A moment of serendipity had us check out The Country Abbey for our father's funeral. We wanted the…read morefuneral in Justin and the church next door could not accommodate us on the date we needed. So we walked over to The Country Abbey on a Sunday afternoon. The door was unlocked and we walked in and met Naomi. We talked to her for a moment and immediately booked the venue for the following Friday. This was our first funeral but not our first event to plan, and I have to say Naomi was quite possibly the most accommodating vendor with which I have had the pleasure to work. As an Interior Designer, I asked to rearrange some furniture and she made it happen. We asked for extension cords, items to help with the AV equipment, late meetings at the Abbey the night before to drop off cases of beverages and additional items we needed for the funeral service, and Naomi could not have been nicer. She never said "no". Who meets you at 10 p.m. to unlock the doors so your event the next morning will go smoothly? Naomi! Regarding the space, the "chapel" is just the right size - not too small and not so cavernous that it would look empty if the head-count was low. The backdrop is clean and uncluttered with no religious imagery or symbolism. The reception space was completely set up with the items we requested when we arrived 2 hours early for our event. Everything was clean and we lacked for nothing. Saying goodbye to our father was hard enough and we didn't need any more stress preparing for his funeral. There are dozens of things that have to be done that you might not think of, and Naomi made it virtually stress-free. Any time I need a venue in Justin, it will be The Country Abbey because it was such a positive experience.

I can not say enough good things about Sarah and Naomi at the Country Abbey. Our original wedding…read moredate was supposed to be 05/01/20 but due to Covid we had to change our plans quickly. Sarah (the coordinator) contacted me and worked with me to reschedule our wedding date for Oct/2020. It was such a stressful time for me but Sarah made it so much easier. Any time I had a question, concern or anxiety, I could always email, call or pop in for a visit to the Abbey and she always eased my fears. She offered so many ideas when I was unsure of how to do things and she and her team decorated the Abbey so beautifully for our wedding. I wanted a simple, clean and rustic look and she put it together perfectly! Our ceremony went off without a hitch because Sarah made sure everyone knew what they were supposed to do and say. I couldn't have pulled off this wedding without Sarah and her amazing abilities. She treated me like I was her only client even during the pandemic and when there were many other brides dealing with the same thing I was. Also the price for the venue was extremely reasonable and the cheapest I found anywhere! I highly recommend the country Abbey for your wedding, it was everything I had hoped for and more! Thank you Sarah!!!

Lumen Room Denton I recently had a photo shoot for my…read moredaughter's senior/graduation photos. We hired an independent photographer and she set up the studio and she chose The Lumen Room in Denton. We were in the 'White' area. I did not get a chance to see the 'Lifestyle' area but it did look slightly smaller. I personally have extensive experience shooting video but, in this case, I happy to let my wife and daughter control this photo shoot. I was really blown away with the uniqueness of the space. The Lumen Room Denton, is housed in a former 4 bay mechanic shop/gas station. Frankly, super unique in my opinion. Obviously, the space has been completely renovated to be an open space that can accommodate photo shoots or almost anything you might need it for like a meeting or even a birthday party. For this example, the photographer needs light, space and a few backgrounds choices and The Lumen Room provided almost everything a good photo studio needs. First, the amount of space the studio has was fairly expansive for a single person photo shoot like 25x 25. And, the space even provides a few different styles of chairs and sofas to use as props or for client lounging. Second, background choices really facilitate a photographer's job to provide some variety of images. The Lumen Room provides several roll around 8x8 flat wall backdrops. White, black and colored flats can give some flexibility in shooting and I was impressed to see these as a standard included with the space. The photographer used the natural light that was available coming through frosted glass garage doors on one side and high north facing sky lights on the other. I stood by and watched the photographer work. I was impressed with the overall experience because my wife and I were able to sit and watch everything happen in air conditioned comfort. I thought about the possibilities of using this space to shoot interviews or for professional sound recordings but with the proximity to a busy street, I can only recommend The Lumen Room in Denton as photo studio or perhaps a video insert studio. Check it out and you might find that The Lumen Room could work perfectly for corporate or freelance photographers in and around the Dallas/Fort Worth/Denton area. I work in Denton and I am really glad I was introduced to this space. The photographer told me there are a few in Fort Worth and in Dallas. Happy shooting!
