Best Decision We Made

My husband and I were married at The Abbey earlier this month, and we had an amazing experience! The venue is gorgeous, and the included amenities are amazing. Everything from the bridal suite to the reception area was absolutely stunning. The staff was amazing - very attentive! The venue coordinator changed about halfway through our process, but Jacqui, the new coordinator, didn’t miss a beat. Truly, she is the reason that our day went so well! Overall, prepare for a wonderful experience if you choose The Abbey. This is a decision you will not regret!

Would do it all over again!

My husband and I got married at The Abbey in February 2023. We chose The Abbey because of it’s beauty and close location to hotels and access to Ubers for our guests. It was important to us for our guests to not have to drink and drive.

We met with Alison who is absolutely wonderful! She gave us a tour of the entire venue. We booked and started planning. Alison was on her A Game the entire time. She had recommendations for caterers, DJ services, and so on. She also had a spreadsheet/timeline to help us all stay organized. She touched base with us frequently and also responded quickly when we had any questions.

About a month before the wedding, we met with Alison and Lori(the owner of the venue) to discuss, plan and design our wedding day decor and layout. We were not very caught up in the details so it was so helpful to have them both there, helping us design how we wanted our wedding to look.

Our wedding ran so smoothly. There were no issues. Alison and her team made it all perfect! They coordinated everything for us from the arrival, getting ready, first look photos, to preparing our things at the end of the night. They had everything lined up on a table for us that needed to go to a car. We were out of there so easily and quickly at the end of the night.

My husband and I stayed onsite at the Airbnb that night. It is a beautiful place. Everything was so clean and spacious. Alison and her team had our personal belongings there waiting for us.

Also, I want to add that mine and my daughters feet were killing us so Alison sent someone to the bridal suite to get my slippers and their crocs so we could dance comfortably the rest of the night. Alison also held onto my personal belongings and cell phone and provided it to me and recorded some special moments for me at my request. She also got us some food and drinks from cocktail hour while we were taking photos. Oh and she provided some trays/platters for us that we needed. And she provided a wheelchair for my 94 year old grandmother to use. She is amazing!

If we had to do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a single thing! This was both of our’s second weddings/marriages so to have someone spend so much time and pay attention to detail and make it go so effortlessly was worth every single penny. This venue and staff deserves more than 5 stars!

Dream wedding

My husband and I were married at The Abbey on November 12, 2022 and had the most amazing experience! We couldn’t have asked for a better team! Right from the beginning Alison took care of absolutely everything and made sure that I had nothing to worry about and could enjoy my day. I would recommend her and the team 1000 times over as they gave my new husband and I the wedding of our dreams!
