Samantha + Ronnie’s Wedding at Main Street Abbey

Wedding Attire with Red Accents for the Wedding Party
Samantha wore an off-the-shoulder floral wedding dress and carried a bouquet of red and white roses. Her bridesmaids wore long red dresses with short sleeves, all in the same shade but with slightly different necklines. The small variation gave each dress a little individuality while still looking cohesive in photos.
Ronnie and his groomsmen wore gray suits paired with red ties and red boutonnieres. Ronnie and his best man switched things up with red bow ties and white boutonnieres. The best man was also Ronnie’s twin brother, which made the role even more meaningful.
Historic Ceremony Venue at Main Street Abbey in Columbia, Illinois
The ceremony took place at Main Street Abbey, located along historic Main Street in the small town of Columbia, Illinois. The venue sits just minutes outside of St. Louis, making it convenient for couples hosting guests from both sides of the river.
Originally built in 1866, the building served the community as Abbey Morris Cathedral. Today, it continues that tradition as a renovated event venue that still highlights the building’s historic architecture. The setting created a beautiful backdrop for Samantha and Ronnie’s ceremony.
St. Louis Reception at The Christy Banquet Center
After the ceremony, the celebration continued at The Christy Banquet Center in South St. Louis. The spacious reception setup allowed guests to settle in, celebrate together, and enjoy the rest of the evening. Once the formalities wrapped up, the focus shifted to music, dancing, and time with friends and family.
Eddie from Complete Weddings + Events served as the reception DJ and kept the energy going throughout the night. Guests filled the dance floor while others stopped by the photo booth for group pictures and fun snapshots. The photo booth from Complete Weddings + Events gave everyone a chance to capture a few extra memories before the night wrapped up.
