Frequently Asked Questions
Are we able to hire our own vendors?
Absolutely! The Abbey welcomes your favorite and fully licensed vendors of choice. If you’d like, we can provide the names of some of our favorites.
Are we able to provide our own alcohol?
Absolutely! It’s a great way to save money and also enjoy exactly what you like! All alcohol must be served by an Abbey Estate TABC bartender.
Are we permitted to include pets?
Absolutely! Vaccinated furry family members are welcome to participate in your special event at The Abbey! Leashes/crates and other safety items to be discussed at contract signing.
Do you have payment options available?
Absolutely! Convenient installment plans are available.
Are smokers provided a comfortable area?
Absolutely! Our bonfire pit is a designated smoking area and features Adirondack-style chairs.
Are we responsible for cleaning and dealing with the trash?
No way! Your rental includes an Abbey Estate crew who will take care of cleaning and trash for you. Rental guests are responsible for removing personal items, left-over food, drinks and any personal decor.
Are we permitted to use real candles?
Sorry, only for a Unity Candle ceremony. Flameless candles are required for all other decor (and we have dozens that you may use free of charge).
Are we permitted to use sparklers?
Yes, but due to liability concerns, The Abbey staff cannot help distribute sparklers or organize a sparkler send-off. It all has to be handled by guests or members of the bridal party. The only prohibited exception is during a local drought and an official burn ban. Fireworks, however, are never permitted.
Are we permitted to use or toss paper, foil, or hole-punched confetti?
Please don’t! The Abbey Estate books many back-to-back events, and no one wants to arrive and see someone else’s colors all over the lawn! If confetti is used, you will be responsible for picking up the tiny pieces...no fun!
