Highly Recommend!

Stephanie Adamski was our venue coordinator and she was absolutely amazing. She asked the right questions, had suggestions that always elevated the vision and enhanced our experience, and made sure we knew she was there for us every step of the way. We had our ceremony on the Harbor Lawn, cocktail hour on the patio, and reception in the Harbor Ballroom and the venue is just transformative in making our dream day come to life. Everyone on the team was helpful and kind — our guests commented on how delicious the food was, the space was perfect, and we truly couldn’t recommend The Abbey more for your wedding day. Lake Geneva is also gorgeous that time of year (late August) and with many of our guests coming from out of town, having the ability to do a room block at The Abbey itself was very convenient. Huge thank you to Stephanie & everyone at The Abbey for the best wedding!

Perfect Lake Geneva Venue!

The Abbey is the perfect spot for a Lake Geneva wedding- being on the west shore of the lake but just a quick drive from downtown Lake Geneva! My husband and I knew we wanted a venue with accommodations & catering on site to help ease the wedding process. Not only did The Abbey have both of these but we received so many compliments from our guests on the resort as well as the food and beverages! Almost half our guests ended up coming into town Friday night for our Saturday wedding and made a weekend out of it.

We first toured the venue with Stephanie Adamski (wedding venue coordinator) in December of 2023 and even with the cold snowy weather on our tour Stephanie did a wonderful job helping us see all of the potential options at The Abbey. Stephanie has a gift for attention to details which we so appreciated as I will admit my husband and I are both pretty type A personalities. After every meeting with Stephanie we felt little to no stress and confident in the logistics of our wedding day. Flash forward to the big day- things could not have gone any smoother! We had beautiful fall weather and no hiccups to figure out day of. Everything was delivered as promised and all of Stephanie’s recommendations for decor and planning turned out beautifully. We could not recommend The Abbey enough and we will definitely be returning for weekend get aways in the coming years!

We had an amazing wedding at the Abbey and Stephanie Adamski (our venue coordinator) truly helped make our dream vision of our big day come true!

We wanted a venue where we could have both our ceremony and reception at one place as well as all our food and beverage taken care of so we didn't have to worry about it. Stephanie was there through the whole process end-to-end, helping ensure we had a backup for the ceremony if the weather was bad all the way to planning our meal/beverage selection and my dream glow-dance theme for the reception. More importantly, she treats you like family and shows that she cares, which helped put me at ease and less stressed out (in general) every time we met or spoke, as planning a wedding can be a daunting task. She went above and beyond ensuring every meticulous detail was taken care of and making sure any special requests or questions I had were accommodated.

Our wedding day ended up being a gorgeous fall day with the ceremony right on the lake, followed by a lively reception at the Pavilion. Everything went without a hitch and all of my guests said the food & service was amazing, the ambiance was breathtaking and that it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. I highly recommend the Abbey and can't thank Stephanie enough for helping make our day truly magical 💖 We can't wait to come back and visit!!
