Aberdeen Manor Ballroom and Event Center Reviews
Brittany Eder(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-12-2016 Aberdeen Manor was the PERFECT venue. What I liked best is that it is essentially a one stop shop. Our wedding coordinator (Lauren) took care of all of the details and made the whole wedding planning process so so easy. All of the staff was extremely professional and helpful. Our coordinator was great about staying in touch and responding quickly to any questions I had. We were able to have our wedding invitations done in their shop and they turned out great! They also offer tuxedo rentals, place card printing, they have items available for centerpieces, card boxes, cake stands, specialty linens, flower girl baskets, jewelry, garters.. everything! We had our ceremony in the chapel and it was beautiful. Since it was Christmas, they had their holiday decor up in the chapel and the ballroom and it really is a nice touch. The reception was also perfect. Their lighting options and decor options are beautiful. You definitely get what you pay for and I do not regret any of the decor or lighting options I added to my package. Our coordinator took care of all of the details the night of and it went so smoothly. The service staff was wonderful and I have had many family/friends compliment how well the service was. I definitely recommend this venue to anyone getting married! Reviewed on 28-12-2016

We had our wedding at Aberdeen Manor and they made our experience amazing! Kara (our assigned Event Coordinator) made the planning process as easy as possible for us and was always there to answer our questions. The wedding ceremony and reception was beautiful and we had an amazing time. :) Reviewed on 26-09-2023
Niki Stuebe(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-03-2023 Aberdeen Manor just made sense! The idea that you can get married in either the chapel or garden and then walk across the parking lot to the wedding reception is a wonderful experience! Our coordinator was Lisa and she helped us so much with every single step of planning our wedding! Every question that we had was answered in a timely manner! Aberdeen took the guesswork out of planning a wedding! We were married in the chapel since our wedding was in March and everything was beautiful! We had an effortless planning experience, and the evening went very well! The entire staff from the coordinators to the servers was terrific! I highly recommend booking Aberdeen Manor for your wedding venue! Reviewed on 15-05-2023
Kelly Botts(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-09-2022 Aberdeen Manor ended up being our first and only venue we looked at. It had everything we needed. I loved the idea that we were the only couple onsite the entire day. We weren't sharing the venue like some other large banquet halls. They are so quick to accommodate any needs, including changing your ceremony from outside to inside the morning of. The place is gorgeous and can fit a very good amount of guests.Megan was our coordinator, and I HIGHLY recommend her. She was so patient and worked on every detail with us. This was both of our first marriage after all, so we didn't have the experience. She was able to visually show us various designs and provide many options. She walked through nearly every step to ensure we had everything in order and worked with our vendors to keep them in line and on schedule. She is your timekeeper that day and handles absolutely anything that arises. She was the ultimate coordinator. Reviewed on 11-01-2023
Elizabeth Koontz(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-12-2022 Aberdeen was an AMAZING wedding venue! The staff is so helpful during the planning process and attentive the night of the wedding!

Charity Drake(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2022 Our wedding was everything we dreamt of it being and more! Lisa-our coordinator was amazing and very fast at responding to all emails and any questions we had. My dad almost ordered the wrong tux color and Lisa actually caught it and fixed for us. We have no complaints of any kind. Lisa took upon herself to bring out water to the wedding party due to it being a humid while we were taking our wedding photos. Only thing we would recommend that we heard from some guests is that there be appetizers served (if purchased like we did) to the wedding party when taking photos. Some of the wedding party did not get any. Other than that, everything was great and I would recommend this venue! Lisa Allen is amazing! Reviewed on 21-10-2022
Lauren Knapp(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-08-2022 I had my wedding in August 2022. Aberdeen was beautiful and the perfect choice for us. They do a lot of things \"in house\" such as catering, decor, and suits for the groom/groomsmen. This was huge for us as I was at school out of state and we were able to do a lot directly through them. (no renting tables/chair/linens) They will do all of the set-up/tear-down which was another thing we were looking for. They were also very communicative and easy to work with, with multiple \"check-ins\" and meetings. Our coordinator, Megan, was very kind and easy to work with. She answered all of my questions quickly and helped to walk me through every part of the process! They can get busy during certain times of the year with multiple weddings per weekend or even 2 on the same day. We still felt special by Megan and the entire staff. It all depends on what you are looking for and what is important to you! Overall I highly recommend Aberdeen to anyone looking in the NWI area! Reviewed on 07-09-2022
Victoria M(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-06-2022 My husband and I had our wedding ceremony at the Aberdeen, and this venue is honestly more than we could have ever dreamed of for our special day. The wedding was absolutely beautiful and just as we had envisioned. If you do book with the Aberdeen, I absolutely recommend working with Megan as your Wedding Planner! She was outstanding and made sure that she knew exactly what we pictured beforehand to ensure that we would have the perfect day. With a change in our wedding plans months before the wedding, Megan was so kind, sincere, and accommodating to our needs. Having our wedding at the Aberdeen made my husband and I feel like we didn't have to worry about much else than enjoying the day. (Also, for outdoor weddings, there is a beautiful garden with lots of greenery in the summer!). I 100% recommend this beautiful venue! Reviewed on 24-06-2022
Heather Kelver(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-04-2022 Our experience with Aberdeen was everything we could have hoped for and more.

Jessica Clark(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-01-2021 Aberdeen Manor was nothing but the best all around. With having a wedding in the middle of a pandemic where plans can change at the flip of a switch they made my fairytale wedding still come true. With the parameters we had to follow they still went above and beyond to make the day happen. I can’t even put into words how wonderful not only my wedding coordinator, Lisa, was but the owners were equally amazing with making sure everything went smooth. The communication between everyone with me was phenomenal. Responses were always thorough and fast. I was never sitting around waiting for an answer and I had a lot of questions. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with all the details that Aberdeen handles it made wedding planning a breeze and enjoyable. Reviewed on 26-02-2021

Our coordinator, Kelsea, was the BEST!!!! From the start, she was so great, helpful, fun, energetic, and so so kind!! After touring Aberdeen, we knew we needed to have our wedding there not only because we loved the venue, but we loved Kelsea! We got married in the chapel and had our reception in the ballroom. They helped make it exactly how we envisioned our big day to be!! We talk about our wedding with our friends and family every single day, and wish we could relive our perfect day.

Audrey Rowe(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2019 This venue is amazing. Megan was our wedding planner, she met with about 4 different times to cover details surrounding the wedding and she was available via email or phone if there were questions. Picking the food was a pleasure, there was an invitation for a tasting with plenty of options to select. On wedding day, the staff was amazing. We arrived early for pictures and Megan welcomes all those involved, the servers introduced themselves at dinner. Everyone was able to relax due to the Aberdeen team working well together. Aberdeen Manor is a venue to consider. Reviewed on 25-10-2019

The planner assigned to us, Lisa, was simply amazing. She was so detailed and so helpful! So many brides are beyond stressed planning their weddings, but I did not feel that way...

Stacy Barrett(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-07-2019 Truth be told the Aberdeen was not our original choice. Our venue burned down shortly before our wedding. Their slogan is something like \"we only need one chance\" and let me tell you that is true. We gave them a chance and it was the best thing that we ever did. I think that the Aberdeen turned out to be better than our original venue. Here's why you should give them a chance:-it's extremely clean. They've been in business for years and years but the place looks IMMACULATE. You have to see it to understand what I mean.-price. Their prices are transparent and fair. We were given ballpark invoices along the way and weren't hit with any secret fees at the end.-it's family owned. How cute is that?? From the bar tenders to the chef and everyone in between. Many of the employees have worked there for like 20 years which tells you that the place is quality.-indoor/outdoor space. We had our ceremony outside because the weather was kind but in the event of heat or rain they allow you to use their beautiful chapel. In addition the guests had access to the garden/patio during the reception.-the food. We booked the place without having tasted it because it was so last minute. We loved it and so did our guests.-setup/teardown is included! It is one less thing that you have to worry about and pay for.-flexibility. You have 1000's of different options. You can decorate the ballroom as you wish and include or take out what you want and don't want (lighting, centerpieces, decorations, etc.)-Kelsea. You don't know her yet but you should. She was an amazing wedding coordinator and we can't say enough good things about her. Lisa and Megan and several others helped us out as well. They are all great!If you haven't booked your venue yet just go see the place and talk to them. Reviewed on 02-08-2019

Megan is very knowledgeable with event planning and has great relationships with vendors. She asks the questions you don't think to ask and is incredibly organized and resourceful. I especially appreciated her calming presence throughout the whole process. The day of the wedding, I was stress-free because I knew Megan was behind the scenes working it all out for me.

Jatika Expose Stewart(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-11-2018 ABERDEEN was perfect me and my husband's wedding. Lisa was such a joy to work with. From day one we were comforted knowing that everything would be taken care of. Chuck went out of his way to customize the altar with drapes and lighting for me as heaven was a part of our wedding theme. The decor, food, hospitality, everything was perfect. We truly had a wedding production with all of our special effects and Aberdeen throwing in some snow and extra ceiling decor. Everything was perfect. It is a one stop shop and DEFINITELY WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY. Definitely include all that's free and included on your day. We got married 11/11/18. We took pics in the garden and around the chapel. I gave details about my grandmother's angel table remembering her and Lisa and the Aberdeen staff set up her table in both our ceremony and reception. I didn't have to worry about anything. We got the grooms' tuxedos from Aberdeen, so much easier. They did our place cards. The food was great. I'd recommend the steak and the cranberry crusted chicken. We opted for cranberry on the side. I could not have imagined getting married anywhere else in Indiana. My husband and I live in Chicago and wedding prices are just astronomical. Our family lives in Indiana and Aberdeen was perfect. We got our chapel ceremony and reception hall...the only wedding there. I wanted it all in one place with 2 different atmospheres. It was perfect. We had 250 guests. The only thing I would change is extending our reception by 1hour. Our guests had so much fun and before we knew it, the party was over. #EleventhHeaven #StevieJDay was perfect thanks to Aberdeen and Lisa. We love you Reviewed on 23-01-2019
Jasmine Carrington(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-12-2018 I’m really glad my husband and I chose to go with Aberdeen for our wedding and reception!

Crystal Hinkel(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-11-2018 I am so glad I chose Aberdeen for our wedding ceremony and reception. Both were set up absolutely beautifully. The people there really do care about you as a person. They make sure everything is perfect and the way you vision it and make things right ASAP if they don’t. They even went above and beyond what my vision was and made it look absolutely beautiful. Gina was our coordinator and she went absolutely above and beyond! She was new there and was an absolute expert. We asked a lot of her to make our day perfect and she did every single thing without question. She really did become a friend. Trey was amazing! He was in the ballroom before the ceremony and I went in just to look at everything and soak in all the beauty. He was so generous and kind. He also walked me over to the chapel for our ceremony. It had just rained, so a couple of my bridesmaids were ready to hold up my train across the lot. But, one of the servers came and held my train across the chapel. It was absolutely surprising and generous. The ceremony went great! There was a wedding the day before mine, so they gave me the option of having the backdrop for no additional cost. I appreciated this so much because this gave a great touch. The sound system was great in the ceremony and everything went so smoothly. I did feel a little pressed for time for pictures in between the ceremony and reception because it was highly suggest or required to have cocktail hour right away. We could have taken pictures before, but I had a lot of bridesmaids so the entire morning was booked with hair and make up, and my husband didn’t want a first look. The ceremony was absolutely STUNNING! The coordinator will have you bring your decorations before the wedding and they will decorate for you; or at least I did since there was a wedding before mine. I had so many decorations and there were a lot left over. All the workers went out of their way to use them in other places in the manor and made it absolutely beautiful! My husband surprised me before dinner. We had a semi-Disney themed wedding...we are both teachers and big kids inside. He set up a little choreographed start to our dinner. The servers did a little skit to the song “Be Our Guest.” It was simple, and just an elegant touch. I absolutely loved it!! It was one of my favorite parts of the night. I believe thanks goes to Payton and Trey for setting that up! :)The food was DELICIOUS! We still have comments a week after our wedding on how good the food was. And to be honest, we couldn’t pick a potato so we asked our coordinator Gina for a suggestion. She said the regular Aberdeen mashed potatoes were popular and I am so glad we went with that. The coordinators are so knowledgeable there. The only thing we had a little trouble with was decorations. There was little decoration included, and depending on what you want, it can add up pretty quick. All I asked for was a backdrop behind the head table. The place STILL looked absolutely stunning with only that and the decoration included so don’t feel like you have to spend too much on added things. This experience has wanted me to possibly pursue being a wedding planner. They made he entire experience so much fun and enjoyable! They are so organized and give a checklist so you don’t forget important things. I wouldn’t have wanted my wedding anywhere else and definitely suggest Aberdeen to any bride if you want the perfect wedding! You won’t regret it! Reviewed on 27-11-2018

Patricia Stellfox(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-07-2017 We had our wedding at the Aberdeen chapel. It was pretty and accommodated all of our guests which earns it the three stars, but we had a few complaints as to how it was run. First, we were switched between three different wedding coordinators while we were working with Aberdeen. Then, we showed up for our pre-scheduled tour and none of the coordinators were free to do it... even though they scheduled it ahead of time with us. Luckily, another worker was there and took us around the grounds. We were told that we had to be on time for our 5:00 rehearsal because it would end promptly at 6, but then the coordinator was running late! She still kicked us out at 7, despite the fact that she was running about 15 minutes late and the chapel was locked when we arrived, with our wedding party waiting outside. On top of that, on the wedding day we started on time but were actually kicked out before we could do a receiving line because there was another wedding arriving immediately after ours. For people who stress punctuality enough to kick us off the premises, they were sure sloppy with our tour and rehearsal, so I can't believe they were so strict on our actual wedding day. Not flexible at all unless it suits them. Reviewed on 13-01-2018

Tami Wasowski(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-09-2018 I held my daughter's bridal shower at Aberdeen. Words cannot express how perfect everything was. During the planning for the shower, which also included finding a wedding venue, we actually became frustrated because it seemed as though every idea we had was \"shot down\" and all we seemed to hear was \"No, we cannot do that\". As anyone who is planning a wedding knows, this causes immense stress on the bride and all those involved in planning (especially mother of the bride). Aberdeen was totally different. Not only did we not hear \"no\" but we heard the statement \" we will do whatever you want us to do\" . The staff is absolutely phenomenal. We tried to book the reception at Aberdeen, but the date was taken. Luckily, we were able to book her ceremony at Aberdeen Chapel, so we can still enjoy the benefits that the staff and management offers. The shower was absolutely perfect in every single way, food was fabulous, and complements were given all day long. I would very very highly recommend Aberdeen for all your shower and wedding needs.

Michele Marshall(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-09-2016 Our experience at Aberdeen was memorable. Megan and her entire team made us feel welcome, and we were assisted every step of the way in planning our wedding day to be exactly what we envisioned. Megan was responsive to emails and phone calls, and answered the plethora of questions we continually threw at her, all with a calmness and grace that was in line with what Aberdeen promotes. We never felt rushed to make decisions or be pressured into making an uncomfortable choice in terms of decorations or food.The hall was decorated beautifully for our reception, and the ceremony - transitioned to the chapel in lieu of the garden area due to the rain - went smoothly. The bistro filet, cranberry chicken, prosciutto wrapped asparagus, and mac & cheese bites were delicious. The smallest details were taken care of by the team, and we were able to enjoy our day... which is really what it's all about. Thank you Aberdeen :) Reviewed on 03-01-2017

One might think that you are treated like just another number considering the amount of weddings Aberdeen has but this is the farthest thing from the truth.

Brittany Kouris(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-10-2015 I know this is SEVERAL months late but I did want to take the time to thank the AMAZING people at Aberdeen and rave about the venue a little bit. My husband and I were married in October and chose Aberdeen as the place it will all go down. Not only was the venue BEAUTIFUL, we loved how the chapel and reception hall were literally across the street from each other so that cocktail hour could start minutes after the ceremony ended. I can't tell you how many people came up to Craig and I after the wedding and commented on how elegant and gorgeous everything was. I also had people telling us that the staff at Aberdeen were so attentive and helpful. It rained a tad on our wedding day (good luck right??) but the guests stated that the staff walked with them and held umbrellas over their heads while they walked from the chapel to the reception hall. They also helped me and did the same, so there weren't any makeup/hair disasters (phew!).\rSpeaking of the staff, I want to single one person out who helped us in SO many ways; Megan. Megan was our wedding coordinator and the most amazing person ever I can't literally say enough about her. Starting from the first meeting we had with her, I knew that she had everything under control. Megan was so organized and detailed it actually calmed me down (I'm a tad control-freakish). I had so many weird questions that came up that I asked Megan and she responded to my emails almost instantly. She really helped take a lot of pressure off of the planning in the beginning. On rehearsal day, our minister actually showed up almost an hour late. Megan didn't miss a beat, she walked everyone through the rehearsal herself and stood in the place of the minister so that everyone knew where they were going (crisis averted!). On wedding day, Every time we needed something Megan was RIGHT there to help. My sister was having trouble bustling my dress and we were fighting with it for a while before the rehearsal started. Megan happened to come into the chapel at that exact time and helped bustle the dress! Literally nothing (that I can point to) went wrong on wedding day and I truly believe it is because the Aberdeen staff is SO well educated and planned in this scene that they know exactly what to do. Guests even told me how great the bartenders were and how nice everything flowed together. I can't say enough about Aberdeen Manor. I am so happy and grateful that Craig & I chose this as our wedding venue. The food, staff, hall, chapel were all top notch. Aberdeen made the greatest day of our lives even better than we could have imagined.\rThank you thank you thank you all,\rBrittany & Craig Kouris Reviewed on 06-02-2016

I have heard great things about Aberdeen, so when I was invited to a wedding there I was very excited! However, my experience as a guest was horrible.

I feel like Aberdeen does offer a lot for the price, however I would recommend considering a Friday wedding or fall wedding if you are planning on having under 200 guests because of the minimum that you are required to meet. I had 130guests and found it hard to meet the 8000 minimum on food and drink. A wedding out of season or not on a Saturday would require a much smaller minimum to meet, but this was a planning mistake on my part, and not soemthing at the fault of Aberdeen. The food was amazing, and the decoration were beautiful I did like how I could bring in my own decoration and have the wedding coordinators decorate everything to my liking. All of the workers were very professional and friendly, and made sure that everyone was happy. \rThe only item that was a bit upsetting was the time that we were allowed to take pictures. We were only allowed one hour before the ceremony, and this is not much time. Also, I felt very rushed for pictures after the ceremony.

(Everything is done in shades of Grey within the ballroom, we viewed several places with bold colored walls, which for a wedding venue i think is tacky.) \r\rDenna coordinated our entire event, and everything was perfect. She was incredibly organized, and didn't miss a single detail. All of the minor issues we had the day of were non Aberdeen related. Denna walked us through everything, making sure dresses were purchased on time, assuring that I kept consistent in my color choices, and with the overall look I was going for.

After having been yanked on a leash by the Michigan City, IN venue, The Way, just to have them tell us they couldn't host our wedding date. My Husband and I decided to take a look at the Aberdeen. I was floored. I was so glad we didn’t stay with the other venue. They are nothing compared to the Aberdeen! The Aberdeen didn't have the original date we were looking for, or any Saturday's open (Bummer) but we decided to pick one in their 'off' season dates, as well as a Friday date. Picking one in their off season dates meant there was a discount off of their rental fee and even a little more of a discount for it being a Friday! SWEET! When you choose to have your event at the Aberdeen, you get the Aberdeen. This means you get full range of their grounds and staff for your event, even their on site Chapel. You even get to use any of their select center pieces for FREE! They have several different add ons you can utilize as well. We chose to do uplighting around the room, as well as the crystal curtan behind the head table. You really can make it your own. They go through all the details with you when you sit down. You can even meet with them however many times you want to, or email. They make sure that when your big day arrives, that everything is perfect and stress free. They even have a snow machine to make it snow for your first dance, which was also included only for the first dance. If you wanted to use it any other time, it's an additional fee. We used that for our first dance, and our pictures turned out AMAZING! I'm very big about cleanliness, so when we toured the grounds, I asked to see the kitchen. They were surprised I wanted to see it, but obliged. Let me tell you......That kitchen looked like it was just built! EXTREMLY clean. It was like in a movie where everything sparkled! Ha-ha. They even explained the process they have on delivering the meals. They said that it should take only about 45 minutes to run through all the courses for dinner from start to finish. They really know what they are doing. I can go on and on about what they offer and how they made us feel like family from day 1 all the way to even after the wedding, but it would be much easier for you to just go there and speak with them. They are all wonderful people there, Megan especially. All the work she did while pregnant and even after her baby's birth.

Ashlee Buford(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-10-2011 The staff at Aberdeen are amazing! They help you step by step along the way to create a perfect venue for your wedding day!

Allison Snyder(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-09-2011 The title sums it up. The venue itself was beautiful! There were gardens for an outdoor ceremony or a chapel in case it rained. The ballroom was gorgeous! I would have booked in a heartbeat except the beautiful venue couldn't make up for the pushy staff. They gave me very little freedom in planning our wedding day. They were very pushy about doing photos with my groom prior to the ceremony which was NOT an option. I didn't want him to see me before the ceremony but they insisted \"this is the best way to do it.\" I wanted to have my ceremony & reception there and they were not open to the idea of have photos done during cocktail hour of the reception. The more I tried to explain myself, the more I found myself defending the type of wedding I wanted. I did not think I needed to do this. At the end of the day, if you are ok with some one telling you how your wedding must be, then it's worth. The venue itself is gorgeous! Reviewed on 30-10-2011
Kristin Trimble(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-09-2011 I had my September wedding at Aberdeen Manor. The whole process went so smoothly and stress-free. The staff is amazing and is so genuine and will do everything they can to make sure your day is perfect. The hall and garden are also just so beautiful. Many of my friends complimented on how fancy the hall was and how intimate my reception felt. Aberdeen really knows how to plan a wedding and fill in all the tiny details so everything is perfect and goes smoothly. I highly recommend Aberdeen to all my friends. If you go with them I suggest booking them early because their dates go fast because it will truly be an unforgettable night with Aberdeen taking care of your wedding. Reviewed on 21-10-2011

Kristin Fisher(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-06-2011 Aberdeen Manor made my wedding dreams come true! It was an excellent venue, had terrific dining, and superb wedding coordinators. Having my summer wedding at Aberdeen provided me with peace of mind! I'm so glad I made the decision to have it there. Schedule an appointment to visit their beautiful chapel, garden, and ballroom! The owners are so welcoming and really work hard to make it \"your day!\" I went there numerous times to visit and participate in the tastings, and the staff was always very accomodating. I was very pleased with my overall experience and can't wait to attend another event there! Reviewed on 15-07-2011
Carrie Galka(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-06-2011 Aberdeen was more than we could ask for. They are pricey, but after pricing around other vendors, it came out to be about the same and the venue was just beautiful. I was so relaxed on my wedding day because everything is taken care of. We had a tornado come into Valparaiso...but we still were able to move the ceremony inside without any problems. It was such a smooth transition. It is perfect for those that want to get married outside, but need that backup plan just in case it rains (or tornados come!) Reviewed on 13-07-2011

Kristin Small(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-12-2010 I had my wedding ceremony and reception at Aberdeen Manor on December 30, 2010 and it couldn’t have been more perfect! I had less than three months to plan our wedding so it was very important to me to find a one-stop-shop for all my needs and Aberdeen was definitely the place for that! \r\r\rEvery step of the way owner Denna Fyock was there to help me plan the details. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and magical wedding day. The Aberdeen Manor team exceeded our expectations and my husband and I couldn't be more thrilled! All of the Aberdeen Manor staff were terrific - professional, friendly and always extremely helpful! Everyone especially loved the awesome bartender!\r\rAND, the food! The food was to die for! Everyone commented on how delicious and beautifully presented the food was!\r\rThe chapel (upstairs and down) looked gorgeous and the cocktail room, foyer & reception rooms were absolutely STUNNING!!! Like a dream or the cover of a stylish bridal magazine :)\r\rMy Aberdeen wedding was the fairytale day I had always dreamed of! Reviewed on 11-02-2011
