Abby's - A Gem for All Occasions (5 stars)

I recently had the pleasure on the visit at in the occasion of an wedding event Abby's, and I was thoroughly impressed! The first thing that struck me was the voluminous space. It felt airy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed and comfortable meal.

What truly sets Abby's apart is the clean and tidy environment. Everything, from the tables to the restrooms, was sparkling clean, creating a truly pleasant atmosphere. The friendly staff added another layer of warmth to the experience. They were attentive, helpful, and always had a smile on their face.

Now, let's talk about the food! Abby's boasts a menu filled with delicious options, and I wasn't disappointed. My meal was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The portions were also generous, leaving me feeling satisfied and happy.

Finally, a huge plus for Abby's is the plethora of parking space. Finding parking can be a nightmare in some areas, but Abby's makes it a breeze.

Overall, I highly recommend Abby's for anyone seeking a delightful event experience. With its spacious and clean interior, friendly staff, and delicious food, it's a true Gem!

Very spacious and great place for any occasion.

A reasonable venue but could do with significant improvement in service delivery eg non-flushing toilets and timely refills of food in adequate quantities. Staff tried their best, however. These problems were personally experienced by myself and a couple of friends from my table. The owners appear to be prickly about any criticism betraying an arrogance which is unwarranted, particularly in the hospitality sector!

We had an excellent experience with our function at The Abbey. The venue is beautiful, with high ceilings and detailed carved wood on the stage (which made for some great photos). The food and service with Daana is consistently excellent - especially the chaat.

We worked with Sanjay and the Daana team on our wedding catering last month and absolutely loved it! From the get-go, Sanjay was very helpful and creative with his menu ideas. They handled a 3 day event (with multiple menus and locations) and unfavourable weather conditions like a pro! Not to mention, the guests were absolutely raving about the food at all events. Sanjay's team was also very warm and hospitable throughout the events. We HIGHLY recommend their catering to everyone and would love to work with them in the future too!

Situated in the heart of beautiful Gold Creek Village, is this breathtaking Abbey. Ive attended concerts over the years, weddings, functions and dinners and even school graduations in this cosy yet grand building. The cherry on the top of course is the exquisite Grand Pipe Organ, the Roslyn Organ, named after L.F Roslyn, who designed it. The Abbey’s website states: “ … delighted to present one of the worlds finest carved masterpieces made of Oak timbers from shipwrecks and Manor houses. The Oak timber is 800–1000 years in age and weighs 40 tonnes. The carving is one of the fewest rare works of art permitted to leave the United Kingdom. It was built in 1911…”
A unique treasure in a unique and intimate setting, I think everyone should experience coming here at least once in their lifetime.

I recently attended a wedding reception at The Abbey, located at O'Hanlon Place in Nicholls, ACT, and I must say it was a truly perfect venue for such a special occasion. Allow me to share my detailed review of this remarkable place:

From the moment I arrived at The Abbey, I was captivated by its picturesque surroundings. Nestled amidst beautiful landscapes, this venue exudes charm and elegance. The Abbey's exterior boasts a stunning architecture that sets the stage for a memorable wedding experience.

Upon stepping inside, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The interior design of The Abbey is simply exquisite, with tasteful decor and attention to detail. The spacious and well-appointed reception area provided ample space for guests to mingle and celebrate, while still maintaining an intimate ambiance.

The wedding reception itself was flawlessly executed. The Abbey's staff demonstrated utmost professionalism and expertise, ensuring that every aspect of the event ran smoothly. From the attentive waitstaff to the meticulous event coordinators, the level of service provided was exceptional. They were courteous, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure the comfort and satisfaction of the guests.

The culinary experience at The Abbey was equally impressive. The food served during the reception was of the highest quality, with a diverse menu that catered to various dietary preferences. The presentation was visually appealing, and the flavors were exquisite. It was evident that great care had been taken in the preparation and execution of the menu, leaving a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.

The Abbey's commitment to providing a perfect wedding experience extended beyond the reception itself. The venue offered stunning outdoor areas, which were ideal for capturing beautiful photographs and creating lasting memories. The well-maintained gardens and scenic backdrops added an enchanting touch to the overall ambiance of the occasion.

One aspect that could further enhance the experience at The Abbey would be the inclusion of additional on-site accommodations. While the venue itself is exceptional, having the option for guests to stay overnight would provide added convenience, especially for those traveling from a distance.

In conclusion, The Abbey in Nicholls, ACT, is undeniably a perfect place for a wedding reception. Its breathtaking surroundings, elegant interior, impeccable service, and outstanding culinary offerings make it a standout venue. I would highly recommend The Abbey to anyone seeking a memorable and unforgettable wedding experience. It truly exceeded my expectations, and I am grateful to have been a part of such a magical celebration.

We had an amazing wake/memorial at the Abbey function centre today. For such a "sad" event everyone said it was a lovely afternoon. The owners and staff were absolutely understanding.
The florals, decorations and design were perfect.
I want to thank Andrew, his mother and the staff for a lovely afternoon.
You have made a sad event so memorable. Thankyou.
