    My Wedding At The Abby

    We got married at The Abby in October and the team was incredible! They were there every step of the way through planning, decorating, to the rehearsal, and wedding day. The staff was so organized, kept us on time, made sure everyone knew where they should be, etc! All the guests were extremely impressed with the food, bar service, and the beauty of the venue! The stylists loved the setup for hair and makeup. It was the perfect day, and we have Kruse to thank for that!!!

    My Wedding At The Abby

    For starters, everything my husband and I imagined for our wedding came true because of Kruse Plaza. Both Annaliese and Lexi were phenomenal. My husband and I let them know what we wanted and they made all that come true. They were patient and were amazing to have throughout this experience. The day of the wedding Patrick and Lexi made sure we were good and treated us like royalty. Lexi went over everything with us to make sure we were ok with the flow. Anytime we had a question or needed some assistance, she was right there for us. She was the best! We couldn't have experienced anything better than this. When I first looked at the website, I fell in love. When we walked around with Patrick and did the tour, I fell in love even more. I knew this was the place I wanted to get married and if we were to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing. If I was able to, Kruse Plaza would have more than 5 stars.

Kruse Plaza will provide tables, up to 250 chairs, and table linens. We also include four sections of pipe and drape, access to the bridal suite, grooms lounge, and cocktail hour space, three planning meetings with an account coordinator, and event director/event staff team on the day of your wedding.
