The Country Abbey has a talented staff that is extremely attentive to the bride's every need. The beauty of the chapel's natural light and the quality of the decorations shows through in the wedding photographs.
We enjoyed working with The Country Abbey, we delivered the wedding cake and the tables were dressed and ready for us. They were easy to work with and the facility was so beautiful. Looking forward to working with you again! Tracy's Cakes

I recently delivered the cake for a wedding at The Country Abbey. The bride was very happy at the end of the day. The location is sweet and pretty. I would refer a bride to The Country Abbey and deliver there again.
You will LOVE The Country Abbey! It's a very romantic venue for your wedding. The staff is friendly and very easy to work with. I highly recommend them.

Tips and Advice
Flower Girls and Ring Bearers
If the children in your wedding party are under the age of 6, it is important they attend the rehearsal if at all possible.  Allow them several trips down the aisle before, during and after the rehearsal.  If more practice is needed, arrive a little early on the wedding day and let them walk down the aisle several times before guests arrive.  But, for a young child,  it can be really scary to face a room full of strangers looking at you, so have a "Plan B" ready in case the child balks.  It is better to let them stay in the foyer with a parent or familiar family member than cry all the way down the aisle.  That upsets everybody.   Afterward, you can bring them up to the front for photos with the wedding party.  Children who are 6+ years usually love the attention and are thrilled to be in the wedding!
