At The Abbington, we believe every event is more than just a gathering—it’s a moment in time where memories are made, cherished, and celebrated. As a family-owned venue since 2002, we’ve had the honor of hosting countless weddings, celebrations, and corporate events, and each one holds a special place in our hearts.
Here’s why we love what we do and why The Abbington is the perfect backdrop for your next memory-making event:
A Space That Inspires Awe
From the moment you step into our 20,000‑square‑foot banquet space, you’ll feel the grandeur that sets Abbington apart. Our 5,500‑square‑foot foyer and 15,000‑square‑foot ballroom welcome guests with sophistication. Whether you’re planning an intimate cocktail hour or a gala for up to 1,300 guests, our ballrooms can be tailored to your vision. We’re proud to be a banquet hall in Glen Ellyn that combines elegance with flexibility, making us the perfect choice for weddings, birthday parties and corporate events throughout the west Chicago suburbs.
Customizable Experiences for Every Occasion
No two celebrations are ever the same. Our experienced planners offer customizable catering packages, floral arrangements and wedding cakes to reflect your unique style. With state‑of‑the‑art audiovisual equipment and private rooms available, our wedding packages and corporate meeting options are designed to delight guests from Chicago to Naperville. Choose from:
- Elegant plated dinners or interactive station menus prepared in our on‑site kitchen
- Flexible beverage packages, from champagne toasts to premium bar service
- Enhancements such as specialty lighting, custom linens and late‑night snacks
Convenience Meets Comfort
Located just 30 minutes from O’Hare International Airport and a short drive from several hotels, The Abbington is as convenient as it is beautiful. With on-site parking for over 400 vehicles, your guests will feel welcomed from the moment they arrive.
Award-Winning Excellence
We are humbled to be recognized among the top wedding venues in Illinois. Abbington has received “Best Weddings 2024” and “The Knot’s Best of Weddings” for fifteen consecutive years. This accolade reflects the passion and care we pour into every event. Our recent Best Weddings 2024 award demonstrates our continued commitment to excellence.

Our culinary team, led by Executive Chef Nick Landeweer, crafts menus that delight the senses. From decadent hors d’oeuvres to multi‑course dinners, every dish is prepared on‑site using fresh ingredients. We gladly accommodate dietary preferences and special requests—whether you’re hosting a corporate luncheon or a vegan wedding reception.
