Based in Richmond, Virginia, Main Street Station is a stunning vintage venue for weddings and other special occasions. This beautiful train station property is a historic landmark operating out of Amtrak Station. Built in 1901, the building survived several natural disasters until it was fully restored in 2003. Now, it is known as one of the local premier travel destinations and as a lavish and distinctive wedding venue. The Main Street Station will help make a lifetime's worth of incredible memories during the celebrations.

Facilities and Capacity

Main Street Station can be found nestled in the heart of Richmond. It is known for its famous clock tower, which can be seen throughout the city. This venue blends history and modern elegance, ideal for an extravagant yet intimate wedding. There are two wedding venue spaces, the Headhouse and the Shed. The Headhouse has a classic French Renaissance style and comfortably accommodates 200 guests. The Headhouse has glistening marble flooring, high ceilings, and tall windows overlooking the city. The Shed is modern, with tall glass and steel enclosing over two football lengths of space. It can accommodate upwards of 3,000 guests but can be divided to suit weddings of all sizes. There is also an outdoor plaza for cocktail hour.

Unforgettable venue

Gorgeous venue with wide open floors, stunning vaulted ceilings, an industrial kitchen, ample parking, and multiple rental options. Crystal, the venue manager, was highly flexible in our use of the venue, and worked with any unique requests we had. We are so glad we chose this venue.

Amazing Venue

Main Street Station was everything we dreamed of and more. The coordinating staff was so attentive. We loved the simple elegance of the Head House. We used minimal décor since the venue itself was so incredibly beautiful. Great location and easy walk to nearby hotels for guests.

Unique and beautiful venue!

From the second we saw the Shed we were blown away! We were very torn between having an indoor or outdoor reception and loved how the Shed allowed us to have the feel of an outdoor reception without the weather concerns that come with an outdoor venue! We wanted a unique wedding venue that we could customize to create our own day and Main Street was perfect for that, while also being a classic Richmond spot! Our guests were blown away by the venue and we couldn't have been happier with our choice! The only downside with the venue is that as the venue comes essentially empty, we had to hire all of the vendors to come with the venue which is a bit more work, but we loved how we were able to pick our favorites of the vendors and bring them all together rather than be stuck with what came with another venue. We'd definitely recommend a wedding planner to bring all of the details together - we used Elle Loren & Co and couldn't have been happier with them! Main Street was also very flexible in accommodating our schedules, with setup the day before our reception and allowing us to store personal items the day before and after the event.

Amazing Venue

I've been a guest twice now to events including a wedding at Main Street Station, and I am so impressed. The venue is enormous and can work for both huge crowds and intimate gatherings. Even without much decoration it is grand and beautiful, is ADA compliant, and has ample parking.

Spectacular venue!

This historic venue is breathtaking! At our first visit we knew that we wanted to have the wedding there!
Susan welcomed us, showed us around and was just so exciting to talk to. We loved the idea of the "green" room for the bridal party etc to use during the day of the wedding and we really got some beautiful extra pictures in there.
Speaking of photography, the pictures are amazing within that backdrop of the train station! We rented the smaller section called the head house (130 guest). Its gorgeous with the arched windows and brick etc. The Shed portion was also opened so we had such a beautiful view of the entire place.
The staff was amazing and our wedding planner Amy Marie Events used perfect decor, flowers, and vision for the feel we wanted in the space.
It was elegant, organic, and magical!
Thanks to Susan and her entire staff for making our wedding experience beautifully memorable!

All I had to do was show up!

The title says it all! Main Street Station is so beautiful and iconic, such a perfectly elegant setting, that all I had to do was show up and it was a beautiful event!

It was worth every penny and MSS staff were a pleasure to work with. They event sent me a nice quality poster afterwards, as a thank-you gift.

Amazing Wedding Venue

I cannot rave about this venue enough. Main Street Station was a complete dream venue for our December wedding. Our coordinator provided by Main Street, Susan Kennedy, was absolutely the best. She was professional and prompt, but always made us feel special. Every hiccup before and during the wedding, she handled with ease. Susan was patient and kind, giving us many tours throughout the process. She is extremely knowledgable about the history of Main Street and remains proud of its publicity. I would recommend this venue to any couple seeking a spectacular and chic wedding

We wanted to have a very "Richmond-y" vibe to our wedding and this was the perfect place. I worked with Susan as a point of contact. She was lovely. The new shed is such a great addition and downstairs is perfect for cocktail hour! I did not use the bridal suite, but my caterer did take advantage of the kitchen. We loved having our wedding here!!!

Main Street was the very first place we looked at, and we knew instantly that it was perfect for us. Nora was very helpful (and patient!) as we worked out details, knowing we wanted to have both the ceremony and the reception in one place. There are a few restrictions as it is a historical site (such as no glitter, no hanging anything from the walls, no sparklers), but frankly they helped streamline a lot of decisions for us. When we had our walkthrough we had a bit of a construction scare-word had come out that we may not have access to the concourse-but between my wedding planner and my mom complaining, plus quite a few other brides whose events would be affected, the MST staff was able to work with the construction company and assure the the space we had contracted. They worked seamlessly with our caterer and other vendors, and our guests (mostly out of towners) were in love with the architecture and set up for our day. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone who loves the idea of getting married in a city gem!
