Like a Movie

My husband and I got married here a few weeks ago and it was absolute perfection. The team (Jessi, Jessica and Victoria) were so helpful as we don’t live in the area. We had a lot of expectations and specifications of how we wanted the wedding to look, flow, be set up, and much more. They met every expectation and request. We did our cocktail hour in the Kiel Club and reception in the Grand Hall/Lobby. You were able to have as many signatures as we wanted. The food portions were massive and flavorful. They worked with our third-party dessert vendor to distribute the dessert to the guest as they were seated. Our guests were amazed by how beautiful the spaces were and how good the food was. We also requested for additional bartenders so guest did not have to wait a second for a drink. Team again was amazing and so helpful.

Stifel Theatre (Former Peabody Opera House)

Where to even begin? My husband and I live in LA and are in the entertainment industry. I’m from St. Louis, so that’s where we decided to get married. I toured several venues but none 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.

Peabody Opera House was the BEST venue we could have possibly picked for our wedding reception in St. Louis! My now husband and I really wanted a space that was beautiful, managed 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!

There are not enough good things to say about the Peabody Opera House. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! As a bride, everything was taken 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 they 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. 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!!

I cannot say enough good things about the Peabody Opera House as a wedding venue! We held both our ceremony (in the Ticket Lobby) and reception (in the Grand Hall) at the venue in August 2015. 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 - many guests commented (and continue to comment) on how good the steak was (which is often hard to get right when cooking for that many people). Overall, the Peabody greatly exceeded my expectations! I am so, so happy we chose this as our venue.

The Peabody was great! On top of being a beautiful place to have a wedding, from the day we first contacted the Peabody, everyone we dealt with was friendly and highly professional. Amber did a fantastic job coordinating everything the day of, and she and her staff did a great job making us feel like stars on our special day.

This venue was unbelievable! They pulled out all the stops for us. I had asked for Christmas decorations to stay up for our January 4 wedding. They were taken down and the event planner made sure to have them put back up. The food was not only delicious, but unique. The architecture of the room speaks for itself and the lighting was gorgeous. The servers treated us like royalty and spent hours getting my napkins and napkin holders perfect, even though I insisted an alternative fold would be fine. I know everyone feels their day was amazing, but this truly was a dream wedding with their help. I'd 100% recommend this venue for your reception.

Besides being a beautiful venue with a variety of photo ops, the Peabody was on top of every last detail. The staff was very attentive and the whole wedding day went very smoothly. Also, the food was amazing! Everyone commented on how it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding.
