Beautiful Venue and Amazing Support System

Abernethy was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the very first time we visited to view the venue, they made us feel special. We made an appointment and when we arrived our names were on a sign in the parking lot. Karissa was so nice answering all of our questions, offering advice and sent us home with a bottle of champagne. We couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful Abigail's garden was and ended up booking the venue later that day. It was the best decision we could have made! Karissa became our contact for the rest of our experience and she was fantastic! She helped us navigate our way through a pandemic postponement making it easy and alleviating the stress. Abernethy set up a pandemic friendly to-go tasting which was wonderful! Abernethy provided us with an extremely helpful list of preferred vendors. We ended up picking nearly all of our vendors from this list and they were all excellent! As the time for our long awaited wedding drew closer I was absolutely overwhelmed and had hit a wall in planning. I contacted Karissa and told her I needed help. She put me in touch with Abernethy wedding coordinator Kassandra and after one conversation with her I could feel a weight being lifted from my shoulders! I quickly hired her onto our team and I will forever be glad that I did. She helped me through the process and on the day of was an absolute superstar! We dropped off our decor the day before our wedding and when I arrived the day of everything was set up and was absolutely gorgeous! Kassandra guided me through my wedding day calming my nerves and making things happen so that I could just enjoy me day! I am so thankful I had Karissa and Kassandra throughout this process, they took the burden off of me and made our day perfect! Every other member of Abernethy staff I came into contact with were amazing as well. Communication was phenomenal. Every time I called, if Karissa or Kassandra were not there other staff members did everything they could to answer my questions or see that I got a call back asap. Everyone was kind, positive, professional and patient. Thank you Abernethy! Thank you Karissa, Kassandra, Robin, and Mandy! I wish I knew everyone's names so that I could thank everyone. I felt supported through every step of the process! Everything was magical!

The perfect experience!

We chose Abigail’s Garden at Abernethy Center for our October 2025 wedding and could not be happier we did! Karissa our event manager was so helpful throughout the planning process answering any question we had. From the first tour until the day of our wedding, Abernethy Center displayed an immense care for detail and made us feel so special throughout the process. The venue is gorgeous and so well maintained. The food is amazing - our guests raved about it nonstop. Their preferred vendor list helped a ton in our planning and every vendor we chose from it turned out to be incredible.
Our day-of coordinator, Katie, was absolutely amazing and made sure every detail of our day was taken care of and executed flawlessly. She was so thorough in our planning meeting and took care of everything from decorating, coordinating with our vendors and keeping everything on track the day of. At the end of the night, she had all of our decor and leftover food packed up and ready to be put into cars. I can’t express how nice it was to know that everything was taken care of. Because of this, our bridal party, families, and ourselves were able to truly just enjoy the night without the burden of set up and tear down.
Abernethy Center is truly a top notch venue and I can’t recommend them enough.

Highly Recommend

The Abernethy Center was incredible for our wedding! We had the pleasure of working with Kassandra as our event coordinator. She went above and beyond in accommodating our guests and answering all of our questions and concerns.
Katie was our day of coordinator. She was absolute superstar! She was well organized and had an answer for any issue that arose from the moment we got there until we left.
The staff was incredible organized, thoughtful and proficient in setup/teardown and timely and attentive for the duration of the wedding. Food and drinks were fantastic and have gotten nothing but positive reviews from guests.

The wedding venue of our dreams

We got married at the Abigail's Garden location of the Abernethy Center in August 2024. The venue is absolutely stunning and the staff are wonderful with prompt and concise communication, but hands down the food was our favorite part this venue. We loved our entrée choices and still have a single frozen pasta leftover from our wedding! We chose the mushroom ravioli (along with the prime rib) and it was the favorite of ours and our guests.

We worked with Karissa, Kassandra, and Josie to plan our dream wedding and they were an absolute joy to work with and made our wedding day go as smoothly as possible. We highly recommend this venue! From start to finish we knew were were in the right and best hands for our perfect dream wedding celebration. Each email and in person meeting was professional and organized, we never left with more questions than we arrived with. My only regret is not adding more time at this venue!

Beautiful venue for our big day!

Weeks later, we're still absolutely gushing over the Abigail's Garden at the Abernethy Center; it was the perfect venue for our wedding. They had it all, from amazing staff to incredible food to beautiful facilities, not to mention the gorgeous site grounds. We could not have asked for better! They truly make you feel like a VIP throughout the weekend and their top-notch events team helps ensure that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. Karissa was our event coordinator. She was so well informed, kind and responsive and truly made the experience so easy for us! We could not recommend the Abernethy Center enough, no matter which area you choose; the gardens, the ballroom and the chapel are perfect places to host your big event. It's definitely well-worth the investment for a beautiful, love-filled day!

We LOVED Our wedding at the Abernethy Center!

We LOVED our wedding at the ABERNETHY Center! Karissa our managing coordinator went above and beyond for us planning. We also really appreciated the staff day of wedding at Abernethy and especially our day of coordinator - Jasmin was amazing as well. She leaned in and made our special day go off smoothly. A++ to all at the Abernethy Center!

Absolutely stunning and beautiful venue

We had our wedding in Abigail’s Garden on June 30,2024. It was the most beautiful venue I could’ve ever imagined. Our guests were absolutely stunned with it. The workers were so sweet and accommodating. It was very spacious, the bridal and grooms suite were amazing. The ceremony was gorgeous. I’m so grateful we were able to have our wedding here. Definitely recommend!!

Perfect venue for a classy, elegant event

The Abernethy Center was truly the perfect venue. I wanted indoor spaces for my wedding, and the Chapel and Ballroom were perfect for this. The grounds are beautiful as well, with lots of outdoor spaces for photos. The food was phenomenal. We had heard it was good, but were still surprised by just how good. Our guests loved it. We also opted for the full coordination package, and it was absolutely worth it. Kassandra was so great to work with. From the very beginning she helped us every step of the way to plan the event, answer all of our questions, and keep the whole process moving smoothly. On the big day, it was such a relief to have someone handling all of the logistics so all we had to do was relax and enjoy the day with our loved ones. Kassandra and all the team at Abernethy are truly remarkable and I cannot recommend them enough! Photos by Alyssa McConaughey Photography.

Exceptional

Abernethy Center is the perfect place to celebrate a wedding. Kassandra was a joy to work with, and the entire process was seamless. The venue is stunningly beautiful, the staff are wonderful, and they certainly know how to throw weddings. While other reviews had already commented on the food, I was still amazed by just how good it was. The cost was extremely reasonable given the quality of everything, and we found that it was comparable or less expensive than many other lesser venues in the area. I simple cannot recommend this venue highly enough.

Service so Perfect, it's Spooky!

Abernethy Center provided the perfect backdrop for our festivities, and their team was invaluable at helping our vision come to life!

We wanted Spooky Romance meets Autumn Glamour for our October wedding, and the Chapel + Ballroom were the perfect venues to achieve that. I love that our rental of these venues included access to the Veiled Garden for gorgeous outdoor photos for our First Look and family/bridal party portraits. This also is a great backup plan if you're planning an outdoor ceremony and the weather takes a turn for the worse.

Karissa was an enormous help during the days leading up to the wedding, and Anna NAILED IT as our Day-Of Coordinator. I highly recommend adding a DOC to your wedding package, it is worth every penny. We did not have to worry about any of the details and were free to celebrate with our friends and family.

If you are looking for a venue with natural outdoor beauty, or the aesthetic of a chapel wedding, or a classically elegant ballroom - and the freedom to customize these spaces with the decor that fits your vision - Abernethy Center is all these things and more.

It was a relief that all their catering is in-house, and the food was amazing! We felt very taken care of when our leftovers and a bottle of bubbly was packed away with care for us to bring home.

We had the most amazing day, and Abernethy Center was a huge part of that! We are so grateful.

Abernethy does weddings RIGHT!

I recently had my wedding at Abernethy Center and cannot rave more about this venue. It is absolutely drop dead gorgeous - the grounds are so well kept and stunning. The Abernethy staff is beyond helpful, organized, and professional. They know weddings like the back of their hand and ensure everything is perfect for your wedding day. The things that stood out to me the most were:
1. The beauty of the venue and how well the decor was setup
2. How present I felt all day knowing that Abernethy had taken care of everything for me so that I didn't need to worry at all
3. How well everything flowed - from the ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner, speeches, dances, etc.
4. The food- people told me numerous times that this was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding, and it was!

I truly cannot thank Kassandra & the Abernethy team enough for making our day so special and carefree.

Thank you from a very impressed wedding planner

I'm a wedding planner, and, as a rule, I rarely write reviews for venues but I have to acknowledge the hard work of the team at Abernethy Center.

We worked together on a wedding in September 2022. The entire team went above and beyond to accommodate the health and safety boundaries of the wedding even though this meant extra work by the Abernethy team both before and on the event day. I deeply appreciated this.

It's very clear they know events, and have clear systems for making sure things run smoothly.

Oh! And the food. INCREDIBLE and also predominantly vegan per the couple's request. Thanks so much, Team Abernethy!

Beautiful Elopement Space

We had our intimate wedding ceremony on a Wednesday afternoon in December, and we felt very welcomed and supported by all the staff. I have food allergies, and the catering team was able to make me a meal that looked the same as everyone else’s, except it was completely safe for me to eat! And it was so delicious. All our attendants were impressed with the cleanliness, organization, and professionalism of this venue.

I cannot recommend Abernethy Center enough. The team was absolutely incredible to work with. My husband and I got married during the pandemic and were really nervous about everything.

Abigail's Garden Wedding

My husband and I had a change of venue just months before our wedding date, due to COVID-19. We decided we wanted to be outdoors for obvious reasons and so we toured and decided to go with Abigail's Garden at Abernethy Center. Kassandra helped us along the way and was so wonderful. She was incredibly responsive and fun to work with. Both my husband and I agree that our wedding day went better than we ever could've imagined and this was in large part due to Kassandra, the GORGEOUS venue and the support team on site that day. Jenny helped on the day of and we only have the most amazing things to say about her! Our family members and guests still rave about her as well. She made sure everyone was happy from the moment we arrived on site. I highly recommend Abernethy. They ensured COVID-19 precautions were taken every step of the way which was greatly appreciated by us and our guests and made for a wonderful, safe event.

Completely satisfied and so incredibly blessed!

My hubby and I got married on August 13th, 2020. Originally, we were supposed to get married on June 18th, 2020. COVID changed things but this venue was incredibly supportive, flexible, and organized. Our wedding was a perfect and magical day. The people who work here sincerely want you to have a wonderful experience. Kassandra was an amazing on-the-day coordinator. I literally didn't need to worry about a thing the day of. It is a beautiful venue with talented staff. This was the first and only venue I looked at because I was impressed from the beginning. I truly felt like a princess on my big day and all our guests were impressed with the venue and staff. They said it was one of the best weddings they have been do despite COVID. You cannot go wrong with choosing this venue. We highly recommend it. We only wish that the day lasted longer. It happens so fast so bask at the moment!

Absolute professionals who care

Finally getting around to writing a review 3 months later, but we honestly could not recommend Abernethy Center more highly. From every aspect of the planning, consultation, contract proposals, vendor recommendations, and everything imaginable, the Abernethy Center staff made sure our entire wedding planning and day went so incredibly smoothly and without a hitch. Big shoutout to Kassandra, Sara and Ruth who helped answer a million questions and created the best service experience possible, making our day incredibly special. We even had to shift our ceremony from the garden to the chapel with about 20 minutes notice due to rain and unexpected outdoor karaoke at the bar next door. I wouldn't recommend that last-minute of a switch, but they rushed to make sure everything was set up and our ceremony went off without a single hitch. They really did take care of us and our guests the entire time. They're absolute professionals and it shows. Thank you all again sooooo much for making this crazy wedding planning and event hosting so effortless and easy for us. We appreciate all you did to make our special day perfect for us and our guests!

Amazing venue with great staff

My wife and I got married at Abernethy Center as a "destination" wedding (we live in Arizona). The whole process, from the initial site visit, planning, and the actual wedding day was great. Kassandra was our primary contact, and was great to work with, never giving any sense that my constant stream of emails were too much, and always answered my questions in a friendly and professional manner (even in the cases where I was sure I had already asked, and just couldn't find the answer).

The actual wedding day was more than I could have hoped for. Everything went off perfectly (or if things didn't, I had no idea because they are that good). Our day of contact kept everything moving on track, was flexible with timeline when our ceremony was slightly shorter than anticipated, and was super helpful in making sure that we got some mac and cheese bites to our seat when the late night snacks were out.

110% would recommend this venue!

The perfect venue!

I went to a wedding here when I was 8 years old and thought it was the most stunning place I had ever been. When I got engaged, I thought that I wouldn't be able to afford to get married at such a beautiful venue but I looked into it, just in case. From the moment we spoke with someone on the phone through following up after our wedding, they were absolutely wonderful! We took advantage of a special they were running on brunch weddings, so between that and the payment plans, we were able to afford our dream wedding. We live in Nevada and they were so helpful coordinating with us out of state. Through countless emails and phone conversations, they were able to help us make our wedding day perfect. On our wedding day, Jenny was so helpful and kind through chaos and snafus and we can't rave about her enough! The food was unbelievable and the mimosa bar went perfectly with our brunch wedding. I can't think of a more beautiful locale, helpful staff or perfect venue to have your wedding at!

Kassandra and the team were very helpful, responsive, and made our wedding day special. You would never know that the venue churns our so many weddings, they treat each couple as if their wedding were the most important. It was wonderful!

So Glad We Chose Abigail's Garden

Rainy Outdoor Wedding in June

Gorgeous garden and helpful staff! Karissa was very responsive to all our emails leading up to the event, and Bobbi was sweet and sure to check in on us throughout the wedding -- as well as the other staff on scene. We especially appreciated their accomadation for the rain that came to make our June wedding all that more unique. And for their patience regarding our wedding party shenanigans. ;)

The venue is well kept and we felt welcome there. We like that there's a room for the groom and groomsmen to get ready too, not just one for the bride. Great experience over all!

Bride and Groom

The staff at Abernethy Center was amazing. We had so many things go wrong (none on their part) but they made it as stress free and beautiful as possible. The guest list ended up being very low. But it was beautiful just the same. Robin-event coordinator (aka “Rockin’ Robin) and Lacey (who took over for Robin when she had to leave early) were so sweet and amazing. The Abernethy Center even packed up all of the left over food (due to a lower expected guest list) along with a full bottle of champagne. so we were able to enjoy the food when we came home from our honeymoon. They also sent us a $100 gift card just because they liked us and knew things didn’t quite go as planned. They were amazing. Along with our amazing DJ (sound waves DJs) (Preston) he was also very impressed by the staff at Abernethy Center. I hope they add DJ Preston as a preferred vendor. He would love to work there again. He is a very good dj and is affordable. Thank you to all of the amazing staff at Abernethy Center Adam and I had an amazing time. It was like we were in a dream.

Wedding was a Dream Come True

The entire Abernethy staff was amazing to work with. Always kind, responsive, and willing to answer any and all questions we had. Our wedding day was beautiful, we couldn’t be happier with our venue choice!

Simply Perfect

We could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding. We felt supported throughout the entire process - shoutout to Kassandra who was wonderful! So many of our guests commented that it was the nicest wedding they'd been to and I have to believe that the reason was the venue. The food was incredible, the fact that they offered a full bar was perfect for us, and the Ceremony Coordinator, Jenny, went above and beyond to make our day perfect. We couldn't be happier and feel it was a tremendous value!

Went on a tour and had a consultation

My fiancé and I flew in from out of town and Kassandra was always super fast to respond and was very flexible with us. We got to do a tour with her and just my fiancé and I which was awesome. She took the time to answer all of our questions and I never felt rushed.

Venue of our dreams

The Abernethy Center was the venue of our dreams, and was perfect for us! We had the pleasure of working with Kassandra and Bobbi, both of whom were amazing and so helpful! We had our ceremony in the chapel and our reception in the ballroom. Everything was perfect for us, the staff, the food, everything! Couldn’t thank them enough!

Working with Abernethy was a pleasure!! We picked this venue as we were planning our wedding from afar and wanted something all-inclusive. Abernethy provides its own catering, bar, some decorations, and dining set-up which was great! Karissa helped my fiance and me plan the perfect day, and Bobbi was our day-of coordinator and helped everything flow smoothly. She also ran through the rehearsal and last-minute details with us. The venue was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and everyone had a great time. The bridal and groom suites were stocked with beverages and light snacks for us while we got ready. The crew that helped set-up did a fantastic job and our venue was ready in plenty of time for the event. We got married in Abigail's Garden and words cannot describe how magical and beautiful it was. I would highly recommend Abernethy! Thank you for making our special day so perfect!

Abernethy Center is an amazing venue. It's beautiful and feels like you're in your own little fairytale world when you're there. The staff is amazing! This place is a seriously well oiled machine. I worked with Kassandra through the planning process and preparation and she was there for me every step of the way. She was responsive, kind, and patient with all of my questions! On the day of, Ruth had our day run so smoothly. I never worried that things would go wrong because this team of awesome people made me confident in their ability to get the job done. All while being so gracious and kind. Thank you, Abernethy Center!

I've had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid and a Florist at the Abernethy Center and on either occasion it could not have been a more positive experience. The entire staff, especially Sara Hofman and Heide Hendrick, set the bar in the industry; their thoughtful attention to detail, prompt & friendly communication and enthusiastic energy are simply unmatched. Each of the venues on site photograph beautifully and directions as well as parking are a breeze for guests/vendors. The catering menu is also crave-worthy! I could not say enough about this hidden gem in Oregon City.

Our daughter, Katie got married on Nov. 18th at the Abernethy Center, and it couldn't have been better! We were so very pleased with this venue. To begin with, Kassandra, our event specialist was great! She was very friendly and was so prompt in returning our emails and calls with answers to the questions that we had as the event got closer. Ruth, the day of coordinator was fantastic! She did an awesome job of facilitating the rehearsal. The day of the wedding, she was right there, ready to help with any last minute issues we had. Ruth was so positive, friendly and enthusiastic. She certainly added to the smoothness of the whole day. The food was delicious! Many guests even commented to us on how good the food tasted. The servers were there to help, yet in a very inconspicuous way. All in all, we couldn't have been happier with our choice of using the Abernethy Center and would highly recommend it to others.

My husband I got married at the Abernethy Center April 9th, 2017 and it was absolutely perfect! We had our ceremony in the chapel and reception in the ballroom. We were even able to use the Veiled Garden for pictures and family time. I can't recommend them enough. The staff was fantastic (extra kudos to Karissa!) and went above and beyond to make our day swoon-worthy. Great communication from beginning to end, yummy food, and a beautiful site. A day I will cherish forever, we couldn't have done it without them!

This is absolutely the most perfect place ever. It is a beautiful setting, the chapel is amazing. They have several packages to choose from and the wonderful consultants are so sweet and helpful from beginning to end. They are willing to work with payments and I would recommend the Abernethy Center in Oregon City to Everyone....

Aside from a few strict limitations, this venue was worth the price! Our 200 guests felt spoiled and like kings and queens at a royal gala. We bought the TRIO package. Our wedding was AMAZING!!! The champagne welcome hour in the Veiled Garden was the perfect ice breaker until following the path up to the Chapel for the ceremony. And then across to the ballroom where the fun continued. The grounds are SO beautiful!!! And the space was absolutely perfect for 200 guests.

I got married in Abigail's Garden a month ago, and it was absolutely the best day, ever! Everything went perfectly, in most part, thanks to Abernethy Center and its staff. I have to credit Abernethy with helping me find some amazing vendors, such as my photographers (Steele Photography), and ceremony musicians (Duo Con Brio). My husband and I were given a packet that contained info on preferred vendors, which led us to the aforementioned vendors, who contributed in our perfect day! So, you can say that the Abernethy Center was beyond helpful from the start. They invited us to a Chef's preview a few months before the wedding so we could sample delicious food, and decide on our dinner menu. We filled out a menu worksheet, which our event specialist, Elizabeth kept until our in person details meeting took place. At this meeting, we were able to discuss not only menu, but timeline/set up etc. Discussing these details in person definitely helped to alleviate some wedding planning stress, especially since we found out Abernethy was was willing to work with us on some timeline/set up issues we had come across. They were very kind, understanding, and helpful! On rehearsal day, we were greeted by our ceremony specialist, Lindsey. She was very sweet and helpful! She lined us up and ran us through our processional/recessional and let us practice until we felt confident that wedding day would go smoothly, and guess what? It did! From our arrival on site to our departure, everything went perfectly. Lindsey was there to guide us through everything and field any vendor questions so that my husband and I could relax and enjoy our day. Service from the staff was exceptional the entire day! The food was delicious- we received lots of compliments on it! We had a dessert bar, and Abernethy even worked with us and made us a Smore's bar, which was a HUGE HIT! Everyone (especially my husband and I) enjoyed our time in Abigail's Garden! Everything was SO BEAUTIFUL and turned out PERFECTLY!

This place was seriously beautiful! I can't believe how good my pictures looked. We were in the Veiled Garden with a ballroom reception and it was an amazing setting. The ceremony felt like we were far away from everything, even though we were right in town. The ballroom was a fantastic place for a reception. The getting ready room had plenty of space, the go-to woman for the day was incredibly helpful. They were so on top of everything, I can't believe how smoothly everything flowed. I know they always so that something always goes wrong at a wedding, but absolutely nothing did.

We did a morning wedding, with a brunch reception and a mimosa bar. I worked with Elizabeth to put together a perfect menu, bar selection, table design, everything. They were very reasonable, and totally willing to go over things time and again to make sure that it was all just right.

I cannot say enough good things about the food. We served brunch, and everything was beyond delicious. People have been complimenting me on the food ever since the wedding. Some of the best food they've ever had at a wedding. I would absolutely recommend the apple smoke bacon. I know bacon doesn't sound like a fancy wedding treat, but seriously, it was the best bacon I've ever had in my life!

And the setting was just so beautiful. It looked like something out of a fairy tale. It was perfect for our morning wedding, as the sun was just coming through the leaves as the ceremony began. Several people inquired about how to book the Abernethy Center for themselves. It is seriously one of the most beautiful wedding venues in the Portland area. I cannot recommend them enough!

From the very beginning of the planning phases of our wedding, Elisabeth was always ready to answer our ten thousand questions, and handle any and all inevitable hiccups we ran into during the weeks before our event.

From the moment we arrived at the venue on our Magical Day, Amy and the rest of the event staff were able to walk that very fine line of always being where they needed to be, while simultaneously never being in the way. The preparation, the professionalism, and the way they always managed to keep things calm and fun, are just a few of the reasons that the Abernethy Center and it’s staff will always be the first place I suggest when anyone is looking for an event venue.

I got married 6 months ago at the Abernethy Center in Abigail's Garden. My Event Specialist was Laura and she was absolutely the best to work with through the whole wedding planning process and it definitely was the best day of my life! Laura is the most nicest person and definitely reassures you that your wedding day will be great and I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is getting married at the Abernethy Center. On my wedding day my wedding officiant was 45 minutes late and my day of coordinator Amy, made me feel at ease and not to worry that everything would be ok. Amy had the caterers serve my guests appetizers and wine before the ceremony while we waited on the wedding officiant and after the wedding my guests told me how well that all worked out and I was so happy everyone was pleased and I can't thank the Abernethy Center enough for making those changes to make my guests happy while we waited on the wedding officiant. Overall having my wedding at the Abernethy Center was a great decision and I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone!!!

I have nothing negative to say about the Abernethy Center. Not going to lie, it's not cheap, but it was worth every penny. I really appreciated the military discount. I started working with Laura from the day we booked the venue to the week of the wedding (over a year time frame) and she was the absolute best. I probably asked her literally a thousand questions and e-mailed her a bunch but she was always patient with me and always got back to me. At the rehearsal and the day of the wedding, we worked with Amy who was also super Awesome :] Her and my coordinator worked very well together. The chapel and the ballroom were extremely beautiful and elegant. The staff, every single person, the coat check, servers, etc, were all polite, professional, just excellent all around. The food was AMAZING. It's like the kind of food you get at 5 star restaurants. I got the "silver birch" table runners that looked amazing with my winter theme. The lighting was perfect. It was nice that they had a projector and screen built into the ceiling, one less thing to worry about. They made sure everything flowed smoothly and went according to the timeline. I don't know what else to say, everything was just perfect.

We had our wedding at Abernethy Center, and I could not be more pleased. The site is gorgeous and they have everything you could want for a spectacular day. Want a gorgeous garden? They've got two. A quaint Chapel? Check. An elegant ballroom? Got it. An amazing venue that people are still talking about? Abernethy Center is the place!
We wanted an elegant and sophisticated wedding, and the various settings with the Chapel ceremony, cocktail hour in the Veiled Garden, and dinner and dancing in the Ballroom gave us exactly what we wanted.

Here are my top 10 favorite things:

10. The Chapel -- from the front with the picture-perfect steps and steeple to the backdrop of the gorgeous trees behind the windows of the Chapel.

9. The Chapel bell ringing at the end of the ceremony.

8. The lush garden setting which gave a gorgeous variety of settings for our photographs and then a perfect setting for our cocktail party.

7. The elegant ballroom with marble entry, expandability, and great dance floor.

6. The food.
5. The food.
4. The food. I'm not just using up numbers here; it's really that good. All of our guests are still raving about it. It was "the quality you'd expect at a top-notch restaurant, not a wedding venue" was what we've heard said many times.

3. The extraordinary level of service. They were top-notch in all aspects throughout the planning process and the wedding.

2. The staff. Every member of the staff was fantastic. From the planning to the rehearsal to the ceremony to the party, every member of the staff that we interacted with was extraordinarily professional and helpful.

And #1:
Our wedding! No one had a better time that day than me, the bride. I don't know how many people can say that, or that they truly enjoyed every aspect of planning and working with their vendors, or that they can't find anything that they would want to change on the wedding day. I count myself very lucky to be able to say all those things, and it's because of Abernethy Center.

Abernethy and the staff were beyond amazing. From the pre planning with Laura to the day of coordination with Amy everything was flawless. Laura made the planning portion so fun and easy to follow. She was always prompt with her responses and quick to answer any questions we had. Amy was on point with the day of coordination and made everything flow so smoothly with absolutely no hiccups! Our guests raved about the food, service, and overall ambiance in Abigail’s garden. I highly recommend any future couples to Abernethy Center!

I couldn't have imagined my wedding any other place. They gave us all our dreams!

Elizabeth was the best event specialist a bride could ask for! She was very responsive, kind and patient (despite the barrage of last minute emails I sent her about the wedding details)! She made sure our priorities were achieved within the budget we had set and the food and setting were fantastic. Everything about our wedding at Abernethy Center's Veiled Garden and Ballroom went exactly as I dreamed. The staff was extremely professional, met all our expectations and provided us a day we'll never forget! It was especially meaningful to be married in the garden where my fiancé proposed one year ago. Abernethy Center will always have a special place in our lives and I would highly recommend future brides have their special day here, too.

I had my wedding at the Abernethy Center in Abigail's Garden this June, and could not have been happier! The venue was GORGEOUS, and I knew right away it was perfect. Everything from the bride's and groom's suites, to the ceremony site, to the reception tent was beautiful and well thought out. The food was incredible, and they even send some home with us to enjoy later. The best part of our whole experience though, was working with the staff at the Abernethy Center. Laura and the whole team were so helpful, professional, friendly and easy to work with that I couldn't imagine getting married without them. I could not be happier with our experience at the Abernethy Center and would highly recommend them to anyone!

From the day we first met with the AC team until the moment we left Abigail's Garden at 11:00 pm the evening of our wedding, they have been nothing but exceptional in the quality of the services they provided for our daughter's wedding. Abigail's Garden is a magical place that is perfect for a garden wedding. The grounds are not only impeccable, but you and your guests feel that you are miles away from the hectic city.
Our plated dinner was delicious and we were so grateful that they were willing to adapt to our menu requests. All of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the appetizers, dinner and wine services. The wait staff were friendly, efficient and accommodating. Our courses all arrived in a timely manner and at the correct temperatures.
Our wedding coordinator, Laura was always there to answer questions and to guide us with our decisions for this important day. All calls or emails were answered promptly and and with such a helpful attitude. Our day of coordinator was also excellent. There was great communication between both coordinators, so all of our wishes were seen too.
The bridal dressing room was gorgeous. The temperature in the room was perfectly set to a cool setting. One of our bridesmaids couldn't find an earring back and the AC staff searched until they found one for her. This is what you call excellent and caring service! The grooms room was comfortable and had all the preselected beverages that we had requested. Both room's had a tray of appetizers to enjoy prior to the service.
I would highly recommend any of the venues at the AC for your upcoming wedding. I can't imagine a more perfect place!

Our daughter had her wedding in the Chapel and the reception in the ballroom. The Abernethy staff were very helpful and attentive to anything that my daughter and fiance needed throughout the entire day. The food was amazing the venue beautiful. The event was a complete success, starting with Alyssa (event specialist) who brought this altogether with our wishes and wants, with our event coordinator on the day of the event Christina, she kept all of us in line and on a good timeline for the big event. The timing was so important because most of the day the bridal party did not realize what time it was as we were getting ready. Having someone help you along was perfect.
The Abernethy staff in the ballroom made the event very special with the plated food for the bride and groom and any items that they may need. They made sure that all guests were safe and happy.
Perfect venue for the big day.

Amazing! They helped me through all of questions and made the day run perfectly smooth! The chapel is the best place to get married during the cold season and made for an amazing day.

The Abernethy Center is AMAZING! I found them online and fell in LOVE with the Veiled Garden! After seeing it in person, I knew this was to be the setting of the exchanging of our vows and the start of our new life together. From beginning to end, their staff was incredible! Gently guiding me through all of the decision making-never pushing any services on me. We added a LOT of our own touches and had several vendors working throughout the evening and everything came together PERFECTLY! I love that they offer so many options to customize your special day! From the beautiful chiavari chairs and sashes, to the ivory shantung linens, the edible hibiscus flowers in our toasting flutes to the chocolate fountain-the list continues! AND THE FOOD!!! Everyone is still RAVING about the food! It was truly delectable! Having our wedding and reception at Abernethy was a dream come true! I highly recommend The Abernethy Center!

The Abernethy Center is absolutely amazing. My guests couldn't stop talking about how wonderful the venue and reception area were. My Wedding was set in Abigail's Garden. From the rehearsal to the hours leading up the Wedding the Abernethy Staff was amazing and always one step ahead.

The food was so good. Everything was fresh, well prepared, and hot.

I HIGHLY recommend this venue!

I am so glad that DH and I had our wedding at Abernethy Center. It really was a beautiful day. I was a bit worried about not staying on schedule but it all worked out so well. Throughout our planning process, we worked with Alyssa and she did a great job. On top of everything, we even had a beautiful sunny day at the end of September!

The Abernethy Center was such a beautiful place to get married. We had our ceremony at Abigail's garden and then immediately followed it with the reception in the big white tent behind it. Everyone was helpful: servers were fast and responsive, the day-of coordinator was friendly and responsible, and the food was fantastic!

If I could start all the planning over again, I would NOT change my venue. The Abernethy Center is AMAZING! We chose Abigail's Garden and it was absolutely beautiful, the service is incredible. Everyone that works there is extremely friendly, kind, understanding...everything you would want in service. You do have to use their caterer, but it was so worth it. I heard more about how delicious the food was than anything else!
Pay the money, never regret it!

Everyone at the Abernethy Center, from the event coordinator down to the servers, was a joy to work with. I could not have planned my own wedding without them stepping in and taking care of the details, and I'm so grateful that on my wedding day, I didn't have to worry about a thing.

If we designed our own venue, nothing would be different from what Abernethy's Abigail Garden is ... everything was exactly as we envisioned the perfect outdoor wedding site to be! Laura was fabulous to work with leading up to the wedding, Ashley was a great event coordinator for the rehearsal and wedding, and all wait staff were too. We chose the daffodil package with hors deuvres of: fruit plate, cheese platter, firefly tarts and mushroom/fontina pastries ... all were delicious and plenty of it. I give this an unreserved thumbs up.

The Abernethy Center was absolutely beautiful! The staff was more helpful than I could have imagined. The day we booked the venue they were always available to answer questions. They also do their own catering and the food was phenomenal! I have a lot of food allergies and they were very accommodating. Our wedding was perfect, much of the credit is due to the stunning Abernethy Center and their wonderful staff!

The Abernethy Center is wonderful! When our original venue lost their lease 3 months before our wedding, I called the Abernethy Center hoping they could help. They offered us their chapel (beautiful!) and made sure that we had everything we needed to make our wedding day perfect. Laura took care of every detail of our wedding (including many things that I didn't even consider) and was quick to respond to any question that we had during the planning process. She was friendly, caring, and a pleasure to work with. On our big day, the team of Abernethy Center staff that we had were fabulous! Ashley attended to our every need and request and she, as well as the rest of the staff, were so friendly! Thanks to them my husband and I were able to enjoy our wedding with very little stress and no worries! It was the perfect day, just as they had intended!

We were married in Abigail's Garden at Abernethy Center on September 17th, 2011 and it was everything we could have hoped for our wedding day. From the first tour, to booking and planning Alyssa and the rest of the staff have been extremely helpful and accomodating. We had been planning for an outdoor ceremony at the gazebo, but it rained the day of the wedding. Abernethy's ceremony staff was quick to respond and adjusted the reception tent for the ceremony and then back again. They even provided my guests with umbrellas. The bridal suite was awesome, btw. All in all we were very pleased with Abernethy and it's staff.

Everything ran perfectly at the wedding, I felt absolutely no stress!! The service was excellent, could not have been happier with my choice. I felt confident that the event coordinator and everyone helping knew exactly what they were doing, beyond my expectations. Another bonus is the dj I had, Rose City DJ's, had DJ'd there so much that he knew the staff very well and helped run the show too. Between him and the Abernethy staff, it made my day peaceful and fun.

I got married in the Abigail's Garden and it was the best day of my life. The staff were amazing and accommodating and extremely helpful. Jill was our day of coordinator and she made sure things were going smoothly and kept in touch with me throughout the day to let me know what was going on. Christina was my sales coordinator and I can't say enough good things about her! She was always positive and smiling when I saw her. She was very flexible while I couldn't make up my mind lol. She was seriously the best and I'm so glad we got her. The rest of the staff are extremely nice and helpful. They really strive to make your day the best day of your life. I will be recommending The Abernethy Center to other brides who are looking for a wedding venue.

I LOVED my outdoor ceremony! It was sooooo beautiful and perfect! I had dreams about my wedding but they didn't compare to how beautiful the day turned out to be. And the staff were all great and very nice.

I had a morning wedding and I had to be up very early to be ready by 8 and I didn't have time/forgot to eat so I started feeling a little sick so the coordinators brought me a good assortments of snacks and water to help my tummy before starting.

There was only one thing that didn't go so smoothly, the timeline. It was all fine but there was time when I felt things should move along quicker than they were because guests were getting restless (during reception) and when we planned out the reception, Rachelle told us during the slideshow coordinators would just move out chairs out in front so we would be able to watch too but once that happened during the reception, the coordinators were a little confused by it and wanted to move out table and I just thought that they would already know to just move the chairs rather than me telling them. It wasn't a big deal or anything just a little confusing.

My total experience was great and I would do it all over again. And the food was wonderful! All my guests loved the brunch, especially the omelettes!

Everyone I worked with at the Abernethy Center was great. Rachelle helped in the planning, and Kathie with the execution, and both are fantastic at their jobs. We used the Veiled Garden and the Ballroom. Both are beautiful. I would definitely recommend them to my friends!

Elizabeth at the Abernethy Center was great to work with! She was always extremely helpful and flexible, especially since we were planning our wedding from a distance! Our reception was held in Abigail's Garden, which was an absolutely beautiful atmosphere. The food is excellent and the staff is very helpful and kind! They were great with all of the little kids running around as well as with filling all of our unique requests! Give them a shot if you are looking for somewhere to hold a great party!

I found the Abernethy Center years ago online and fell in love with it! When I got engaged it was the first place I thought of to go look...and I was not disappointed! They made one of the most important days/nights of my life absolutely magical...I have been to many other venues in the Portland Metro area and The Abernethy Center truly was the best choice I could have ever made!...If you choose the Abernethy Center don't be afraid to brain storm new and innovative ideas with the staff they are open and willing to work with you to make your special day all that you want it to be!

Each individual of their staff was very friendly, helpful & outgoing. From the first day we walked in the door to the night we left the reception the service was exceptional and beyond comparison. The energy in the entire space is positive. They have a huge selection from food & beverage to linens & ideas. The aesthetics of the venue are beyond belief. Other gardens are not as clean or well kept & for the price you get more than expected. I would recommend this venue to anyone for a wedding, banquet or other special event for its beauty & service which are beyond comparison to others in the area.

The Abernathy Center was absolutly wonderful, so wonderful, that 2 of my friends booked a wedding through them.
Our personal DJ didn't show up, and they said, "No problem, we will make sure your songs are here in time." And that is what happend, our music was there without a hitch.
Our wedding coordinator, Elizabeth,was amazing. She explained everything I needed to know, and took care of EVERYTHING! She was ontop of everything; nothing on our wedding day fell through the cracks.
Their food was amazing, the staff were so wonderful, and they truely made everyone welcome. There was no pressure to leave, but just to relax and have an amazing time.
I would do it again in a heart beat!! Everyone should get married at the Abernathy Center. Everyone who was invited to our wedding still talk about how wonderful our wedding was....Thank you Abernathy!!

Abernethy Center was fantastic to work with! At first I thought it was a lot of money, but for what they provide, it really is worth it. You don't have to worry about any kind of rental fee, etc, everything is all included. We worked a lot with Allison and she was very helpful in answering any questions we had. They were very accommodating and flexible to work with. And the food? Well, pretty much amazing. We still have guests a year later that tell us how amazing the food at our wedding was. The garden that our ceremony took place in was beautiful and the ballroom extremely elegant. Would definitely recommend them to anyone!

The Abernethy Center is the BEST!! We planned our wedding from out of state and we needed a venue that we could trust. Our wedding was flawless. Elizabeth made sure everything went off without a hitch. The venue is so pretty and PERFECT for a wedding. The food was great! Our family loved it and so did we. We highly recommend the Abernethy Center.
