About

St. Joseph's Chapel was built in 1908 and is on the National Registry of Historic places. The Church features magnificent Emil Frei Stained Glass windows which have inspired brides and their guests for over 100 years. Rich in history, St. Joseph’s Chapel is adorned by massive eighty foot ceilings and an incredible marble alter. St. Joseph's Chapel is the crowning jewel of the awe inspiring Arcadia Academy campus.


Brides are spoiled by our friendly staff who are available to assist them. The Arcadia Academy campus provides endless possibilities for pictures, wedding venues, guest accommodations, and delicious hand-prepared cuisine. There's not a more beautiful, elegant chapel available for the traditionally minded bride. For brides who prefer a more non-traditional setting our one of a kind, turn of the century, historic theatre might be their choice. Others might prefer to roam our twenty acres featuring a pond, gardens, and statues, to find their perfect outdoor location to truly make their wedding day a one of a kind celebration. Arcadia Academy campus, comprised of eight turn of the century buildings, allows us to provide almost any amenity a bridal party could want. From a first class restaurant, Thee Abbey Kitchen is complete with its own Bakery and Ice Cream shop, to our luxurious Bed and Breakfast rooms and family-style accommodations. We also have rooms for receptions that can accommodate anywhere from 10 to 500 people and historic horse & carriage rides. We have the facilities to make your wedding everything you dreamed of and more.

Located just 90 minutes south of St. Louis and nestled in one of the most beautiful parts of Missouri, we’re close enough to be convenient but far enough from the hustle and bustle to make you and your guests feel right at home.

Perfect wedding venue

We got married here this February and it was perfect! We love the history and character of the buildings and the food is excellent! The owners were extremely easy to work with and we definitely recommend to others to check this place out. We had turkey dinner and spinach lasagna. All
our friends and family have two thumbs up on the food. The dinner rolls are baked fresh and I can’t think of another restaurant that has rolls that can compete. We could not have asked for a more perfect event!

The food was great! Many of our guests said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding reception. The bread is amazing- all homemade.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
