Main Street Abbey

Main Street Abbey is located in the cozy, safe, small town of beautiful Columbia, IL. Built-in 1866, the Abbey was an old Catholic church, and a staple of Historic Main Street for over 130 years, the Abbey has since been renovated into one of the area's premier event spaces.

This 6,600 square ft church took seven years to build, all with donated lumber, stone, and labor. 1907 meant improvements for the building, including an addition, an electric generator to power lights for the altar, and a clock in the bell tower. Another addition doubled the size of the church in 1909, followed by a complete remodel in 1927. In 2013 the congregation moved into a new Church, paving the way for what is now, Main Street Abbey.

Just fifteen minutes from downtown St. Louis, MO, Main Street Abbey is a unique place to host your wedding, corporate event, fundraiser, or holiday party! Reconstructed carefully, with attention to detail, the Abbey is a crossroads of nostalgic history, state-of-the-art lighting, and technology. Your guests are sure to be amazed by the striking arched ceilings and radiant, original stained glass windows.

Complimented by a gorgeous courtyard, the Abbey is a perfect all-inclusive venue for your wedding ceremony and reception. Choose from some of the best caterers St. Louis has to offer, dance the night away under the beautifully lit vaulted ceilings, and make ever-lasting memories surrounded by history and beauty.
