This was the DREAM place to have our reception. The fact that the flowers, cake, and food was included made planning our wedding a breeze. Mike and Tara were so great to work with, and every time I called or emailed them I had a VERY prompt response and my mind was put at ease. We even had friends of our book their reception at The Abbington the night of our reception because of how incredible the place is. I have already recommended this place to everyone I know who is engaged, or soon to become engaged and I can't say enough wonderful things about it. My husband, our parents and I really felt the planning process was made much easier by the all inclusive aspect of the Abbington Packages!
Also- We had so many compliments about the food, and the bar that we could write a book based on them! The service was amazing. Dian was phenomenal and the rest of the wait staff was just as attentive and professional!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING US TO HAVE OUR DREAM WEDDING!

The Abbington was perfect! They were always there for us to answer any questions we had leading up to the wedding day! The wedding day itself was incredible! Kathy made me feel so special and all of the guests raved about how well organized the service was!!

Everyone seems to steer away from banquet halls because they have horrible service and serve bland food...this is definitely not the case. First glance of Abbington may not be the greatest since it's next to a wal-mart, but as soon as you walk inside you're transported to a very elegand place. My husband and i chose the prestegious package since it seemed to have a few more perks to it and it was worth everything! I was a little weary at first but after seeing it all come together in the end it was priceless. When everyone arrived to the reception hall i forced myself to stay out of the room until they announced us and i was so glad i did! They even had a personal bridal suite for the bridesmaids and myself to relax with some champagne and hourd'voures before it started. The food was absolutely amazing! 5 courses is definitely a lot but it gives everyone enough energy to party through the entire evening! We even bought an extra late night buffet deal just in case people were hungry, which they loved! We were getting compliments left and right about how beautiful the place was and how wonderful of a job everyone has done and that it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to. We had the wonderful Mike Fabbri help us with everything... down to the last little details. Thank you so much for dealing with me!! :) and to anyone who is unsure about banquet halls, check out the Abbington before you say 'no' completely.

All I can say is that Tara and Kathy and the whole abbington staff and chefs went beyond amazing in all of there services. The whole entire room and decorations and omg the food, words can not explain how wonderful everything was. Everyone was amazed at the dinner and the room, even my guests who had dietary needs were impressed with the quality of the food. The service was impecable and 5 star all the way. Tara our coordinator was helpful and patient with all of our needs. Our guests and family and myself and my new husband were waited on hand and foot. The abbington offers everything for your perfect day and they go out of there way to make sure your day is a dream come true. I highly recommend them for any occasion, they know how to put it all together.

My husband and I were very pleased with Abbington. My husband's brother and sister-in-law also had their ceremony and reception at Abbington. Both of the weddings went so smoothly thanks to Tara and all of her staff. I even forgot some of my mom's glassware that we used to keep the bouquets in. Tara let me go through all of their glassware to find the ones we left behind. Their food is excellent!! The waitstaff was wonderful. The bartenders were polite and accomidating. Tara was such a great help throughout our whole planning process. She pretty much doubled as a wedding planner and provided information to us that didn't even pertain to her job. Everyone really made our wedding amazing.

The Abbington was absolutely amazing! Our staff the night of our wedding was wonderful and we got tons of compliments on the food! Absolutely loved working with Tara and everyone there. Thank you for making my day so super special!

We worked with Jessica and she was very helpful from start to finish. She made sure we were getting everything ready for the wedding and was very understanding as well when it came to changing guest numbers. She made sure everything went perfect and she did everything that we told her regarding the decor.

The abbington staff was amazing on our wedding day and I am glad we chose this banquet even though it was an hour away! I would recommend it to other brides because you wont worry at all and it will make your wedding planning much easier!

We are so glad we chose to have our reception at the Abbington. Working with Tara pre-wedding was a breeze! She was always responsive over e-mail and really took the time to get to know what we wanted. Working through the paperwork and everything with her was so easy, she's very organized. I had a few guest with dietary restrictions and that was no problem, she handled everything. The tasting was excellent and easy, and the food day of was exactly the same. Everyone was raving about it!

The wedding cakes are included in the package here, and about two weeks before the wedding the bakery they'd be working with quit! They immediately got another bakery and our cake turned out beautiful! I think it probably even surpassed what the original bakery was going to do!

Our room captain Paulette was great. When we got the the venue day of, she immediately introduced herself and had some appetizers sent up to the bridal room. She checked in with us all night to make sure we were doing ok and handled any thing that came up.

I couldn't have asked for a more flawless evening! You won't be disappointed if you chose The Abbington.

July 8, 2011 was our wedding date and we worked with Tara. She did a fabulous job. I could not have asked for a better coordinator. She was very flexible with me and listened to what it was that we wanted and met our expectations. Actually, she and the Abbington staff exceeded our expectations. Our wedding was great, everything turned out wonderfully and thats because Tara and the staff made sure everything looked the way it should. The food was awesome. We also got a late night snack and dessert table...WOW! Everyone was impressed with that, especially the dessert table! Great people to work with and trust for your wedding, great venue, just great overall!

Wonderful! The room was gorgeous and the service was wonderful to me and my wedding party. Everything went over perfectly and I couldn't be happier. The cost for the type of party we had was valued very well. We had an amazing meal, awesome service, a beautiful room, and a very wonderful consultant to work with (Jessica Sclafini). I highly recommend Abbington - ask for Jessica!

I can't say enough good things about the Abbington! My husband and I got married in June of 2011 and from the beginning, everything went smoothly. Jessica was helpful and informative and quickly answered all of my questions. On the day of the wedding our room captain, Chris was a rock star! He checked on us often and was there for anything we needed (or wanted). Our guests said it was the best food they've had in a long time (not just at a wedding). All the filets were cooked the same (which is rare for banquet food). The space was flawless.

I could go on for days about how much I love Abbington, but I think there's a character limit. I have no hesitations recommending them to any bride in the future!

Everything at the Abbington was wonderful. We had so many compliments on the food and service. Jessica was great to work with from beginning to end. We recommend this venue to everyone we know. Thanks for helping make our wedding unforgettable!!!

The Abbington and the Abbington Staff are truly amazing! I was able to have a fabulous reception and not break the bank doing it! Jessica was wonderful and so detail oriented. She always got back to me in a very timely manner and made my husband and I her top priority. The Abbington can meet the needs of both a money conscious bride (like myself), or one who will pay top dollar. The Abbington Rocks!!

We just had our wedding on June 5th at The Abbington. We loved it!! We worked with Jessica, who is just amazing! The food is delicious and the venue is gorgeous. They really pay attention to every last detail. We have gotten so many compliments about our reception because of all the hard work they did. It was really our dream wedding!!

The Abbington offers great value and fabulous execution! Our planner, Kathy K, was so flexible and paid close attention to detail when working with us. Our staff that evening were also fabulous - people are still raving about the quality and quantity of food - and the decor was perfect. We were so happy with the venue and definitely recommend!

Abbington was a wonderful place to work with! Jessica was my consultant, and she was great with answering questions and accomodating our needs! The venue is so beautiful inside, and each bride gets a private suite for her and her bridesmaids. The food is AMAZING- I got so many comments after the wedding about how great the food was (and I didn't even choose anything fancy- just the stuffed chicken). There's so much of it too!

They did a great job setting up the reception with all our favors and flowers. You get a pretty good deal and a lot included even with the lower package they offer. I would highly recommend Abbington Banquets- they really know how to throw a gorgeous, but fun party!!
