Stifel Theatre

n at the Stifel theatre made all of the difference in the world! They were able to answer every question we had, were willing to meet with us in person many times and acquiesce to every preference (their flexibility was astounding!)! The beauty of the location goes without saying- all we had to do decor wise we’re candles and flowers at the head table and the reception was stunning. We also had a family member tragically pass a week before the wedding due to a robbery/gun violence and the Stifel team went above and beyond to provide extra security for us outside the venue - it was so kind and made us feel comfortable in that area of downtown when we let them know of our concerns. Choose Stifel as your venue! It is a historic and timeless venue and the wedding coordinators can’t be beat. You won’t regret it!!

one of them stood out to me like the Stifel did. It’s beautiful inside and out and very classic. The venue coordinator, Amber Marshall, is a machine. She was crucial in making our dream come true. She answered my millions of questions and catered to our weird requests. We will never be able to thank her enough. The food and beverage coordinator, Jessica Harvey, is a gem of a human, and a serious professional. Everyone gushed over the food and the service. Everyone who worked our wedding was absolutely perfect. Morgan, Sara, the servers, bartenders, chefs, bussers, security, and every other person who worked that night are responsible for our perfect wedding. If you are artsy and/or in to historic buildings, this is a great venue! Even if you aren’t, it’s a great venue! Our guests couldn’t get over how wonderful everything was.

inely is excellent at her job & passionate about what she does. The rest of the staff was equally as pleasant & tried their hardest to make all of our requests come true. I would highly recommend visiting this venue for a unique, classy wedding experience.

n the grand lobby - the venue was absolutely perfect for our 250ish person wedding. The art deco style was so beautiful, it didn't require much on our end as far as decor goes. This allowed us put our budget towards other things that would have been "splurge" items somewhere else. In addition to the building itself being stunning, the entire staff was so incredibly helpful - they took so much of the stress out of wedding planning. Since my husband and I live out of state, Amber Daniels was a HUGE help in the process. She made sure everything - big, small, and in between - was covered. Her energy was cool and collected while also confident, making us feel comfortable that she had everything taken care of at all times. We talk abut how wonderful she was each time we look back on the day. George was also so kind and helpful each time we were there to review/take care of something. Wedding planning can naturally steer towards stressful and having someone so positive and helpful involved in the process makes all the difference. We absolutely loved our wedding day and so much of it was because of how wonderful our venue and the Stifel team were. Thank you SO much!!!

ave. We had both our ceremony(in the ticket lobby) and reception(in the grand lobby) here and it was gorgeous. Everything was just as we had imagined and guests were floored by the beauty of the architecture. I definitely recommend this place to everyone!!

ue and really captures the essence of St. Louis. You really must have your reception here. I promise you will not be disappointed. We received compliments on every Aspect of the venue. Amber was our planner and she was so nice and awesome to work with. The staff was so accommodating and helpful the night of. I would recommend this location to anyone.

body to any brides looking for a gorgeous venue!

much decorating) and the staff were INCREDIBLE! Amber Daniels was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She was quick to respond to emails in the months leading up to the wedding, helped make sure the ceremony ran smoothly (at the rehearsal and on our wedding day), helped set up our centerpieces/other decor, coordinated with all of our vendors to set up deliveries (one less thing for a busy bride to do), and so much more. We also had access to the theater, which made for some really cool pictures. The Levy restaurants staff were equally awesome. Our food was delicious and we got so many compliments on the meal. They were open to suggestions from the tasting and we were impressed not only with the taste, but the presentation of the food as well. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Peabody Opera House (now Stifel Theatre) for a wedding/event.

e...it certainly was for us! There was nothing too small or big that they couldn't handle. They made sure everything matched the vision we had. Our guests told us that our wedding was the best wedding they had EVER been to, and I think the venue and our decor had much to do with it. We hosted our 200 person party in the Grand Lobby. Imagine a blend between being on the Titanic and in the Great Hall in Hogwarts...we had a very specific vision and Amber ensured it went exactly as we dreamed. If you're looking for elegance and comfort, setting the stage for a night your friends and family will remember for the rest of your lives, check out the Peabody. We couldn't have been happier! Thanks Amber and Courtney....and George!!!! C & C

well, and lent it self to some really limitless design elements. Our experience at Peabody was the best we could have hoped for. We worked with Amber in coordinating every detail and she could not have been more helpful, knowledgeable, and perfect. In coordinating everything, she was very responsive, she knew the space like the back of her hand, and she had great recommendations for vendors as well as our layout. We felt like we were in extremely great hands as everything came together and on the big day, Amber and her team were very attentive to all of our requests. We also worked with Courtney in catering the food and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything turned out like a dream and we owe a huge thank you to Peabody Opera House staff who truly went above and beyond to make our big day go perfectly! If you book Peabody Opera House for your big day, you will not be disappointed!

lp make our day run perfectly. Everyone from the waiters to security guards were exceptional! Amber was professional, kind and helped make wedding planning a breeze. She and the Peabody were so very accommodating (and patient with our questions) and are excellent at what they do! This venue is elegant and magical, and I feel blessed to have been able to have our wedding day there.

ery knowledgeable and always had an answer for us. We did not have a planner so she kinda took over that role and we greatly appreciated it! The venue space is bar none the best in STL! You can’t beat the grand lobby for a kick ass party and the ticket lobby was great for the ceremony! Thanks so much to the team at Peabody, you guys helped so much in making our wedding such a special day!

wedding day. Amber Daniels and her team were amazing to work with and extremely helpful in planning the event. Whenever I had a question about anything I would e-mail Amber and hear back in the next couple of hours. The service for our wedding reception was top notch all night.. none of our guests had to wait at the bar and our signature drink (Moscow Mule) was a hit among all guests. The chef did a great job on both dinner and appetizers.. our toughest food critics loved their meals. Our guests were stunned at how nice the venue was and said between the venue, setup, food and service it was the nicest wedding they had ever been to. If you want to have a fairytale wedding then look no further! The Peabody is the place for you!!

care of for me throughout the entire evening. I had a personal "butler", that took care of me from the moment we walked in. He pulled my chair out, made sure my glass of wine was never half empty, put a cover over my dish when I took my daughter to the bathroom so that my food wouldn't get cold, even danced with me at the end of the night! I had to worry about nothing, it was a dream come true! The level of service that the staff provided to myself and my guests was unmatched. There was no request that we made that they couldn't fulfill. We had hired a wedding coordinator, that did not do her job whatsoever. The beginning of my day was rather stressed. But the moment I showed up to the Peabody, Stephanie and her team put my mind at ease and I didn't have another care in the world the rest of the evening. The food was terrific; we've had countless guests tell us (that night and since... almost a year later!) that our wedding food was the best they've ever had. They offered special options for different diets (gluten-free, vegetarian), and the guests who had these options RAVED about how great the food was, even though it was different than the other guests. Every single person on the staff was helpful, kind, fun, energetic, and made sure we were well taken care of. Every detail was thought out, the entire evening ran smoothly, and they went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. Looking back on the day, almost a year later, I truly couldn't have been happier with how our reception went, and we owe that all to the Peabody!!

) with cocktail hour (Peabody Lounge) and dinner/reception (Grand Lobby) at the Peabody and could not be happier with our experience. The venue itself is gorgeous and stunning, but it is the warmth and kindness of staff and attention to detail that makes this standout as a wedding venue. From our initial meeting with Amber, she made us feel as if we were her only clients and was so responsive that she made wedding planning from out of state a breeze. Indian weddings come with their own requirements (e.g. a processional with a horse, a small fire for the ceremony) but none of these things phased Amber or the Peabody. What an extraordinary venue! I could not recommend the Peabody more highly.

so great at staying in touch with us, giving her opinion when asked, answering all of our questions and paying attention to all the details! We received unanimous feedback that the food was delicious! The rooms were beautiful and easily accommodated our guests without feeling crowded. This is a first class operation who goes the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy!! We highly recommend the Peabody Opera House!

email correspondence with our event coordinator Amber) was phenomenal. Amber and the entire Levy Restaurants team made the whole process easier than we could have imagined. From the seamless and flexible planning process to helping us execute a beautiful reception with day-of coordination, Amber was wonderful. The staff members were constantly professional and attentive, and we received many compliments about the food and drink. We had a plated meal for 215 people with a large dance floor and a band on the stage. There was plenty of the room but the space felt appropriately full as well. One of the amazing benefits of having your wedding reception at the Peabody Opera House is having access to the facilities for engagement and wedding photos. We wouldn't change a thing about our decision to have our reception there. Highly recommended. The only negative we have come across was the switch to plastic cups once the dance floor opened. It was a safety precaution, which is understandable, but we do not remember being informed of this in our planning discussions.

always available and professional, no question was "too dumb", and she practically served as a day-of coordinator for us. She directly managed all of our vendors the day of (handled working with them to figure out load in times, load out times, etc, handed out gratuities to our vendors that we had provided, etc), made sure we were "in place" when it was time, and made sure everything went smoothly. We also found out (after the fact) that a guest had had too much to drink, and she and the staff handled it both quietly and with a high degree of professionalism. The food, alcohol, our signature drink, etc were wonderful. We are still receiving compliments from guests concerning both the food and the service. The Peabody also accommodated many special requests we had. (Champagne before the ceremony, and wanting to come in and play with our tablescaping to get everything just right, for example.) Don't be scared to ask- if they can price it, they will do it! Lastly, the venue is just beautiful. I would highly recommend the Peabody if you want a stress-free wedding. I feel like the hard work they put in made it so that we could simply show up and enjoy our wedding!

ght of the wedding. When I misplaced my dancing shoes she was even on her hands and knees scouring the floor to find them. I believe that could easily be categorized as over-the-top service.

he day of our wedding, which made the reception as stress-free as possible. We got so many compliments on the bar during cocktail hour, as well as never having to wait for a drink during the reception. I would definitely plan another event here. They made our special day so memorable, and Amber kept the night moving and was very responsive to emails leading up to the wedding day. I would definitely recommend the Peabody Opera house to anyone looking for a gorgeous wedding venue, with great food and help!

August 2015. First, the building is simply gorgeous and our guests could not stop commenting on the architecture (especially the Peabody Lounge where we had cocktail hour). It looks fantastic in pictures - sophisticated and classic. But the best part is the employees. Amber and her team were a dream to work with from beginning to end!! They went above and beyond every step of the way. They coordinated so much for us and made the planning process a dream. The food was fantastic - my husband and his family have strong opinions about their steak and they all commented (and continue to comment) on how good the steak was. Overall, the Peabody greatly exceeded my expectations. I am so, so happy we chose this as our venue.

There's too much to type out. It was just PERFECT. Take me work :) -The Bride

we knew we wanted a place that was already beautiful. The Grand Hall was stunning and our guests were thrilled to be able to go upstairs and look over the balcony. The event coordinator, Angie Carr, was a lifesaver and the best person I could ever have hoped to work with during our year of planning. The food was out of this world and our 275 guests raved, particularly when the late-night snacks were brought out! The service was impeccable and at the end of the evening, all of our belongings were packaged up and taken to our car by the staff. It snowed that night, which made for a beautiful evening for everyone. The people at the Peabody were responsible for this evening of magic and we will never, ever forget it. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with equally outstanding customer service, this is he place for you. Best choice ever! Nancy Moreton Mother of the bride

ils. She was there to answer ANY and EVERY questions we had in the months leading up to the wedding as well as give many great ideas on how to make things run smoothly on our end. Not only was the planning with The Peabody easy but everything ran so smoothly for the rehearsal and day of! The staff at the ceremony and reception were extremely kind, helpful, and most importantly had fun with us!! Everyone there is so accommodating and they know what they are doing!! Not only was I pleased but my guest still comment on how awesome everything was that day from the staff to the food to the venue.

renovation. We were thrilled with the value that this venue offered such an amazing value for the price -- everything was included in the price we were quoted (ceremony, happy hour, reception, food/drinks, parking, etc.) -- There were no sneaky add-ons or a la carte items like many other venues. We utilized the first level lobby (for the ceremony), the Kiel Club (for cocktails), and the second level Grand Foyer (for dinner/drinks/reception) -- which was a phenomenally beautiful room -- I would highly recommend this space! The facility was in great condition, the historic architecture was amazing, and the level of service that we received was top-notch. The Peabody's event planner, Angela Carr, and her team were truly experienced professionals -- they handled everything that we needed from the initial walk-through to the tasting to making sure that everything went flawlessly on the big day. And, we were so happy to have their help, as my husband and I planned out wedding from out-of-state -- so it was fantastic to be able to trust that everything would come together. I really can't say enough good things about the Peabody. If I could do it all over, I would absolutely choose the Peabody again. Each time my husband and I look at our photos (which turned out awesome because the venue is so striking), we think about how lucky we were to be married in such an amazing place. Thank you!

contact to days AFTER your wedding there is no better place to trust memories for one of the most important days of my life. They understood my vision, worked with me to execute to perfection, and made me feel like the most important client in the world even though they are an operating opera house. I wish I could get married there (or host any event there) every year to have the experience over and over again. The wedding coordinators know what they are doing and along with the staff execute a flawless evening for all in attendance. The attention to detail and ease with which they worked with all my wedding vendors was the icing on the cake. Give them a call and tour the beautiful opera house -- they will not disappoint!

was on top of everything. The entire day went smoothly, thanks to the team at the Peabody. All of our guests raved about the food and the price was within our budget. We could not be happier with our experience.

ided by the venue. They have an event coordinator, in-house caterer, and all the little things such as chairs and linens are taken care of through the venue. Plus, since it is such a beautiful venue, I did no decorating, except for simple centerpieces and candles. As an out of town bride, this was extremely important to me. Additionally, since most of the guests were coming from out of town, the fact that it is so close to hotels was a great plus. I loved working with the event coordinator and everything went smoothly. I did not have to worry about anything the day-of the wedding because the event coordinator and staff really took care of everything. I highly recommend the Peabody Opera House.

ed by the space, service, food, etc. First, I have been to only a few weddings where I have actually really enjoyed the food - when serving such large quantities it's rarely a truly great meal - that is absolutely NOT the case here! The food was fabulous! We received so many compliments on how wonderful the food was and I couldn't agree more! The catering manager, Danielle, was awesome and worked with us to customize a few things with the menu as well as the bar package and I was so grateful to have her to work with - she's truly exceptional! The space is beyond breathtaking - from the ticketing lobby, to the Kiel Club and the fabulous grand lobby - it's awe inspiring! The service is exceptional and we couldn't have been happier! The Peabody is one of a kind!

on in the main lobby, but we also had outdoor space (perfect for June weather), the ticket office (cocktail hour) and the birds eye view from the third floor. The service was impecable, we had our own personal waiter. The food was beyond exceptional, the pork chops were huge, the reviews from our guests could not stop talking about it! Honestly the best wedding food I have ever had! The staff took exceptional care of the guests along with the bridal party! I can not even begin to describe how wonderful they all were! They deserve much more than 5 stars! Thanks to the staff at the Peabody, our day couldn't have been more perfect!

of the reception each person had an earpiece so they were all clued in on what was going on. It only took a minute to find 2 of our missing groomsmen for our main entrance  On top of that, my new husband and I had our very own server who was there to cater to our every need. Every guest I’ve talked to since the wedding has commented on how beautiful the venue was, how amazing wonderful the staff was and HOW AMAZING THE FOOD WAS!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! The food was in-cred-i-ble! I could go on and on by the bottom line is that if you’re looking for a beautiful place to have your reception and you want to blow your guests expectation out of the water, there is NO DOUBT that the Peabody is the perfect place for you!!
