance will happen and we will plan for the light.

Travel Between Venues: If your ceremony and reception are at different places, such as a church ceremony followed by a winery reception, leave time in your schedule so we can film your arrival at both.
