Abbington Distinctive Banquets

to the Abbington! We felt like royalty the whole day and even with planning we felt like Tara was very thorough and also has great advice. We wish we can do it all over again. Thank you for an unforgettable day!

venues that responded promptly and professionally to our initial inquiry. With just a nine-month planning timeline, having a reliable and responsive venue team made all the difference. Monica, our main point of contact, was exceptional from start to finish. She answered every question clearly, professionally, and in a timely manner. Her communication gave us such peace of mind throughout the process, something that’s truly invaluable when you’re planning one of the most important days of your life! Booking our tour was easy and completely stress-free. When we first toured the venue, we immediately fell in love. The elegant chandeliers, gold chairs, and fresh carpeting made the space stunning on its own, perfectly fitting our modern, timeless, and minimalist vision without needing excessive décor. The large, clean, and beautifully maintained restrooms were another pleasant surprise. We held our ceremony on the grand staircase and our reception in the ballroom, and both spaces were absolutely perfect. Packages and pricing were presented openly and transparently, which we really appreciated. On the day of our wedding, every staff member we encountered went above and beyond to ensure our day was flawless. Monica and our room captain were especially amazing; calm, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went smoothly. Whenever nerves started to kick in, Monica was right there to keep things on track. The day flowed perfectly, even better than we could have imagined. The food was another highlight! Our tasting months prior was wonderful, but the chef somehow exceeded expectations on the actual day, our guests couldn’t stop raving about the meal. Plus, all our other vendors were familiar with Abbington, which made coordination effortless and stress-free. We can’t recommend Abbington Distinctive Banquets highly enough! They made our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. We’re already looking forward to celebrating future milestones here, maybe an anniversary party down the road!

taken care of and always answered any and all questions we had. Our guest loved The Abbington said how beautiful it is, how good all the food was! The taco bar and the smores was a hit at our wedding!!! Thanks to Tara for her recommendation. Our night was beautiful and can't thank Tara and all the staff at The Abbington.

- all quests loved it! Thank you Abbington!!!

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.

e and beyond- we love her!! She accommodated our every ask and was so great to work with. Everything from the initial email to the last song of the night- the staff did an amazing job. The food was excellent and we are still hearing feedback from our friends and family about how awesome the wedding was! Thank you Kathy and the rest of the Abbington banquet

ith! 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! This was the first place I was interested in while scrolling through The Knot because of its beautiful appearance, but the staff helped this venue go above and beyond my expectations! Thank you Abbington for helping us have the best day EVER!

ss-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. We were even able to make arrangments such as a square family table in front of the head table, and we were given access to the bridal rooms and private bathroom as well, which was helpful. Their list of recommended vendors also helped make floral arrangements and cake planning a breeze! 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. My husband and I couldn't be happier with our decision to have our wedding here. I really can't recommend this place enough! If you're looking to book a wedding or any other party, this is the best place to do it!

s 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!!!
