About Stifel Theatre St Louis
Formerly known as the Peabody Opera House, the Stifel Theatre in St Louis has been voted as one of the US’s best wedding venues by Brides Magazine three years in a row. The theatre merges art deco architecture with the sophistication and class of a grand historic venue. Located in the heart of downtown St Louis, The Stiel Theatre is steeped in over 80 years of history, having hosted some of the greatest events in the history of St Louis. During its heyday, the theatre hosted concert artists, Broadway shows, plays, dance companies, symphonies, blues, jazz, country-western, rock, and opera.
