    Stephanie Adamski made wedding planning easy!!

    Stephanie Adamski turned our wedding from a dream to a fairy tail. She made our special day one that we will never forget. Every little detail was perfect. Her staff and the rest of the Abbey were on top of everything and made the day go off without a hitch. We can’t thank her and everyone else enough. You will have the same experience as us and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Stephanie and the Abby.
    Thanks for making our wedding night memorable.
    Brittany and Eric Johnson

    Wonderful Venue and Staff

    We had our wedding in the Westshore Pavilion and it couldn't have been more perfect! Stephanie and the team at the Abbey were wonderful at making sure our day was well coordinated and that the venue looked perfect. This venue is a perfect mix of outdoor garden with the amenities of concrete floor and heat/air in case of in inclimate weather. They were wonderful with incorporating our ideas and finding ways to make them work. The Spa handled all the bridesmaid's hair and makeup for the wedding. Lisa was great at coordinating the day for the 10 girls and the girls loved the ability to be with each other while they were getting ready. All the bridesmaids raved about their experience with their hair and makeup! Thanks Abbey and Avani!

    Could not have had a more perfect day

    We had the adventure of planning a wedding during COVID-19. The Abbey wasn't our first (or our second) venue but when we were without a venue for the third time and contacted The Abbey EVERYTHING started falling into place. Emily and her whole team gave everything they had to make sure our wedding was perfect. And it really was. Emily's responsiveness was unparalleled and when we ran into some tricky parts with live streaming the ceremony she worked with all parties to get it just right. The food was amazing. The gazebo... oh my gosh the gazebo was just a stunning place to say "I Do". It seriously felt that Emily was as excited for us to get married as we were. We could not have asked for a better venue for such a special day. Both the Porto room for our reception and the Harbor Ballroom for our Wedding rehersal dinner are just amazing. Everything about it was seemless. We cannot thank Emily and The Abbey enough for all they did for us. We CANNOT wait to come back here year after year for our anniversary and sit down by the water for a drink and listen to live music. Despite a pandemic, it was seriously the best day ever.

    10/09/21 wedding

    We got married last week at The Abbey after 2 years of planning and it was AMAZING. The entire process planning with staff went so smoothly. We worked closely with Kelly and she was phenomenal. Very prompt with emails and answered my MANY questions over the years with ease. She was kind and considerate through it all. The resort Itself was so pretty. The grounds were kept amazing and all of the staff was helpful surrounding the weekend. We loved every minute of our weekend and the Abbey made it truly spectacular.

    The Abbey Resort's reply:

    What a beautiful wedding! We were honored to have made your day so special and to work with you! We wish you a lifetime of happiness.
    We hope to see you back soon and for your anniversary.

    Do NOT hesitate!

    Our wedding was originally planned for 2020 but alas, covid struck and we were forced to postpone. The Abbey Resort literally made it SO easy I almost wasn’t even upset. Kelly was a DREAM to work with and is SO responsive to emails and calls. Do not hesitate booking your wedding here, you won’t regret it!

    Absolutely Perfect

    We had such a wonderful experience in working with The Abbey Resort, specifically Kelly Pohle. Kelly is one of the main reasons we decided to go with Abbey versus other venues in the Lake Geneva area. She is extremely responsive, helpful, and knows what she is doing!

    The abbey is an amazing wedding venue!

    My husband and I had stayed at the Abbey a couple times before getting married and when we were looking for venues, we never thought about the Abbey. I honestly probably thought it would be too expensive. We were staying the weekend and decided to inquire about wedding packages. The bartender referred us to Kelly Pohle the wedding sales manager. From the first encounter with Kelly, I knew she was going to be an absolute pleasure to work with! We had to delay our wedding due to covid and you would think that would be a nightmare with having a wedding already planned. Kelly was so accommodating and made it a very easy and smooth transition. She was always checking in with us, she always returned calls and emails very promptly and made the whole experience stress free. She was great the day of the wedding and things went perfect! I would 100% recommend Kelly and The Abbey to anyone!

    Our Stunning Wedding At The Abbey

    Our wedding coordinator, Emily, went above and beyond to make our wedding day amazing. She was quick to respond to our emails and happy to arrange a phone call with us any time we had questions or concerns. The day before and of our wedding Emily was supportive, helpful and a calm presence for us and our bridal party which we greatly appreciated. Overall, we had a great experience at The Abbey. The only negatives were they did not put out enough chairs for our guests at our wedding ceremony which meant several people were left standing. Additionally, there were some minor issues with our booking agent that lead to confusion/frustration for guests that were reserving rooms under our block. Aside from that, we had a beautiful ceremony at the harbor gazebo and our reception in the west shore pavilion tent was wonderful.

    Absolutely loved the Abbey Resort!

    We can not say enough good things about The Abbey! Emily and the on-site wedding coordinators were amazing. They were easy to get a hold of and were able to address all of the unavoidable last minute issues. The Abbey itself has been nicely renovated over the last year, and we absolutely loved our reception in the West Shore Pavilion. We loved the resort feel, and all of the options both onsite and locally for our guests to enjoy over the wedding weekend. Highly recommend!

    Best. Day. Ever. Thank you for The Abbey for making our wedding day seamless, professional, comfortable and beautiful. We searched many venues before deciding on The Abbey. They are experts in this field and have professionals who take care of you from start to finish. We chose this as our wedding destination, not being nearby was never an issue or concern. An amazing attention to detail. Huge credit to Geri and her team. The entire process and our day was flawless. Barbara and Bryan

    Simply the BEST! From day one until the wedding day...the wedding planning team was with us EVERY step of the way. We always had a person to contact. when the wedding planner left for the day, we were introduced to the banquet manager and the bar manager so we had a face and a name if we needed anything. TOP NOTCH SERVICE! Our guests were very impressed and commented about how great the service was--from the rooms to the restaurants to the reception. Very detail oriented! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Abbey Resort and their wedding planning team!!

    We blocked off this hotel for my wedding the weekend of Oct 7. This place is beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice. Everyone enjoyed the stay. The 240 bar was a blast! We were there Friday and Saturday. It was a little slow getting drinks on Friday. I think they were not expecting such a big crowd; we had about 40 people there. We had dinner at The Waterfront. Most of my family and guests showed up here for dinner. We kept adding more tables and soon we almost had the entire room. They were very accommodating and allowed us to sit together. This was super nice of them. Having worked in the restaurant industry, I know what a pain we had to have been. The food was excellent. We had booked the patio for our wedding rehearsal and it rained! I contacted the wedding sales manager a week before and she reserved an indoor spot for me, I just needed to confirm which one I was going to use 3 hours before. We ended up inside, which was fine. The room was nice and they were very accommodating. The only downside is that the place is a maze. It can be difficult to get from one building to the other, as they are not in numerical order. They also did not put all of my block in the same building. We had to move around from building 6 and 7, which was annoying at times as they are not connected. Other than that, everything was beautiful and perfect for us.

    We had our September wedding at The Abbey in the Harbor Ballroom and it was the best day of our lives!!! Tabitha (Bell) Schrock and Claire Roddy answered every question, had amazing ideas, and were so kind and fun to work with during the planning process. We did not have any worries leading up to the day. Tabitha was so organized leading our family and bridal party through the day. Thank you to Rachel and Tony for also taking such wonderful care of us during the reception! The whole staff from the front desk, to housekeeping, to In Room Dining and banquets, to the spa and restaurant was just spectacular all weekend. We have gotten nothing but amazing feedback from all our guests about the quality and friendliness of the service received throughout the weekend. The food was absolutely delicious and the bartenders were fantastic as well. We are so thankful to everyone at The Abbey for making our day so special!

    My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Abbey on 9/3/17. Our ceremony was at the harbor gazebo and reception in the sandbar room. We have nothing bad to say about our experience! From the first time we met Tabitha (she is amazing) through our wedding weekend, we were so happy and impressed. Everyone at The Abbey is so helpful, genuine, and friendly. We had many, many compliments from our guests! It was truly a beautiful weekend! We can't wait to go back, we'll forever love The Abbey!

    The Abbey Resort was a beautiful and perfect venue! It was the most perfect day! The food was amazing!!!! I had so many compliments on the location! The wedding coordinator left right before my wedding but all of our wants and needs were met by the new wedding coordinator Rachel! The staff was very tentative and didn't hesitate to get us anything. The best day of our lives. So many happy tears from beginning to end!

    We are so glad we picked the Abbey for our special day. From the ceremony at the Gazebo to the Reception at the West Shore Pavillion, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting. The staff provided outstanding service and made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. Thank you to Robyn, Rachel and Justin for being so accommodating! The Abbey will forever have a special place in our hearts.

    We hosted a rehearsal dinner at the Abbey on the patio and could not have been happier with the event!
    The food was delicious, the set-up lovely, and the staff efficient, pleasant and attentive. Working with the wedding coordinator was easy. She was very accessible, pleasant, professional and accommodated all we asked for. We highly recommend the Abbey for any of your events!

    I can't say enough about how great this venue turned out to be for our wedding. Our decision to choose The Abbey came down to how great Tabitha was during our initial meeting as well as everything this place has to offer. Nearly 85% of our guest list was traveling from out of town and we wanted a place that could serve as a "weekend getaway" for everyone if they wanted. Its been almost 3 weeks since our wedding and we are still getting comments from our guests about it - everything from the location to the food to the rooms themselves. Not only were Tabitha and Justin great to work with, but anytime they were out of the office, their backups were incredibly helpful and able to answer any questions we had. That went a long way - especially as the big day got closer and closer.
    Our wedding and reception went very smoothly - Tabitha was even there for the rehearsal the night before as well as the day of to make sure everything went as expected, including the wedding party procession itself. This was definitely an added bonus that we were not aware of when we booked the venue.

    We recently got married at The Abbey Resort and cannot say enough great things about this venue. Tabitha Bell and her team were beyond exceptional. Tabitha made our entire wedding weekend seamless and stress free. We had so many compliments from guests on the atmosphere, friendly staff, and wonderful amenities. The Abbey Resort offers everything you need to entertain guests all weekend long. We highly recommend The Abbey and cannot wait to go back for a visit!

    Thank you Tabitha and everyone at The Abbey for a FANTASTIC experience!! We had such and excellent and easy time planning our wedding. From the beginning, Tabitha was so welcoming and accommodating. She is excellent to work with and extremely organized. The experience at The Abbey was great. Our guests loved the convenience of having the reception and rooms at the same location. We received many comments on how excellent the food and service was at our wedding. The ballroom was beautiful and so spacious. Tabitha and Robyn made set up easy and were there to answer any questions we had throughout the entire process. My husband and I really could not have asked for a better wedding experience. Thank you so much Tabitha and The Abbey for an awesome wedding!!!

    My husband and I just had our wedding at The Abbey in the Harbor Ballroom this past January (for 180) and couldn't be happier with how incredible everything was. From working with Justin on room blocks to working on the rehearsal dinner and wedding day logistics with Robyn Moe, everything was incredibly easy and seamless. The whole hotel was the friendliest bunch each time we came up to the hotel, Robyn was the most amazing Catering Manager to work with, worked tirelessly to ensure the day went perfectly and the hotel guest rooms alone are gorgeous, recently renovated and so convenient after an evening of fun! Not to mention the food was delicious, which is especially hard to do when serving such a large group. We had a magical weekend and highly recommend this venue.

    We had our wedding at The Abbey in October and everything was absolutely beautiful and we can't thank them enough! Robyn, our wedding coordinator, was great to work with; very responsive and made sure our day went as smoothly as possible. Justin, our rep. for customer service/rooms, kept us informed from day one on all our guests reservations. These two made wedding planning easy and an enjoyable experience. Lots of compliments from guests on the resort & food!

    My husband and I (along with our families) don't have enough words for how perfect The Abbey was for our wedding. From the day we looked at venues, we knew immediately while talking with Tabitha that The Abbey was exactly what we were looking for for our ceremony and reception. Tabitha helped us keep our heads on straight through the entire year we were planning our wedding. She was very responsive with all the questions brides have, and always gave us great guidance and advice when we sought it out. She was extremely organized and always made sure we were on top of everything we needed to do during the planning process with the venue. On our wedding day, she was also a huge help. She assisted in making sure our crazy bridal party stayed on track and that our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception went off without a hitch. We didn't have to lift a finger the entire day and that is large because of Tabitha and The Abbey staff. From a ceremony perspective, I could not imagine anywhere but the Gazebo on the property as a place to have my ceremony. The reception hall was beautiful, the food was, great, and the service was exceptional. Claire was our point of contact for our room block, and she was also extremely helpful and responsive in guiding us through the process of having a room block. We did not hear any complaints from the guest about their stay at The Abbey. Prior to our wedding, The Abbey was always a place we visited by boat with our family to have a bite to eat or grab a drink. It will forever mean so much more to us, and I can't imagine hosting my wedding anywhere else. I would not change a thing about our day. Thank you to The Abbey staff for a truly perfect wedding weekend!
