I got engaged in 2021 and immediately started wedding planning. Soon after, we decided to elope! I wanted something small but luxurious and I feel so lucky to have discovered The Gatsby Penthouse in STL! Josh was so kind and responded quickly if I had any questions during my stay. The place itself was immaculate. The 360 views of STL were breathtaking, and our ceremony was absolutely perfect! Thank you Gould Holdings for allowing us to create such special memories in your space! We will be back!

The venue itself is a beautiful, rustic, and intimate space that perfectly captured the atmosphere we were going for. We loved everything about our experience at Atelier 1879 - the stunning setting, the loving atmosphere, and the incredible service provided by the staff.

Historic Edwards Place 

5.0

Springfield, IL
  • Up to 75 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor

Edwards Place, built in 1833, was a social center of antebellum Springfield. In its gracious parlors Abraham Lincoln, Stephen Douglas, Ulysses S. Grant, and other Illinois luminaries gathered at elegant parties and balls. You, too, can have your special day in the same rooms where Abraham and Mary Lincoln were guests more than 150 years ago, now meticulously restored to the grandeur of their antebellum days. Edwards Place is available to rent for showers, weddings, and receptions – the perfect choice for a distinctive event in a historically significant setting. You can even include extra services for your event, such as the use of a piano often heard by Abraham Lincoln (and possibly played at his wedding!). Our rental space has three areas of possibility - the historic house museum, the grounds in front of Edwards Place, and the M.G. Nelson Gallery, a part of our parent organization, the Springfield Art Association, and directly attached by a doorway to historic Edwards Place.

The Edwards Place is a beautiful site! The staff were very helpful and flexible allowing us to visit the site multiple times, they were open regarding their seating arrangement, and due to the nature of the site it is fully decorated. The site was beautiful and the wedding was as well! The historic charm of the home added to the romantic feel of the day. I would recommend this site to anyone looking to get married as it is wonderful all around!
