Endorsements
"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!!"
"I always look forward to working at the beautiful Abernethy Center. The Abernethy Center is located in the heart of Oregon City Oregon. With indoor and outdoor locations for ceremony and receptions all in a very private setting. The staff has always been very professional and helpful to work with. Angel Stegmann Owner/Designer"
"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 very beautiful & serene setting to host your Special Day. The team at Abernethy is absolutely the best in the business! They are attentive to your needs and make you feel like the "Prince" & "Princess" on your Big Day. Their entire staff are friendly, courteous and professional. They work very hard to make sure no detail is missed for your Celebration. I have worked at many many facilities over the past 5 years and I can tell you it is always great to be back working at Aberenthy Center. They help me do my job better so the overall experience for the client is 100% Perfect!! Please don't hesitate to call or email me for additional information. Shawn Whittemore Owner & Operator Event Team Entertainment 503.380.9479"
"Parke Avenue Limousine has been succesfully associated with The Abernethy Center since 2001, and highly reccomends it has memorable and elegant facilty to have any wedding. Gary Parke 12-08"

I found the Abernethy Center years ago online and fell in love with it! When I got engaged it was the first place I thought of to go look...and I was not disappointed! They made one of the most important days/nights of my life absolutely magical...I have been to many other venues in the Portland Metro area and The Abernethy Center truly was the best choice I could have ever made!...If you choose the Abernethy Center don't be afraid to brain storm new and innovative ideas with the staff they are open and willing to work with you to make your special day all that you want it to be!

Each individual of their staff was very friendly, helpful & outgoing. From the first day we walked in the door to the night we left the reception the service was exceptional and beyond comparison. The energy in the entire space is positive. They have a huge selection from food & beverage to linens & ideas. The aesthetics of the venue are beyond belief. Other gardens are not as clean or well kept & for the price you get more than expected. I would recommend this venue to anyone for a wedding, banquet or other special event for its beauty & service which are beyond comparison to others in the area.

The Abernathy Center was absolutly wonderful, so wonderful, that 2 of my friends booked a wedding through them.
Our personal DJ didn't show up, and they said, "No problem, we will make sure your songs are here in time." And that is what happend, our music was there without a hitch.
Our wedding coordinator, Elizabeth,was amazing. She explained everything I needed to know, and took care of EVERYTHING! She was ontop of everything; nothing on our wedding day fell through the cracks.
Their food was amazing, the staff were so wonderful, and they truely made everyone welcome. There was no pressure to leave, but just to relax and have an amazing time.
I would do it again in a heart beat!! Everyone should get married at the Abernathy Center. Everyone who was invited to our wedding still talk about how wonderful our wedding was....Thank you Abernathy!!

The Abernethy Center is the BEST!! We planned our wedding from out of state and we needed a venue that we could trust. Our wedding was flawless. Elizabeth made sure everything went off without a hitch. The venue is so pretty and PERFECT for a wedding. The food was great! Our family loved it and so did we. We highly recommend the Abernethy Center.

I had absolutely nothing to worry about on the Big Day, and the venue was spectacular. It was like something out of a movie with the greenery, the white gazebo, and the babbling brook. The food was so delicious. I had guests comment multiple times about how great the salmon and the salad were.

Abernethy Center was fantastic to work with! At first I thought it was a lot of money, but for what they provide, it really is worth it. You don't have to worry about any kind of rental fee, etc, everything is all included. We worked a lot with Allison and she was very helpful in answering any questions we had. They were very accommodating and flexible to work with. And the food? Well, pretty much amazing. We still have guests a year later that tell us how amazing the food at our wedding was. The garden that our ceremony took place in was beautiful and the ballroom extremely elegant. Would definitely recommend them to anyone!

The Abernethy Center exceeded our expectations at every step. The venue, the catering and the office staff (Rachelle) were all amazing and my wife and I could not have asked for a better experience.

I cannot recommend the Abernethy Center more. Very impressive and a perfect venue for that special day.

Everything went so perfectly. It was smoother and more beautiful then I ever imagined it would be. The Abernethy Center was so accommodating, they made everything I asked for happen. It was very well organized and so professional, I’m still receiving compliments from our guests on how good the food was.

Although I chose not to use this vendor, the contact that I spoke with was gracious and accommodating, she offered me many varieties of ways to execute the big day. Unfortunately my big day was already taken by someone else! The grounds are absolutely incredible, you feel like you are a princess walking through a fairy tale, I would recommend the Abernathy Center to Anyone!

We loved everything about the Abernethy Center. Our ceremony/reception took place in Abigail's Garden and it was BEAUTIFUL! They also provided the catering for our event, DELICIOUS! We still get comments from our guests about how beautiful our wedding was. It was due in large part to the wonderful grounds, the great staff (we loved working with Sally), and lovely food. We highly encourage you to consider Abernethy Center for your wedding.

We had our wedding on a Wednesday night in Abigail's garden. It was beautiful! Everything was set up when we arrived. When we walked into the bridal suite, there was a tray of snacks, wine, and a fridge full of soda. There was even a special note. Everything was taken care of on our wedding day. I did not have to worry or stress about any of the details because it was already taken care of. Even though our wedding was on a weekday, it felt like it was a Saturday night becuase The Abernethy Center took such great care of us. They plated our food and brought us drinks before we even had to ask for them. It was a great wedding, everyone had a great time. Our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to.
