European Elegance

We have not had our wedding reception at St James Abbey yet but after visiting this beautiful venue we have a secure date for 2022. Colleen and Kate couldn’t have been more helpful on our very informative tour and have continued to answer all our questions promptly. To date we have received the royal treatment and are looking forward to working towards our European Elegance Wedding.

Such a beautiful and elegant venue

St. James 1868 was a dream come true. The ceremony space- The Abbey was absolutely breathtaking. The space is so beautiful and elegant. Although it is a big space and can hold up to 500 people, our ceremony felt very intimate as Colleen and Kate set up the space perfectly. Colleen and Kate were both amazing to work with- their communication was impeccable and they made our vision a reality. St. James 1868 was everything I dreamed about and I highly recommend it to any couple that is looking for a beautiful, elegant, romantic venue!

Gorgeous venue, helpful staff!

The moment we walked into St. James, it took our breaths away. Kate and her team stopped at no detail to ensure this was a venue of luxury. We are getting married in october and are so excited to have our ceremony at the St. James. The Abbey provides us with the traditional feel that we want for our ceremony. Colleen was extremely helpful and responsive as we were deciding where to get married, and we absolutely cannot wait to say "I Do" in this gorgeous and historic venue.
