  • Absolutely! We have dedicated parking spaces located directly in front of the venue, a covered portico for easy drop-off, and a wheelchair lift to assist our guests from lower level GlassHaus Chapel ceremony space, to the main level reception at the Lakeside Landing.

Lodging

  • Tree Haus Village is our exclusive on-site lodging experience. Tree Haus Village includes 8 cozy bungalows and 7 tree hauses tucked away in the woods surrounding Glass Haus. These units are not available to the public so our couples have exclusive access to share these lodging accommodations with their closest family and friends. Learn more about our lodging accommodations here.

  • Tree Haus Village can accommodate up to 38-46 guests. Our Tree Hauses sleep 2. Our Bungalows can comfortably sleep 3 and up to 4 guests with management approval.

  • When reserving the Glass Haus venue, you’ll have the option to either pre-pay for lodging for your guests or opt for a booking promo code for guests to make a reservation on our website.

    If you’ve chosen to pre-pay for units in Tree Haus Village, you’ll simply share your lodging VIP guest list with our Lodging Manager and we’ll take care of the rest. Your guests won’t need to lift a finger — their rooms will be reserved and waiting just for them.

    If you’d prefer not to pre-pay, we’ll provide you with a special promo code so your guests can easily make their own reservations through our website.

  • Check-in for multi-night reservations is at noon. For single-night reservations, check-in is at 3pm.

    Check-out is at 10am for all reservations.

  • Welcome to Glass Haus and our cozy Tree Haus Village! You can learn more about staying in Tree Haus Village here.

Planning

  • Yes! Whether you opt for a full-service planner, month-of, or day-of coordinator - that is entirely up to you! Choose from The Haus Collective- our Certified in-haus Planning and design team, or Glass Haus can approve your selected planner to ensure they are a professional licensed third party planner with prior experience. Trust us when we say, they are worth their weight in gold! We are delighted to make personalized recommendations for you.

    Glass Haus will also have an on-site event staff who will be available throughout the day. These people generally serve as a support available to you and your vendors to make sure that the flow of your day stays as smooth and seamless as possible.

  • Our Booked Couples Open Haus is a great way to visit the venue once you’ve booked to explore the decor room and taste some delicious bites from Chef Kyle. Our team will be available to answer any questions you have as you’re planning your dream wedding!

  • We have the best neighbors and out of respect for them, we adhere to the venue going silent at 10:30 p.m. on Fridays, 11:30 on Saturdays and 9:30 p.m. on Sundays and weekdays

  • Sunset Calendar

    The above link will take you to a page that tells you sunrise and sunset at Blue Eye, MO. Lighting is always beautiful at sunset, but since we face east, the beauty of the lake as your backdrop ensures that whatever the time, your moment will shine!

  • Our beautiful glass chapel at Glass Haus Weddings is completely enclosed, keeping you out of inclement weather. If we are given a beautiful day we can open our chapel doors to allow for an immersive indoor/outdoor ceremony experience. We have covered awnings and porticos for guest and vendor arrival and departures.

  • Our Single Day Packages that choose to do off-site rehearsal dinners, usually do a quick walk through off-site as well. As long as you are using a quality planner/coordinator you have nothing to worry about! For peace of mind, some of our couples choose to do a quick morning-of walk through as well! You can choose to do the walk through with half your wedding party, or all at once (depending on if you want to see each other at all until the ceremony).

  • We love our pets and can totally appreciate wanting to include them in your celebration and stay. In order to ensure that all goes as smoothly as possible, pre-approval must be handled in writing by Kathy or Rachael. They are allowed at the ceremony and for pictures (not indoors or near food), must remain leashed and attended by a designated handler of your choice. They are required to be boarded off-site. We love Misty at Springfield Dog Training (she has a location in 2150 N State Hwy NN in Ozark, MO).

  • We have ample paved parking on-site with space for up to 100 cars as well as overflow parking nearby for additional guests, vendors and staff.

  • Absolutely! Take a peek at our ever growing inventory of on-trend and classic decor.

Bar & Catering

  • Due to Missouri State Liquor Laws, Glass Haus’s Bar and Catering Company, Prost, must purchase, provide and serve all liquor, wine and beer on our facilities. But don’t let that get you down! We are offering the same customizable approach to our PROST!! Bar packages as we have done with our Wedding & Reception Packages. Our seasoned bar manager will meet with you to make sure that we have the details just right!

  • No. Many venues have minimums because they make a 10 - 15% commission from the caterer based on how much you spend on food and drinks. We choose NOT to make a commission because we want our food and beverage options to be as elegant or affordable as your budget allows, and therefore we don't have a food and beverage or guest count minimum.

  • We’re thrilled to offer beautifully curated menus for your rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, and send-off brunch. All catering, food service, and desserts are provided exclusively by our in-house team, led by Chef Kyle and PROST!! Catering. From cocktail hour appetizers to your full reception dinner, our culinary team will work with you to create a customized, high-quality menu that reflects your style and tastes. Outside caterers are allowed with management approval.

  • In our experience, it's most efficient and most cost effective for couples and their wedding planners to work directly with our in-haus catering team, Prost. Simply book your big day with Glass Haus Weddings and we will coordinate communication with Chef Kyle and our culinary team to schedule a tasting and get the ball rolling!

  • It is possible to have an open bar and delicious meal for 150 - 175 people for under $5,000 with several of our caterers when you make careful food and beverage decisions. (Disclaimer: we are sure you could spend more than this, but if your looking for awesome budget friendly options, they definitely exist with our great catering team.)
