    The Abernethy made everything so easy on my end. I don’t live near the area but they made it so easy to communicate and get things done. Jenny was especially amazing day of. She took charge and even carried around my binder that had everything anyone needed to know in it. She was so sweet and catered towards our every need. She even offered us water during our pictures. Everyone at the Abernethy is amazing and I would definitely hold my vow renewals here again years down the road.

    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 are 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.

    I cannot say enough good things about the Abernethy Center. I live in California and my daughter (the bride) and her fiance lived in Indiana and they were getting married in Oregon City! The only way this was going to work was through solid communication. The Abernethy Center catered to the situation with ease. They were so professional and helpful with every single arrangement. They allowed for a stand in (her brother) to do the food tasting. They allowed us to come and check out the site whenever we were in town and ask as many questions as we wanted. Their email correspondence was spot on! And the end result was nothing but absolutely lovely! The facility was beautiful and every detail just came into place. I highly recommend the Abernethy Center to anyone that asks.
