Our wedding was a dream!

I cannot say enough about Asbury Hall. Our wedding day was a dream from start to finish. The building itself is stunning and had all our guests impressed with it’s historic charm (most out of towners!), but the venue’s coordinator Austin was really the MVP of the entire affair. He was so patient with me and all of my questions and put me at ease. He knows weddings so well and I was so impressed with him and our set up. He kept steady communication going with us throughout our year and a half of planning. The catering was excellent and our servers and bartenders were amazing. Many of our guests contacted us the day after to tell us how much fun they said, and several said it was the best wedding they’d been to. My new husband and I HIGHLY recommend this venue!!!! Do not hesitate! Thank you Austin!

Asbury Hall at Babeville was the best choice we made when it came to our wedding. The venue is amazing. The history and grand size of the Hall is breath taking. We got along with staff throughout the whole process and I already miss them. The food was delicious. There were a lot of options to gear our wedding towards our winter/Christmas theme. I highly recommend this venue site.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
