My husband and I had a come & go wedding reception at Carmella's for approximately 75 guests and LOVED every minute of it! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff were friendly and ensured that everyone had a fun time.
Our menu consisted of light appetizers, including charcuterie boards that were beautiful. Guests purchased their own drinks. Everything was perfect and we highly recommend!
