Share those special memories with Celebrations Celebrations features weddings, engagements, anniversaries, and other happy news, such as birthdays, reunions, and four- or five-generation photos.

At that time, any corrections or additions can be made as needed at SVM’s Dixon and Sterling offices. For convenience, proofs will be emailed without calls whenever possible. Photos may be submitted in color or black and white, and in any size. Emailed photos should
be in JPEG format with a resolution of 200 and a width of at least 5 inches for best quality. All announcements can be printed without photos if desired. Celebration forms are available at the Telegraph and Daily Gazette classified departments or by email. Sauk Valley Media is not responsible for errors due to unreadable information. A daytime phone number and email address (if available) are requested to help to insure accuracy.

is recommended in the half-page format, and up to four normally can be used in the full-page format. Large group photos with long lists of names may require at least a half-page paid announcement.

Busch Big House estate now open to public for weddings BY LISA BROWN St. Louis Post-Dispatch
ST. LOUIS – Wedding and holiday planners take note: A historic St. Louis home that has hosted U.S. presidents, St. Louis Cardinals players, movie stars, and beer industry executives is the region’s newest party venue. Many weddings of Busch family members and friends have taken place at the Busch family “Big House” estate in south St. Louis County, next to Grant’s Farm. Brewery magnate August A. Busch Sr., son of Anheuser-
Busch’s founder, acquired the land in 1903. Now the property is available to book for the first time to those without a connection to the Busch family. Busch family members who own the French Revival-style mansion, at 10501 Gravois Road, have opened it up to the public to rent for weddings and other events. A website for the venture, buschfamilyestate.com, that launched recently lists available rental packages, including one that provides access to the
32,000-square-foot mansion. The website states the Big House, which has 26 rooms and 14 bathrooms, can accommodate 75 guests, who will have use of the inside of the house and patio. Additionally, house staff will give guests private tours of the first floor of the mansion, which was built in 1913. Renting the lawn or tennis courts for a wedding also are among the options. The cost for using the space is available only upon request, with venue pricing starting at $5,000. The property, owned by
a trust held by six children of brewery magnate August A. “Gussie” Busch Jr. and Trudy Busch, is unoccupied, but is still used for entertaining and family events. In 1954, the Busch family opened Grant’s Farm next to the estate to the public for free tours. AnheuserBusch InBev operates the Grant’s Farm animal preserve and leases the Grant’s Farm property from the Busch family. Grant’s Farm is home to the Budweiser Clydesdale stables and hundreds of other animals, including
llamas and zebras. Last month, A-B, the U.S. unit of A-B InBev, partnered with the Busch family to begin offering for the first time $25 1-hour walking tours of the 22-acre Busch family estate next to Grant’s Farm. Julia Mize, A-B’s vice president of experiential marketing, said the company may offer the walking tours again in 2015. On a tour of the Busch estate grounds recently, tour guides Dale Lutz and Carolyn Larson said the estate hosted hundreds of celebrities and
sports stars over the past century, including actors John Wayne and Yul Brynner and former Cardinals greats Stan Musial and Bob Gibson. A few years ago, singers Tim McGraw and Faith Hill were guests at the estate, Lutz said. Offering the property as an event space has elicited interest. “We’re already booked up several months in advance,” David Isserman, a consultant working with the Busch family, said in an email.
