A summary of some of the stunning features at The Abbey:
Visually, the venue is stunning. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how great it looked. One of our favourite parts of the venue was that we got multiple aesthetics in one place. With the rustic, distressed vibe of the Chapel, paired with the bold, maximalist design elements from the reception area and ball room, it was the best of both worlds. We saved so much money on flowers because we loved the gorgeous on-site arrangements, and we even opted to use the same florist for our bouquets since we loved the flowers at The Abbey so much.
The food was next level. Multiple guests said it was the best meal they've ever had at a wedding, especially the vegetarians. One guest said it was the best dessert he'd had in his entire life!
The staff are warm, friendly and incredibly attentive and thoughful. They are complete pros. Arizbeth, Jamie and the whole team were always on top of everything and worked so hard to make sure everything went smoothly, during the planning process and on the day itself.
