    Tara, Mike, Kathy and the whole team at Abbington helped make our day picture perfect. From their dependability, transparent nature and helpfulness it made planning a wedding enjoyable and easy! Tara really helped me bring my dreams to life and spent time helping me with every little detail down to the perfect napkin fold for my guests. I would have more events at the Abbington for their beautiful space and helpful staff alone, but the food was also amazing. Coming from a foodie background, this was VITAL for our wedding. My guests are still raving about the food at our wedding. If you're looking for a classy, traditional and delicious venue then Abbington is your place!! Not to mention their preferred vendors are also amazing.

    We got engaged April 2017 and just got married on May 26 so that's about two years out we booked. We fell in love with the Abbington when we visited! We went to close to 20 halls and Abbington we knew was the one! We worked primarily with Tara. Throughout those couple years she kept in touch. I had so many silly questions and she replied promptly. Everyone there is so nice and willing to help any way they can. I am a huge worrier and I know I didn't have to worry with Abbington. They have won so many awards for a reason! Fast forward to our wedding day...everything was absolutely perfect! We had a lot of stuff for them to set up and everything was how I envisioned it. The food was delicious!! Our waiter for the bridal table was great and checked in with us throughout the night. Our wedding was almost two months ago and we are still getting compliments on everything!

    We had the pleasure of attending my cousin's wedding reception at Abbington Banquet last weekend. This banquet is located at the intersection of IL 53rd and Roosevelt Rd. The parking lot is quite large. The staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable . The room was beautifully decorated. The open bar is great. Open bar offered non- alcoholic drinks like kiddie cocktails, coke, sprite, etc. Also during the toasts, kids were allowed to share the moments with us. Of course they didn't drink champagne, they had sparkling cider. The food was so delicious. The size of the steak is huge. cooked at medium rare. It's tender and juicy. We had a five corse meal. First we enjoyed a nice creamy cheese broccoli soup. It was delicious. Next we had the Cesar Salad. It was really good I enjoyed the croutons ! After that we had a nice palette cleanser. It was a nice and cold lemon sorbet. Then we had a fairly large cute of steak. The steak was served with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Very yummy. Finally we enjoyed the wedding cake and some ice cream inside a dark chocolate cupcake cup. I loved the desert combination of wedding cake and ice cream in chocolate cupcakes. There was a lot of food so we were able to take food home to-go. The DJ was very kinda he took many great requests from the kids who had a great time dancing in the dance floor. In addition to the amazing dance floor they had a nice "photo booth" but with flip books. You'd move behind a camera for about 8 seconds and many picture would print out and be stapled together to create a flip book. Lots of memories will be kept forever through the flip-books. The restroom is clean and organized. I would recommend this banquet hall to anyone.

    Been here few times. It's a decent size banquet but hidden behind the gas station and Fast food restaurant. Ample parking. Entry is not as grand kind of low height door actually makes you wonder if you are at the right entryway! Hallways are nicely decorated but narrow. Restrooms are neat and clean. Ballroom is nice big and well decorated with elegant decor. It's more rectangular so you don't know what's going on on the other side unless you get a seat in the middle.

    First, Tara and her group were probably the most accommodating during our wedding planning.

Getting everything in order before the big day is one part of her work, she gathered vendors months in advance and made sure we were all on the same page. But the day of is critical, there is so much going on behind the scenes and keeping the couple happy and calm PLUS maintaining a friendly and helpful demeanor isn't easy. Kristina does it with ease! She is a pleasure to work with, not just a great planner but also a lovely person. I have had the pleasure of working alongside her at two weddings now, both days were a success from start to finish and I am sure the photos were also better because of how smooth things went. Thank you Kristina, I look forward to teaming up again soon! -Bethany Fritz; Maypole Studios Photography

She has been in the business for a long time and knows what a wedding entails. From the save the date to saying goodbye to all the guests after it is all over. Before the wedding she is creative, organized, accommodating, on top of everything, gives good advice, tells you how it really works, gives you lots of options to consider and such an educator in the wedding world, and again has great references of vendors. The day of she becomes the personal assistant for whatever you need and makes sure everything runs smoothly by taking care of all issues behind the scene. We loved working with her and she made our outdoor ceremony and tented wedding reception run completely smooth. Not an easy job!

    Okay - I'm not sure what happened to this place. I used them the past two summers to rent chairs…read morefor graduation parties, and they were great. Reasonably priced, very responsive. I picked up the chairs and the warehouse guys helped load them into my car, unload, etc. But then recently, I inquired about renting tables, chairs and linens for a bridal shower. First, their contact us form on their website wasn't working - some issue with the captcha. So I tried emailing with my request and questions about table options. I waited for days, and then I got an anonymous text with a couple of questions in return. So I'd respond, and then days would go by where I wouldn't hear anything again. I called several times and left messages, then I got another text a couple of days later. Finally, I got a text with just a price tag - no itemized breakdown of costs, no responses to my questions about table sizes, nothing. I left another message, asking for an itemized quote and haven't heard back. Its so surprising, considering how responsive and professional they were the past two summers when I rented from them. Itemized contracts, detailed terms. everything you would expect. This time there was none of that. Did they lose their sales staff? Are they going out of business?
