    Incredible Venue

    Could not recommend 9th Street Abbey more. The entire experience was made possible by their point person Madeline Gala, an incredible & caring force.

    I have never seen someone move heaven and earth so much to make a wedding so special.

    Beautiful venue. Beautiful people.

    Perfection

    The 9th Street Abbey was the perfect venue for us! It was stunning and Madeline was incredible to work with. She was beyond helpful, responsive, and accommodating. She made sure everything ran perfectly throughout the day and was more than on top of everything. I can’t recommend this venue enough!

    9th Street Abbey's reply:

    Thank you so much Haleah! You were the absolute cutest bride and you and both of your families were so nice and fun to work with as well! I am happy to have gotten to be a small part of your big day!

    Perfection!

    The venue was stunning. The service was exceptional. Our guests raved about the garden patio for cocktail hour. I wouldn’t change a thing!

    The Abbey is an incredibly beautiful place and a perfect choice if you are interested in having the ceremony and reception in the same location as we did for our 9/18 wedding. We did not have an outside wedding planner, but Patty Long's day-of planning staff are professional, knowledgeable and extremely organized. Our day of planner, Jenna, was able to coordinate the timeline, vendors arriving, wait staff and the overall flow of the event from start to finish.

    Additionally, because the catering and the venue are tied together and there is a kitchen on-site, the food is very fresh and not at all like typical wedding food options. (Dry chicken, anyone?) They were able to work with us to create a custom brunch menu that our guests loved.

    We received many compliments from our other VENDORS about how well-produced, beautifully and smoothly the entire event went. Our photographers were AMAZED at the natural morning daylight in the loft area (I highly recommend renting this as well as the venue for the bridal party to get ready in). The garden area, staircases, stained glass, and high arched ceiling create the perfect backdrop for top-notch photos. I would recommend 9th Street Abbey, or Patty Long's Catering, in general, to anyone without hesitation.

    We held our ceremony and reception at 9th St. Abbey for our June 2018 wedding. The venue is gorgeous. The food is so easy to customize and fair in their pricing . Andrea was assigned to help us through the entire planning process and the day of. She provided the best service was our own personal wedding planner the day of. She made sure everything went perfectly and every detail was fulfilled. You will not be disappointed booking your wedding at 9th St. Abbey!

    9th Street Abbey's reply:

    Hi Olivia,

    We are so happy that you were happy with everything! That is our number one goal and I am glad that we were able to fulfill that for you and that your day was beautiful! CHEERS!

    Most wonderful experience starting with the staff, especially Jenna, the food, and of course, the Abbey itself. Everyone acted like it was their daughter too. I highly recommend 9th Street Abbey and Patty Long Catering.

    This venue hit all of the buckets we were looking for. We wanted a venue that could host both the ceremony and reception, but also a venue that had character and charm The Abbey was perfect because it is naturally a beautiful venue and so very little additional decorating was needed other than the table decor and some added up-lighting. The courtyard provides some amazing photos once the sun sets. The added bonus of being paired with a wedding coordinator 3 months out was a huge piece for us also because they helped guide us with some of the smaller details we hadn't even considered and provided expertise based on their experience. They also allowed me to remain stress free the day of by handling many of the details that would otherwise stress a bride out.

    I narrowed my venue list to 3 and The Abbey was the 1st of the 3 I visited. I didn't even want to go to the other two appointments but did so out of courtesy. I would recommend them to anyone that would listen!!

    Julia was so friendly and always made us feel so comfortable. Jenna was top notch! She was pleasant and went above and beyond--even weeks after the reception. I did not want to take anything away because we were beyond happy with our experience, however not letting vendors in until 4pm the day of made for some significant stress. On the bright side, everything worked out. Thank you for being amazing!

    We had a list of venues to look at for our wedding and 9th Street Abbey was the first one we went to. We immediately felt at home at the venue and put down our deposit without looking anywhere else. We worked with Rachel as our coordinator and she always seemed as excited for our day as we were. Rachel worked so hard to make our day perfect. The rehearsal and the day of the wedding were very organized and efficient. We had both our wedding and reception at the 9th Street Abbey and the event went on without a hitch.

    Patty Long Catering's 9th Street Abbey is a gorgeous venue, and worth every penny! We worked with Julia and Rachel, and they made planning our perfect wedding such a breeze. The food was delicious, the venue and courtyard garden were beautiful, and we couldn't have asked for a more wonderful place to have the best night of our lives!

    Maura is so amazing! She is super professional and organized. She pulled off everything flawlessly. She knew exactly how to run the rehearsal by making everyone feel super comfortable in their roles. She made the planning so easy. I felt like I was in super capable hands the entire time. I never felt like I needed to answer a billion questions or anything. Maura was a life-saved right before the ceremony. It was raining outside and my hair was awful and soggy and the boys wanted to run and get hair stuff but Maura said she had a curling iron. My friend redid my hair, and Maura brought us a couple of chairs and towels so we could clean up our dresses. She timed everything so perfectly, too!! I felt so calm and collected when she told me it was my time to walk down the aisle.

    Patty Long catering is as good as everyone says. The food is DELICIOUS. The appetizers were okay, but our Gus pretzel bar was awesome. We had a grilled cheese and soup station, pasta station, mashed potato station, and a modified Indian station (with mango lassis!!). I loved ALL of the food. People raved about the grilled cheese on rye bread. They raved about the soup. They raved about the mashed potatoes (which I had two portions of as the bride!). The people who don't try new things raved about how they tried the chicken tikka masala for the first time and were blown away. We had Ted Drewes and then toasted ravioli at the end of the night, too. Everything was so so so good. I asked for a take away box and got to thoroughly enjoy the food later on when I finally got back to the hotel, too.

    The service was amazing by all of the staff. When I first went to the bar, I didn't want to drink alcohol, and they gave me a fancy drink because I was the bride. I was so ecstatic because I felt so fancy with my normal drink of coke. We had a dedicated person for our table which was pretty awesome, too.

    I can't recommend this location enough. It's gorgeous on the inside.

    Patty Long Catering at the 9th Street Abbey made our wedding unforgettable!!! Julia and her team took extra care to make sure all the details that I took time in careful planning was executed flawlessly! Everything from a surprise floral gift from an uncle (that could not make it to the wedding because of inclement weather) that she was able to incorporate into the reception in the most perfect way that we will always remember. She made sure the "kids table" was set up just perfectly for my nieces and nephews to enjoy! The champagne was poured at just the right time and the guests were simply amazed by the transformation from ceremony to reception only took 40 minutes. They were welcomed into a completely changed space for the reception and all the details that Julia and I planned were 100% executed. I HIGHLY recommend Patty Long Catering and the 9th Street Abbey for any wedding!

    The 9th Street Abbey and Patty Long Catering were fantastic to work with. I lived out of state and had to plan my entire January wedding from a distance, but both Julia and Darla made things so incredibly easy for me, and made sure that I had everything I wanted on our wedding day. The staff is so flexible and welcoming and the venue is beyond gorgeous. The architecture is breathtaking, and the lighting vendors they work with really know how to highlight the sky-high ceilings and beautiful stained glass. Even my largest concern, which was having the room flipped while everyone was inside, was no problem at all. The staff made it absolutely seamless. The food was delicious as well! We had one of the buffets and everyone was extremely pleased with it. They were even extremely helpful with particular guests’ dietary needs! I love 9th Street Abbey and recommend them highly to anyone interested!

    I’d always loved 9th Street Abbey, and it was on my short list when we started looking for wedding venues. The space is so incredibly unique and versatile and the staff (I worked specifically with Julia and Giselle) were so incredibly helpful and accommodating. I had many questions and concerns throughout the planning process and they were quick to respond and always willing to work with our requests. They even helped us come up with a special ‘kids’ station’ to go with our action stations for dinner to accommodate the significant number of kids we had!

    I also can’t say enough fabulous things about the staff that worked out wedding. So incredibly professional, helpful, and definitely willing to go above and beyond. I was a little concerned about the room flip getting done in time, and they had it completed before you could blink! The wait staff was especially accommodating to my husband and me – consistently checking in on us and making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We've received soooo many compliments from guests about the quality of the venue, staff, and food (the pasta station was AMAZING). I just cannot say enough wonderful things about this place! Thank you so very, very much for making our wedding day perfect!

    Not only is the Ninth Street Abbey an enchanting and beautiful venue, the team at the Abbey is incredible! Julia and Giselle helped make my wedding the most perfect day. They worked with me to execute my vision for my wedding day, and when I walked into the Abbey everything was exactly how I envisioned it would be - only better! They are extremely responsive, patient and they have great ideas. They actually made the wedding planning process FUN! From the exquisite stained glassed windows and gorgeous cathedral-like ceilings, to the whimsical patio garden and DELICIOUS Patty Long Catering food, I simply could not have asked for a more wonderful wedding day, and I owe much of that to the fabulous Ninth Street Abbey Team!

    The Abbey is beautiful and vintage and seriously a dream venue! The stained glass windows, the fairytale garden, the tall ceilings, I relive it and can't help but smile form ear to ear every time! The venue only is made better by the amazing staff. From the sales representatives that helped us in the beginning, to our day of coordinator and the wedding day staff, everyone was always working hard and wearing smiles while doing it! They were so easy to work with and accommodating for our big families and really just big wedding in general (we maxed out the place). The Abbey was definitely at the top of our price range, but I could not be happier that we decided to invest in such a perfect venue for our unforgettable day.

    We were very pleased to host our daughter's wedding reception at the Abbey. Jenna took very good care of us and worked with us on creating a wonderful evening for our daughter, her husband and all our guests. The outdoor courtyard was beautiful with the vines and lighting and made for a relaxed and magical start to the evening. The interior of the Abbey is beautiful all by itself and needed little embellishment from us. Loved the the ability to do uplighting along the walls. The staff was very friendly, professional, accommodating and seemed pleased to be serving us. My only negative was the location of the controls for the sound system that controlled CD playing and the microphones, the controls were in a separate room from the main hall and required someone to be running back there to start and stop music and microphones. Not a good set-up and something I think should be addressed. On the plus side, an early day test of the equipment alerted Jenna to a faulty CD player and she went the extra mile and got a new CD player and had it installed in time for our event. Amazing. That's the kind of service you'll get at the Abbey. Lovely place. Wonderful day. No regrets. - Nielsens

    I simply love this building, it was perfect for me in that it feels romantic, traditional, and church-like but we did not have a religious ceremony. The garden is beautiful and everyone raved about it during cocktail hour and took photos by the fountain! Once it turned into the reception hall too it was wonderful for dancing. The staff was all very friendly, our coordinator helped with everything (I didn't know of any problems if they occurred). We even received a goody bag of leftover food and wedding cake when we left!
