I had the opportunity to visit this renovated church that now serves as a wedding venue, and I was truly amazed! The transformation is stunning; the blend of historical architecture with modern touches creates a beautiful atmosphere.

The interior is beautifully designed, with intricate details and a warm ambiance that would make any wedding feel special. The spacious layout allows for flexible arrangements, making it perfect for both intimate ceremonies and larger celebrations.

The surroundings are equally impressive, providing picturesque photo opportunities that any couple would cherish.
Overall, I highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a unique and beautiful place to celebrate their special day. The renovation has truly brought out the best in this church, making it a dream location for weddings!

I had my wedding at Main Street Abbey on 9/7/24 and it was a dream. The communication with the staff was excellent, they got all of the details correct, and the room flip went seamlessly. We also had our rehearsal the night before at Main Street Abbey, the staff was so helpful in making sure everything went smoothly. They make everything very convenient with the suites, hotel, reception and wedding all being on site - we had so many positive remarks about that. I would highly recommend this venue.

We had our wedding at the Main Street Abby on 6.15.2024. Everything turned out perfect. Everyone who worked there was very kind and helpful, the day ran so smooth and they got every detail right! We loved having the hotel, bridal suite, reception, and ceremony at one location. We got so many compliments on how great the venue was. If you are thinking about having your wedding here do it!

I photographed Courtney and Nick's lovely fall wedding day this past October here at Main Street Abbey! I highly recommend it for any couples looking for a solid, all-in-one venue for their big day. Definitely go out for night photos on the patio. The warmth of the string lights make for some really rad photos!

I would give this 1 star, I went to the Galentines event for $50 and was highly disappointed. The drink included was a skimpy glass of wine with cotton candy. Then we went to bingo which only had three rounds and lasted about an hour and a half. Finally we were able to eat which partially made that event better but not worth the money, let alone the drinks they were selling ranged from $10-$16. This event was coordinated abysmally and just seemed like an event for women to shell out money more. Treat your patrons like their time and money matter. Not as a cash grab. Be warned

This venue is FANTASTIC! The bridal party was able to spend the night and get ready for the wedding in one building on site, and the guys were able to get ready and hang out in their "man cave" which was also on site. We were able to have the wedding, cocktail hour, and the reception in the same place! And finally, we were able to walk from the reception to our hotel, which was also on site!! Talk about convenience!! It was fabulous.!!

Went to Valentine’s Day event and paid $50. I was highly disappointed, the coordination was lacking and the games / accommodations weren’t up to par for the price. Bingo lasted about an hour and a half and only had three rounds. The prizes seemed to be funded by the tickets. The drink that came with it was a small class of wine with a pice of cotton candy on top. They had about 5 vendors as well. The wording in the ticket description makes it seem like the flower bar was included, but it was not. And the drinks they were selling were egregiously priced. This event seemed to be more of a cash grab than anything. Will not be attending anymore events here unless it’s a wedding.

We had the privilege of taking wedding photos at Main Street Abbey a couple of months ago, and it was an amazing experience. The venue is gorgeous, and Ryan, the manager, is helpful, present, responsive, and wonderful to work with. I would recommend them to anyone! Five stars is not enough!
