    We had our wedding and reception here on 6/10/17. I can not say enough good things about The Abbey! It is definitely a hidden gem! At first I wasn't sure about it from the pictures on the website, but we fell in love with it when we visited the first time. It's so unique and we loved the historical feel to it- it's a beautiful and different venue, which is exactly what we wanted! Our guests LOVED it too, and so many of them came up and were asking how we found the place and commenting on how great of a venue it was. Kelly Rossi was so great with answering all my emails over the 1+ year after we had booked it, and Kristi Bryant was also very friendly and helpful! We also loved how all the staff (floor manager, servers, bartenders, etc) were so professional and did an amazing job with treating us and our guests so well throughout the whole wedding and reception. They also did a great job with my milk allergy, which I was very worried about! I am extremely allergic to milk or anything dairy, but they did an amazing job with putting together an allergen safe menu for me, watching cross contamination, etc. We loved everything about The Abbey and can't say enough about it! It was also surprisingly reasonable in price and definitely seemed much more expensive than it actually was. The food was delicious (we got so many compliants from our guests too), and the bar package was great as well! Both of which were very reasonable in price. Our guests (and us!) are still talking about The Abbey and how great our wedding was- Our wedding day would not have been the same at a different venue. Thank you for making our wedding day perfect!

    The Abbey was a dream to work with. Kristi Bryant was a joy to collaborate with on our reception. She was straight forward and always eager to listen to what we needed, even we weren't sure what that was. The quality of the food was outstanding and the service was really top notch. I would do it all over again with them in a heartbeat.

    The Abbey was beautiful and elegant the perfect location and ambiance for our reception.
    The food was exceptional and am still receiving comments of how beautiful it all was.

    Kristie was wonderful in helping us set everything up and go through the planning. Our reception turned out as well as i had imagined and would make the same decisions again and again. It was a gorgeous evening and truly my favorite day !!

    The Abbey was my location for my reception. I loved the venue, it was absolutely gorgeous. The day of the wedding, there were so many amazing staff members that helped us with everything. They were very kind, accommodating, and very good service. I think we got a really great deal for our wedding, I am very happy with everything. They did everything we asked for and more. I would say, overall, They are very professional and experienced.

    My wife and I absolutely loved having our wedding reception at The Abbey. The venue was so amazing. It's so much more dynamic than a hotel conference room and adds a really unique touch. The architecture of the building alone makes it a classic. The inside is so amazing. The lighting, the different level of floors and the general layout all added up to make our wedding so perfect. We had many friends and family say that it was the best wedding they had been to, and i believe at least 50% of that was because of the abbey. The food was also amazing. And for the price, relative to big name hotels and other artistic venues, the appetizers and food were very good. The only gripe i had was the lady who was assigned to our evening was a bit rude. We wanted to add a projector that we brought and the lady acted like it was the end of the world. Also, at the end of the night the lady was very rude telling people to leave. They promptly had us out of there at 10 PM, which is understandable because that was the end per our contract, it was just the manner she told guests to leave which left us a little upset. Overall, the venue is amazing, dealing with the contract was easy, it was just the lady that was assigned to our wedding that was the only negative.
