The date of our wedding day was set based on what days The Abbington was available and we were not disappointed. The service of the staff was incredible and all of the food was delicious. We received numerous compliments for how the room was set up, how attentive the staff was and for how good the food was.

Kathy Koutsogiannis helped set up our reception and our room manager that night, I believe her name was Diane, took care of not only the Bride and Groom but also our parents. It was a subtle touch that really meant a lot to us.

The Abbington was AMAZING!! Their staff is WONDERFUL and the place is BEAUTIFUL!! The captain was awesome and made sure our evening went perfectly. The food was amazing and everyone just raved about it, they even had doggie bags so people could take their left over foor with them since they give such big portions. The sweet table was great and had soo much stuff on it. They really cater to your every need. Kathy is AMAZING there also!! They make sure everything is set up just the way you want it and are so polite and helpful with everything! I had black and hot pink as my colors and Kathy had so many ideas with what we could do. She suggested using black napkins instead of the white at no extra charge and even changed my cake table tablecloth to black the day of the wedding which looked awesome with the hot pink and lime breen flowers on it. The chair covers, sashes and table runners that they use are in very good shape and looked amazing as well. I would highly recommend the Abbington to everyone!! I looked at 15 different reception venues before finding the Abbington and I am soo thankful that I finally found it. It was the best wedding I could have ever asked for.

I can't say enough about the Abbington. Tara is simply wonderful. My limo broke down and the driver was rude so when I arrived, I was upset and my dress was stained. They whipped into gear (almost an hour earlier than I said I would arrive) and got us water, refreshments, and helped remove the stain! They went above and beyond. In addition, the food was spectacular and we have had many, many compliments that our wedding (8/23/2008) was one of the best people had ever been to with regarding to the ambiance and taste of food. I highly recommend the Abbington in every area. Oh, and when our headcount was low, they provided a sweet table at no additional cost so the guests that did attend had a wonderful experience.

The woman we worked with (Jesssica) was wonderful. She assisted us with all of the reception planning details. The looks of the planning went well, banquet hall was beautiful, and the flow of the day while at the hall went great! Would definitely recommend this hall to others.

We loved our reception! It was exactly what we wanted! Kathy is so great to work with! We even had 2 guests show up at our ceremony that were not RSVP'ers, and she found placecards that matched ours, filled out the names, and placed them at tables before we got there. They are very personable, and it's just nice that the flowers, cake, food, and decorations are all included in one price.

The Abbington is a wonderful place to host your reception. I was impressed with them from the very beginning of my wedding planning process. The prices are great, the knowledge and service amazing and they took care of all the details. It was painless working with them and they were extremely professional. I cannot think of one complaint. I was able to relax on my wedding day and not worry about a single thing. I would recommend this place to anyone.

This place was wonderful and SO accomodating. However, the only downfall is that it shares a parking lot with a Wal-Mart.

The Abbington was wonderful. The food was delicious and the packages were reasonable. The staff was so accommodating to anything we wanted to do outside the norm. Since our wedding, my good friend and cousin have both had their weddings at the Abbington.
