Dream Wedding Day Come True
Thank you Tara & your amazing team for making our dream wedding day come true. The food was phenomenal, the service was above and beyond and they were so easy to plan with. Tara is an expert and I couldn't have been in more capable or caring hands. Everything I absolutely need to have a wedding was included in their packages and they were able to accommodate all my want and wishes so easily.Thank you Tara & your amazing team for making our dream wedding day come true.

Dream Venue
The Abbington was our dream venue!! Not only does it have a STUNNING appearance with big beautiful chandeliers and a huge ballroom dance floor, but the staff was SO great to work with! Tara was absolutely amazing and helped make the planning process stress free with her calm, sweet personality! She was always quick to respond to my multi-question emails, she was so polite to my crazy family and made sure our day ran exactly as planned and it truly did! Our guests are still raving about how beautiful it was to this day, saying they felt like they were at a fairytale wedding! I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone in the search process!

Thank you Abbington for helping us have the best day EVER!-

Incredible Banquet, Wonderful Wedding Party
From the event coordinators to the service staff, everyone was so friendly and professional at the Abbington. We were able to have a stress-free time with how smoothly everything was run. Planning a wedding from abroad is normally so difficult, but because of our awesome coordinator Kathy, we were able to get everything we dreamed of, exactly the way we wanted it to be.
It's been two months since our wedding, and our guests still talk about how genuinely delicious the food was (even down to the coffee!), how attentive the staff was, how nice and big the dancefloor was, and simply how beautiful and elegant the event looked.

Everything was perfect!
I would like to highly recommend the Abbington Distinctive Banquets. We held both our ceremony and reception at this venue and was very pleased! We selected this venue based on its elegance (I absolutely loved the north ball room which features oversized windows allowing beautiful natural lighting, oversized chandeliers, and neutral color tones blending that blended well with our color palette. We also loved the fact that they have an option to host the ceremony in a separate room from the reception which was an absolute must for me, I am very particular and a little hard to deal with at times due to my over attention to detail and wanting every single detail preplanned and perfectly executed.

Tara my venue coordinator was very accommodating to my "type A" personality :) She was very patient with me no matter how many times I contacted her, or regardless of how many times I stopped by the venue to run through things or do mock set ups, and was always just a email/ phone call away throughout the entire planning process. Leading up to the wedding one thing that I had not thought about prior to booking this venue is that we wanted a traditional soul food cuisine and the venue does not offer outside catering. Tara went above and beyond to meet my needs by helping us put together a custom menu using items from their various banquet menus. She also allowed us to request extra seasonings and provide details on how to turn their traditional menu Mac and cheese to "southern style baked Mac and cheese to give the food the southern flare we desired. The chef did an amazing job of executing it and the food was delicious and an absolute hit! My family (including the great aunties and grandparents) whom are tuff food critics were very pleased! We had absolutely NO complaints with anything related to the venue on our big day and would like to thank the staff at the Abbington Distinctive Banquets for being top tier! Everything was perfect!!!-

Classy and reliable
Tara, Mike, Kathy and the whole team at Abbington helped make our day picture perfect. From their dependability, transparent nature and helpfulness it made planning a wedding enjoyable and easy! Tara really helped me bring my dreams to life and spent time helping me with every little detail down to the perfect napkin fold for my guests. I would have more events at the Abbington for their beautiful space and helpful staff alone, but the food was also amazing. Coming from a foodie background, this was VITAL for our wedding. My guests are still raving about the food at our wedding. If you're looking for a classy, traditional and delicious venue then Abbington is your place!! Not to mention their preferred vendors are also amazing.Tara, Mike, Kathy and the whole team at Abbington helped make our day picture perfect.

Beautiful venue for a wedding
I can't thank everyone at Abbington enough for creating our dream wedding! With the pandemic we were worried about the possible changes to everything but luckily we were able to have the wedding we wanted with the help of Abbington. We loved the great communication and the food was delicious and definitely a hit with our guests! Thank you to Abbington and you truly have an asset in Tara. What a warm, funny, knowledgeable person she is and she made our wedding planning so much fun! I will highly recommend this venue to everyone!I can't thank everyone at Abbington enough for creating our dream wedding!

We had the pleasure of working with Tara and she was phenomenal! She was very accommodating and flexible with planning during a pandemic. We loved having the North Ballroom with the patio for cocktail hour and mingling throughout the wedding. It also made for beautiful pics at night with the lighting. Guests continue to rave about how amazing the food was, especially the filet!

The Best Choice
This was the last place on our list. When we walked into The Abbington we were really impressed. They had the look that I wanted for my dream wedding. The beautiful chandeliers and tall windows were gorgeous. The staff was very nice and professional. And the food. Omgoodness! The food was the best food you will find. I had not one complaint about the food or service. Every person on that staff was so kind. Don't hesitate on booking The Abbington. It's was the only place that checked all the boxes for me.This was the last place on our list. When we walked into The Abbington we were really impressed.

Covid Wedding
My husband and I had our wedding here this past Labor Day weekend. Let me just say Aly our coordinator was amazing to work with! She made the process so smooth . The servers were great too! If I could give more stars I would. The room, the food, and the attention to detail that the Abbington provided made our wedding day perfect even during this pandemic. If you are considering them for an event id say absolutely go here. They have amazing customer service and the ballrooms are gorgeous. I look forward to having more future events here. Thank you for making our day truly a fairytale.My husband and I had our wedding here this past Labor Day weekend. Let me just say Aly our coordinator was amazing to work with!

My favorite venue!
I recently had my wedding at Abbington and it was amazing! This was my family's third time booking at Abbington and each time was better than the last. My sister had her wedding here 5 years ago and I was planning on ONLY having my bridal shower here. After complications with our original wedding venue (2 weeks before our wedding!!) I quickly reached out to Aly to see if they still had availability and if she could help me with this important event, again only TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE WEDDING, and during a pandemic, might I add!

They were so accommodating and amazing overall! -

Wedding postponed to 8/8/20 and worth it!
I am so happy I booked with Abbington! Tara really made everything go smoothly for us which was difficult due to Covid-19. We had to postpone our wedding and they were extremely flexible with us, which I heard was not happening with other wedding venues. Not once did I worry I wouldn’t get the wedding I dreamed of. Tara responded to every email, call, and voicemail so quickly. She answered every single question I had.

Abbington Banquets was nothing short of amazing! We started the process of selecting a venue for our July 2020 wedding in September of 2019.

The uncertainty of being able to have a wedding and reception during the COVID pandemic was stressful but Abbington did not disappoint! While we were on lockdown, Aly stayed in communication with us to provide updates.

We of course had to cut our guest list significantly due to safety orders and appreciated Abbington for keeping the health and safety of us and our guests in mind. On the day of the reception, everything was absolutely beautiful from the decor to the staff! The staff was safe and wearing their masks, the banquet captain for that day ensured the order of the reception flowed according to our timeline and they all did it with a smile (even behind the mask). All of our guests raved about how flavorful and delicious the food was. We couldn’t of asked for a better venue to host us during these times and I highly recommend Abbington Banquets to any and all looking to host an event in the Chicagoland/West Suburban area! -

Unforgettable Day!
We hosted both our ceremony and reception here at the Abbington, and we truly could not have imagined a more perfect night. We were catered to all night by our room manager, and got SO many compliments on the food, the venue, and the service! I kept in touch with Tara leading up to the wedding and she was always so helpful and willing to answer questions. I have nothing but amazing things to say about the Abbington, and can’t thank the staff enough for making our day amazing and truly unforgettable!We hosted both our ceremony and reception here at the Abbington, and we truly could not have imagined a more perfect night.

Simply amazing!
The best part of our wedding was by far The Abbington. From the day we walked in for our first tour to the night we walked out at the end of our reception was nothing but amazing. Aly our wedding coordinator is simply phenomenal, you can tell she truly loves her job and that makes your experience even better. I really thought of Aly as a friend by the end of the whole process. A month has now passed since our wedding day and people are still raving about the food and impeccable service. My wedding day was truly a dream come true and I have the Abbington to thank for that and am forever grateful.The best part of our wedding was by far The Abbington.

My husband and I had our wedding this past January and we had worked with Tara the entire 8 months of us planning and everything came out AMAZING!! Our ceremony and reception and we couldn’t be more happier with how everything turned out. From the flowers, to the cake, to how Tara became our same day coordinator and had gotten our ceremony organized, even with how they setup our decorations made everything look so elegant and picture perfect for us. Then her staff...PERFECTION! The staff catered to us and all of our guest that we were blown away by their service and the close attention that they gave us.

Then her staff...PERFECTION! The staff catered to us and all of our guest that we were blown away by their service and the close attention that they gave us. There was also extra food from some guest not showing, out of the corner of our eye we saw the staff bring out containers for food to be taken home. Once we talked to a few of our guest they all stated that they were able to take the extra food to go. That completely blew our minds away, because we’ve been to other’s weddings at other locations and no one else had offered to box the extra food for guest to take home. Tara and her wonderful and amazing staff blew our wedding out of the park that we had gotten so so many compliments from our guest for months. Then let me not forget, the food...one word, DELICIOUS! You will not be disappointed with portions either. Your guest will go home happy with full stomachs. Tara and her staff gave us the most amazing experience that we couldn’t imagine we would have. We recommend anyone that’s having a wedding, or even a large event, to definitely book Abbington Distinctive Banquets. You’ll absolutely love everything about it. -

Our wedding reception was amazing. We worked very closey with Alyssa. She was AWESOME and paid action to detail. The Abbington's staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a perfect reception. The food was delicious (actually better than the tasting), our host was on point with all the particulars, as well as the servers. The server for the head table made sure we had everything needed to keep the party going. I can't say thank you enough. We only had 1 problem, it went by too fast. We needed a couple more hours to dance. lol Thanks again.

We immediately fell in love with Abbington for its elegance and class and knew it is perfect for our July 2017 wedding!!!
Throughout the entire planning process Tara and Michelle were dedicated, attentive and prompt to answer any and all questions I had. Attention to detail is very important to me and I was not disappointed whatsoever. I appreciate the entire planning staff respecting all my decor preferences and wishes!
Compliments to the Chef and the entire kitchen staff for delicious food, cooked to perfection! The entire menu was delicious and we received so many compliments on the Chicken Piccata and filet mignon!!

Our captain for the night, Diane, is such a pleasant and friendly lady! Diane assisted us throughout the entire evening, looked after us and made sure we are taken care of!
Both our bartender and our Martini bartender were extremely pleasant and very friendly!! Their service was fantastic and prompt. I apologize for not remembering their names.
Our reception took place in the South Ballroom and it is such a beautiful space and room!!
Thank you Tara and Michelle for such a seamless planning process! You are both very passionate about your work and it shows!
We could not be happier with Abbington and its class and elegance.
Thank you!!

I had driven past Abbington many times but was cautious because banquet halls are always so dark and cheesy. We fell in love as soon as we walked in the door. It was very glamorous without being over the top. The north ballroom was the perfect location for our day event, with the windows pouring in with natural light and the new patio outside!
Our coordinator Alyssa was amazing. She responded quickly to our emails, she was able to incorporate some special touches for our brunch reception (being able to access online menus during the research process was especially helpful), and she was just super fun to work with! The value of our reception package was unbelievable, and...I had driven past Abbington many times but was cautious because banquet halls are always so dark and cheesy.

The value of our reception package was unbelievable, and they also included assistance with some decor set-up, which meant I didn't need a day-of coordinator.
The day of our event was a whirlwind, but it still makes me teary to think about how our wedding was everything we were hoping it would be. Even now our guests rave about the food and the staff. Our captain, Javier, was an angel. I dropped some tortellini right on the front of my dress (I know, I obviously don't make good wedding day choices.), and he was right by my side within seconds with a cloth and some club soda. Crisis averted. Each of my guests had a story about their servers who were excellent and tried to learn their names and provide the best experience possible.
I will recommend Abbington to anyone who will listen. Don't let the Walmart nearby fool you; this place is DuPage County's best kept secret. -

Tara and the Abbington team are absolutely wonderful. The venue was absolutely beautiful!! The food was fabulous.

I can't say anything but positive things about Abbington and it's staff. From last August we were working with Tara and she was nothing short of amazing. She is very quick to answer emails, offer suggestions on decor and flow of the reception, and easy to work with. On the day of the wedding, she was there the entire time and coordinating with all my other vendors making sure everything was going as smoothly as possible. Paulette, our room captain, was very sweet. She made sure everything was packed up at the end of the night for us. She even sent us with our entree due to the fact that my husband and I didn't really have a chance...I can't say anything but positive things about Abbington and it's staff.

We chose to do our dances in between each course (father daughter dance during starter, mother son dance during soup, etc) and my only issue is that our waiter cleared our plates too quickly. Since we were occupied during each course, we didn't really have a chance to enjoy our food. I realize that there was a timeline that needed to be followed and if any future brides are planning on doing their dances this way, just make sure to give yourselves enough time to eat.
Thank you Tara and the Abbington staff for making our wedding day such a memorable experience! -
