I had my wedding & reception at the Abbey Station last Summer. We were very happy with the customer…read moreservice. Tonja, Al & Colleen were so helpful in planning our event. The price for rental of the venue was cheaper than most places and included all tables, chairs & linens (minus chair covers). The only downside is that you have to use their caterer (Bridges Catering) and buy alcohol from their bar. Our guests were very happy with the food and said it was some of the best wedding food they have had (pasta buffet). We had a very tight budget and they were willing to help us find the best selection for the price. We also held our wedding here to save some money. It was neat having the trains in the background. Luckily none came through while we held our ceremony. There is a covered place to have the wedding if you are planning something small. We had about 50 guests and it was pretty tight. My only complaint was the service on the night of the reception. The people they have working didn't offer any refills on water and didn't offer the coffee that we paid for. Some of the guests told me later that it took awhile for them to clear the tables. Other than that, this was a great place for a wedding. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants a unique reception or needs a place that will fall into a tight budget.

Sarah and Dane were fabulous to work with. From the planning meetings to final checkout, nothing was overlooked. Sarah is quick to respond and reassure her clients.

We can recommend them without hesitation! Loved every minute we were there!

We first learned about them when the y visited Cedar Rapids years ago and now we just book a hotel and make a mini vacation or of it. The food is always well catered and the whole production shows a passion for the craft of entertaining. The actors interact with the audience in hilarious, in character, impromptu ways. If you have tried others and weren't impressed, the "It's a Mystery QC" crew will give you a reason to come back for more. Kudos!

Riley walked us through every single detail and put us at ease. We requested a new formation for the ceremony, and Riley worked with us and our decorator (I Do Events) to make it work. The spaciousness of the grand hall with the beautiful chandelier, great party lighting, and classic chiavari chairs was stunning! The cocktail hour space on the mezzanine was intimate but not crowded. The food was FANTASTIC, as expected from a caterer as well-known as Bridges! The bridal suite downstairs was very chic. The wait staff was attentive and helpful. Sheri oversaw the bar with grace. Tanja took over when Riley couldn't attend...and did it seamlessly. Everything was top notch. Thank you! We highly recommend your full-service event center!

We were promised things for our event (that we paid for in advance) that weren't available. The guests at our wedding were treated rudely. The review link on stern center fb page has been removed after we wrote an honest review of our experience and how we felt that we weren't treated like the customer. No worries because the word is out! Although we wish great for great success for their future, we will continue to not recommend business at this venue. One rude employee can ruin it for many and that is exactly what happened with us and our experience.
