Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Immerse yourself in the beauty and sophistication of this idyllic event venue, which boasts four stunning indoor & outdoor spaces, luxurious getting ready suites, an experienced events team, gourmet in-house cuisine, and abundant amenities.
- Natural landscaping and a calming waterfall combine to create a magical "secret garden" feel for your ceremony in the tranquil Veiled Garden. Or, opt for the classic white Abernathy Chapel, where 30-foot ceilings and expansive windows flood the space with natural light. After the "I do"s, ring the historic wedding bell to celebrate the moment!
- Exquisite receptions are held in the Abernethy Ballroom, which exudes contemporary glamour thanks to its sparkling crystal chandeliers and modern wood floors. For a fully al fresco celebration, Abigail's Garden is ideal: exchange vows beneath a majestic willow tree, then dine and dance beneath a breezy tent illuminated by romantic bistro lights.
