Abington Art Center Reviews

Kate Winters and Alvethorpe Manor are both fantastic! Kate’s creativity, willingness to please and strive for perfection are immeasurable. They’re my new “go to” event people!

Abington Art Center was the first venue we viewed and we immediately fell in love. Sam was fantastic to work with and helped us with every request. Sam was willing to work with our timeline, helped run rehearsal/the wedding day and any time we needed anything (including things we forgot at the hotel) her and the team found a solution. Our guests loved the Center, the art, and the surrounding nature. We did a lot of our own decorations including the flowers and the Center was more than happy to work with us. We could not have been happier with our selection.

Amazing venue-beautiful landscape- ability to have wonderful wedding despite some rain!! Guests loved the place and beautiful pictures using the windows in the bridal suite, the woodsy areas, the staircase down in the lobby. Amazing areas for open bar and apps. Thank you to Samantha (coordinator) for making the magic happen! Affordable, but lovely place!

Extremely helpful, flexible and friendly. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. Guests enjoyed the art, beautiful venue.

Outdoorsy setting perfect for your wedding!!

absolutely beautiful venue and the staff was flexible and made my dreams come true!

We had our rehearsal dinner and wedding at Abginton Art Center and it was absolutely perfect. The location is beautiful and provides a lot of variety if you're interested in an outdoor wedding with a good rain back up plan. Our guests raved about the space. Kimesha was our wedding coordinator and was very responsive and accommodating. She allowed us to drop off our wedding items a few days before the wedding which made set up so much easier. Kimesha was also helpful in setting up our laid-back rehearsal dinner the night before. We wanted something low key without having to deal with a restaurant. This was perfect and site fee was very affordable to allow us flexibility. The space has a bridal suite and groomsmen lounge. We were able to get our hair/makeup done in the bridal suite which negated the need for a limo. Just perfect. We had a blast

A slight hiccup with some billing issues and I think that may be related to a change in wedding coordinators mid-way through the process. However, Kimesha was eager to get the issue resolved and it turned out to be fine. Overall, I definitely recommend Abington Art Center to couples how want a unique space and are interested in an outdoor ceremony that has some structure to it.

We absolutely loved everything about hosting our wedding reception at Abington Art Center. Their outdoor pavilion is a wonderful space with so much potential to create whatever atmosphere you are looking for. We kept it simple with our décor and used the lighting the center provides, including the bulb lights that are strung from the ceiling, which we loved. It was a little chillier that day (October 11) that we had hoped but the outdoor setting still worked because it has a solid floor and ceiling, and the open windows have curtains that can be pulled over and snapped so light is still let in but your guests are protected from the elements, and they can go back and forth undercover between the pavilion and the manor. The galleries inside the manor are great for your guests to explore, as are the sculptures on the grounds. We LOVED the sculptures as a backdrop for our photos, especially the proscenium arch from an old theater (aka the gold picture frame). The event staff was wonderful to work with and always available and helpful throughout the process. They have several preferred caterers to choose from - we used Curds and Whey and I couldn't recommend them more highly either - amazing food and service! We love being able to return to our venue for different events that they hold throughout the year - not everyone has the opportunity to go back to the place where they shared so many amazing memories. We can't wait to be there for their concerts this summer and reminisce about our perfect day.

My wedding turned out amazing at this venue. Nothing short of amazing!!!

My wedding at the Abington Art Center was amazing and absolutely perfect! Kimesha answered every one of my many questions quickly. Everyone I met that works there was kind and helpful! I have no complaints about their service. I couldn't have asked for a better day. Thank you for helping to make it so special!

Abington Art Center was our last stop on a daylong tour of wedding venues, and it was---in every way---a breath of fresh air! We loved the building and especially the grounds immediately, and the staff's flexibility and friendliness put us at ease. Jody was a pleasure to work with, going out of her way to ensure than everything ran smoothly for us.

We held our wedding ceremony outdoors, with dinner and dancing in the pavilion---while the kids enjoyed lawn games. Our guests are still talking about how gorgeous and special the setting is. This is a wonderful place to get married, and an amazing value.

It truly was a lovely venue for our wedding. It was perfect. The event coordinator Jody was quick to respond to any of my questions and was very friendly and professional. If I know of any friends or family that are looking for a venue for any occasion, I will definitely recommend AAC.

Jody was a pleasure to work with. We were hoping to have use of the grounds, the ceremony was supposed to be outside - unfortunately the rain threw us for a loop & we had to move everything inside. Still beautiful, still an amazing time!

It was a beautiful event, perfect venue - everything about the Abington Art Center was perfect. It was beautiful, elegant, perfectly situated, easy parking, wonderful staff. Steven, the young man at the front desk during the event was helpful, charming and delightful. Jody was easy to work with - and the catering selection (Curds n' Whey) was perfect. A perfect evening. Looking forward to hosting future events at Abington Art Center.

We held our rehearsal dinner at the AAC on November 8, 2013. We absolutely loved the venue and were so happy to kick off our wedding weekend there! Jody Brookman was very helpful and responsive, and she always responded to my 4838474 emails within a few hours. She opened up one of the galleries that isn't usually used for parties to accommodate our many guests. I didn't have to worry about a thing and we are so appreciative. Thank you! We'll be sure to recommend the AAC as a venue to our friends and family.

The Abington Art Center (AAC) was the perfect venue for our corporate event. We presented the first in a new seminar series from Discover My Potential (www.DiscoverMyPotential.com)... a lecture with three top speakers on Child Communication, Autism and IEP Review.

The entire team at AAC was incredibly professional and flexible. They did all the setup, provided a projector and screen, presented a full spread of refreshments and a table for registration. They attended to our every need and were incredibly accommodating when we needed to change some logistics as the size of the event grew.

Whether an indoor or outdoor event, AAC is a superior facility, offering amenities not found in other venues. I would recommend them to anyone hosting an event that wants to impress. We'll be back!

Fabulous venue with many options. My daughter had a bake your cupcake party and it was a blast.

I needed to find a very small venue to fit about 30 to 50 people, I came across the little abington meeting house and instantly fell in love with the place. It's small rustic and romantic and the price was right! Jody was fantastic and even allowed us to come in the day before the wedding to decorate which made our wedding day go by smoother. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a intimate, romantic setting on a small budget.

We absolutely loved this place! The staff members are extremely helpful, pleasant and cordial. All our guests liked the place even though the weather wasn’t nice. There is plenty of space for the children to play around which makes it a very good place for kid’s parties.

Our event was my son's first holy communion. Please add that to in the event list

Abington Art Center was the ideal venue for our intimate birthday dinner. The room was cozy and elegant and the staff was wonderful. It was a unique place to hold a birthday party and the guests appreciated the the atmosphere. I would recommend this to anyone.

Abington Art Center was the perfect location for our wedding! It was a really beautiful setting at 30-50% of the cost of the other venues we looked at in the area. The outdoor space is fabulous and we took some fun pictures in the sculpture park.

The team there is also great to work with -- Sharon was really professional and has great relationships with all of our vendors, making the day run seamlessly.

We had a great experience at the Abington Art Center. Everything was taken care of and the day was beautiful. It was a great choice!

The staff was great and very helpful thrugh out the planning process.

They made our day wonderful!

I loved this venue! I had the most wonderful experience at the Abington Art Center. Everything about it was perfect. Sharon is the coordinator. She is the absolute best person to work with. I would recomend to everyone who wants a gorgeous wedding in a unique venue for an affordable price.
