The Best Team!

The Abbey Catering & Event team was an absolute pleasure to work with and I couldn't recommend them more! Troy, Megan and Chuck were always very timely with their responses and were extremely easy to work with throughout the planning process.
I feel so extremely lucky to have had Chuck Ferrante as our coordinator - he was the easiest person to work with in the months leading up to the wedding. I never felt pressure from Chuck to add any unnecessary features or costs to our day and he was so helpful with suggestions, tips & tricks to make sure our day was seamless and beautiful. Our wedding day was perfect and I trusted Chuck 100% to make my vision come to life - he is calming, organized, professional and a just a true pleasure to be around!! Can't say enough good things about Chuck!

Now for the food - delicious! I never have high expectations for wedding food but we are still getting compliments on our appetizers and dinner selections from our guests. The staff was extremely attentive the entire night and there was not one complaint from our guests, only compliments!

I was in a wedding a few weeks after mine and the coordinator for this wedding was considered a "luxury wedding planner". The organization, planning and execution from the Abbey team was leaps and bounds ahead of this luxury wedding planner - I couldn't be happier with our decision to go with the Abbey!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
