This is a very unprofessional establishment. I won't even get into details, but it's unfortunate that good willed, paying customers are treated so disrespectfully! Find another venue if you expect to be respected for a moment as precious as your wedding!
I was at a wedding and reception there a couple years ago. It was held out in the gazebo area. It is NOT what it is like pictured on the website. The pavilion area looks more like a pole barn that was dirty. The pictures on the website are very misleading.
First I need to say that my wedding was amazing but it wasn't because of John or Stacey. My wedding was amazing because of my details, Stephanie and the servers.
I want to warn all summer brides that if you get dressed at the Inne the bridal suite is VERY HOT! They will give you a fan but only if you ask for it and it doesn't do anything but move the hot air around. In fact the only cool room was the ball room. Everything else was uncomfortable!
If you have specialty drinks or any other alcoholic request make sure you don't just email it to Stacey, she will simply say OKAY and then you end up with no alcohol at your wedding! This is what happened to me and then John didn't even have the courage to tell me to my face that they screwed up. I had to request a meeting with him at my wedding which was a fiasco!
I took John into the bridal suite to explain to him how hot it was in there, and to tell him I am very unhappy with the way everything was being handled. He didn't even have the decency to look me in the eye. He shook uncontrollably and just kept saying that I needed to pay $95. I just want all brides out there to know that there are other places that will put you as a priority. John at the Inne was a horrible manager I heard complaints from my guests that he belittled the help during the cocktail hour setup. And he doesn't know anything about managing a company. He just wants your money and doesn't care what happens to you or anything that happens on your Big Day!
All brides, take it from me... look somewhere else so you don't run into the same problems!
My son had his wedding here my grand daughter had her sweet 16 here they are very helpful and accommodating and the rooms were done up very nicely
The outside pavilion was a beautiful setting for my nieces wedding. The grounds were well taken care of with lovely flowers adorning the area.
The food and service was excellent. Both servers had their hands full but handled it superbly. Our table server was a redhead with tattoos. She really did an incredible job while smiling the entire night. I did notice that the young lady with glasses serving other tables was equally skilled and always smiling. Again, both were the best I have seen compared to bigger wedding venue servers.
We had our military holiday party here. There was maybe 90 people and what seemed like 2 staff people. Only drinks they offered was coffee and water. The staff refused to give my 3 year old son a glass of milk when he asked saying it wasn't in the bundle we bought. Parking lot was not plowed. Not salted. No respect is given to the people who come there.
Had my moms 90th there with 37 guest. Food was good and they where able to keep a separate bar tap for us not every body was a drinker
The venue is amazing and the staff are excellent. You won't go wrong with the Inne.
We attended my cousin's wedding at Inne of the Abington yesterday. While the outdoor space was pretty and the inside room was nice, the service was terrible. The bartender refused to make a Shirley Temple for my daughter as she said she only had cherry juice for "real drinks." She complained but did make her a slightly pink drink with no cherries in it. The woman serving the food was not friendly and seemed to have no people skills. The young people on the staff were much nicer. We were also there the night before for the rehearsal dinner. The food was very good as they provided a buffet with many choices. The appetizers after the ceremony were very good as well. For the wedding dinner, we chose our meals. I ordered the chicken parm and wish I hadn't. It was so overseasoned the bread coating was green with herbs. It was served with a potato instead of pasta which was strange. A few of my cousins ordered the steak. The steak looked great as it was well done. We didn't order that as we thought that prime rib was served rarer. The steak was very thin and looked more like sirloin steak. I wish we ordered the steak! My father ordered the fish and said it was inedible. I would never recommend this place due to the horrible service and poor quality of food. I wouldn't even want to attend another wedding there.
I've been there for numerous events - banquets, parties, weddings. All were exceptional! The food is great, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the hospitality amazing. Highly recommend!
We just had our mother's 90th birthday party here, and they helped to make it an amazing, memorable experience for her. The staff were all so wonderful and gracious, the place was beautiful, food was very good. Nothing but praise!
The Inne was absolutely wonderful for our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and wedding reception. Up until about a month to go for our wedding, we had been dealing with the same individual for all of our needs. However, we noticed that she was no longer the one answering our questions. A woman by the name of Courtney took over for the former employee and let me tell you something, this girl GETS IT. She made our wedding absolutely beautiful and completely seamless. It was because of her that everything went so well. We can't thank her enough and we feel like she deserves top honors for what she does.
The food is good, the service is good, and the venue is beautiful. We did not want to change an outdoor ceremony so we had our ceremony in the Ivy Room and the reception in the ballroom. Both were absolutely gorgeous!
Ignore the other reviews. If you put the time in yourself to make sure your wedding goes well it will. For those who think the Inne will do everything for you and you have no responsibilities look the other way. But let's get real. To get perfection you must work for perfection and not expect it.
The Inne made our wedding great and we will forever be grateful.
One additional star for prompt, polite replies to inquiries. Minus all the rest for homophobia and refusal to hold same sex weddings. Conscientious consumers beware.
I used to work at this "fine" establishment. The kitchen is absolutely filthy. I was appalled at how poorly my co-workers treated each other and especially shocked how the customers were treated. The food wasn't the greatest; reminded me of my husband's cooking (sorry honey). I honestly would NOT recommend booking an event here. I had perspective of what truly happens behind the customer's eyes, and let me tell you first hand, it ain't pretty. Hope this helps. ;)
I m disgusted by the 1 star reviews by people who have never been here simply because they are intolerant of the owner s right to conduct their business in a way that they see fit. You re all heterophobic!
The food was mediocre, the service was rushed, and the help was rude. It was as if they were trying to get rid of us, or maybe they wanted to close up the kitchen. They kept taking food from the tablebefore we were done eating. My husband had a fork in his hand, and they tried to take his plate while he was still eating. They took my cake before I even knew it was at my place. The photographer stood in front of the couple the whole wedding, so all I saw was the back of her head. It would have been nice to actually have seen my cousin get married.
If you want your guests to have a pleasant evening, don't go there.
I have been apart of banquets, private events, catered events, a birthday party, a graduation party, and soon a wedding from The Inne, and every event has been positive, successful, and impressive. Whenever I attend an event there or have had catered food delivered, I know to expect quality and professional service. The Inne offers great pricing and a variety of foods and services. The staff is always there to refill my drink or bring something out right as I need it without me even asking. The owner John Antolick has catered several events I have been apart of, and he always makes sure everything is set up, refilled, and cleaned up. He has also offered leftovers for us to take home! I just appreciate how well the Inne goes above and beyond, and I definitely recommend it for literally any occasion.
Keep in mind when you read reviews it's usually because someone experienced a service that was either extraordinary, or horrible, that the world needs to hear about it. Nobody really takes the time to write the in between - "yeah I got what I paid for and was satisfied with the level of service" type review. That being said, I was married at the Inne of the Abingtons in July of 2014 and their staff did a really great job!
Our wedding was about 140 people, and we sprung for renting the entire place out anyway. Based on some of the reviews above, maybe this was the way to go. This place delivers a facility for you to celebrate your wedding day at a great price compared to many of it's competitors. Keep in mind they are a business with a small staff, and in most of your cases, you're getting married during their busy season. So if something is absolutely imperative that it goes your, or your better half's way, then it's something you'll stay on top of anyway to make sure that it does. I enjoyed my wedding at the Inne of the Abingtons as I am sure you will too. Good luck in your search!
Just there for my first time in the beginning of November. Beautiful inside & out!
Had my wedding at inne of the Abingtons and they put on a beautiful wedding. The wedding planners Kaylee and Jess were so organized and accommodating. They kept checking on myself and my husband which was so nice. They took a potentially stressful day and made everything go so smooth which helped us have a good time. The food was also very good!
My wife and I had looked at this place for our wedding. The price seemed alright but the pictures on their page are very misleading. The "Garden Gazebo" is pretty much in the parking lot, they just do a good job at angling it out on the website photos. Also the Ballroom is very nice, however if we could not hit the guest quota it required we would have to pay for that many people anyways. The other reception rooms weren't so great looking. My overall impression is I am glad we did not choose this venue.
We held the rehearsal dinner for our wedding there several years ago. Now I find out that they discriminate against same-sex couples. I wish I could go back in time and find another venue. Their hatred is very disappointing, and they should be ashamed of themselves.
My fiance and I looked at this place to have our wedding at. At first we looked at the ivy room and it was ok, but I think it's too small for the amount of people that they want to fit into it. We are having around 100 guests and I thought it would be too crammed. John (the owner) then brought us into the ballroom. The room is beautiful, exactly what we wanted. I told John that we want a Saturday wedding in September or October 2015. He tried pushing us for a Friday or Sunday wedding in 2014... I had to tell him more than once that that is not what we want, we are pretty set with a time frame and I don't want my wedding to affect my guests work schedule. He tried giving me all these excuses why Friday and Sunday weddings were great and why I should have one. Then he told me that the minimum for the ballroom on a Saturday is 150. Okay, if that's the policy, that's fine, but tell people that up front, not after they've driven an hour to go look at this room and because you're trying to fill your schedule for 2014 weddings. The outdoor pavilion is pretty, but it is literally right next to the parking lot. Another thing that I didn't like is that I asked John if they have more than one wedding a day and he gave me a 5 minute answer, not answering my question, so I'm under the impression that they do have more than one wedding going on at once.
Excellent surroundings easy too get too great food friendly people for a large get together
This is a wonderful place, highly recommended. The owner is very personal and wants to make sure that the experience is the finest for everyone involved. I had so many positive comments from my guests and quite a few who will be using them also. I highly recommend this place!!!
The owners are amazing! A perfect venue for all events!!
I've been to several events here and they have all been excellent. The food was good. The facility was clean and modern. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend hosting an event here.
Went here for a wedding a few years back, I really really disliked this place. The staff was very unfriendly and the bride to be ended up in tears over a very simple issue. Would NOT recommend.
My wife and I had a wonderful ceremony and wonderful reception in the large ballroom.The food was fantastic and everything went on with out any issues.We highly recommended Stephanie and the Inne of the Abington.
Unfortunately, I was there a few weeks ago for a wedding. John Antolick, the owner, made everyone at the wedding very uncomfortable with his intolerance toward a gay couple who were dancing during one of the more romantic songs. He, at first, interrupted the couple with small talk. Then, when that didn't work, he tried prying the couple apart. At first he was subtle about it, putting his hands over the two women's shoulders and moving them apart. When the couple refused to be split, Antolick began prying them apart, almost tripping one of the women. Little did Antolick know, one of the women was the bride's sister, whom left with her partner because of the embarrassment they felt. This devastated the bride and lead to a premature end to the celebration a magical evening turned sour. Think again before you go to the Inne at the Abingtons.
Our experience with the Inne was amazing from the very first point of contact! Jess was absolutely incredible and our wedding day was absolutely perfect, not a single misstep or mixup. Everyone including ourselves loved the food and room setup. The cost was very affordable for the quality and quantity that you get. Even the outside vendors they work with were incredible! Jess if you re reading this, we cannot thank you enough, it was the best day of our life! The Becker s.
Went to a wedding. Loved the reception room. The food was delicious. Loved every bit of it.
It was a very small space for a wedding of about 100 people. The venue was nice but the hall was very tight on space.
Overall this venue is a decent place to have your wedding. However the reason I am writing this review is because of the owner,John Antolick. I am part of a company that has been in the wedding entertainment business for 30 years. Never have we ever met such an unprofessional venue owner in all of our years. Now to our story about owner John Antolick. We have mobile DJ equipment that has to be brought into the building. Our van is backed up right to the door to start unloading, when John Antolick comes running to the door telling us he is losing all of his air conditioning and the door needs to be closed. Without asking he starts unloading our equipment and starts throwing thousands of dollars worth of equipment inside like they are pillows. We quickly stop this, and John Antolick wants to start a shouting match and tells us if we don't like it we can pack up and leave. Listen, we know it is summer and we do not want to leave the door open longer than we need to. We have been to hundreds of venues and have never come across anyone like this before. Based on other reviews of John Antolick, this seems to be a regular occurence with him. Unprofessional, anger probelems, dishonesty, and a lack of people skills that you definently need in the line of work that he does. I can not recommend anyone to have their wedding or any other special event their because of him. John Antolick, you need anger management and customer service training!!
Great place we had our anniversary there great food and very reasonable.
Went to a few weddings at Inn of the Abingtons, also held a baby shower there. Is a great location. The decor is wonderful. The staff was terrific. Great place to hold a wedding or shower. Would recommend to anyone. Terrific to hear that they refuse to consider other than normal weddings.
Why celebrate love in a place filled with such bad energy and hate? Easy answer...DON'T!
I've been very happy so far during the wedding planning process w/ the Inne - they have been very personable, and no issues so far.
We booked our daughters wedding right before the news broke out that this owner was against the LGBT community.. We attempted to explain to him that in no way could we support a business this since we love family and friends that are gay. He did not want to hear it. My daughter and son in law went there in person to meet with him. He got bipolar, yes then no, they even had a friend that was having a wedding there that he would not transfer the 1000.00 deposit to. While sitting with them, he must of texted 911. The police came and it was quiet, they came in think there was going to be a murder scene. He was a coward and used the police to say he was done dealing with my daughter.
I them took him to small claims court and he used a Christian attorneys from Florida like it was a trial. I thought it would of been like Judge Judy. The judge could not decide and told us we could file it in the County Court house. This all would of cost us more then the deposit to fight.
I handed it over to God, let him handle it.
We ended up paying more, but blessed with an amazing venue, a cater that folks still talk about the great food.
Yesterday was my daughters first anniversary.
When this all happened I started to hear awful stories about the Inne.
Her day was amazing, thank God not at the Inne of the Abingtons
This is where my wife and I had our wedding. We gave the wedding coordinator a BIG headache, but she was an amazing coordinator and dealt with all of the issues that we had. I 100% recommend Inne of the Abingtons!
Beautiful venue. Food was excellent and staff were professional and attentive.
We booked this establishment based off their Web page and hadn't had the chance to visit prior to the event, did all the planning via phone as we were the out of towners. While the decor was charming, the lighting and air conditioning didn't work well. The room got too warm and several lighting fixtures didn't work leaving the gift and cake table in the dark. The food was good but the menu choices available didn't coordinate.
The hor d'oeuvre hour started late and then they pulled the trays early.....all in all the place seemed a little run down. I wouldn't recommend this establishment and you don't wanted to be let down on your special day.
For the most part, the experience of the Inne at the Abington's was good.. The wedding planner worked well with our group, she was very accommodating and the rooms where both wedding and receptions were suitable for the 100 plus number of guests. The parents of the Bride & Groom had provided many decorations to make the wedding day extra special... and it was.
The level of service was satisfactory and the entire staff at the Inne of the Abington's for this December event did a really great job!
The wedding resulted in rental of the entire facility, which works well for a winter season event, which virtually eliminated the need to drive distances on slippery roads.
Most of the attendees commented on how nice the additional decorations made the event . Kudo's for the entire staff at the Inne.
Having used the entire facility, and understanding we would need to remove our decorations, we asked the planner for a time to return to cleanup. The owner, John Antolick had instructed us to return to the Inne at 1:00 pm the following day. We surely could have come earlier, but when we arrived, at 1:00 pm, the Inne was closed/locked, and we could see the owner had simply, literally and carelessly piled our decorations in the front foyer, without any regard for any care our property. We were shocked. All went well, with exception to bad actions of the owner. We did not recall anything we said or did to provoke such careless actions. So if you decide to have your event here, and have your own decorations, negotiate a time to get your stuff out, so it is not carelessly piled at the door the following day. The proprietor likes your money, but cares less for your property.
Beautiful venue, excellent food, great service, nice dance floor had a really good experience they're
