Stunning and Perfect!
Our wedding day was perfect and there are so many reasons why. Having the entire thing with Abernethy made everything so easy! Karissa helped us from the start and made sure everything was as needed. The day ran perfectly! The venues are perfect and the food was AMAZING. Get yourself some strawberry firefly tarts.
Amazing Venue!
As a wedding DJ company with years of experience at Abernethy Center, we cannot speak highly enough about this venue and the incredible team behind it! We’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Abernethy for many events, and every single one has been a smooth, seamless, and truly enjoyable experience. From the moment we arrive, we are always greeted with professionalism and warmth. The staff is not only friendly, but they are also highly organized and go above and beyond to ensure that everything runs on time. Whether it’s coordinating timelines with us, assisting with any last-minute requests, or making sure the couple’s vision is brought to life, Abernethy’s team consistently exceeds expectations. The venue itself is simply stunning. The outdoor ceremony spaces, lush gardens, and beautifully designed reception areas provide a perfect backdrop for any wedding. It’s clear that the venue is well-maintained and thoughtfully designed with both guests and vendors in mind. But what truly sets Abernethy apart is their dedication to creating a positive, collaborative atmosphere for all of the wedding vendors. Working with them is always a pleasure because they genuinely care about making every event the best it can be. Their attention to detail and willingness to work together with vendors (like us!) ensures that the entire wedding experience is smooth and stress-free for everyone involved. We absolutely love working with Abernethy Center, and it’s clear why so many couples choose this incredible venue for their big day. We can’t recommend them highly enough and look forward to many more years of collaboration! — Paradox Productions Wedding DJs
Wonderful Wedding
The team at Abernethy Center was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was always prompt, clear, and friendly, putting us at ease throughout the wedding planning process. The venue itself is beautiful, accessible, and modern - the perfect backdrop for our special day. When the weather didn't cooperate and we needed to pivot from an outdoor to indoor ceremony, the staff was quick to adjust and ensure everything ran smoothly. Our guests raved about the delicious food and drinks, and we were grateful for the attentive service that allowed us to fully enjoy the reception. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and would highly recommend Abernethy Center to any couple planning their wedding.
