About This Vendor
A Church Transformed
Main Street Abbey is a beautiful wedding venue located in Columbia, IL. The abbey, constructed in 1866, has been a staple on Historic Main Street for more than 130 years. After careful reconstruction, it now operates as a premier event space that merges nostalgic history and modern innovation. Located just minutes from downtown St. Louis, this unique venue will wow your guests from the moment they step foot through the doors. With striking arched ceilings and original stained glass windows, it is a space designed for an occasion as momentous as your wedding day. You can host both your ceremony and reception in this light-drenched space. Its white walls and hardwood floor make it versatile yet chic, easily customizable to suit any event design. An attached terrace provides a beautiful outdoor site for a cocktail hour or a quiet moment during the event. A getting-ready suite is also available for the wedding party's use that features vanities, mirrors, a full bathroom, and a kitchen. This stunning venue can accommodate up to 220 guests for an unforgettable celebration. The Main Street Abbey team aims to provide everything you need to host the wedding of your dreams. After an initial consultation, one of their dedicated event managers will work with you to develop a bespoke design tailored to your specifications. They'll point you in the direction of the best local vendors and assist with any queries or concerns you may have regarding the planning of your celebration. On the day of your wedding, you are invited to customize the uplighting, bring in florals and other decor items, and use the sound system throughout your celebration.

Main Street Abbey is just gorgeous! I am so glad we chose the venue for our wedding. The booking process was very smooth. The day of the wedding did not disappoint. It’s so beautiful and all the people…just amazing! From bartenders to those h...
elping bus tables, and everyone in between, best service! They helped us pick up at the end of the night. They made sure we had the plates from our cake because we had to return them to the caterer. They were very attentive to all the little details and did not hesitate to help with anything, not just when asked. They offered. I was so grateful when I was exhausted at the end of the night and they just pulled everything together for us to get home. They definitely went above and beyond!

I cannot express enough how beautiful this space is, and how wonderful the staff is. I had a vision for how I wanted my wedding ceremony to look, and Main Street Abbey COMPLETELY surpassed my expectations. We didn't have to do much decorating a...
t all, because the venue really is that gorgeous. On top of that, every single staff member that we worked with was so accommodating and helpful and they handled all of our stress and questions with ease. Definitely recommend the Abbey to anyone that's getting married!
Let me just say, the girls that work at Main Street Abbey are AMAZING!! From Candace, sales, helping us tour the venue multiple times, answering all of our questions, being quick to respond to emails, and just being patient with me :). Abbey, o...
ur day of coordinator, was such a sweet, go with the flow person! She made sure she had every detail written down and made sure it was pulled off at our wedding! I honestly could not recommend a more professional staff!
The venue!!! Jaw dropping! It was the first place of like 5-10 venues we saw and kept going back to them. The church space was so special to me. The cocktail hour space was impeccable, as well. We had 240 guest and I was worried they weren't all going to fit in there but there was no problem at all! They now have a brand new bridal suite that us girls got ready in. Very nice!
You cannot go wrong with Main Street Abbey! I hope to get invited to a wedding there in the near future :)
Venue was great for my wife's surprise party. Great people to work with.
Candace was great! She coordinated everything for us in a timely manner. The venue was gorgeous and we got loads of compliments on it. The rental process is easy, convenient, and Candace answers all of your questions in a quick manner. She mad...
e our big day feel more about having fun and enjoying all the activities rather than stressing about the small details.
I wish I could give more than 5 stars! We started to plan our wedding in Oct 2019, before covid. Long story short, we ended up with a small outdoor ceremony and we moved our reception to oct 2021, almost exactly 1 year after our ceremony. I can...
not say thank you enough to Main Street Abbey and especially to Candace for making an almost impossible event, possible! She was always there to answer questions at the most uncertain times! The venue is gorgeous, and all of the staff was amazing!
Before booking Main Street Abbey for my own wedding, I had worked with the ladies here numerous times as a vendor and knew I was in good hands. As a bride though, I learned just how attentive and amazing they truly were. From the get go, Candac...
e and Rachel were so attentive to my questions and made the whole process easy - even through Covid. Then I met Abbey and she was a delight and worked with all my vendors and me to make sure my husband and I had the perfect Halloween wedding for our friends and family. She patiently waited for me to pick my lighting colors quite a few times and kept up with my last minute schedule changes and additions (like a surprise zombie flash mob).
My only recommendation for bride's getting married at MSA is consider turning on the lantern chandeliers for the dinner portion of the reception if you are doing darker uplighting. Definitely turn them off for dancing because nothing gives people more confidence when dancing like mood lighting!
We had our wedding at the Abbey over the weekend and I am beyond amazed at this venue and staff. Rachel was a dream to work with! She is very responsive, very helpful, and has an eye for detail. Everything was absolutely perfect. The day went b...
y so smoothly, zero stress, and most importantly everything was EXACTLY what I dreamed my wedding would be. This venue is jaw dropping when you go in, but then add the brides vision and the abbey team, and it is seriously the most stunning venue. I can not stress how amazing our wedding was because of this venue and staff.

We are so grateful for you! what a wonderful celebration for such a wonderful couple! we are so excited for you and your beautiful family and wish you so much happiness!
Everything was so amazing that I almost don’t have the words. This venue is breathtaking, the people who work here are amazing—to say the least & my wedding ceremony was everything I could ask for & more. Candace went above & beyond to make sur...

Thank you so much Devon! we adore you! your kind words mean so much to us and we are so grateful to have been apart of your celebration. Congratulations sweet friends!
The venue was stunning - practically decorated itself! I received so many comments about how beautiful this venue is from guests. Candace was wonderful to work with leading up to the event as far as booking and being available for multiple visi...
ts. They are excellent at communication throughout the planning process.
Our specific day-of coordinator seemed unsure of what was going on and did not assist in the flip from ceremony to reception and a few guests ended up helping instead. While flipping was the job of the caterers, it was the coordinator's job to make sure everything ran smoothly (which it did not). Surely this was a fluke and won't happen to you, but is definitely something worth clarifying and discussing beforehand to avoid what we encountered. I would not let this take away from choosing this venue.
The price for rental is amazing - be aware that they do require you to use their alcohol package, which is where the price for the venue increases significantly. Definitely well worth it though. I would 1000% book here again and wish I could go back and relive our wedding!
Absolutely stunning venue and fantastical people to work with! As the bride, I fell in love with the venue immediately. The church has fantastic updates but its old charm remains. Candace and Abbey were an absolute dream to work with. They wer...
e so patient and kind through the rescheduling due to covid and no question was too big or too small. They were both extremely knowledgeable and willing to help in any way they could. They responded back quickly and were always professional and so so sweet! It was also absolutely spectacular to have a gorgeous bridal suite to get ready the morning of the big day. The suite comfortably fits 12 women, two make-up artists, and one hairdresser. It was such a relief to be able to be at the same location all day, getting ready, pictures, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. After the ceremony/reception we received so many compliments about how beautiful the church was, the ease of transitioning to the amazing outdoor covered bar area, and all the staff being so kind! Huge thank you's to the Main Street Abbey for everything! Couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else! :)

rdinator is a gem! She made sure everything was perfect and took care of any minor hiccup that happened that day. Before our day, her communication with all our questions was quick and informative. She was always willing to help where needed. We got so many compliments on how beautiful our day was and the Abbey had a large part in that! I can't recommend the Abbey & its team enough!

Jessica, thank you for entrusting the Main Street Abbey and our team with your very special day! We absolutely loved working with you and are so thankful for your kind review. We are sending you and Matthew all of our best wish! Congratulations...
again!
I can’t recommend this venue enough!! Candance did such an amazing job helping us prepare for months leading up to the wedding and on the day of she coordinated everything perfectly and was always very calm (even when we were a bit stressed). ...
We originally scheduled our wedding the fall of 2020 and had to push back our big reception an entire year because of COVID. Candace was so kind and professional as we worked through the details of pushing back the wedding and she was able to answer every question we had to put us at ease. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and every one of our guests was impressed by the indoor space and the outdoor terrace. Our caterer (Russo’s Catering) was also incredible to work with and since they are a preferred caterer for the venue, they took care of every detail with ease. I will be recommending Main Street Abbey to all my friends so hopefully I can attend another wedding here! It is worth every penny and is the absolute perfect wedding venue.

Kerry - Thank you so much for your sweet words! We were honored to be a part of your beautiful ceremony and have been dying over your images. We wish you, Nick, and your cute little family a lifetime of happiness!
Main Street Abbey was the location of my son and new daughter-n-law's wedding just a couple weeks ago. If I could give them 10 stars I would!
Everything is in one location, no driving from the ceremony to the reception. They are able to quickly...
transform the space from a beautiful "cathedral-like' space for the ceremony to a magical star lit space for the reception. It was absolutely magical!
What I appreciated the most is their common sense approach during a time of pandemic and allowing guests and family to choose what is best for themselves!
Thank you to all for making our day so special. I had many family and friends say that "it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to!"
Thank you to the staff and owners of Main Street Abbey...you made it truly amazing!

venue. The entire staff was so friendly and ready to help with whatever we needed.

Planning a wedding is hard. Planning one during a pandemic makes it even harder. Despite all of the craziness that was 2020, our wedding reception at the Main Street Abbey was perfect. Before the pandemic, Candace made sure to touch base to see...
how things were progressing, giving us advice and recommendations as we initially started the long planning phase. As everything went crazy, Candace was once again staying in touch, helping us navigate an endlessly-changing, dynamic situation. When we had problems - I mean potential event-canceling problems (thanks COVID-19) - Candace worked with us to make sure everything stayed on track. We could not have celebrated our wedding without her enduring support.
Additionally, the Main Street Abbey is an absolutely gorgeous space - the high vaulted ceiling and arches, the magnificent stone structure, and the splendid terrace are all picture-perfect locations. We booked Main Street Abbey as our reception venue as soon as we saw it without visiting any other venues. Our photographers also loved every angle of it and the pictures we got were beautiful. The venue seriously speaks for itself.
The Abbey is so beautiful!! All of my guest can’t get over how gorgeous the space was from the stained glass windows to the outdoor terrace. My wedding day went perfectly thanks to all the staff there that are so kind and easy to work with! The...

During those few hours on our wedding day you wouldn’t have known anything was happening in the world other than a big ole party to celebrate our love. The entire Abbey staff was a dream to work with throughout our big day and we had seamless transition after seamless transition throughout the entire thing. I recommend the Abbey to any bride looking for a gorgeous venue and people to help her every step of the way.

us, and our guests had the best time! We loved the option of having the indoor and outdoor space and had our ceremony outside and the reception with a live band inside. The entire experience was so wonderful--from the initial meeting to the clean up the night of--we would recommend Main Street Abbey to everyone!
I was lucky enough to be able to have my ceremony at this beautiful venue! It was everything I could have ever imagined, plus more! The venue was absolutely breathtaking, the stained glass, the beautifully high ceilings, the overall elegance it...
portrayed was absolutely breathtaking.
I had encounters with many of the wonderful ladies at The Abbey. Rachel, Candace, and Camille were so very helpful throughout this whole experience. I first met with Rachel and Candace and they were just so sweet, they answered any questions I had, and I had a lot. I felt very comfortable with them and never had any worries about my special day, I literally had not one worry. Whenever I sent an email I always got a reply back that very day, this is something that I truly appreciated.
I was then assigned Camille as my event manager, I am so grateful for everything she did for me and for my special day. She was so great to work with, I met with her before the wedding and she was so easy to talk to and very helpful with ideas as to how the ceremony should go. When I say I did not worry once about the ceremony, I seriously did not worry. I felt so comfortable with Camille, she wrote every since detail down that I wanted for my wedding day and she delivered. I could not have been more pleased with anything, it seriously went so well.
I would recommend this wedding venue to anyone looking for an elegant and breathtaking wedding. They are so easy to work with, are willing to work with whatever vision you have, and are hands down the nicest and most amazing people to work with. I cannot say enough good things about my experience or the ladies I worked with.
Thank you all so very much!

I did not have a worry in the world on our day and that’s how it should be! Candace was easy to work with, let my drop off all of the decorations/stuff need for our day the week of the wedding! She makes sure you are comfortable with the whole planning process. If you’re looking for a beautiful, warm, wonderful place for your wedding in the STL are, I highly recommend the Abbey.

ceremony and reception at the same location can’t be beat. It rained on our wedding day but that was not a problem with the terrace only a few steps away for the cocktail hour. And the bridal suite and balcony were such great spaces for us getting ready.
Camille is truly a God send. She was so sweet and was so easy to work with and get in touch with. She met with us several times and wasbeyond helpful with any requests we had.

sly and It was truly unforgettable. The bridal and groom suites were wonderful. The transition from wedding to reception was done quickly and with ease . Great service from staff during reception. We have received so many compliments about the wedding day, and I just smile because I loved every detail of Trisha and Scott’s special day.
I could not imagine having had our wedding somewhere other than the Main Street Abbey. The location, the beauty, where do I begin? When we first toured we took a huge risk because we did not know how beautiful it would end up looking because t...
he floors were not even in, but we trusted in the staffs vision. Every time I show people pictures of our wedding they are just done they could not believe how gorgeous the Abbey is. And the staff ! They’re so helpful and accommodating. One of the ushers told me because I was obviously busy with pictures that Rachel was incredibly helpful with the flip process which is what we were most nervous about. It went so smoothly. Cannot suggest enough!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words and entrusting the Main Street Abbey with your special day. It was an honor to host your beautiful celebration. You brought so much character and flare to the venue. We enjoyed every minute working with yo...
u! We wish you the absolute best! Congratulations!
We went through a position change where we had one coordinator until the last two weeks where we got a new one. Surprisingly the transition was smooth and everything went off without a hitch. The staff are friendly and the venue was beautiful. ...
The sound would be my only complaint. We couldn’t hear any of the speeches from sitting on the stage, even with a good sound system. The outdoor venue was finished just in time for our wedding and looked beautiful. With this being a new Venus, they surprised me with how well everything came together.
Working with Rachel was great. We fell in love with the space as soon as we saw it. Rachel and the whole team was great with communication. Our wedding went so smoothly. I would highly recommend the Abbey!
