Our experience with 9th Street was absolutely amazing. I loved working with Madeline, she made everything super easy and worked with us on a lot. The venue was immaculately clean on the wedding day and everything went smoothly. Everyone kept telling us how beautiful and perfect the venue was. They also have Airbnbs attached that you can stay at which is super nice. Our photos also turned out AMAZING because of the venue! There's tons of great spaces for photos. If you're considering 9th Street I highly recommend. đź©·

Both this venue and Madeline get top marks from us! The space is absolutely stunning, both for the courtyard and abbey. We loved that we didn't really need to decorate that much to have a stunning space (We do highly recommend up-lighting, it added a nice touch). We had a big wedding and were worried about logistics/space, but everything turned out even better than we could have hoped. It was so nice to have the courtyard right there for a cocktail hour, and our guests were very happy with the space.Madeline also did an incredible job as a day of coordinator. She had the right combination of a light touch to make sure it was what we wanted, but the ability to quickly step in and take charge when we needed, and helped us navigate vendors and make sure our day went perfectly.

Venue is absolutely beautiful! Especially if coupled with the on-site AirBnBs. Makes for gorgeous photos. Contract is simple. A great space for a wedding. Easy to plan with, close to hotels and the airport for traveling guests. Only complaint is site staff are not super accommodating on day of “rules”. Make sure your guests don’t arrive more than 15 minutes early or they’ll be standing on the curb. But overall highly recommend!

This venue is a hidden St Louis gem in Soulard. My daughter got married last Sunday on a beautiful day in the enchanted garden courtyard then had the reception in the gorgeous stained glass former church. It was a fairy tale dream come true! It is like no other venue, quaint and just what we were looking for. Madeline was delightful to work with!

Joan and Maddie went above and beyond to make my wedding ceremony my dream come true! As a COVID bride, I had postponed my original wedding date, and I lost my original ceremony venue. I was so happy when I heard that the 9th Street Abbey was reopening, and that they were willing to work with me on a wedding date that was quickly approaching. The team was great to work with, and the 9th Street Abbey photographs so beautifully. Our guests were raving about our beautiful and unique venue. I couldn’t recommend enough!!!

We had a wonderful wedding reception at Beyond Broadway. Throughout our yearlong planning process we experienced hiccups, but in the end everything worked out and our event was beautiful! Our event planner, Candace, worked very hard to ensure every detail was taken care of for our wedding reception. She had creative ideas and helped me to plan every little thing that I had questions about. Joan was very helpful and caring when it came solving issues that arose during planning. Our guests were impressed with the food, drinks, and the overall venue experience!

They handled our 180-person ceremony and reception with ease to ensure our day was perfect, and we are so grateful!

Professional, FUN, and extremely helpful is how I would describe working with her and I can’t wait for another chance to work at another wedding with her at the Abbey!

Wow what can I say, what a great place to tie the knot. Beautiful venue, amazing food and all around great staff!They were able to accommodate our specific beer taste, which was very important to my husband. The food was just as amazing as the tasting which can sometimes be a problem with catering, Patty Long does not disappoint. It did turn out to be rainy and chilly on the day of the wedding so we did not get to have cocktail hour outside, but everyone was having a great time even though they had to see the room flip. We also did both ceremony and reception and was super easy and very reasonable priced for doing both. Of course when you get married in Soulard parking is going to be a problem but we didnt use valet and no one complained. But you could always get that option. I would defiantly recommend this venue. You definitely get what you pay for!

I cannot say enough good things about Beyond Broadway. The owners and staff including (but not limited to) Joan, Rachel and Dan went out of their way to be helpful and stuck with us when we had some pretty hair-brained ideas/decorations to bring into the space. The food was beyond wonderful; all of my guests were very complimentary. The bar staff were troopers when it came to producing specialty drinks and serving our guests in a timely fashion.The building is tucked away and not your usual, go-to space but that's what made it right for us. We had a \"shabby-chic\" theme going on and with our extra decorations this place looked like a dream. Lots of space, indoor and outdoor cocktail bars/tables; our 200+ guests were not cramped at dinner; the large indoor bar area makes it easy for guests to get what they need; plenty of dance floor space. They could accommodate our head table of 18 with ease. Let's do it again!!

As our big day got closer, I worked with Rachel, and she was amazing about answering my questions quickly and knowledgeably. Rachel made very helpful suggestions and comments about the big picture, such as flow of the reception, and also helped me with the most minute details. I couldn't decide between a few napkin folds, and she re-created them and sent me the photos to make my decision easier! I can't say enough good things about this venue!

The 9th street Abbey was the perfect place to get married! Jackie was super professional, creative, sweet, and had all of her ducks in a row. I didn't have to think or worry about a single thing during the entire ceremony - she absolutely had everything under control. She helped put together the look and feel of the space and brainstormed several ideas prior to the actual day. Not only did she know exactly where everything needed to be, but when we showed up with several boxes she set everything up for us as well after the rehearsal. The ceremony was beautiful and memorable. I couldn't be happier with their customer service and would highly recommend them to anyone! It is a gorgeous place.

We had 192 guest and they all fit well in the space without it feeling empty. The only thing I would've changed would be to have more then one bar open during the cocktail hour but otherwise everything was perfect! Such a fun venue!

I loved how my wedding turned out here. There's no question that this venue is stunning. My photographer gave a sneak peak of the pictures, and the photos, especially from the garden, are spectacular. The wait and bar staff were fabulous and so was the food. If you have your wedding here, you'll likely be very happy. However, working with the management of the Abbey during the planning of the wedding wasn't easy. We booked it a year and a half out, and there were several things promised at the time of the booking that didn't happen or we had to pay extra for, so make sure you get EVERYTHING in writing.For example, when we booked, we were told we could exchange Jim Beam whiskey for Jack Daniels no problem. Then it was an extra dollar per person per hour, so it was almost an extra $1000 dollars because we didn't get it written into the contract. They also had a baby grand piano at the time we booked. They no longer had it by the time of the wedding, so we had to provide one for our ceremony musician. They didn't even tell us they didn't have it anymore. I found out because I just asked to see if I needed to get it tuned. The other frustrating thing was the lighting - they tell you they have included gobo (design) lighting, but don't make it clear what it included and what is extra. We got married on a Saturday and they wanted us to rehearse on a Thursday. Originally we looked into having our dinner catered at the Abbey as well, and the Thursday rehearsal was not mentioned until we chose another venue for the dinner. Our minister and several members of our party are from out of town, and we were told \"we're sorry it might not be everything you envisioned\" if we had to rehearse on Thursday and everyone couldn't make the rehearsal. My dad was able to get them to add a 2pm Friday practice to the contract, but our day of coordinator spent half of it with another bride who got married that day, and it was a little chaotic.We weren't allowed to have our tasting until after we sent our invitations, and we ended up changing our menu. They also only do tastings between 11am and 1pm Tuesday through Thursday, so neither my husband nor I were able to go. The food ended up being delicious, though. However, they only served our kitchen cakes and just chopped up our tiered cake to send home with us, and a lot of our guests complained that they didn't get cake.The wait staff and bartenders were fantastic. One other cool thing the Abbey did was take my family's \"secret\" whiskey slush recipe and serve it for our cocktail hour, and it was a big hit. One of the waitresses that worked the head table noticed I wasn't feeling well (it was 100 degrees) so she brought me a cold towel for my neck. The sales rep we signed the contract with would usually take a week or more to respond if I had a question from the florist or another vendor; she made a point to make me feel like I wasn't the only wedding happening there. After my day of coordinator was assigned to me 3 months out, and we were able to ask her questions instead, it was much better. She was very responsive, much easier to work with, and much nicer. Our day of coordinator made us feel special. Bottom line, I loved how my wedding turned out at the Abbey, but there were some planning irritations that occurred while working with the management, which is to be expected. If you have a planner, that won't even be your problem.

Gorgeous venue and everyone commented on how good the food was. It's not in the prettiest section of the Soulard area but once inside it's everything we wanted and more.\r\rThe only issue we had was that we kept having different members of the team contacting us. We started with Julia who answered every one of my ridiculous questions quickly, politely, and promptly, then we had Darla who suddenly didn't work there anymore, then Maura who was also excellent. The day before, our venue wasn't set up according to the diagram they had given us (and that we had planned everything for) so Friday morning we had quite a bit of stress with moving chairs, adding tables, etc. However, when we called to work these things out, we got a DIFFERENT employee (Rachel, also quite lovely). \r\rSo then the day of the wedding (April 30) everything was great, staff was friendly, place looked perfect, but again, we didn't have any of the other previously encountered ladies to coordinate. So it was a little...disorganized (we were supposed to walk in at 630 but we stood outside til 7 bc of miscommunication in the various staff members). Overall a nice place, fairly reasonable prices (as far as weddings go) and at the end of the day I still got married :). Win.

I can not begin to express how wonderful everyone at the 9th Street Abbey has been throughout the planning process and our wedding day! Maura was our event coordinator and made sure everything was perfect the day of the wedding. She was easy to work with and such a sweet and genuine individual that I knew everything was going to be taken care of and okay the day of. \r\rWe used the Abbey as our ceremony and reception venue. There was an outdoor cocktail hour that all of my guests raved about. The venue is simply beautiful and elegant. Everything the day of our wedding was smooth and coordinated! The staff was extremely pleasant and accommodating of guest allergies or any special requests. All of our guests had a wonderful time and some even said it was the best wedding they have been to. \r\rI'm so glad we went with the Abbey as our venue of choice! I will forever remember our special day and will never forget the kindness and support the Abbey staff offered my family and I! \r\rI would recommend this venue to absolutely everyone.

My husband and I got married and had our reception at Beyond Broadway and I couldn't have had a better experience! The space was gorgeous and fit our personalities perfectly. I do wish the chairs that came with the space went better with the venue (venue is rustic, chairs were black banquet chairs), but Andrea (our coordinator) helped pick out a different chair option that made all the difference. The food was outstanding and earned high praise from all our friends and family (I highly recommend the Braised Short Ribs and the Truffle Mashed Potatoes.Yum!) Andrea made the whole process extremely easy she words always available and gave plenty of advice and input which gave us confidence while planning the biggest day of our lives. The only negative I had from the day was we were unable to use the outdoor patio space during our cocktail hour due to the weather. I was very excited to incorporate the outdoor element, but the weather (of course) can not be controlled.

When my then finance and I started the process of looking for our wedding reception venue we quickly realized that we were both looking for two different things for our reception. I wanted a location near downtown, affordable, a place with great reviews and something with a different look. My husband just wanted a fun place that would be casual for our guests. Beyond broadway was the perfect fit. I fell in love with the look of the place and he fell in love with bar and games. I had heard good things about Patty Long and I have to say that they were all true. We have received lots of compliments on the venue and food. I was a little scared of the location but there was no reason to be. Our guests had no problems finding the location. We had the opportunity to work with Andrea and she was fantastic. She always answered my questions quickly and really helped our day go smoothly. She is always just a fun person! Here are the things I wish I did... I wish I had done more decorations outside of just table decor. The venue is fantastic and you really can add lots of personal flare.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Andrea and the team at Beyond Broadway for our October wedding reception. Andrea was very attentive and well organized during the planning phase and event. I didn't have a wedding planner and didn't need one because of the experience and trust I had with Beyond Broadway. They allowed us to do all of the special requests we wanted including hay bails near the fireplace, fire pit outside and glow lanterns released by our guests. Beyond Broadway was very well organized and made the night seamless. The food was outstanding and I highly recommend the St. Louis BBQ package. My guests are still raving about the dinner and overall experience at Beyond Broadway. The venue also allowed us to bring in home made pies to go with the theme of the event. For the space and food the price was very reasonable. I could go on and on. Thank you Beyond Broadwat for making our wedding reception more than I could ever dreamed of.

Initially we wanted our wedding here and had confirmed a date with the sales rep over the phone. I only had to confirm the details and pricing with my fiance and said I would call back ASAP. She did explain they can't hold or reserve the Abbey, but said she would certainly call if there was someone else interested. From the time I had talked to the 9th Street Abbey over my lunch till the end of the work day they had given the Abbey to someone else. We were heart broken and to make it worse they were not that sympathetic to our situation. Everything happens for a reason and we ended up having the most beautiful outdoor garden wedding, but it was still unfortunate to have to start our planning in this way. If you want the Abbey, be ready to put your deposit down the minute you call or visit. Parking is limited also.

Working with the 9th Street Abbey was amazing, both of my coordinators Julia and Jackie were great. They worked hard to meet our budgets by mixing food and drinks any way you want. When we had rehearsal Jackie just got it. We could talk a mile a minute together and she could comprehend it all. The day of the wedding she made sure every detail was exactly what we wanted. If she thought something was slightly different than I described she confirmed with me first. The only issue we had is they have multiple weddings on Saturday and are normally booked on Fridays. Because of this we had to do rehearsal on Thursday (which for us having a simple wedding) it was no fine. We couldnt get into the location Saturday until 4, but Jackie took care of every decoration need and we had no worries. Overall, the venue is beautiful and I have never heard people rave about how great a wedding was before.

From our first meeting to the big day the team at the Abbey was wonderful. I especially liked that they let my fiancé and I come in the week of the wedding to practice our first dance on the dance floor. Also, it rained on and off all afternoon on my wedding day, but they were so flexible and accommodating, it really put me at ease. Bottom line, the Abbey is beautiful and the service is top notch!

The Abbey is a beautiful old church with lots of history. It was a great place to get married and Andrea (our event coordinator) was very helpful and accommodating. The only issue we ran into was we got married in December so wanted to decorate the facility to match our wedding colors. We were not originally told that the Abbey decorated during the holiday season and the staff even helped us measure the banisters for purchasing garland. About a month before our wedding we found out they provide decorations, but their decorations clashed with our wedding colors. We were told we would have to pay additional fees for them to take down their current decorations even though we were not originally informed that the decorations existed. Luckily Andrea was awesome and took down the decorations herself to avoid us being charged extra. Make sure to ask about every single detail and do not be surprised if little things pop up.

I was so happy to find a place like this to have my entire wedding celebration at. Originally wanted an outdoor ceremony, but didn't want to chance the weather and had a late fall wedding. This place is very large and has a very laid-back lodge vibe. We were married in front of the stone fireplace, then gathered by the bar while they rearranged the space for the reception.

Andrea helped us on the actual day of our wedding and she was fantastic! Very professional, very nice, and she knew her stuff. Food was great, venue was beautiful. We started out working with one girl, then it switched two more times after that. That was a bit annoying, but they handled it well and everything turned out great.\r\rWe had our ceremony and reception here.

The 9th Street Abbey was very accommodating. They made us feel comfortable and we did not have to worry about anything the day of the event.

The 9th street Abbey is a very old church. It was a smaller venue perfect for our 130 guests. We loved the cathedral ceilings and stained glass windows. It's beautiful.
