GRATEFUL BEYOND MEASURE: CELEBRATING 24 YEARS OF CONNECTION, COMMUNITY, AND LOVE

At Abernethy Center, gratitude runs deep, and as we celebrate 24 incredible years of love stories, partnerships, and unforgettable celebrations, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what truly makes this place special: our couples, our vendor community, and the unwavering support that has shaped our journey. 



24 YEARS OF LOVE STORIES


Over the past two decades, we’ve had the immense privilege of hosting some of the best couples imaginable. Each wedding tells a unique story, two people coming together, surrounded by family and friends, to celebrate love in all its beauty and authenticity. From elegant black-tie affairs to whimsical garden ceremonies, every couple who has walked through our doors has brought their own personality, dreams, and energy to Abernethy Center. Their creativity has inspired us to continually evolve, refine, and reimagine what’s possible in wedding design and experience. 


What has always stood out most to us is the kindness, gratitude, and genuine love our couples bring to their celebrations. We’ve witnessed joyful tears during vows, laughter echoing through receptions, and tender moments shared under the twinkle lights of our gardens. These memories remind us daily that weddings are not just events, they’re deeply personal milestones filled with meaning. The couples who choose Abernethy Center entrust us with one of the most important days of their lives, and that trust is something we hold sacred. 


Each love story leaves its mark on our venue and our hearts. Over the years, we’ve seen couples return to celebrate anniversaries, growing families, and even their children’s weddings, a true full-circle joy. It’s these connections that make Abernethy Center more than a venue; it’s a home for love stories, past and present. To every couple who has celebrated with us: thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. You are the heart of what we do, and your love continues to inspire everything we create. 




OUR INCREDIBLE VENDOR COMMUNITY 


No celebration at Abernethy Center would be complete without the amazing network of wedding professionals who help bring each couple’s vision to life. Over the past 24 years, we’ve had the honor of collaborating with an extraordinary group of vendors, florists, photographers, planners, musicians, bakers, decorators, rental specialists, and more, each one contributing their own magic to every event. 


Our vendor partners are so much more than service providers; they’re storytellers, artists, and dream-builders. They’re the ones who bring color, sound, texture, and emotion to every corner of our venue. From the artistry of floral arrangements that transform our gardens into living works of art, to the photographers who capture fleeting, unforgettable moments, every vendor plays an essential role in crafting the perfect day. 


We’ve seen firsthand how collaboration, communication, and shared passion elevate an event from beautiful to unforgettable. Our vendor community thrives on trust, built over years of teamwork, shared challenges, and countless celebrations. Many of our partnerships have grown into true friendships, and we are endlessly grateful for the professionalism, creativity, and heart our vendors bring to every celebration. 


To every vendor who has walked our gardens with a clipboard in hand, adjusted lighting during a first dance, pinned one last boutonnière before the ceremony, or stayed late to make sure everything was perfect, thank you. Your dedication makes the magic possible, and we are profoundly thankful for the collaboration and care you bring to every couple we serve. 


GRATITUDE FOR THE JOURNEY 


As we look back on 24 years in the wedding and event industry, we’re filled with gratitude, for every couple who chose Abernethy Center to celebrate their love, for every vendor who poured their heart into a celebration, and for every team member who worked behind the scenes to make dreams come true. 


Our story is one of connection, of people coming together to create joy. That connection is what continues to fuel our passion and what makes Abernethy Center more than just a venue, it’s a family. 


HERE’S TO THE NEXT CHAPTER 


As we look ahead, our hearts are full. The love, creativity, and support we’ve received over the past 24 years have built the foundation for everything to come. Whether you’re a past couple, a vendor partner, or part of our extended community, THANK YOU!  Here’s to the next chapter of unforgettable celebrations, lasting friendships, and moments that matter most. 


From all of us at Abernethy Center, thank you for 24 years of love and partnership, we can’t wait to see what’s next!
