No. 01 · The Space

A house built for design,
opened for celebration.

Set in the heart of Saint Louis on Gravois Avenue, Stars Design Group is a true working fashion and design house — soaring ceilings, sculptural light, and the kind of finished detail you only find where makers work every day. As an event space, it’s unlike any other wedding venue in St. Louis.

When the racks roll back, the floor becomes a blank canvas: an editorial backdrop for the most photographed day of your life. Bring your vision; the architecture does the rest.

No. 07 · In Their Words

Loved on the floor.

From couples and companies who celebrated something unforgettable at THE 1301.

The architecture did half the work. Our guests walked in and gasped — we barely needed décor.
— Maya & Daniel R. · Autumn Wedding
We hosted our brand launch here and the room photographed like a magazine spread. Exactly the impression we wanted.
— Creative Director · National Apparel Brand
Emily and the team ran the night like clockwork. The space is stunning, but the service is what we tell everyone about.
