ATTENTION BRIDES!! This review is intended to bring attention to details lacking on Brighton Abbey’s (BA’s) part, prior to anyone signing a contract with them!! Every attempt was made to resolve issues through email with BA. 1. At our 30 day-o...
ut walk thru, we were told the guest limit was 175. Our signed contract stated a 200 guest limit. As of today, the BA website states it accommodates 200 guests. 2. Day of wedding (12/11/2021): we enter the bridal suite at 9:00 am to a Terrible SMELL, the commode was clogged, after paying 4 extra hours to use the bridal suite in its entirety. The front desk girl, when told of the issue replied “WE could email Laurina, our day of person.” Laurina was not scheduled to arrive at BA until 2:00 pm. Laurina, Becky (Owner) & Jillian (SM) were emailed by me, and the front desk girl after being told it was her job NOT mine! The toilet was not fixed, no attempt was made to unclog it, other than gardener looking at it. A plumber was not called as the owner Becky “Felt it was impractical with us already getting ready in the bridal suite. We can’t help it if the day-before bridal party flushes a non-toilet item down the commode.” Seriously? So the rest of the weekend brides are just S.O.L. & made to endure the grossness and SMELL! The bridal suite bathroom is large. So a plumber could have easily gone in, shut the door to the bathroom and fixed the problem. The venue did NOT have supplies on hand to render the issue & smell. 3. The bride discovered the sliding glass door was missing in the ballroom. We had planned on closing it and opening it upon the bride & grooms big entrance to the reception. When we asked about the missing door we were told “WE could email Laurina.” The response from owner Becky was “It had been broken the week before, tried to replace it but could not have it back in time. If we knew it was such an important element of your daughters wedding day we would have told you about it.” They made NO attempt prior to the wedding to contact myself, the bride, or our wedding planners about it. BRIDES, when you rent a venue you rent every element of the venue, if any element of the venue becomes unavailable it is the VENUE”S RESPONSIBILITY to contact all parties! They did not! *That said, a few days after the wedding I contacted the owner by email and readdressed the issues. NO APOLOGIES were made at any time until I addressed that fact, and NO PRICE ADJUSTMENTS of extra hours PAID were refunded when asked, nor were they offered. Becky simply replied “Thanks for all the great advice. We will take it into consideration. Have a blessed day.” Our day-of venue person Laurina was delightful, however NEEDS to arrive earlier to handle issues! The front desk person NEEDS to wear a smile, be helpful, not have an I DON’T CARE ATTITUDE! The owner needs a PR person, as she is lacking in that area, & only escalates frustrations with her lack of genuine sincerity. *BRIDES, also note that should you break something BA has no problem charging you for that, BUT if BA has issues there are apparently ZERO refunds or consequences for them. *Make sure to add clauses to your contracts BEFORE signing them, in regards to BA’s liability, problems that arise & issue some sort of compensation to you. That is good business practice! Despite our frustrations with BA & owner Becky, we did not let it take away from the irreplaceable moments of our daughter's wedding day! It was an absolutely beautiful & memorable day!

We are glad to hear your guest were in awe with our venue! The Brighton Abbey team works diligently to make every brides experience wonderful. Unfortunately, life is not always perfect and things do happen that is out of our control. We did hav...
e one of our toilets get clogged at this wedding and were not able to get a plumber out immediately to fix it on a Saturday and we did have to just shut the door to that bathroom and the bridal party did have to utilize the other 3 toilets around the corner from the bridal suite. Also, she is correct we did have custom decorative barn doors added to this venue when we purchased it to enhance the entry into the reception area and yes the weekend before one of the guest at a wedding knocked barn doors off and shattered the glass. We ordered new custom doors immediately however, welcome to the world acquiring building materials are not easy to get quickly these days. I also feel that it is easy on the outside looking in to tell someone how they should run their business and what they should do in all situations. We spend a tremendous amount of time in this 7 day a week business with 8 hours in the middle of the night to clean and reset for the wedding the next day and make everything perfect. We have such a great group of ladies on our team that do their best to smile in all situations. To close, we hate that the clogged toilet and the broken barn door upset you so greatly. But is sounds like in the grand scheme of things your daughter had a beautiful wedding at Brighton Abbey.

t and no matter the time of day, the view is amazing inside and out. I loved the little courtyard in the center that was perfect for entertaining guests during cocktail hour as well as the reception hall that is on the other side. I wish I had gotten ready at the venue instead of the Air BNB that I got nearby (I wouldn't recommend it, especially if you are wanting to get ready there with a large group). Our dressing room was so cute! With a private bathroom, platform with a mirror and two double sided mirror stations for bridesmaids to get ready at. It was so nice to have between events during the wedding. The groom's room had some options for entertainment while they waited and roomy, with a great view of the courtyard. Finally, the thing that both my husband and I can agree on, was the staff and their eye for detail!! With the help of Emily Spinks, our event coordinator, she was there for us and helped with setting up our reception. We also liked that the beverage company that they use, all of our guests said great things about our bartender that night. He knew people by name and knew exactly what they wanted when they approached the bar. Emily helped out all our other vendors get settled and direct them as needed for our day. It was so much fun, not stressful, and such a beautiful place to be for a special day. Thank you so much!

ING this venue really is. The French castle theme was dreamy, the chapel was to die for, and the courtyard was just WOW. In addition, ladies if you are looking for a beautiful bridal suite this is it! I just cannot express enough how gorgeous and unique this place is. It had our guests talking about it nonstop and I'm pretty sure our photographer had a field day shooting here haha. I also can't forget the BA team who was so great to work with. I was a bride that really had no idea what I was doing (it does not come natural to me haha) but they stepped up to help me along the way -- huge shout out and thank you to Becky and Jillian who really made this day come together! We truly appreciate all they did to make our day perfect. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
