Meks On Main is full of love today!
Our Main Banquet Hall at 207 N Main is hosting a beautiful baby shower for Gabrielle & Eric as they prepare to welcome their sweet baby boy.

Our amazing new space, The Studio, at 110 E Archer Ave will be filled with cherished memories and warm hearts as friends and family gather to celebrate the remarkable life of BJ Cavanaugh.

Two celebrations, one shared space for love, laughter, and life.

Better late than never! 🎉

Monmouth High’s Class of 1980 finally got the reunion they’ve been waiting for—40+ years in the making and worth every second. Originally planned during Covid, this celebration was all about reconnecting, reminiscing, and making up for lost time. ✨🖤
