I can't even begin to describe how wonderful this venue and team was to work with and how beautiful Abigail's garden is to get married in. We planned our wedding in 5 months and if...
I had worked with a different venue, my stress levels would've been much higher. Abernethy Center is so organized and runs a well oiled machine that I felt on top of things, organized, and like everything had been thought out. The food they make is delicious - we loved the Mexicali Express, tator tots, and queso. The bar was great too! Their sales team (Karissa specifically) is amazing. I sent her so many emails asking questions and she always had an answer for me and was kind. Their day of coordination package is worth the money - Emilee and Jenny helped me have a stress free day. They set up decor, did the ceremony run through, brought my husband and I water, drinks, and food throughout the night, handed out dance party accessories to guests, and handled vendor communication and logistics. They even packed up a bag of food, desserts, and champagne for us to take to our hotel after the wedding in case we didn't eat enough. Abigail's garden is GORGEOUS - we had so many out of state people fall in love with Oregon because of the beautiful garden flowers, stream, willow tree, and greenery. The reception tent is awesome. We didn't need much decor because the venue is so pretty by itself. Truly I am so grateful for this team and venue. They run a well oiled machine and help you plan for your day so everything goes off without issues. They know what they're doing. We secured our date when they were running a sale, and for what we paid, we definitely got our money's worth.

Katie was our day of coordinator. She was absolute superstar! She was well organized and had an answer for any issue that arose from the moment we got there until we left.
The staff was incredible organized, thoughtful and proficient in setup/teardown and timely and attentive for the duration of the wedding. Food and drinks were fantastic and have gotten nothing but positive reviews from guests.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about the Abernethy Center! From start to finish, our wedding day was perfect, and this venue played such a huge role in making it unforgettable...
.
We chose to have our ceremony in the Veiled Garden, which is nestled in a wooded area creating a magical setting for our vows. The space welcomes guests in as they walk through this beautiful and serene garden and find their seats surrounded by the forested space. It truly felt like we were in a fairytale.
After the ceremony, we moved to the reception hall, which holds up to 300 guests. We had roughly 250 people attending the reception and the space provided plenty of room for the tables and the dance floor.
And let's talk about the food! I have dietary restrictions, and the chef was very accommodating to create a menu that met everyone’s expectations. The salmon and steak were absolutely divine. The salmon was perfectly cooked—flaky and full of flavor, and the steak was juicy, tender, and cooked just the way we wanted. We received so many compliments from our guests about the meal! It was evident that the chefs at Abernethy Center put so much care and attention into every dish. It was delicious and beautifully presented, truly a highlight of our special day.
The staff at the Abernethy Center were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional, making sure everything ran seamlessly. We felt so taken care of throughout the entire event.
We got married at the Abigail's Garden location of the Abernethy Center in August 2024. The venue is absolutely stunning and the staff are wonderful with prompt and concise communi...
cation, but hands down the food was our favorite part this venue. We loved our entrée choices and still have a single frozen pasta leftover from our wedding! We chose the mushroom ravioli (along with the prime rib) and it was the favorite of ours and our guests.
We worked with Karissa, Kassandra, and Josie to plan our dream wedding and they were an absolute joy to work with and made our wedding day go as smoothly as possible. We highly recommend this venue! From start to finish we knew were were in the right and best hands for our perfect dream wedding celebration. Each email and in person meeting was professional and organized, we never left with more questions than we arrived with. My only regret is not adding more time at this venue!
Abernethy center was one of the best choices we made in the wedding planning process! Abigail’s garden is such a gorgeous, timeless and cozy outdoor venue that was beautifully capt...
ured in our photos and hearts! They had packages that made our lives so much easier with included catering and set-up, were always happy to help answer the million questions I peppered them with, and went above and beyond our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious and guests raved about it for days after! We opted to get the day-of coordination to ease our minds, and Josie was absolutely phenomenal and made our wedding seamless. Josie was there to answer questions, help make the space look gorgeous, coordinate with the vendors and allow us to be able to focus on enjoying the day. I can’t imagine not having Josie on the day as she was so incredible.

Planning a wedding from the East Coast was a breeze with the amazing staff here. Our event specialist, Kassandra, fielded all our questions and was the most helpful leading up to our day. Our day of coordinator, Jenny, was absolutely amazing! She took care of all the details, made sure the space looked beautiful, and ensured everything went according to plan. The huge plus of this venue are the on-site amenities. There are getting ready suites for both bridal and grooms parties. Being able to get ready at the venue was a huge benefit and saved time on our busy day.
The venue itself is a hidden gem, beautifully manicured, and tucked down a pathway! The in-house catering, staff, and bartenders were all lovely! We would recommend Abernethy to anyone looking for an outdoor venue!
I cannot recommend the Abernethy Center. The day of coordinator, Josie, was not worth it. She was unhelpful, did not follow directions for where things were supposed to go, and lit...
erally left several dessert trays empty for the whole reception. When I asked her to either fill the dessert trays or take the empty ones back off the table, she ignored me. She made snide and passive aggressive comments to me prior to the wedding. The pictures of the dessert tables definitely did not look great with empty dessert trays. Our friends, family, and several vendors helped make my daughter's wedding beautiful and special, but Abernethy did not.
We LOVED our wedding at the ABERNETHY Center! Karissa our managing coordinator went above and beyond for us planning. We also really appreciated the staff day of wedding at Abernet...
hy and especially our day of coordinator - Jasmin was amazing as well. She leaned in and made our special day go off smoothly. A++ to all at the Abernethy Center!
Amazing. Made our wedding day stress-free. They are organized, friendly and know what they're doing. We recommend adding-on a day-of coordinator. Katie and Josie were great. Calm, ...
friendly, and great energy. Fantastic
Gorgeous venue with super supportive staff. Very well organized allowing a break the day of. Only suggestion is look at clean up timing ahead of time!

d leading up to our day. Overall we really loved our time here at this venue and wouldn’t have chosen it any other way. The day of our wedding, they were really awesome at keeping everyone on track and time. Our food turned out so amazing and there was plenty left over that they let us take it all home!
Abernethy Center is the perfect place to celebrate a wedding. Kassandra was a joy to work with, and the entire process was seamless. The venue is stunningly beautiful, the staff ar...
e wonderful, and they certainly know how to throw weddings. While other reviews had already commented on the food, I was still amazed by just how good it was. The cost was extremely reasonable given the quality of everything, and we found that it was comparable or less expensive than many other lesser venues in the area. I simple cannot recommend this venue highly enough.
The whole Abernethy team was very responsive, helpful and kind. My husband and I were extremely satisfied with the whole process from beginning to end. Such a beautiful venue and t...

Karissa was so helpful throughout my wedding planning. She answered all (I had so many) questions, which was super helpful, especially since I had to plan my whole wedding. The overall venue was beautiful and I highly recommend it to future couples who are getting married in the future!!

They definitely know what they are doing! Abigail’s garden at the Abernethy center was the best decision we ever made!

We had my daughter's wedding in Abigail's Garden and the reception in the tent. The venue was absolutely stunning. So many compliments on the location, how clean everything was, ...
etc. Many said the food was the best wedding food they ever had experienced - kudos to the chef. Our bartender was amazing, and honestly looked out for our best interests. For the most part, our vision was carried out perfectly. The venue worked well with our other vendors. They suggested a great photographer and florist. The getting ready rooms were a hit with both bride and groom. It was so great to have food and beverage all handled in one place. They provided great guidance on how to handle certain things. Looking back, I would suggest doing a rehearsal at the venue - to iron out final details.
I recently had my wedding at Abernethy Center and cannot rave more about this venue. It is absolutely drop dead gorgeous - the grounds are so well kept and stunning. The Abernethy ...
staff is beyond helpful, organized, and professional. They know weddings like the back of their hand and ensure everything is perfect for your wedding day. The things that stood out to me the most were:
1. The beauty of the venue and how well the decor was setup
2. How present I felt all day knowing that Abernethy had taken care of everything for me so that I didn't need to worry at all
3. How well everything flowed - from the ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner, speeches, dances, etc.
4. The food- people told me numerous times that this was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding, and it was!
I truly cannot thank Kassandra & the Abernethy team enough for making our day so special and carefree.
As a wedding planner, I rarely write reviews for venues but I have to acknowledge the work of Abernethy Center for a wedding we did together in September 2022. The entire team went...
above and beyond to accommodate the health and safety boundaries; I deeply appreciated this.
I also really enjoyed working with the team before and on the wedding day; it's very clear they know weddings.
Oh! And the food. INCREDIBLE and also predominantly vegan per the couple's request. Thanks so much, Team Abernethy!
The Abernathy Center went above and beyond expectations to make our day perfect. We are so happy to have gone with them! We chose Abigail’s Garden. Kassandra walked us through the ...

names were on a sign in the parking lot. Karissa was so nice answering all of our questions, offering advice and sent us home with a bottle of champagne. We couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful Abigail's garden was and ended up booking the venue later that day. It was the best decision we could have made! Karissa became our contact for the rest of our experience and she was fantastic! She helped us navigate our way through a pandemic postponement making it easy and alleviating the stress. Abernethy set up a pandemic friendly to-go tasting which was wonderful! Abernethy provided us with an extremely helpful list of preferred vendors. We ended up picking nearly all of our vendors from this list and they were all excellent! As the time for our long awaited wedding drew closer I was absolutely overwhelmed and had hit a wall in planning. I contacted Karissa and told her I needed help. She put me in touch with Abernethy wedding coordinator Kassandra and after one conversation with her I could feel a weight being lifted from my shoulders! I quickly hired her onto our team and I will forever be glad that I did. She helped me through the process and on the day of was an absolute superstar! We dropped off our decor the day before our wedding and when I arrived the day of everything was set up and was absolutely gorgeous! Kassandra guided me through my wedding day calming my nerves and making things happen so that I could just enjoy me day! I am so thankful I had Karissa and Kassandra throughout this process, they took the burden off of me and made our day perfect! Every other member of Abernethy staff I came into contact with were amazing as well. Communication was phenomenal. Every time I called, if Karissa or Kassandra were not there other staff members did everything they could to answer my questions or see that I got a call back asap. Everyone was kind, positive, professional and patient. Thank you Abernethy! Thank you Karissa, Kassandra, Robin, Mandy! I wish I knew everyone's names so that I could thank everyone. I felt supported through every step of the process! Everything was magical!
Just had our wedding here and they were amazing! Never could have asked for a better experience. From Karissa answering all of my last minute frantic bride questions to stormy help...
ing coordinate so much and on the drop of a dime letting us change some things around. They even catered to our dietary needs and gave me my own meal so that I would not get sick! Everyone of my guests loved the food and we did Italian sodas that everyone loved! Thank you again.
We got married on 5/17/22 in Abigail’s Garden! We did a walk through of all the venue sites at the Abernethy Center with Kassandra in August 2021 and we fell in love with all of th...
em! We decided to book Abigail’s Garden and had the chapel as a back up in case of rain. They even gave us a first responder/law enforcement discount; which was amazing! Kassandra was so helpful and patient with us. We had so many questions for her and she was so quick to respond via email. We appreciated that she was transparent in her answers and in her communications in general. After we booked, the Abernethy Center made some changes to their offerings that we were so bummed about, such as no longer offering lawn games or audio equipment, but Kassandra quickly came to the rescue and said she would make sure the lawn games were there for our wedding (and our guests loved them!). On our big day, everything was so smooth, there wasn’t one single issue at any point. Or if there was, it was handled quietly and we didn’t even notice! The Abernethy Center assigned a staff member to us to help with anything throughout our day, and she was the absolute sweetest and most attentive person ever. She continually checked on me and made sure I didn’t need anything, and she made sure our drinks and plates were full during the reception. We can’t say enough about her. The bartender was awesome and interacted with our guests, and even took some photos with their phones. Overall, it was a great experience. We would definitely recommend the Abernethy Center to anyone looking for a beautiful venue close to the Portland metro area.
My husband and I are so thankful we chose Abernethy Center to have our wedding. It’s obviously beautiful. We used the White Chapel and the Grand Ballroom. Both are stunning. The we...

tering team was able to make me a meal that looked the same as everyone else’s, except it was completely safe for me to eat! And it was so delicious. All our guests were impressed with the cleanliness, organization, and professionalism of this venue. Communication with staff was easy and convenient, but it definitely helped to have our own hired wedding coordinator communicate with them on our behalf!
It was okay. Which sucks to have to say about my own wedding because I wanted it to be perfect. The entire planning process was fine, but tell me why after months of sending info s...
uch as ring bearer, flower girls, etc that the day of coordinator didn’t have that information the day of my wedding and had to interrupt a stressful time for me (the bride) while I was about to walk down the aisle. Food was okay. I didn’t even want to finish it. The most frustrating and heartbreaking part was that my wedding was scheduled to be an elopement after changing it over and over again and it was supposed to be outside the church where the building itself was so beautiful I didn’t need to buy more than just table decor. Well, THE DAY OF my wedding they email me to say I should move my reception inside because of how hot it was. Fine, but what I didn’t think about was how I only bought decor to fit the outside and how the walls were so bare and ugly inside the room our reception ended up being in. They even left a huge (outdoor/not sure exactly what for but huge and ugly) sign in the corner of the room that I noticed after my photographer sent my photos back to me. Honestly I’m heartbroken and I try not to think about my wedding because all I can think about is how bad my photos looked because of how empty and sad the room was. I wish they would have done some research on the weather at least the week of so I had some time to make the room look more intentional. It is what it is I guess. It can’t be redone.
Everyone there was extremely helpful. I was 100% stress free as a bride on our wedding day. Do you realize how hard that is?? They made the process super easy and they added little...
touches like sending us home with food and champagne, so we had food the next day! 1,000% would recommend this venue
Abernethy was the best choice my husband and I made! We had a fantastic experience. We got engaged in June 2020 and knew we would have a covid wedding in April 2021. Abernethy made...
a stressful experience (planning a covid wedding) incredibly easy. We truly felt like they were our partner during the process and were committed to giving us the best possible experience. First off, the staff is incredible. Kassandra was very helpful during our planning sessions. She offered insight, quick responses and detailed answers. She was also very flexible with us given we had our ceremony off site and needed some time to set up our centerpieces before the reception started. We were a bit concerned because Kassandra was not there the day of our wedding but the staff that day were just as friendly, kind and helpful, if not more so! With the ever changing covid -19 restrictions we opted for the most conservative and had only 42 guests at the wedding. However, Abernethy was ready and able to assist with any changes needed as the restrictions changed. The day of our wedding was beautiful (somehow 83 degrees on April 17th) and everyone kept telling us how amazing Abigails Garden was. The food was good and served efficiently (we opted for plated meals which was great!) We were concerned about sound volume for dancing given some of the other reviews we read but had no issues with sound. The speakers we rented and DJ booth are right next to the dance floor so the sound was more than enough for dancing and speeches/etc. Our wedding day was so beautiful and the reception timeline ran smoothly. We were even allowed to bring our dog out for a special dance with the guests! We would highly recommend Abernethy to other couples especially during these tumultuous covid times. The strain of covid could not have been easy on Abernethy but you would never know it from their friendly, kind, loving and supportive demeanor. They were truly exceptional.
My husband and I had a change of venue just months before our wedding date, due to COVID-19. We decided to wanted to be outdoors for obvious reasons and so we toured and decided to...
go with Abigail's Garden at Abernethy Center. Kassandra helped us along the way and was so wonderful. She was incredibly responsive and fun to work with. Both my husband and I agree that our wedding day went better than we ever could've imagined and this was in large part due to Kassandra, the GORGEOUS venue and the support team on site that day. Jenny helped on the day of and we only have the most amazing things to say about her! Our family members and guests still rave about her as well. She made sure everyone was happy from the moment we arrived on site. I highly recommend Abernethy. They ensured COVID-19 precautions were taken every step of the way which was greatly appreciated by us and our guests and made for a wonderful, safe event.

lexible and organized. Our wedding was a perfect and magical day. The people who work here sincerely want you to have a wonderful experience. Kassandra was an amazing on-the-day coordinator. She literally didn't need to worry about a thing the day of. It is a beautiful venue with talented staff. This was the first and only venue I looked at because I was impressed from the beginning. I truly felt like a princess on my big day and all our guests were impressed with the venue and staff. They said it was one of the best weddings they have been to despite COVID. You cannot go wrong with choosing this venue. We highly recommend it. We only wish that the day lasted longer. It happens so fast so bask at the moment!

om. We had an excellent experience with our wedding at Abernethy. The staff was very helpful and it was such a beautiful venue, with little need for decorating in the chapel and ballroom.
Abernethy Center was already my dream venue before I was ever engaged. I had been at the venue for a friend’s wedding years before, and knew it was the same place that one day I wo...
uld join my life together with the man of my dreams. Once I saw a site fee discount on Facebook, it was on. I immediately scheduled a tour and booked Abernethy Center.
My now husband and I loved the beauty and traditional look of their chapel or the “little white church”! As non-religious individuals, it was perfection. All the feel without the adherence to strict religious rules that wouldn’t apply to us. Our best friend was even our officiant. Ceremony coordinator Jenny kept everyone sane, protected me from any preemptive “first looks” that were not planned, kept our bridal party well fed and looked after.
Kassandra was my day-of coordinator and she did her job well. While my mother has no problem expressing her upset with Abernethy, I have to say the complaints are not valid or fair. Kassandra kept her promise of keeping our wedding – OURS. She did everything she could to ensure that our plans and visions were kept intact, while also having to run a lot of interference! That was no easy task. Kassandra maintained professionalism, loyalty, and prompt communication. I never doubted where my day-of coordinator was or what she was doing. Kassandra will have your back!
Our reception was a delight. The late night coffee and snacks (tots!) were a huge hit that guests are still talking about as a favorite. The bartenders kept our guests “well hydrated” and happy. Abernethy and Kassandra both ensured my new husband and I had a gorgeous send off. Our wedding day was perfection.
Everything was amazing for our wedding. The staff was so nice and I never felt worried about anything. If you want a one stop shop for your wedding this is the venue!!!

Abernethy was great to work with and a beautiful venue! We worked with Kassandra while planning. She was lovely and extra helpful! They let us visit the venue to check that our chu...
ppah (Jewish wedding canopy) would fit infront of the gazibo. The food was also amazing! Our guests were astounded by the beauty and food. The downsides were that they were less flexible than some venues might be. We also found that the day-of coordinator (not Kassandra, someone else who we met at the rehearsal) was a bit difficult to work with. She had a difficult time phrasing things in a way that didn't make things stressful. We also had a Jewish wedding, which she had a difficult time understanding meant things were different than the typical format or understanding what/why things were important. For example, she interrupted the ketubah signing ceremony to rush us to the chuppah (we were about 10 minutes behind). She probably didn't realize she actually interrupted what was in our eyes the MOST important part of the ceremony and the most special moment. Overall the day was a success and the time spent planning was great with the exception of one member of staff.
My wife and I got married at Abernethy Center as a "destination" wedding (we live in Arizona). The whole process, from the initial site visit, planning, and the actual wedding day ...
was great. Kassandra was our primary contact, and was great to work with, never giving any sense that my constant stream of emails were too much, and always answered my questions in a friendly and professional manner (even in the cases where I was sure I had already asked, and just couldn't find the answer).
The actual wedding day was more than I could have hoped for. Everything went off perfectly (or if things didn't, I had no idea because they are that good). Our day of contact kept everything moving on track, was flexible with timeline when our ceremony was slightly shorter than anticipated, and was super helpful in making sure that we got some mac and cheese bites to our seat when the late night snacks were out.
110% would recommend this venue!
Abernethy center is THE best place to get married. We planned a destination wedding in Oregon and didn’t expect weather to be 100 degrees. They offered to switch us between venues ...

I can't rave enough about this venue!!! They are amazing!!! My big day was so beautiful, organized, and fun.

The venue is well kept and we felt welcome there. We like that there's a room for the groom and groomsmen to get ready too, not just one for the bride. Great experience over all!

We were given all the time we needed at each of the venues, encouraged to snap photos and ask questions, and all of the venue's information was well explained. We ultimately decided the venue wasn't the right setting for our wedding - we have too many people for the smaller space venues and too few people for the larger ballroom - but the tour experience was so wonderful that we wanted to leave a review for future couples. Thank you Kassandra and the Abernethy Center Team - you made our tour with you such a wonderful experience and because of your guidance you also helped make our following tours so much better as well!
P.S. Abernethy Center also provided us the sweetest moment - when we drove up to their office they had a sign on a parking space saying "Reserved for the Future Bride & Groom, Cassie & Josef", it was the first time we had seen ourselves referred to as the "bride & groom" and it felt so happy and surreal!

p to our wedding. Never once did I call her and she didn’t have an answer to my questions. She’s very professional and knowledgeable. The food is expensive, but you’re not just paying for food. They include the tables, chairs, table cloths, silverware, plates, dance floor. Saves so much headache that they take care of it all for you.
