Conference and Event Services Testimonials
Temporary and Guest Housing
From Division of Continuing Education...
"I’d like to thank you and your assistant for helping make Gregory feel welcome and comfortable in Oak Hall. Gregory was on campus for a two day noncredit workshop. He came in from Ohio and he needed inexpensive accommodations because he was paying the registration fee and travel expenses out of his own pocket. He had missed the email sent to him with instructions on how to reserve his room so when he arrived the arrangements had not been finalized. He said that your assistant took great care of him when he arrived. He couldn’t say enough good things about her and the accommodations. This is the kind of service that gives UMSL a great reputation. Thanks for your help." ~Gina, June 17, 2009
From Conference Participants...
First of all, I would like to say that your assistant is a gem! Please give that girl a raise! She was very accommodating and quick with any problems that arose that I had witnessed and worked very hard on Saturday . . . . She was also very nice and genuinely interested in our hobby to play along with us. You have a wonderful person on your staff and you should keep her for as long as you can! ~Tina, July 2009
The campus and rooms were very clean, it seemed very safe and having the Metro right there was so convenient. All in all, I was impressed with the UMSL campus and dorms. It was lovely! ~Amanda, July 2009
I found everything to be really wonderful in the dorms. I have been at other confrences on college campuses and I have to say these were the cleanest nicest dorms I have every stayed in. ~Jennifer, July 2009
I wanted to contact you to tell you what a fantastic time my sister and I had as guests at UMSL! It is a beautiful campus and the staff we encountered were ALWAYS most welcoming and helpful. They did a wonderful job of checking us in... I would not hesitate to stay at the dorms again. So convenient with metro stops and so much beautiful ground to explore - it was a very, very enjoyable experience. I have fallen in love with what I saw of St. Louis and would love to return to explore it further on my own. The dorms at UMSL would certainly make impromptu trips more affordable. ~Gail, July 2009
I found the whole experience at UMSL to be fabulous. it was a wonderful setup for a "conference" like ours. The suite arrangement is one I was unfamiliar with, but it worked out great. having the families and singles on separate floors was very smart! The common areas meant there were often people to mingle with, when I found myself at a loss at the end of the day. The fun's over, now what? Oooh, I know - go see who else is lingering! Overall, this was a huge success. The accommodations worked out great, and the registration process was very easy. ~Anderson, July 2009
Provincial House Chapel Weddings
From St. Louis Bride Magazine...
"When Melissa's mother saw the [Provincial House] Chapel's stained glass windows, she burst into (happy) tears and Melissa then knew for sure it was the right place. With beautiful gardens, the magnificence of flying buttresses "reminiscent of Notre Dame" and beautiful hardwood and marble, the Chapel would seat 350 guests... A Chapel staff who powered the 'fun.' Melissa loved working with them." ~Fall 2006, pg. 56
From Happily Ever After Couples...
"We appreciate all of your help leading up to our big, special day! Thanks for answering all our questions - everything was perfect!" ~Rachel and Kevin, Married March 2008
"Our wedding at the Provincial House Chapel was everything we imagined it would be. The chapel is gorgeous and we received many compliments about our beautiful service at our reception later that evening. Allyson and her staff were great to work with. They were all very attentive to our needs and it was obvious that their goal was to make our day exactly what we wanted. We would highly recommend getting married at the Provincial House Chapel." ~Josh and Jessi, Married June 2009
"The assistant that day was amazing! She helped pin on all of the guys flowers, and helped the girls with their dresses, she made sure everything went as we wanted and was easy to find and talk to. Thank you so much for making my day run so smooth!!"
