Geneva was THE BEST wedding planner!!! Our wedding developed into something I never could have done…read moreon my own in such a short amount of time. We chose an elopement with just my husband and me and our three boys but we still wanted all of the elements a standard wedding! Geneva pulled everything together so perfectly! From the outdoor, waterfront venue to the vintage themed bouquet to the perfect pastor and the photographer... plus ALL the little details in between that I never would have thought of. And it all fit within our budget!!!! She had everything run seamless and smooth and put personal touches on everything. This was no cookie cutter elopement and you could tell she puts every ounce of herself into each event to make it special, whether big or small. Thank you SO MUCH Geneva, we will forever use you to plan events and will recommend you to every person we meet!

I recently stayed at the Abilena Mansion for a friend's wedding and appreciated how inclusive the…read moreproperty is. The mansion sleeps 14 people with 7 queen beds, but we were able to accommodate more by using the spacious couch in one of the bedrooms and sleeping 3 to a bed another night. It was so nice to have the entire wedding party stay in one place. We had the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception on property, and there was enough lawn parking for all guests. The ceremony space is outside overlooking a peaceful lake that beautifully compliments the sunset. We used the dock for wedding party photos and as a place to hang out and chat on our fist night (tip: bring bug spray). The reception area is also outside but completely covered and with optional side shading. Both areas are the perfect size for small-to-medium size weddings. A big con, should it affect you and your guests: the mansion and grounds are not wheelchair accessible. There are quite a number of steps to get to the ceremony area with no alternative route. Guests who cannot walk or climb steps may not be able to view the ceremony next to everyone else. I also did not notice a ramp leading inside the mansion. We joked that the kitchen has everything you don't need. They have like 3 cheese graters and 50 wine glasses, but no Pam, scissors, or a wine/beer bottle opener. The owners probably don't stock the place with these essential items because guests could easily steal them, so please, for your own good: BRING A WINE BOTTLE OPENER. The kitchen has two refrigerators--enough room to hold 5 bags of ice in each freezer. The mansion also has a washer and dryer and plenty of clean towels. And a piano! And a pool. And tons of room to work on wedding decor projects. Basically this place has almost everything you could want in a wedding location. The owners are available via phone at almost any time and are quick to reply. The husband and wife duo visited every day to clean up, check-in, and help with ceremony set-up. My biggest complaint with the Abilena Mansion is the wi-fi. It worked for about 30 minutes when I first connected and then died for the rest of my multi-day stay. No one's phone could successfully connect to the wi-fi even though it appeared available. This is a huge downside for a place that's supposed to service large groups of people who want to stream music, look up information, post on social media, and activate other celebration-related things.

We just attended a Wedding here and it was beautiful. The backdrop of the water for the ceremony…read morewas perfect. It was about 98 or so degrees out but with all of the shade and the breeze it was tolerable. We ate outdoors under a kind of covered porch with great views of the water and sunset. Parking was easy and they had a golf cart shuttle service to and from the ceremony site. We walked through the house (the bridal portraits we in one of the side rooms) it was a charming older home with early 1900s finishings. To get 5 stars, we would need it to be a bit easier to navigate, there were a lot of large stairs that were hard for those wearing heels. I don't know how much control over the event the owners have but it was a bit confusing knowing where to go and when, maybe bigger signage would help. Overall it was a lovely outdoor venue.

The hor doerves not only flowed but continued to be refilled all evening from start to finish at the end of the night. Platters of fruit, cheeses, crackers and more served all of us throughout the evening. Mouth watering beef and delicious chicken, fabulous mashed potatoes and carrots that were wonderful. I cleaned my plate and I NEVER eat like that. My food allergy to onions was not only watched carefully but none of the food served had any onions at all! Bravo to the entire staff especially Ms Garner who worked with us when my husband called as this is the only caterer to consider when I'm the area. Thank you from all of us!! A+++
