“My husband Jesse and I had our wedding reception here and it was THE MOST beautiful day! Payton worked with us every step of the way and was the biggest part of why our day went so smoothly. We had so many special requests and she worked so hard to meet them all, stayed after, was extremely communicative and felt like a friend through the whole process. The guest absolutely adored the nature venue with the art gallery on the inside!”- 5/15/2025 • Brianna B (THE KNOT)
“We loved every part of our experience with the Abington Art Center! From the initial tour to our wedding ceremony, Payton went above and beyond to make sure every single detail was perfect. The building and grounds are stunning- there are so many locations to choose from (inside and outside!) for your event.”- 1/15/2025 • Lizzy S (THE KNOT
“From the staff to the galleries to the grounds, the Alverthorpe Manor/Abington Art Center was the perfect place to host our wedding. We enjoyed being able to get ready on site and have the ceremony and reception all in one place. Our guests enjoyed the local art and sculpture garden. It was a uniquely wonderful venue for us as a couple who didn't want a "traditional" wedding venue, and as foodies for whom it was really important to be able to bring in our own caterers! Payton, the private events coordinator, was so helpful with everything. ”- Rachel Y.•Nov 23, 2024 (ZOLA)
“We got married in June at Alverthorpe Manor, and everything was beautiful! The venue offered many wonderful and unique spaces to celebrate from the ceremony on the lawn, to the cocktail hour in the museum and dinner and dancing under the covered pavilion. We worked with Payton leading up to the wedding. She was flexible, responsive and able to provide assistance when needed. We love that we chose Alverthorpe Manor for our big day!”- 7/23/2024 • Emily M (THE KNOT)
“We rented indoor gallery spaces at Abington Art Center for a family celebration. The space was perfect and the event staff was amazing. They were highly communicative and connected us with a great caterer and DJ. Everything was set up perfectly upon our arrival. We were made to feel welcome and all of our questions and needs were answered. The whole thing was stress free so we could focus on celebrating with our friends and family. It is a beautiful setting with gorgeous grounds and scenery. Highly recommend AAC for your special event.”- Jeremy R. (Google Reviews)
