    The Abbey Salisbury was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the moment we inquired, they were extremely responsive and helpful, often getting back to us within minutes. The space itself is beautiful and well-maintained, with a great indoor and outdoor flow. The team there really went above and beyond, helping us plan every detail of our wedding day in the 30 days leading up to the event. On the day, they made sure everything ran smoothly so we could just enjoy ourselves. I would highly recommend their deluxe package - it was well worth staying the entire weekend there. The Abbey Salisbury made our special day perfect, and I cannot recommend them enough!

    We could not be happier with how our wedding turned out at The Abbey. From touring the property with Lori, to working on decorations with Michelle, to planning the day-of details with Jacqui, the entire experience was seamless. The Abbey staff brought our magical Christmas wedding vision to life, and we are so grateful. We also chose to rent the house on the property for the weekend, which made our time with friends and family even more special. The décor package was an absolute game-changer—our decorations, florals, and every little detail were completely taken care of, making the entire process effortless. We cannot recommend this venue enough!

    The Abbey team was so helpful and lovely to work with! We didn’t have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding - the team took care of everything and was so flexible with our specific decor requests. Huge thank you to Michelle and Jacqui for all your help. We also got the weekend package and stayed at the rectory for the weekend which was so much fun. The house had everything we needed and had ample getting ready space. Highly recommend the Abbey for your wedding - in addition to being a beautiful venue, the all inclusive decor, on-site accommodations, and rehearsal dinner space made the whole weekend stress free.

    Our experience at The Abbey Salisbury was wonderful from start to finish. The tour of the venue with Kristina was very thorough, they were responsive to any questions during the planning process, and the staff (especially Jacqui) were amazing on the wedding day to help with setup and making sure everything ran smoothly! I would 10/10 recommend this venue!!
