DETAILS

• The Abbey is a historic church wedding venue located in the Salisbury Historic District, thoughtfully reimagined in California Spanish Mission style. With soaring ceilings, arched architecture, and warm, light-filled interiors, the space offers a setting that feels both grand and intimate - timeless, meaningful, and effortlessly refined.

• The Sanctuary

  The Sanctuary is the architectural heart of The Abbey, where historic craftsmanship and timeless elegance come together seamlessly. Framed by soaring ceilings, mottled glass windows, and original wooden pews, the space carries a quiet grandeur that feels both sacred and intimate. Preserved architectural details remain beautifully intact, creating a ceremony setting that is effortlessly romantic, deeply meaningful, and profoundly memorable - no transformation required.

• The Gallery

  The Gallery blends historic architecture with modern design in a loft-style reception setting that feels both elevated and inviting. Exposed beams and crystal chandeliers bring warmth and drama overhead, while dark-stained wood tables and acrylic ghost chairs create a refined contrast of old and new. Just beyond the main space, a covered patio strung in glowing market lights offers the perfect setting for appetizers, cocktails, and outdoor mingling during cocktail hour or throughout the reception. Together, the indoor and outdoor spaces create a celebration that feels dynamic, sophisticated, and effortlessly seamless.

• The Annex

  The Annex is an intimate event space designed for micro weddings, rehearsal dinners, and thoughtfully scaled celebrations. Soft draping, acrylic ghost chairs, and warm market lighting create a refined yet welcoming ambiance. The result is a space that feels curated, connected, and perfectly suited for meaningful gatherings.

• The Rectory

  Originally the church’s historic priest’s residence, The Rectory has been thoughtfully renovated into an elegant bridal suite and overnight retreat for up to 12 guests. With six curated bedrooms and preserved architectural charm, the home offers a private, comfortable space to prepare, gather, and extend the celebration beyond the wedding day itself.

• Get-Ready Suites

  The Abbey offers thoughtfully designed preparation spaces that allow both sides of the wedding party to settle in comfortably before the celebration begins. The Groom’s Suite, located within the main church building, provides a relaxed setting complete with comfortable seating and a kitchenette - ideal for getting dressed, gathering, and unwinding before the ceremony.
  
  The Bride’s Suite, located in The Rectory, offers a spacious and private retreat. With a full living area, dedicated makeup stations, a residential kitchen, and private bathrooms, the space is designed for a calm, seamless start to the day. Together, these preparation areas ensure a cohesive experience from the first quiet moments to the walk down the aisle.
