Where are you located?

403 Main is at 403 S. Main St. in Huntsville, Missouri, just off Highway 24. It sits about 30 miles north of Columbia, roughly halfway between Kansas City and St. Louis.

How many guests can you hold?

Up to 36 guests banquet-style in the main room. The layout and the kind of event change that number: open houses, theater-style seating and more fluid events can hold more. Tell us your number and we will talk it through.

How big is the main room?

The main room is 19 by 30 feet, with a craftsman built-in bookcase, a fireplace and built-in banquette seating.

Can we use the backyard?

Yes. The backyard has been completely redone and is open for bookings. Tell us what you are planning and we will talk through using it for your gathering.

Are tables and chairs included?

Yes. Your rental includes four 6-foot banquet tables, six 8-foot banquet tables, six 40-inch round tables, two 4-by-2-foot tables, four 24-inch high-top cocktail tables and 65 gold Chiavari chairs for indoor use. Our staff set them up before your event and take them down afterwards.

Can we bring our own food?

Yes. You can bring your own food, use a licensed and insured caterer of your choice, or use 403 Main catering. If you use our catering, the final guest count is due two weeks before your event and catering is paid in full one week before.

What is in the kitchen?

An end-prep kitchen with a double refrigerator, a glass cooktop with stove, a microwave and a pot filler. The gas cooktop is not included. You or your caterer are responsible for clean-up and removing trash.

Can we serve alcohol?

403 Main does not hold a liquor license. You may stock a bar with your own beverages and hire a licensed bartender; a cash bar requires a bartender with a liquor license. A signed waiver holding 403 Main LLC harmless is required. No one under 21 may be served, and no shots.

How long do we have the venue?

On weekends, a half day runs 9am to 2pm or 4pm to 9pm, and a full day runs 9am to 9pm. On weekdays you can rent by the hour, and 3-hour partial rentals are available. Additional hours are $75 each. Your rental agreement sets your exact access times.

Do you require a retainer?

Yes. A $100 retainer holds your date and time and is applied to the balance of your package. If you cancel more than 60 days before your event it is refunded; within 60 days it is not. We understand life happens and will do our best to work with you. Additional charges apply for extra cleaning or damage.

Who cleans up after the event?

Our staff take down the tables and chairs, collect the linens for laundering and do the final sanitizing and cleaning. During your event, you or your caterer clear tables and take out trash. Before you leave, collect your decor, rinse and wash serving ware or load the dishwasher, sweep, and take trash to the dumpster. A clean-up service is available at extra cost.

Can you recommend other vendors?

Yes. We are happy to connect you with vendors for your event, including bartenders and servers, and tent rental companies.

Do you style events at other venues?

Yes. Through A Design Co., Angela styles weddings and gatherings at other venues. Travel beyond 50 miles of Huntsville may add a fee.

Where do guests park?

In the driveway, with overflow next door in the church parking lot or along Main Street.

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

Yes. Guests can be dropped off at the sidewalk out front, where a large ramp leads up to the house and a short ramp takes you inside. The main room, kitchen and restroom are wheelchair accessible.
