Unfortunately, the…read moreattendance was sparse; I counted about 40 people and half of those were organizers, first responders and bored concession workers. The low turnout caused the cancellation of the remainder of the scheduled watch parties which is a shame. The facility was clean, well-organized and lends itself to these types of events with its intimacy and the ability to seat 3000. I'm not sure why concerts are not scheduled here as they once were, I would rather see a show here over The Truman, The Madrid or Grinders. This was THE place for live music in KC from the 1960's to the mid 90's, I attended probably about 25 shows here with great memories of U2, DEVO, Tears for Fears, Elvis Costello, Leon Russell.... I would love to see it return as a live music venue - Let's go KCK.

While we were quietly walking through the space at the end of the night to ensure we hadn't left any personal belongings behind, this individual approached us completely unprovoked. He was clearly intoxicated, began aggressively cursing at us, told us to "get the fuck out," and threatened to call the police. It was entirely unprofessional, alarming, and completely uncalled for. A venue coordinator or owner should ensure a safe and welcoming environment, not host a hostile situation. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere if you want a stress-free event.

It was good to finally attend an event here. This event space was spacious enough to fit 20+ tables and they also had a large multi tiered crystal chandelier featuring numerous candle lights.

There was plenty of space for hundreds of us, and yet it never felt crowded. They pulled off the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and the after-party seamlessly. The rooftop and well-placed bars made everything flow effortlessly. At no point did we feel rushed, overwhelmed, or stuck waiting around--which is rare at big events. It was an incredibly fun night. If I ever had a large event to plan, The Abbott would be high on my list.

There were many people from all over town and our little area here in New Longview. My wife and I live is Kessler Ridge, so we drove less than five minutes to get to the mansion. We have been on the grounds many times before, but this was the first time we were able to visit the interior of the house. It is impressive and fun. There were lots of little pop-up shops set up inside the mansion, all on the main floor and then in a tent that extended from a sunporch on the back of the house. That was by far the biggest area to shop. The rest of the little pop-up areas were small and cozy inside the house. The staff was lovely and serving drinks, wine and food. We only had one glass of wine so we could drive home safely. We loved walking around the house, which everyone who attended was allowed to do with no drama and no supervision. Everyone I saw was super respectful of the property. Everyone we encountered was kind. It was a lovely evening. I hope they do it again next year so we can go.

I would not book here-simply because of the predatory practices they use to run this business…read more In June, we booked this venue for a wedding in October of 2027. In August, we found out we are expecting. Lovely news! In an effort to be responsible first-time parents, we decided to cancel the wedding and use our wedding money to prepare for our unborn child instead. We are still going to get married, but not at an expensive venue. We are trying to do right by our child and bring a human into this world in the most responsible way possible. On august 31, I emailed and informed the venue of our decision to cancel (over 13 months in advance). I inquired about a refund of the nearly $5,000 we deposited. It is extremely hard to get ahold of anyone (which you will see in other reviews), we are lucky to hear back once a week. Heather eventually responded, refusing to refund our money because "deposits are non refundable" because of expenses the business "incurs" by booking a date. We received no service from them. All we did was tour the venue, and deposit the required amount. We did not schedule or receive a tasting, pick out layouts/colors, decor, we never even met with our coordinator. So the argument that they need to keep our $5k for "expenses" is fake and predatory because we received NO services from them. They have refused to give me any detail on what those "expenses" are that they're supposedly using my money for (I wonder why). They haven't spent or lost any money on us. There's no reason to keep $5,000 of OUR money. Or even half of it. I understand how a business works. But with over a year to rebook, they have more than enough time to rebook our date (which is in the middle of peak wedding season). We are trying to do the right thing as parents and this business is taking full advantage of us. They want to keep our deposit, and re book the date so they can have their cake and eat it too. It's pure greed. A place that preaches love and family should really practice what they preach. Where is the humanity?

Arriving from the northwest, we found many of the parking entrances blocked for our event, with no signage as to where to proceed to. This led us the long way around the entire center, and out to College Boulevard. As there was some open parking there, we settled for that, but I would have been much, much happier in a standard parking space in a lot or garage. Once inside, the space was well prepared for our event - plenty of seating, tables, food, and space to move about! The event was very, very large (headcount-wise), so having a space large enough to accommodate, which this did, was very. nice. I'm assuming all the food at our event was prepared on site. It was all tasty, relatively fresh, and much of it was visually appealing! Restrooms were aplenty, and mostly clean. I did find a couple paper towel dispensers empty throughout the evening, though. Access was good, with escalators and elevators around for ADA accessibility. All in all, I'd say everything here was a "meets expectations", except for parking and/or parking guidance. Nothing stood out as outstanding, and nothing (outside parking) was sub-par.
