As the very first Catholic Church in Troy, the building was built back in 1915. At the start of the century, it proudly served the community as a premier place of worship. In 2013, this Alabama historical site was restored to become a wedding and event venue that still cherishes many of the original features and same charm.

The Emporium and Chapman House are beautiful, I fell in love the first time I saw it. We had our daughter's wedding there last weekend and it was perfect! Ms Jane was so helpful and a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for the perfect venue, call Ms Jane, I promise you will not be disappointed.

I absolutely love this venue and Mrs. Jane! The minute I walked into The Emporium I knew it was what we were looking for. It also has a great courtyard that we had our ceremony in. We rented The Chapman house also that is located right beside The Emporium for the bridal suite to get ready in before the wedding. The convenience of both buildings was so wonderful. They both are decorated beautifully and have all the amenities you need. Mrs. Jane really helped me out a lot with the million questions and worries I had. Everything went by so smoothly, and we couldn't have asked for sweeter people or better convenience! Thank you, Mrs. Jane, for helping make our day so special!She was a blessing the whole wedding process. Please call Mrs. Jane and ask about both The Emporium and The Chapman house! You won't be disappointed!
