The Abernethy center is a gorgeous facility with two venues on the property. Both Abigail's Garden and the Veiled Garden are perfect venues to have the wedding of your dreams. The professional staff at the center is well trained and ready to jump in and help. I am always greeted with a smile and time line for your big day.

A Fairy Tale Wedding! My clients have been so happy with the service they've received at Abernethy Center. I personally love to perform weddings there. The staff is always professional and organized so that the event goes off without a hitch from the planning, to the rehearsal to the reception. The gardens are enchanting. The smaller Veiled Garden is perfect for a wooded ceremony in a beautiful gazebo with a babbling brook beside it. The Abigail's Garden can accomodate a small to a huge wedding with the reception right there in the huge tent with a dance floor, twinkle lights, bar and buffet. You just can't go wrong with the Abernethy Center.
We have photographed many, many events in both the Veiled Garden and in Abigail's Garden and it is always a wonderful place to work. The coordinators and the staff are friendly and easy to work with. This is a 'Bride Friendly" venue for sure, working to make the clients wedding day an incredible experience. Both locations (Veiled and Abigail's Gardens) are immaculately kept up and beautiful locations to work.
