Have you ever asked yourself what makes a perfect Wedding?
A Wedding is supposed to be breathtaking. A Wedding is supposed to be one of the best days of your life. A Wedding is supposed to bring together new families and old friends. A Wedding is supposed to inspire everyone that attends the special day. A Wedding is supposed to have a backdrop decorated by the sky. A Wedding is supposed to be at one with nature. A Wedding is supposed to be emotional. A Wedding is supposed to be a symbol of Love. A Wedding is supposed to be romantic. But most of all, A Wedding is supposed to be unforgettable.
If all of these things are what you think a Wedding should be.....then you need to discover Abilena Plantation. These are the reasons we opened Abilena. John and Mary Ann Williams

"The Riverview Terrace"
"The Terrace" Perfect for cocktail hour, rehearsal dinners, and poolside parties. The Terrace allows Weddings, Receptions, or Events to take place beside the pool and overlooking the majestic Neuse River!! This area can be seat up to 120 people for Ceremonies. This space can also hold a tent of up to 20x40 if needed. Perfect for Rehearsal Dinners, cocktail hour, dancing, etc.
#3 The formal living room and the adjoining rooms in the mansion can have intimate indoor weddings of up to 30-35 people. This room is also used for part of the indoor receptions. The mansion can be used for indoor receptions of 60 people seated and can hold up to 100 people standing for informal events.
"The Carriage House"
The Carriage House "The Carriage House" is the perfect setting for outdoor weddings and receptions, but with the safety of a roof and sides that can be added if needed. The main space is a 40' x 40' pavilion with a 20x40 enclosed room for bar, food setup, and wedding cake. We built this building because nobody should attempt to have a Wedding or Reception in a tent!! The Carriage House can be used for rehearsal dinners, cocktail hour, receptions, or even ceremonies in case of rain. It is the perfect riverfront reception site.
The kitchen is very modern and can be used by the guests.
Every event includes parking assistance and a golf cart shuttle during the wedding and reception.
