  • “Our experience with St. James 1868 was truly one we will forever be grateful for. From the planning process to the wedding day itself, the entire team went above and beyond to make us feel supported, prepared, and cared for. When unexpected challenges arose, the staff remained calm, stepped in wherever needed, and made sure everything was taken care of. Kelsey kept us organized throughout planning, and Julie, James, and Liz each made such a meaningful impact on our day through their kindness, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile. We were especially touched by the genuine care shown by Kate, who took the time to personally check in with us after the wedding.

    St. James is so much more than a beautiful venue; it’s an experience built on exceptional service, heartfelt hospitality, and a team that truly cares about its couples. We are so grateful we chose St. James to begin this next chapter of our lives!”

Every detail was handled with such care and everything ran so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Behind the scenes, it was an incredibly well-orchestrated production, yet it all felt effortless.

    Choosing St. James 1868 was one of the best decisions we made and we couldn’t recommend them more highly. If you’re considering this venue, BOOK IT! You won’t regret it.

The St. James team made what could have been a stressful and emotional day run so smoothly. Everyone we spoke to was so impressed and in love with St. James. We can't recommend you all enough!

    Not everyone has a perfect wedding day experience, but we feel so lucky that we and anyone who picks St. James do!

  • “If we could give St. James 1868 a thousand stars, we would! The venue is absolutely breathtaking, and the team is truly exceptional. From the moment we booked to the last song of our reception, everyone was attentive, helpful, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. The entire planning process felt easy thanks to their incredible organization, communication, and care. We had our ceremony in The Abbey, cocktail hour in The Hyde, and our reception back in The Abbey after an amazing room flip. Every space was stunning, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful everything was!

    A special thank-you to Kelsey and Danielle for their professionalism, attention to detail, and for making sure our day flowed flawlessly. We never felt stressed or had to worry about a thing. St. James 1868 will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we couldn’t imagine a more perfect place to celebrate our wedding!”
