I had my daughters wedding receptions here in January of 2026 and Kathryn was awful. She told me…read moreshe would have a day-of coordinator there on the wedding day, but all she did was ring a bell for the reception to start after cocktail hour. Then she sat in the house the entire time we were in the barn for the reception, she said it was the law that she not leave the house because we had gifts in there. I would have gladly put those 2 cards in my car so should could come to the barn instead of me going to the house every time I needed something. The two girls she had in the party barn had no idea what was going on or where anything was, which was why I had to keep going to the house. The bartender couldn't leave the bar all night. She needed things but didn't have any way to communicate with anyone. I was so disappointed in the entire experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone. They will tell you you can get 200 people in that barn, we have 100 and with any dancing going on it is tight. And good luck if it rains. And The Knot keeps deleting my review, which is concerning.

They helped us plan, set-up and manage the event itself. So many venues make you do everything yourself so the Abbey was so great for us who were planning the event from out of town.

Notice previous reviews are older... My son recently had his wedding at Firefly Gardens which has…read moreapparently gone through a recent ownership change. Although the venue is relatively nice, our overall experience was poor and the staff were not helpful at all. Where to start... They asked us to have all of the beverages and alcohol there at 12 so the bartenders can prep and get set up. They didn't show up until 4 so all the beer was hot and we were there unnecessarily early. I also had several complaints the bartender was rude and they shutdown the bar without a last call or warning. The pool we were supposed to be able to use was full of algae. Nope! The chairs were set up for 250 people, we needed 140 and there was no aisle to separate the grooms and brides guests. When we requested the change, we were told we would have to do it and put the chairs back at the end of the night or be charged $1000. No soap in the bride's bathroom, flowers were dead at the pavilion, and be prepared to bring everything... If its not a table or chair you better have it because they don't. On a day like that, the devil is in the details and the details were lacking. Could have been a much better experience.

I am appalled by the practices of this venue. After working…read moreon the wedding industry for 21 years I have never run into a venue who has attendants barging into the bridal sweet to rush everyone! We had 9 people to style full hair and makeup for a 5:30 ready time yet they wouldn't allow us into the venue until 1pm.... Even if we rushed that is an impossible task and left everyone in the room panicking and rushing. The joy of the big day was ruined by their poor and unprofessional timing for this wedding party. Set up should have been at least halfway don't the night before and whoever needed to sleep in should have been up and letting us all in that morning. I've needed venues open by 6-8am many times and they make it work. They don't book the party, set impossible timing goals and not allow the party to be in until mid afternoon! They didn't even allow time for touchups. I hope I never have to work this venue again unless they start thinking about their guests and make their expectations more reasonable to my sweet brides can be relaxed, comfortable and happy.

Ric has a great menu to choose from, and is also willing to adjust recipes to your own preferences. He can do the timeless favorites and he can also prepare something completely new and different - it's all delicious. His smoked meat and salmon are melt-in-your-mouth wonderful. He arrives early for prep, has the food ready on time, and cleans up completely - you'll never know he was there except for the delicious leftovers in your refrigerator. I highly recommend Unkle Rics!

David and his wife were excellent host, very informative and fun to be around, not to mentions the other couples in attendance.

We can't wait for them to get another on the schedule so we can learn more new techniques to use at home and eat some more chef guided food. Thanks again!

Everything I rented from the venue was set up & ready to go the morning of my Wedding (stress free). They gave me a list of vendors for ideas. I ended using the bartender & security they had offered. The owners are absolutely amazing. They answered any questions I had at a timely manner, they let me change things constantly (I think I was changing things at rehearsal), they were there on wedding day for any help I needed. They are GREAT people. Kelsie (rental coordinator) is absolutely wonderful too. She helped & helped come up with ideas. She met us at there storage unit any time I asked. She let me add things and take off things without getting frustrate. She went with the flow and that was perfect for me. IF YOU PLAN ON BOOKING THIS VENUE DO IT WITHOUT ANY QUESTION. I had the wedding of my dreams here & I will recommend them to anyone & everyone!!!

Unfortunately the decor manager was frustratingly disorganized. But the rest of the staff was world class and fell all over themselves to be helpful. I can't think of a more perfect place to have a wedding.
