Bringing our traditions from bucolic Bosnia to modern-day St. Louis
We provide the venue and the food, while also creating a fantastic experience where every guest feels welcome
We have maintained nostalgic pieces from the farm while integrating our own influence of classic European and modern Western culture that ensures a backdrop that is as charming and elegant as it is fresh and contemporary.
If you’re from St. Louis, you might recognize our space as the iconic Old Bailey Dairy Farm.
Grbic Events offers over 3,500 square-feet of open space, complete with exposed brick and elegant archways, the perfect canvas for your personal touches. Our event venues in St. Louis allow up to 300+ guests and are perfect for dancing all night long.
Food has always been an integral part of our lives and our most sentimental memories are of us enjoying each other’s company around our favorite homemade food such as sarma, cevapi, and burek.
We want to pass along the experience by tailoring a menu to your preferences.
We make all of our menu offerings from scratch, fresh from our attached kitchen. We are a team of professional chefs, taking pride in our locally-sourced and high-quality dishes.
The culinary part of the Grbic Experience mission is simple: serve delectable, authentic European cuisine using only quality, fresh, and local ingredients. We combine tradition with your preferences to provide a familiar yet adventurous culinary experience.
We offer help throughout your celebration. Whether you are in need of airy photo-op backdrops, elegant seating charts, enchanting photo displays, fine cutlery, or any other detail that is important to you, you can count on us to have exactly what you need to make our event space in St. Louis unique to your wedding or celebration.
Our exclusive approach to events and catering is derived from the blended influences of our rich Balkan roots adapted to Western culture.
We use the lessons we have learned as a family aiding refugees to offer endless opportunities to our guests, so together we can transform our venues according to their needs.
Our event venue and catering services pay homage to our family, especially our parents, who made it their calling to welcome all people.
This simple act became a defining image for our family. We continue to offer hospitality to others, no matter what walk of life they come from.
Grbic Events is made up of our devoted family, but the credit really belongs to our parents, Ermina and Sulejman Grbic, who immigrated to St. Louis in the 1970s. They opened Grbic Restaurant in St. Louis in 2002 to pursue their passion for cooking.
But before opening our 5-star restaurant, we extended a helping hand to those escaping the Bosnian War in the 1990s.
Being able to open our house (and especially kitchen) to people in need solidified our desire to help others and go above and beyond to make them feel comfortable.
