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.
Abenethy Center is a fantastic wedding venue, and very easily one of our all time favorites over the years! Two beautifully manicured gardens and full reception facilities make the venue a great choice year round, but in my opinion what really sets Abernethy Center apart from the rest are two things: the exceptional staff and the delicious food. As a wedding videographer I've shot over two dozen events there and have yet to encounter a meal that wasn't scrumptious! And on the staff side, they treat the bride and groom like guests at a 5-star hotel on the wedding day, constantly checking to see if they need anything and generally just going out of their way to make the day smooth. I absolutely would not hesitate to strongly recommend Abernethy Center to my clients, it's a wonderful place to be married!!
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.
A Sound Choice Entertainment has been a preferred vendor at the Abernethy Center since 2005 and preforms over twenty events a year at the center. 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. I would encourage you to take a tour of the facility and book early. If you have any further questions about our experience at the Abernethy Center please call us at 503-557-8554.
