Love Letters from Our Couples

It was an absolute joy to have our wedding at The 1932 Barn! It could not have gone better and was a fairytale wedding :) the entire venue is beautiful and makes you feel right at home. The staff & team are amazing and so easy and fun to work with! They were on top of EVERYTHING. I couldn’t be happier with her and the whole process and the day of. wedding or event at this magical place!

As cheesy as it sounds... The Abbey truly helped us to achieve the wedding of our dreams. From the beginning, Lori and Michelle were so intentional and responsive, even providing wedding advice outside of venue-based decisions. Day-of, our coordinator Hannah, and her team made everything go so seamlessly. I didn't worry about anything, because they took care of everything. 10/10 for the value they offer, and the way they absolutely make couples feel so loved and cared for on their most important day.

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding venue! Our entire wedding experience here was absolutely wonderful. The staff at the venue were exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure that every detail was flawlessly executed. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to making our day magical were evident at every step of the planning process. They were always responsive to our questions and accommodating to our needs, making the entire experience stress-free. On the day of our wedding, everything flowed seamlessly. Several of our guests have told us it was the best wedding they have attended!

Not only was the venue beautiful, but the owner, Lori, and our project director Michelle, are clearly putting their heart and soul into this place. Unlike other wedding venues we considered, we never felt like just another number. Lori and her team are well organized, and have an amazing eye for detail. They are passionate about what they do, and always go the extra mile to help create the wedding of your dreams. If you are getting married, I highly recommend the Abbey!
