    An absolutely enchanting space with fountains, arches and stained glass at the edge of the forest. So much attention to making the smallest details feel luxurious and inviting, the owners, Chris and Sissy Hart are warm and welcoming making your event memorable. The Abbey is bright and airy for professional lunches, meetings and deeply dramatic and romantic for your evening event. Style your elegant wedding under tall arches or have a picnic by the forest, you will love how easy it is to plan your event here! The beer is delicious, the staff is amazing and hospitality is still the rage here. 5 Stars!!!!!

  • Great space, great beer, and a fantastic location!

    I'm the owner of MasterPiece Weddings and Events. We held our networking mixer event at The Abbey recently and it was amazing! It's a beautiful venue in a really convenient location with lots of parking. It was such a fun vibe and perfect for our needs. The staff was fantastic to work with and their beer and drink options were delicious! We got tons of amazing feedback from the vendors that attended. We can't wait to work with their team again! Highly recommend The Abbey!

  • Amazing venue!!!

    We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at the Abbey, and we had the BEST experience! The venue is beautiful with so much attention to detail. The owners went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfectly. They made communication and coordinating very easy. We loved being able to choose which beers (and ciders!) were on tap during our event. Our guests really loved each beverage they tried! I would absolutely recommend booking the Abbey for any event needs!
