In the words of Hamilton…
Immigrants– we get the job done. When first immigrating to St. Louis from Bosnia, we didn’t envision running a luxury wedding venue. We extended a helping hand to refugees escaping the Bosnian War. Being able to enrich people’s lives has always been part of our family mantra, and now we take immense pride in the opportunity we have to provide our clients with unsurpassed service.
We bring our hard work ethic and perseverance to the work we do for our clients, always weaving in only the finest quality.

Meet Suljeman & Ermina Grbic
Founders
Grbic began as Suljeman and Ermina’s dream—a way to share their love of food, hospitality, and culture with St. Louis. What started as a family’s vision has grown into a place where every guest is welcomed like family. Their passion for bringing people together around the table is at the heart of everything we do.
Outside of Grbic, you’ll find them doing what they love most—spending time with their children and chasing after their grandkids.
Ermin Grbic
Owner/Director of Operations
Ermin Grbic , son of Suljeman and Ermina Grbic, has been deeply rooted in the hospitality industry for over 20 years. He is the driving force behind the structure, efficiency, and heart of the family business – ensuring every detail runs smoothly day to day. His hands-on leadership helps maintain the high standards Grbic is known for.
Outside of Grbic, Ermin enjoys traveling and spending meaningful time with his wife and two sons – whether at home or on new adventures together.
Zeljko “Zeek” Matanovic

When he’s not making sure events run smoothly, Zeek loves spending time with his wife and their sweet daughter—or sneaking away for a peaceful fishing trip whenever he gets the chance.
Shayla Hrncic
