“When my original venue called 4 months out and said their chapel had issues, and I couldn't get married there, I was TERRIFIED! As a very type A bride, I was so scared I wouldn't be able to find a place that could match my vision. I got on the phone with Kristina at the Abbey, and she quickly put my mind at ease! I call her an angel because that is truly what she was throughout the entire process!!! She ended up being our coordinator, and the entire team made our day PERFECT! The getting-ready spaces are stunning, the acoustics in the chapel are unmatched, and the level of flexibility for using the space, outside caterers, etc. is unlike anything else I've found. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone!!!! I will stop rambling now, but if you're sick of scrolling through venues like I was, look no further than the Abbey! Thank you, Abbey team, for making my dream come true!”
