About The Abbey

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!"

I hosted a music recital at the Abbey and it was such a success! The space is easy to access (some people enjoyed dropping by other nearby shops after!), plenty of parking, and the overall experience felt “high end” and elegant.

The space was set up to accommodate us, was clean, and guests enjoyed access to the Blackadder Brew taps or wine during the event. The bar is beautiful, and the small room adjacent to the bathroom access has comfortable chairs for those needing a quiet moment.
The organization of and communication before the event with the owners was a breeze. They are so professional and kind, and also ready to set up more chairs or help when needed.
This is such a perfect space, I’m trying to decide what I can host next..!
