Abbey Weddings FAQ

Yes. At a minimum, a Day-Of Coordinator is required for your Wedding. You will have an Abbey Wedding Catering Sales Manager assigned, who will provide all the wedding details for the resort up until the wedding day. Your Wedding Sales Manager is responsible for everything that specifically relates to the resort. Our focus is to make sure that everything is set up according to the signed contract. As our responsibility lies with our venue and staff, we are not responsible for putting out place cards, family photographs, party favors, etc. We do not coordinate transportation and are not able to be with the wedding party all day. If your Day-Of Coordinator is not on the Preferred Vendor List, they must meet with your Wedding Catering Sales Manager between 14 and 45 days before the wedding.

Your Food & Beverage (F&B) minimum is determined by your Wedding Sales Manager and is based on the anticipated number of guests, your anticipated F&B spend, as well as the date you are considering. The F&B minimum is the amount required to spend on F&B on the day of your wedding. Anything that is non-food or beverage related (rented decorations, additional lighting, upgraded table settings, delivery fees, etc) does not go towards the F&B minimum. Your F&B minimum must be reached before service charges and taxes are applied.
