We had a wedding in September of 2023. We loved Carriage Greens. The outside patio off the ballroom was a hit for our wedding allowing people to hang out outside and talk. The food was great, and several guests raved to us about it afterwards. ...
We had our ceromony outside and have great photos from multiple spots outside. Carriage Greens also has space for a full blow up photo booth, and highly reccomend getting one for your event. We didn't end up using the foursome of golf but enjoyed the venue a lot. There was miscommunication over the end time but we talked with Heidi and understood that newer staff were confused.
Spectacular wedding afternoon and evening at Carriage Greens! My family was welcomed upon arrival so graciously. Ballroom was just stunning, so airy, bright, glamorous but most of all plenty of space to move around easily. Love the traditional...
setting with huge windows overlooking the country club. Even a walk out balcony patio with strung lights for the evening gave us more great pictures.
Food was absolutely delicious. Plates were presented with an artistic flair. Wedding party was thrilled with comments about the food quality, service and friendly service staff.
We went through the night with music, dancing and a charming bartender and staff taking care of us. Excellence!
Heidi and her staff helped make our special day great! The room looked amazing, and the food was spectacular! Everyone was very helpful and kind.
Any questions?
It's ok for wedding days to be stressful, but it should be due to the wedding venue. So much to say, with so little patience to write because I want to just put it in the past.
To start, we were a "pandemic" couple, so we had to change our d...
ate a few times. They were very good about that, but at one point we had no date set because of the uncertainty. Heidi, who is the planner, hounded us for months to gather a payment on a date we did not have solidified. No other vendor did this because they knew we were in a pandemic, and we had no solid date. Also, Heidi kept asking for cash payments. She told us it was so they can avoid paying taxes on the income. I couldn't believe what I heard and read in my texts, and maybe that should have been the first red flag of a shady place. However, it was fine in my book, as long as that was the worst of it.
The day of the wedding, we had heavy rainfall. We were in the bridal suite getting ready when we noticed flooding began pretty rapidly, and that was at the very start of the rainfall. We panicked and were moved to another suite, which also began to flood quickly. We were confused as to why it was flooding so quickly and easily, and someone from the staff told us this happened many times before, and they have literally done nothing to make sure it doesn't happen again. We should have known, because as soon as we stepped foot in the bridal floor it smelled so musty and moldy. The owner said it was an act of God and they can't control this, but I think we can all agree something can be done. We live down the way and experienced same rainfall and not a drop of flooding. The worker came clean about it and I'm glad he did, because that just shows that they will not invest anything to prevent it from happening again. The groom and groomsmen were forced to get ready in Heidi's office right by the entrance, so we have no pictures of them in the tiny office and people were looking in while they were changing. Ridiculous.
Then, during the reception, the appetizers were being passed out. We had meatballs on the menu, and our son's fiancé bit into one, and it had a ring cooked into it. A man's ring. Like an actual wedding band. She chipped her tooth and everyone at the table and around us looked over as she shouted out. This meant they cooked without gloves or in just an unsanitary environment where things can fall in, like this man's RING. Her table and about 5 others around her did not eat the dinner. They were pretty grossed out, so someone from each table ran to a McDonald's to grab some food. So about $90 per plate per table to waste on that gross screw up. Just insane.
We asked for some sort of restitution from Heidi and the owner, Brian, but they blew us off. We went back and forth via email and phone many times, and at one point he stopped replying at all, saying "I do not run the banquets. I don't collect money from banquets . I don't buy and sell food or liquor. I own the building and lease the food and beverage operations out." This reply came after a month of no response, which was really odd. He is the one that asked me to give him an expectation of what we wanted as restitution, and said he was responsible as the building owner, but out of nowhere, no support.
Just do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. Trust us.
Response from the Vendor on 09/09/2021
I am responding to this review because you know very well the TRUTH of what transpired that day. The only thing that I do accept full responsibility for, is the mans ring( which has NEVER) happened before- and I did apologize to you personall...
y and asked you to please have the young lady call me so I could remedy the situation- but she never called and to be perfectly honest, the ring was given to our server and there was no mention of a chipped tooth.
Never the less, You were severely delinquent in making your payments as this wedding was originally booked in Feb 2019 with several changes of dates on your part which I graciously accommodated and when I kept asking for some type of payment towards your special day, you kept telling me the same thing--your fiance would drop off a check next week. 32 next weeks went by and I put a hold on your file due to the pandemic etc.. and did not pressure you as I worked with all my banquet families to assist them during a crazy pandemic and afterwards time!
The final payment as it is written in the contract is due in either cash or check and the decision is yours.
I also should mention when I did call you for a payment in the spring as you had only put down 1,000( normally 2,000) to book your date etc and made no payments until 2 years later( this Spring) when you gave me Credit Card over the phone and later disputed the charges??? You had a beautiful wedding, delicious food and your guests had a great time!! You even invited me and a Bartender to go with you and your new husband to a casino riverboat??
Regardless, I did enjoy meeting you and your husband and we put our best foot forward like we always do!! I am sorry you attempted to use the Torrential Rains as a reason for restitution--Even your credit card company agreed and recredited the amounts you attempted to dispute after I sent them all the paperwork.
Never the less, We wish you and your husband a lifetime of love and happiness!!
We held our wedding reception here last Saturday, Aug. 21, 2021 and we had a phenomenal time! Ms. Heidi (the banquet manager) did an amazing job in maintaining the place well! The Bridal Suite and the Groom Suite (2 separate rooms) was very cle...
an, beautiful, and has a strong A/C. It was hot last Saturday and me and my wedding party ended up getting cozy in the suites because it was very comfortable there.( the DJ needed to call us to remind us of our introductions haha)! Loved the huge life-size mirror and those fancy and comfortable couch! There's also a lockers for everyone and the bridal suite has a lock code to secure your belongings. Ms. Heidi suggested what would look good in our wedding and what ways we can save some bucks for decorating our reception. She helped us a LOT in planning the wedding reception and she has been very nice to us the entire time since the beginning ( January 2020). It was very easy to talk to her and she understood the situation when we had to re-scheduled the wedding from last year 2020 to this year 2021. due to pandemic. We saw in our own eyes how the place improved so much under Ms.. Heidi's management and we are very lucky that the venue was under her total supervision on our wedding day.. My husband and I loved the food and so all of our guests! Kudos to Chef Martin and sous chef Jesus! We received a lot of good feedback from our guests about the food and the service they received from the most attentive and caring staff of Carriage Greens! We are very thankful that we made the right decision to do our wedding reception here. There's a lot of good scenic view outside too for romantic pictures. I loved the willow trees and the golf course! They let us use the golf carts too.
Before the wedding we had few trips here during regular brunch/lunch time and we enjoyed the food in the restaurants as well. If we are going to have a big anniversary celebration or any big events, we will do it here at Carriage Greens Country Club again. Thank you Carriage Greens Staff for giving us such an amazing time and you guys just let us enjoyed our Big Day!
They were exactly what we were looking for when we started to plan our wedding. They were super patient with all our questions during the planning process and during the days just prior to our wedding. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a bett...
er wedding planner to make our day the most amazing day ever. Heidi Revelis was so sweet, down to earth and personable and just the best out there! I would highly recommend contacting her for future events and planning it at Carriage Greens Country Club!
Air conditioning was not working properly on a 90+ degree day. Paid for 2 bartenders. Only ever saw one. Venue contact was never present.
This is a rebuttal to Carriage Greens' response to my wife's honest review of the venue.
• We didn’t “override” you; in fact, we communicated with you the whole way until a couple of weeks prior to the wedding, when we decided to speak with Br...
ian due to the slew of inconsistent information we were given from you
• The groom and bridal suite had a STRONG stench of mustiness. The only thing functioning in that room other than the lights was ONE electrical outlet. The smart lock on the door had to be recalibrated numerous times throughout the night
• Actually your “personal decisions with COVID” are a health and safety hazard, not to mention there were legal ordinances that you blatantly ignored. We were still at the height of the pandemic, and giving us a speech on how masks and vaccines don’t work does not help your credibility as a responsible nor diligent host
• We paid extra for the exclusivity package and discussed in detail what that entails (first rate service, extra attentiveness, none of which happened). We weren’t expecting you to move mountains for us.
• It was understood at the rehearsal that the East/West Room would serve as the backup room for the ceremony in case the weather did not cooperate, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, that it would be prepped up and ready to go. When the clouds were looking ominous, we were seriously considering relocating to the East/West Room, which we found was in the exact same condition as the night before – unprepared, unventilated, a hand full of chairs, a dozen of disorganized round tables that should have been stored away, and no AC; essentially the exact opposite of what you promised. You put all your eggs in one basket with the weather, and yes while the skies did clear up, I can’t help but wonder what your plan would have been had it continue to thunderstorm the rest of the night. You claim you would have had the other room ready on the spot? Impossible, with what staff? Having the weather cooperate does not absolve you from being unprepared when time sensitive decisions need to be made.
• As soon as we came inside after the ceremony, we noticed only 1 bar tender serving a line that stretched to the middle of the dance floor. I asked her why she was alone and that there should be 2 of you, she replied that she was the only one working that night. Therefore, we had our wedding planner strongly remind you of the venue’s written commitment in this area.
• The meal plan we paid for included all guests and vendors. We communicated and confirmed this repeatedly, including with Brian. When we had our final sit down with Brian, we went over each item line by line, did the math together, and the amount Brian calculated was the agree upon FINAL payment. He confirmed in writing even that the bill was settled. The fact that you missed this and felt the need to charge an extra $440 is just another testament of your incompetence and sloppiness.
• You clearly knew a DJ, photographer, and wedding planner would be present. The wedding planner was even on the phone with Brian while we settled the bill.
• You also have some nerve sending my wedding planner to tap my shoulder and ask for an extra $440. Shame on you for even thinking it was a good idea to bother the groom in the middle of a reception with YOUR mistake.
Ultimately, Carriage Green’s did not fulfil their end of the bargain. What they promised us was a stark difference to the reality of what they actually delivered. I would not recommend this venue.
Carriage Greens was the single largest stressor in my wedding process.
My husband and I signed with them in March 2019, based on reviews showing them as "Best of the Knot." Sue was the main POC, but has long since left and been replaced by He...

Heidi was terrible to work with. She was not organized, bad at communication & note taking, and made promises one day that were forgotten the next. Also, as a bride planning her wedding during Covid, I was particularly annoyed that she never once wore a mask, even at the peak of the pandemic and gave us an unprompted speech on how she would never get vaccinated. We did complain to Brian & Adriana, the owners of the venue and nothing improved as a result. They claim to be able to handle two weddings at a time, up to 350 people each but they couldn't manage to staff enough for my single 100 person wedding, despite our paying extra to make sure we were the only event that night.
Below are my thoughts on specific features:
Photography: This was Brian's main pitch point, that we would be personally driven by him to the best spots on the golf course for amazing pictures. When our wedding date drew near though, Heidi said that wouldn't be possible because of a tournament that day, and our photographer should come out early and hunt for good shots instead. When we complained, Brian re-iterated that he would be driving us, and we set a time of 3:15pm to meet at the pro shop. The day of my wedding, he was no where to be found.
The Bridal Suite: The bridal suite was in a musty smelling basement. The suite did not have the A/C on the day of my wedding, which made it really unpleasant for us to attempt to apply make-up. There was exactly 1 outlet in the room, and 0 trash cans. The door locks worked sporadically at best.
The Ceremony: We were meant to have the ceremony outside, but there was thunder leading up to my wedding, and the threat of rain starting any minute. However, despite promises made by Heidi the night before at our rehearsal to clean up the spare ballroom in case, nothing was ready. There were tables everywhere, no chairs set-up, broken lamps, etc. The A/C was not on here either.
The Venue generally: The venue has visibly deteriorated since we signed. There was water damage on the ceiling tiles and walls of both ballrooms. The A/C couldn't keep up in any rooms. It was over 90* that entire weekend and not a single room in the place ever felt cool, even before the guests arrived.
The Reception: After 4 tastings and 2+ years of confusion over the menu and pricing, we finally had a plan of what we were to eat a few weeks prior to the wedding date. Another point that we verified several times over was the number of bartenders included, as the open bar was one of the main drivers of selecting this venue. We were told there would be 2 every time we asked. However, there was only 1 during our cocktail hour, and the 2nd only appeared after I informed Heidi that I considered the lack of a 2nd a major failure and would be seeking a refund as a result. Then the salads were served. After the salads were served, there was a noticeable delay between that and any other food. Also, even though we had met with Brian to settle the tab weeks earlier, Heidi demanded ~$500 in the middle of our reception to feed our vendors, which caught us all by surprise - since Brian had told us otherwise.
Response from the Vendor on 06/16/2021
we thank you for your comments and would like to clarify several issues:
1. You were notified by a personal phone call from me with an invitation to come in and meet and get to know one another as soon as I took over the food and beverage busin...
ess May 1st 2019- you decided to over ride me and say you will deal with Brian, the owner of the Country Club and I reiterated that he no longer has any involvement with Food and Beverage, but you still went over my head with emails to Brian- Covid hit and everything was pushed back due to uncontrollable events.
We booked your new date and you informed me you hired a planner, a coordinator and an assistant to handle details of your wedding-wonderful! During the shut down- we poured a new driveway, resurfaced our main parking lot,painted the lobby, refreshed the bathrooms, brought in 4 new ovens, repaired mechanical and serviced all equipment, poure a brand new 100 seat outdoor Patio , installed The Virtual Links Golf Simulators, steamed cleaned our Banquet Carpets, installed a new restaurant carpet and much much more! So, to see you write the place has visibly deteriorated since 2019-is an out right lie! The Facility has never been in better condition!! with The complete support of the Mayor and the Village and the whole community!
Your opinions of how I handle my personal decisions with Covid Really have nothing to do with the execution of your wedding! As for handling 2 weddings with 350 people, Not only have I handled that, along with a full restaurant and Patio- it has been done with 1 hand tied behind my back! Your comments about the bridal suites in the basement-well, there is no basement-its the lower level the houses the pro shop, the bridal suites, the virtual links, the liquor system, a vip club that is all walk out - the bridal suites were in the same location when you booked- I don't know why this bothers you now?? If any thing they have been remodeled since you signed!
A for buying out the whole place-you did not, you merely signed up to be the only bride that day-which you were and to assume we would turn around our whole facility at your whim is purely theatrical and imaginative on your part- I did tell you If it rained , which it did not during your ceremony time, that my team and I would have the other room ready for you and we would, but we did not have to as the weather was sunny with only a brief sprinkling for about 10 minutes and then the sun came out again as I told your planners and assistant that that little cloud would pass and it did.
As for the bartenders- you always had 2, 1 left to go get stock for a a few minutes and you accused us of not having 2 bartenders and you would be seeking a refund???
As for the vendor meals- you never accounted for your vendors and when they asked for food-all 5 of them including your planner and assistant- I told her that that was not accounted for- a slip up on your end- so I mentioned to your planner to get 5 more meals out of the kitchen it would be an additional $ 440-and I set them up in a beautiful table in the restaurant dining room - I never demanded anything from anyone, I merely told your planner that there would be an additional charge for the vendor meals and honestly If you were not in a position to pay that evening- I would have completely understood and fed them anyway trusting you would pay their bill soon after!
In the End- Mr. Broderick and myself went out of our way to accomodate you but it appeared from the beginning that no matter what we or anybody did- you would not be satisfied! I even up graded your white garden chairs to the chiavari chairs at no additional to cost to please you... The food never went into the hotbox, as soon as chef took it off the burners or out of the oven it went right to the tables.
In the end I continue to stand behind all aspects of Carriage Greens- ownership, management, staff, food and venue!!
We wish you a lifetime of happiness with your marriage!!
We had our ceremony and reception at Carriage Greens and we could not have picked a better place! Heidi is absolutely amazing and was so wonderful to my fiance and I as well as my family. She made sure everything was perfect for our wedding. ...
We had the filet mignon and the atlantic salmon and our guests raved over them. They were all made to perfection. Choosing Carriage Greens for our venue was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
When your a wedding planner and you plan your own wedding it can become a little to detailed. Iam so glad we decided to have our wedding at carriage greens. It was the best choice we made. Heidi was great to work with. Everything I asked to do ...
I was able to have. She was able to accommodate a design and idea that alot of places told me no. Heidi and her team said yes. They were great to work with they did the set up perfectly. I was told they never did a wedding like mine before and it came out awesome! For beginning as in detailed as I am heidi was able to give me my vision. It was perfect good food and drink and pleasant staff. I would highly recommend them.
I am so glad that we decided to book Carriage Greens for our venue. It was everything we wanted and to top it off the food was amazing! Heidi and her team were great to work with! Highly reccomend to future brides!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Heidi, her staff, and Carriage Greens! Our initial wedding venue cancelled our reception two weeks prior to our wedding day. We were connected with Heidi through word of mouth and we are eternally gra...
teful for her kindness. We reached out to Heidi and within an HOUR we were already at Carriage Greens discussing the details and securing a new reception. Then it just kept getting better from there. Heidi and her staff had all our tables setup right away so that we were able to head in early to setup our centerpieces. She came in to check up on us a few times and see if there was anything else she could do. Heidi and her staff accommodated some specialty cocktail drinks that I was hoping could be offered. Heidi and her staff assisted with the final touches of some decorations so that they were ready for us on our wedding day, and our favorite part was that Heidi allowed us to bring in an outside caterer as we already had a contract with them from our prior reception venue. We cannot wait to continue to support Carriage Greens in any way possible - golfing, dinner, cigar bar, etc. We are forever grateful and thankful for their hospitality and paying it forward to help us when we were in need of a last minute venue. Thank you, Heidi!!
Exceptional value! Dedicated server for the head table really made us feel special on our big day. Staff was flexible and willing to accommodate special floor plan requests. Food was amazing with really good portion sizes. Bar staff was friendl...
y and kept the delicious special request cocktails coming. The exclusivity package Carriage Greens offers is also a unique add on most venues in the area do not offer. We also had our ceremony on site and were able to utilize a nice brick patio overlooking the golf course and beautiful willow trees/ pond. Great place to host a wedding of any size.
When this process began, we thought this venue would be the ideal place for us. We were wrong. We were told many things that turned out to be untrue. We were told we would have to pay the balance by the day of the wedding. Three weeks before th...
e day, we got a call saying our balance is due. Heidi did work with us to make sure we could pay, but in reality she ended up doing what she told us she would do in the beginning. She acted like she was doing us a huge service, but really we paid what we owed and then some since my husband couldn’t even eat his food at the reception. We were told when we toured the first time, months before the event, the ballroom would be repainted before we had our wedding reception. The day before as we were setting up, our bridemaids all asked us why the walls looked so scuffed and dingy. We were told at the tasting, the same day as the tour, that we could absolutely have a nut-free wedding because my husband is highly allergic. The event coordinator wrote a note and asked the chef at the tasting to bring us green beans with no nuts. At the reception, we were served our dinners, and just before he took a bite of the green beans I noticed that they did have almonds in them. He didn’t even get to finish his meal because there were nuts on the plate and we didn’t want to risk it.
The day before the wedding, we went to set up and make bouquets for the girls. Heidi, the event coordinator, assured us she would get the flowers into the cooler before she left that morning. We came back that evening for the rehearsal and our bridesmaids had to put the flowers away themselves after they’d been left out all day.
The day of the wedding, Heidi, swore she would be there to help us out for our day. She was unhelpful and rude to our officiant earlier in the day when our officiant asked for a chair for the singer we hired, rattling off about us needing to have accounted for said musician when we ordered chairs. Heidi assured us we could have 15 golf carts to get to our photo locations around the golf course. We only had 8 and the man who was in charge of them was rude, and the first thing out of his mouth is that the wedding is beautiful, but it takes 3 years to see if the marriage will last. Heidi showed up to our reception in crocs, asked if we needed anything, and left. We hadn’t discussed breaking down decorations, when we should get our stuff, or who to coordinate with. Heidi left before any of those plans were laid. We were told by a manager at the venue the club is closed on Monday, so everything would be exactly as we left it on Tuesday morning. When my husband got there on Tuesday to load up the decorations, the tables had been moved, our champagne flutes and cake cutting set had disappeared, and there was no one to help him find any of it. When Heidi got to the venue, it took her quite some time to find our cake cutter, champagne flutes, and even the top tier of our cake.
Cathy, the head waitress is the reason this venue gets any stars at all. She worked with her team to make sure our reception was exceptional. She and her team did such a great job all evening, and they even took our centerpieces and various decorations and moved them all into one spot for when we came to pick them up. Cathy is nice and friendly and skilled at her job. I am so grateful to have had her at my event, because she made everything so seamless. Cathy got shit done. Heidi made promises she either couldn’t or didn’t keep.
Response from the Vendor on 10/01/2020
In reading this review, I must say it has caused me my staff to scratch our heads and i would like to address your comments. First, I would like to say that that this was a most beautiful wedding and my staff and I went above and beyond to what...
is normal to assist you and your wedding party in executing a most beautiful wedding! I was there, all day from 9:30 am to 9pm working behind the scene to execute a most perfect day. I did not have in my notes about any allergies but I accept full responsibility for that and as I recall we did bring out another full meal for your husband. In addition, when your husband did come pick up your belongings, including the cake topper (which was in the cooler and the cake cutting set, which we washed and had it placed under the sweet table like we normally do he hugged me and congratulated me on a beautiful event and gave a most gracious gift of very expensive facial creams as a token for his gratitude as well as the link to your photos which he told me we could use for our use and they were beautiful- a real fairy tale photo album. The room in which your wedding was held had the wains coating painted in July and to my recollection, I never promised it would be repainted?? Never the less my staff and I thoroughly enjoyed working with you and your husband in executing an absolutely beautiful event! I stand behind, the venue, our food and service and wish the both of you a life time of happiness! I am sorry you didn't like my crocs, they are my work shoes. All the Best to the both of you and to your families!
Carriage Greens was the first venue we viewed last November. It ended up being the only venue we looked at because we booked that day - we were that impressed! When then pandemic hit, we were unsure if our reception would be possible, but Heidi...
and her team have been so accommodating while also abiding by guidelines. We are so grateful for the team at Carriage Greens for working with us and for allowing us to still have our special day, even if it looks a little different than we anticipated. We can't wait to celebrate!
I advise you to stay away from this venue. In April 2019 we toured this venue and were impressed with the customer service and complimentary tasting. We decided to sign with Carriage Greens then and there to hold our May 2020 wedding. However,...
things quickly changed after we signed and paid the deposit. The banquet director was replaced (without notice to us) by Heidi who never seemed to remember us even after meeting formally. In December and January we were asked three different times to pay the entire amount early in cash for a discounted rate. We were told that this was a way to keep it off the books. We did not agree to this because it sounded potentially illegal. Then the pandemic hit. We had to move our May date to July. As July got closer, we realized we would not be able to have 160 guests as planned in our contract. We asked Heidi if we could change the guest number to 50 to accommodate the governor’s order. She said no, and “what about the other 110 people on your contract?” We were then told that we were “legally obligated” to have a 160-person wedding and to move our wedding to next year. For several reasons, we could not put off our wedding again. To this day, Carriage Greens is still holding on to our three deposits of thousands of dollars for a service they did not and refused to provide. This is despite a “Force Majeure” section in their own Event Contract that says neither party is to be held responsible if the event is prevented from being held due to governmental actions. There are many other things I could talk about, but these are the highlights. I am warning everyone I know not to get into a contract with them, especially now during the pandemic.
Response from the Vendor on 07/22/2020
Hello and thank you for your review. I must say that there are several inaccuracies with your comments. Fist of all, due to covid and the restrictions that came along with it, we offered to move your date to a future date in order to accommodat...
e the current government restrictions. You both were against moving to another date and demanded your paid in deposits and I explained to you that deposits paid in are non refundable as it clearly states on the contract. We would never cancel on you and have you lose any money but suggested you select another date. You were adamant about getting married on your original date at another state and again demanded your money back. Again, I explained that the contract clearly states there are no refunds. As your final payment was becoming due it also clearly states it must be paid in cash or check and seeing we got tied up with covid restrictions, I offered you a discount if you wanted to make your final payment in cash . You were not interested in moving forward with any future dates and again just demanded your money back. I am truly sorry that it has gotten to this point, but I still however would honor your payments and move them to a different date given the current restrictions with covid. Please know that with Carriage Greens you will never lose your money. You decided to cancel with us. Regardless, I will still honor the payments made and all we ask is you select a future date that would allow us to operate in the capacity to full fill your contract. I am keeping this file open and would like to resolve this with you-please feel free to call me directly at anytime.
Thank you- Heidi- Banquet Director
I couldn’t imagine having my wedding anywhere else! The owner Brian and his wedding coordinator Heidi are extremely accommodating! The food was amazing and the open bar was always stocked. The staff are quick and professional and I am in awe wi...
th how perfect my wedding day was due to a fabulous venue and the great assistance we had! Thank you Brian, Heidi and all of the CG staff!!
Brian and his team made our day really special down to the small details. We had a very large wedding, over 300 people and the room accommodated us perfectly. The golf course was a beautiful place to take pictures (besides the rain) and the ...
food was phenomenal. We would definitely recommend CGCC.
Our wedding June 15th was more than we ever could have imagined! Our guests are still raving about the food and the beauty of the venue. Brian the owner could not have been more accommodating, always available to answer all our questions and c...
oncerns. The price was unbelievably reasonable, much less than all other venues we had searched. From the first dance to the outside FIREWORKS SHOW it was truly a night we will never forget! Special thanks to Heidi, Amy, and Lou for the special touches they added, and for answering my endless questions! Our guests are still telling us that was the BEST wedding they ever attended. Thank you Carriage Greens for making our wedding night a very special and memorable evening!
We looked at several golf courses to host our wedding. At first look, the others looked prettier but my husband was set on CC the minute we walked into the place and Im so glad he was! There are many reasons we chose Carriage Greens. 1. We were...
offered an exclusivity package which allowed us to be the only event that evening. I loved the fact that we had the entire venue to ourselves and didn't have to worry about bumping into another wedding. 2. Since we had the entire venue to ourselves we had the option to move our ceremony inside if it rained (which it did) and not have to have it in our reception ballroom. Our ceremony was in the smaller ballroom. 3. Brian and Heidi were extremely helpful and involved in the entire process! Heidi was quick to respond to emails and available to help with anything we needed. The day of she was there to make sure everything ran smoothly. The venue was set up the day before so we could decorate and we were able to come the following day to pick everything up. (granted that was due to the fact that there were no other events that weekend). 4. They had golf carts available to my bridal party so we could take pictures out on the golf course. (it did rain so we weren't able to go out to all the spots but i'm very hopeful we were able to get great pictures anyway!). Overall I'd have to say that Carriage Greens was fabulous!

My daughter had her wedding reception at Carriage Greens on June 8th, 2019. When we went to the venue for the first meeting, Brian was super accommodating and we thought that everything we agreed to would happen. He couldn.t have been nicer. T...
hen we had a meeting a few months before the wedding day and Brian seemed to have forgotten what he agreed to with our daughter and fiance. Luckily she had notes written down about everything that he agreed too. As the wedding got closer, my daughter told us she had been emailing and leaving voice mails for Brian and he wouldn’t write or call her back. I kept giving him the benefit of the doubt and said he was probably super busy with weddings and events. Usually venues want a final count 2 weeks before but they wouldn’t even reply to get that. 6 days before the wedding we went there for our final meeting and we were told that Brian was no longer handling the wedding part. Well it would have been nice for someone to let us know that. Nobody told us they hired a banquet coordinator and we would be working with her. 6 days before the wedding! The thing was, Heidi didn’t know anything about what Brian had agreed to or the vendors who Brian worked with. So she had to get Brian to join the meeting since she didn’t know what was going on. On the day of the wedding, the cocktail hour lines were ridiculously long. We were told that after the cocktail hour, the bar would open in the reception room and stay open for 30 minutes until dinner. Imagine our surprise when we got to the reception room and the bar was closed. So now our guests did not have any drinks available, even though the bartenders in the cocktail hour room told them they could get a drink in the reception room.
Salads came out as expected but the time between the salads and the main course was 35 minutes. The wait was so long that people got up and started talking to each other, and went to the golf venue’s bar to get drinks, instead of waiting at their tables for dinner to arrive. The servers didn’t even know what the stars on the table cards meant (Brian told us to put different color stars on the table cards so servers would know what entree to serve)....they came up to our table to ask us what they meant.
When the entrees finally arrived, there were only a couple of ladies serving a room of 200 people. When we approached Brian to say that we wanted the bar to open again 30 minutes early because of the 30 minutes we lost after the cocktail hour, he said what do you want me to do, pull the people from serving the food or have them work the bar? I guess the people working the bar were also the food servers. Iv’e never seen that before. Obviously we wanted the food out, so we said the food. Also they didn,t even have pitchers of water on the tables, you had to go to the bar and get the water yourself! The food was delicious but that doesn’t make up for the slow dinner service at what we thought was a great place to have a wedding. Even the staff kept apologizing for the way things were going.
I recently had my PERFECT winter wedding here at Carriage Greens!!!!! I can't say enough great things about this place!! Brian, the owner, and his assistant Sue went above and beyond all expectations!!! They were spot on down to the littlest de...
tails that I wanted!!!! If you want to hold your wedding/reception anywhere, look no further than Carriage Greens!!!! They will make you feel like family from start to finish!!!! They even allowed us to pick up our wedding pieces the next morning so that we could keep the party going on at the hotel we stayed at!!! I will recommend this place to everyone I speak too and I hope that all you future brides out there read this review!!! These people know how to throw a party and keep the drinks flowing at all times!!!! The food was amazing and the guests couldn't stop raving about!!!!
Keep it up Carriage Greens!!!! Everyone should book their event with this venue!!!! They really are hands on and it is all about the bride/groom at all times from start to finish!!!! I LOVED MY WEDDING RECEPTION AND WISHED IT COULD HAVE KEPT GOING!!!!! THANK YOU ALL AT CARRIAGE GREENS FOR MAKING THIS A NIGHT WE WILL NEVER FORGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Broderick family was wonderful on our wedding day! The day went so well. Brian and his team were constantly checking in on us to see if we needed anything. The food was amazing and the bartenders kept the drinks flowing! Even though it ...
was cold, we took beautiful pictures on the golf course and Brian even had golf carts for my whole bridal party to use!
The Broderick family and staff are the BEST in class! Not only are they 1000% client focused, but have some of the best pricing in the market. Their prices are inclusive and easy to work with making planning your wedding that much easier on the...
future newlyweds. CG is a 50+ year family owned business and the hospitality SHOWS. Not just by ownership, but the whole staff. Everyone is all hands on deck for your big day and they’ll do everything in their power to make it a smash. I can’t speak highly enough about our experience!! Thank you, Carriage Greens!!
My daughter had her wedding ceremony and reception here Oct. 13, 2018 and it was fantastic. We decorated the gazebo and then the owner scoops the bridal party and photographer in golf carts and takes them out onto the course for photos. A lit...
deck was beautiful to step outside and the plated dinner was delicious, hot and there was plenty of food. The entire staff is flexible and easy going, which makes for a stress free event. Brian, the owner was there for the entire event and our event was well staffed too and the bartenders never got backed up! Thanks also to Amy and Sue for their help with our wedding.
There aren't enough words to describe how amazing our experience at Carriage Greens was! From start to finish, Brian was great to work with! Very responsive and receptive to our vision and was able to help us plan accordingly. The food was spec...
tacular! Still getting compliments from our guests! The East-West room was perfect for our wedding. Ceremony outside was everything we wanted and photos on the course was a blast! This all-inclusive venue will NOT disappoint! Thank you to Brian and the amazing staff at Carriage Greens for helping bring our wedding to life!
Our reception was here and it could not have been better. Everyone loved the food, our room, and the outside patio. They have wonderful areas around the venue that are wonderful for pictures. The owner Brian was great to work with and helped us...
with all the little details for our big day. We will defiantly recommend Carriage Greens for any event.
We had our wedding here in early June and give it 4/5.
The positives:
- Can't beat the price- for what we got, the $ was a huge factor so if you are looking for somewhere to host your wedding but $ is a factor, definitely consider Carriage Gre...
ens.
- The food was delicious***
- Able to set up early because no event the night before in our room
- The grounds to take pictures on
- Having reception and ceremony in one place
The Negatives:
- Disorganization - We booked our wedding over a year and a half in advance (We're both type A) with that being said, from the time we booked until our wedding we worked with 2 different wedding coordinators, and then the owner himself (Nice guy though!)
From all that turnover, things got lost in the shuffle (we didn't have enough chairs at the reception for everyone to sit, the chicken we ordered for the day was not what was served, and some other smaller things that were promised by one of the wedding coordinators, then taken back by another so it was kind of a mess.
Overall feeling is if you are looking for a less expensive option this is the place for you. If you have an actual professional planning and arranging your wedding, this would also be the place for you.
But, if you want a place that is like a one-stop shop and you don't have a lot of time to put into your own wedding, this might not be the place.
Brides seriously look no further! I cannot say enough good things about Carriage Greens. Aside from the fact that the food is amazing, the grounds are breathtaking and the staff is EXCELLENT. They treated us like family and accommodated us in a...
way that made us feel so special. We had some bumps on our end in the planning process and they were there every step of the way to make our dream wedding happen. They truly are a one of a kind place and you will easily consider it the best decision you make in the planning process!
We had our reception at Carriage Greens on 6/1/18, and what an event it was! From the beginning we were treated like we were the most important event they had that year. Questions were answered quickly, calls returned, emails answered, etc. Br...
ian was very accommodating, and made arrangements for us to come in the night before (we were married on a Friday) to set up some things. Being a very detail oriented person this was wonderful because I knew I wouldn’t have time day of to make sure everything was exactly where I wanted it! The day of moved about as smoothly as possible. From the moment we got in there until we left. We were in the larger banquet room and it was absolutely perfect.
In terms of planning and budgeting- they make us crystal clear exactly what you’re paying. Their package is much more inclusive than any other venue we had been to, and also a lot easier to understand.
I would definitely recommend anyone planning a wedding. I am a very low maintenance person-but I did have high standards when it came to picking a venue, and I was not disappointed.
My name is Prachi. My groom and I were married on 5/26/2018. We loved working with Brian at Carriage Greens! The whole staff was amazing and accommodating! My groom and I visited so many venues, the moment we stepped into Carriage Greens we kne...
w we were going to get married there. All our questions and requests were responded to and fulfilled. We had such amazing wedding and time! We received several compliments about how pretty the venue is and how delicious the food was. We received the opportunity to go over details as many times as we needed. It felt great to work with people who were so experienced with weddings, because we definitely were confused and did not know what we were doing. Brian, who is the owner, even stayed with us for all of our photos to make sure he showed our photographer the best areas for wedding pictures. Overall, it was the best day of my life! I am so thankful! Thank you Carriage Greens!
We could not have been happier with everything about Carriage Green for our daughter and son in law's wedding. The outdoor setting for the ceremony to the inside. The food was delicious. The staff was fabulous and helpful. The day was perfect...
. I would definitely recommend Carriage Green for your wedding.
Carriage Greens Country Club was such an amazing place to host a perfect wedding. Staff was so wonderful and helpful. Brian, the owner, was more than accommodating throughout planning and the day of the wedding. Highly recommend!
We absolutely loved having our wedding here! Very affordable and we had a great time. Jackie was fabulous and we would come back just for her. I can't say enough good things about her. The food was PHENOMENAL and we got so many compliments on t...
he place.
What an unbelievable day!! Everything was exactly what we wanted our wedding day to be....perfect!! The whole process was so much easier than I ever imagined. From the beginning the owner and management staff was a dream to work with and too...
k a lot of my worrying and made it into excitement for the best day of my life. Once we arrived at the country club the staff was so accommodating and helped relax all of us. We were able to take pictures on the golf course and those turned out so beautiful!! The course director and his staff led us out to the course to assure our safety and helped our photographer find some beautiful spots to take our pictures.
Our ceremony was unbelievable!! We had the gazebo area outside to ourselves and the setup was great! Everyone was comfortable and the whole ceremony was so special. The bridal suite had perfect access to the gazebo area which made everything so smooth.
The reception was fantastic! The staff was so accommodating to all of our guests and everything from the setup of seating to the food was way beyond our expectations! The food was a huge hit with everyone! Again, the staff couldn't have been better and we enjoyed the whole experience of having our wedding at Carriage Greens!! We had the best day ever!!!! I highly recommend this venue for anyone's wedding.
A beautiful facility!!! The food was AMAZING! The staff, professional. And the view from the East West Room - unbelievable!!! Not to mention the BEST open bar package around.
We couldn't be happier with our decision to use Carriage Greens. ...
They have been in business for a long time and it shows!
Thank you, Brian for making our day so special! I'm sure my husband will see you when he's golfing at Carriage Greens, this summer!
xo xo
Kind of hard to get in touch with at times, but overall definitely worth it. Their food is amazing and their prices can't be beat! They were very accommodating with our decorator and with us. It was a little stressful at times with getting deta...
ils straightened out, but the day of went well!
One thing that was odd though was that they would not let us /bridal party into the reception on time because "the food wasn't ready". They said we could've gone in, mingled, and then come back out just to go back in for introductions/entrance. I think they should've let us in and do the introductions AND THEN let us mingle while the food was getting prepared. We missed a good chunk of time that we could've spent with our guests, but instead, we were waiting outside the room to be let in. I was told our guests were complaining that we were taking too long, but it wasn't our fault; we were ready to go.
Also, the table numbers/signs were set out out-of-order. I don't know why. I placed people at specific tables, but then the numbers weren't set out that way. But that was a minor frustration since most people only sat to eat and then they were up.
Overall, it was all good though. Everyone had a fun time. And since it was strangely nice out for December, we were able to utilize the outdoor patio too. The lights were hanging up there and everything looked so pretty. They also have pretty awesome bridal suites. There are two so we used one and the guys used the other one.
Even with the snafus, 10/10 would book an event here again!
The ladies at carriage greens were on it. They had their A game and were wedding pros. They made sure everything was on point, from timing, to making sure everyone was in the right position for pictures, making sure shirts were tucked in proper...
ly. They helped all the guys with their boutineers, they helped with pretty much everything. The location itself was beautiful for our ceremony and photos. Best part? Each couple got their own golf cart to go out on the course while we went out for photos. We had an absolute blast and the day went super smooth and turned out gorgeous.
Jill is awesome you work with. She made it so we didn't have to worry the day of. Everything was just as we hoped. The staff was great and the food delicious. I would highly recommend Carriage Greens.
Carriage Greens was a GREAT venue for our daughter's wedding on Oct. 7, 2017. It was supposed to be outside in the gazebo but it poured. Jennifer & Jill went out of their way to make the inside wedding beautiful. They were always VERY helpful w...
ith everything. Jill did a great job of taking the decorating off my list and everything was beautiful! The food was excellent and all of the wait staff and other personnel were very polite and helpful. The food was delicious. The day turned out wonderful despite the rain and later the sun came out and they got to get pictures outside with a beautiful rainbow in the background. Thanks to everyone at Carriage Greens!!!!
I recently had my wedding at Carriage Greens Country Club in Darien, IL. We booked almost 1 ½ years before our wedding day. We were married on September 30, 2017. From the beginning there were problems. We went through multiple wedding coordina...
tors through the process. The first major problem was the room we had booked was already double booked. We were forced to change rooms and we specifically chose that room because it fit our guest amount. It ended up working out for the best because our new room- The East West Room is gorgeous! It has large chandeliers and an outdoor deck with lights. Very pretty. We had 90 guests and it fit them all comfortably. They stated it normally holds a lot more than that but I think guests would be extremely crowded. The second major problem was the cake and sweets table what was supposed to be included for a small per person fee. I was told I should go to Costco or Sam’s and buy a fake cake and bring sheet cake instead. Very shady. They did not want to honor the per person fee and stated I would have to pay the difference if we did that. Plus, we would have to pay the 20 % service charge and tax on that. It made no sense! I was enraged. I decided to use my own bakery and not work with them on the cake. I was told that by their General Manager- who is extremely unprofessional and manipulative. She is the problem with that venue.She also yelled at one of my guest extremely loud and stated she can shut down this whole wedding. Furthermore, when we arrived to take pictures the GM was telling my photographer to pick a place in front to take pictures with our grandmas. I specially told them I want to take the grandparents on the golf course to take pictures. The GM worked it out and provided more golf carts but seemed extremely annoyed.
The staff and service for our recent wedding ceremony and reception at Carriage Greens Country club was spectacular. Jennifer and Jill took care of everything we could ask for and went above and beyond to ensure that our day ran smoothly. I can...
not stress enough how professional they were in dealing with any questions or concerns my or myself had, we were blown away. We had a beautiful late summer ceremony with the pristine golf course behind and our reception immediately followed. The golf course offered an excellent backdrop for beautiful photos of our bridal party and family. The transition from the ceremony to the reception was seamless. The service and staff for the reception were friendly and willing to help us and our guests with whatever requests we had. We chose a family style dinner and never did it seem like any guests were lacking any of our menu choices, and the food was delicious! On all accounts, Carriage Greens Country Club was an amazing place and a beautiful setting for our big day!
My husband and I are so satisfied with the level of support, direction, and services offered by Carriage Greens staff. Both Jill and Jennifer were such an asset to us in terms of navigating the in’s and out’s of stressful wedding planning. We r...
eceived such care and they made sure that everything moved swimmingly that day. The venue itself was beautiful and clean, and all support staff was enjoyable to work with. They also were willing to cater to our specific requests such as creating specific superhero cocktails, adjusting for dietary needs, and also allowing for incorporation of cultural foods. Despite the unintended heat of the day, Jennifer and Jill were able to help keep our guests as comfortable as possible for our outside ceremony. We are completely satisfied and are quite happy to know that all of our guests expressed having such a great time at our wedding! Thank you very much. We would highly advocate Carriages Greens to others as a location for celebrating their special day.
We just got married on 9/9 and everything was perfect! The food was absolutely amazing and we could not have asked for a better night. The entire process leading up to the wedding went smooth as Jill made sure everything was ready to go! Great ...
communication! Jill and Jennifer basically acted as our wedding coordinator the night of the wedding to make sure everything went smooth!!
Jennifer is amazing. They are a beautiful location, and a great price point. And they will work with you to get what you want.
The staff was excellent and worked with us all the way through. They had great ideas that made for an excellent event. We couldn't have been happier and can't think of a better place to have a wedding !!!
Our first impression of Carriage Greens as a potential reception site was fantastic. It only got better from there. I planned a wedding from afar and the staff at Carriage Greens was fabulous in getting back to me with all of my silly questions...
. Carriage Greens was accommodating, the food was delicious, and the bar packages offered were outstanding! This is definitely the venue to choose if you like to get the most for your money. We would choose them again if we got to do it all over!
My husband and I got married on June 10, 2017 – our ceremony and reception was at Carriage Greens Country Club.
The outdoor ceremony was a perfect setting - beautiful brick patio overlooking the picturesque golf course. I absolutely loved the...
pond and willow tress – very romantic view. The reception inside went smooth – dinner was delicious and drinks were flowing. Dinner was well timed and the wait staff / bartenders were all on point. We enjoyed the use of the outdoor deck during the reception – it was a very fun setting, lit up with sting lights. Our guests mingled around the cocktail tables and really enjoyed themselves.
The event coordination care of Jennifer and Jill at Carriage Greens was beyond exceptional. They were always quick to respond to our wedding planning questions via phone, email or various in person meetings. They used their years of expertise to guide us through the process. From picking out the best appetizers for our guests, to explaining how the ceremony should flow, we would have been lost without them! There are so many little details and they truly took the stress out of it.
If you are considering Carriage Greens Country Club as a wedding venue, the choice is clear! From the great setting, to the delicious food, to the exceptional care and guidance of the event coordinators and staff – it’s the right decision to make!

It was beautiful. Kelly was great, she did everything in her hands to customize for us.
Carriage Greens has been a special place for weddings in my family. My mom, older sister, and aunt all used this venue for their receptions. As soon as I was engaged, I knew I wanted to use the m as our reception venue as well! We just got ma...
rried on Saturday 11/19/2016 and we had a blast. The venue was beautiful, the room was set up perfectly, everyone was nice and welcoming to our guests. The only reason I am giving this venue a 4 out of 5 stars is only because we had a few bumps along the way before getting to our big day. While turnover does happen, we had the unfortunate experience of going through 3 different wedding coordinators throughout the year of our engagement. The system they were using was not reliable in getting each new coordinators all of the information that was discussed between each person. We had to provide the food we picked twice because it was not written down, we had to keep track and follow up regarding the amounts we still owed since we had shown we paid more than what they were telling us we did, had been promised one pricing package but then was told a higher package was being applied to our wedding and so on. While I know this was just a miscommunication between the three separate people taking over as coordinator and it all was resolved before the wedding, it was something that was frustrating and complicated when it should have been easy. Overall, the experience was wonderful and everything was exactly how we wanted it to be for our big day but it is unfortunate we had to go through a period of time of miscommunications.
My sister had her wedding here last month and it was great! The room was decorated beautifully and had an amazing view of the golf course. The food was delicious and the service staff did a wonderful job. We definitely plan to come back for mor...

ked like they were having so much fun. After talking with Jennifer who is the GM and took the time to give me a tour we are booking here. Carriage Greens has everything he is looking for 51/2 hour open bar that doesn't close during dinner, a beautiful golf course for pictures, and a staff that is willing to go the extra step to help. Also, I had lunch in the restaurant and the food was great.
My daughter just had her wedding here and I was a little worried at first but then we found out they were under new management and they were GREAT!!!! The food was better than at the tasting and i was surprised because there was so many people....
Also, they opened up the doors to this new deck that was not there when we booked with the lights on it was beautiful. Thanks carriage greens your new management and updates were a great idea.
Just got married here and everything was amazing. The staff was upbeat and friendly made it feel like it was really my day and I could have anything I wanted. Also, I took pictures on the golf course and loved that my guest were able to have ...

The Staff is amazing. They were very flexible with our menu choices and helping us with all of the details. We took pictures on the golf course after our ceremony that turned out amazing. they took us out on golf carts and were very patient....
While we were taking photos, our guests were enjoying appetizers and an open bar. We were able to use the bridal suite to freshen up between pictures and during the reception. All of my guests complimented the food. Affordable but not cheap in any way! The bar was open the entire time during our event and did not shut down during dinner which we had a hard time finding anywhere else. Late night snacks and pizzas kept all of our guests happy as we danced the night away. All around great value for great food and an amazing staff.
WOW!
What a beautiful venue! Our room overlooked the 18th hole, head chef Adam came out to congratulate us during dinner. Staff and ownership - very professional!!! Great prices and bar package, too. Thank you Adriana!

We were BEYOND THRILLED with our experience at Carriage Greens! Every little detail was considered, carefully thought out, laid out, explained and cared for. The staff from the service staff, bar tending staff, event coordinators and Amanda in ...
the office were EXCEPTIONAL! They outdid my expectations! They recently remodeled both of their venue rooms. We were in the EAST WEST room- LOVED THE CARPET! The bridal suite has been remodeled and is GORGEOUS! EVERYONE is still raving about the food and the drinks! Thank you so so so much Carriage Greens!
I recently had the pleasure of doing a wedding here for a client. All I can say is Amanda was awesome and helped my client every step of the way. She was very detailed understood our vision and helped us execute our ideas. When my clients big...
day came the staff was VERY HELPFUL they helped with set up and the overall flow of the night. They stuck to my clients timeline and accommodated all of her needs along with her large bridal party of 25 people! Plus a group of Irish dancers too! Carriage Greens is a very nice place to host an event and I cant wait to work with them and Amanda again!
Following my first meeting with Amanda at Carriage Greens I knew I was in good hands. She was always readily available, gave amazing suggestions, and helped to make my husband and I's vision for the ballroom come to life. Everything about our e...
xperience at CG was perfect. The service, rooms, and food. The FOOD is to DIE FOR. I had guests talking about the beef medallions for weeks after.
If you are looking for a venue that will allow you to stay within budget, has gorgeous rooms, and for people to make your day completely special look no further.
Carriage Greens was helpful, efficient, and a great value without being cheap. We got a winter deal, which made it even more affordable, but it's not bad price-wise when you look at it side-by-side to vendors around the area. Our guests raved...
about the food -- it was amazing! They were very easy to work with and were cater to us to help with our wedding's theme, like hot dogs for the late-night snack, which wasn't originally on the menu (we had a Chicago Cubs wedding). I have already recommended this to another friend and she has booked her wedding for next summer. I will continue to recommend them!
This review is for the wedding ceremony and reception I had at Carriage Greens Country Club (CGCC) this November. The price and easy access location for out of town guests were what first drew me to this venue. After I had the chance to meet ...
in person and talk with the banquet manager I participated in a food tasting. I immediately knew this was going to be a great pick. The staff is very flexible and accommodating so go in with a game plan and tell them what you have in mind – don’t be shy!
The venue is elegant but in a way that is not overwhelming or distracting from a look you might want to achieve. I went with a “rustic autumn” look but I saw photos from other weddings there that were completely different and they all seemed to work well in the room. We had compliments from our guests about the friendliness of staff, servers and bartenders.
The room we specifically used for the reception was a ball room divided in half by a wall partition. A birthday party was being celebrated at the same time with a live band but we hardly noticed that other event going on. I would highly recommend this venue – especially for the bride who wants to decorate/DIY her own wedding – CCGC offers the perfect canvas to paint your dream wedding on!
Amazing food, amazing venue, amazing staff!!! Everything that was promised to us was delivered, they were so easy to work with! There were a few types of alcohol that they didn't carry, and if they weren't able to obtain it from their distrib...
utor, they let us purchase it for them to serve at no additional cost. Amazing service, Sandy was so great to work with! Can't think of one bad thing to say, they made our wedding day a huge success, and the pricing was so affordable! If you haven't decided yet, look no further!!!
We decided to have our wedding at Carriage Greens after one of our friends had a wonderful wedding there years ago. The prices were very reasonable, and they were flexible on the timeline of the day of the wedding. They were also great for a sm...
aller wedding because they did not require expensive minimums for Saturday weddings. The frustrating thing is that 2 weeks before my wedding I call up to get a final bill and I'm told they didn't save most of my wedding info. I had to go through our menu options yet again, as well as all of the other details. It was incredibly disorganized and there was always someone else to answer the phone that didn't know the details of our wedding. Our wedding day went as well as it did because of our outside vendors setting everything up for us. Carriage Greens had many other events going on that same night and we were told "we're very busy" when our dance floor wasn't opened on time. We had guests that waited over an hour to be served dinner, and some guests never even got cake. It was a beautiful venue, but had I known that our wedding wouldn't be a priority I would have paid more to have my wedding at another venue.

Beautiful and affordable wedding
My fiancé and I wanted a country club wedding in the southwest suburbs with flexible options. After visiting many different venues we finally chose Carriage Greens. The staff was extremely helpful and service w...
as phenomenal. Everyone from the owners down to the bussers really worked very hard to make out day special. We were very impressed with the affordability and quality. Thank you for making our day so special. We can’t wait to come back and reminisce.
Carriage Greens had great prices for the area. Most vendors we went to visit were pricey. The food was delicious and our guests raved about it during and after the reception. Everyone we worked with was personable and very nice. The country clu...
b itself was recently redecorated (the week of our wedding), but it looks gorgeous! I am excited to see our photos since we had the beautiful golf course to use. We were the only event that night so the bathrooms weren't crowded at all. Big plus when you have a wedding of 200 people! I highly recommend Carriage Greens. The gazebo area is perfect for any outside event. Margaret and Ana were wonderful to work with.
I had my wedding her in May 2013. The staff was very helpful in all of our needs. We had gone to the venue the day before to drop off all of our stuff, guestbook, pictures, centerpieces, favor, etc. the staff did a excellent job putting out t...
hings together for the party. The golf course had beautiful backdrops for our wedding pics. And the food was great too.
I had been to Carriage Greens for a wedding about 10 years ago and remembered I liked the atmosphere and the food. After meeting with one of the coordinators and taking the tour, my fiancé and I (who had seen other places, as well) decided it w...
as the best venue for the type of wedding we wanted and for our fairly modest budget. On the wedding day, the staff did not disappoint. The room looked beautiful; the food received rave reviews; everyone had a great time; and everything went smoothly (as far as I know!). Throughout the process, the Carriage Greens staff went out of their way to adjust to our needs, including allowing us to bring in pizza for a late night snack. I would say there only were a few niggles--1) Leading up to the wedding, it sometimes was hard to get a hold of the staff by phone and e-mail and get a straight answer about certain things and 2) we gave them a bunch of long-burning votive candles to use for our centerpieces, but they ended up using their own candles instead on the day, and their candles burned out very quickly. Otherwise, we had a great reception and had many people tell us it was the best wedding they have been to!
We were a little nervous about not having one coordinator assigned to our event but we had no problems at all. All of the staff members we worked with were helpful and able to answer our questions. Everything at the reception was set up accordi...
ng to our specifications. The food was delicious and they were able to accommodate the specific dietary needs for some of our guests. We couldn't have been happier and wouldn't have changed a thing.
We had our wedding here on NYE , so we obviously did it indoors, where most people have outdoor weddings here. I would recommend this venue to everyone for any season. Seriously. The staff was overly helpful and friendly, from the bartenders ...
to the owner to the bus boys. Planning with the people at Carriage Greens was a dream- almost made me feel like something was missing because it was so easy. I honestly didn't have to worry about anything the night of our wedding because everything was taken care of. We had our ceremony and reception here and had a spacious bridal room to hang out in beforehand and in between. Our reception room was completely set up and ready 3 days early and it was absolutely beautiful. The food exceeded expectations and we are seriously still getting emails from friends and family telling us how much they enjoyed it! I really can't say enough about Carriage Greens, and the best part of all is that their prices are totally reasonable. I highly recommend this place!!!!
Your money will stretch a long way by having your reception here! After comparing the price tag for what we were receiving here compared to other reception halls, we estimated that we saved AT LEAST $1,000. There was always a wedding coordina...
tor available during the planning process to help us when we needed it and they were all very friendly. The only thing I was disappointed in was that I only saw the on-site coordinator the day of when she asked us how our food was tasting. She wasn't around when we arrived, which was when we needed her the most. Overall, it's a beautiful site with great food!
The people, place, and service were prefect! I am so happy with the every moment of my wedding day and wouldn't change it for the world.
The food at my wedding was amazing from what my guest say. We had a family style dinner which was a big hit. The bartender was amazing and everyone loved their drinks. I was not happy that the indoor decor I had to be put together was not ready...

Beautiful places to take pictures on the golf course, beautiful grand ball room, great service, good food, helpful...overall, they did a great job! Especially great prices for the area. If you want to get a great venue for less money than othe...
r places in the area, go here! We were not disappointed and have great pictures and memories to prove it.
CG was helpful at first, then there was a change in management which resulted in them moving around my ballroom 3 times, and my dad and stepdad having to do set up and breakdown work that I paid CG to do. It's nice looking, the food rocks, and ...
the staff is generally nice - just not that helpful.
The staff at Carriage Greens was wonderful and very accommodating from start to finish. They were always available to answer my questions (I had a lot!) and they even allowed us to bring in our favorite ice cream from an outside vendor as a lat...
e-night treat for our guests! They let us bring in all of our reception centerpieces and details a few days before the wedding which made storage and the hassle of bringing in all of these things the day of so much easier! The night of the wedding, the staff was amazing! They were extremely efficient and the bartenders had drinks ready for guests as they saw them walking up to the bar. If they didn't want a different type of drink, it was ready for them when they got there. We were able to take pictures along the beautiful golf course with no problem and used the gazebo for photos as well. The bridal room was a nice room to have to freshen up before the reception and to leave our belongings during the reception (we were the only wedding that night). Their costs were affordable compared to other reception venues that we looked at and the food was delicious (we had the chicken francaise). I would highly recommend Carriage Greens to anyone!
Great value for the price, the food was plentiful, hot and tasty. The venue even provided cake for my guests after my baker dropped our wedding cake. The only thing I didnt like was that there isnt one specific wedding coordinator to speak with...
every time. Other than that, the property is very well taken care of, and the staff is incredibly helpful. A great choice.
Carriage Greens was a beautiful setting for our wedding day. The affordable prices allowed us to have a big wedding on a budget that wasn't so big. The food was really great, the Grand Ballroom had a perfectly large dance floor and the bar was ...
nice and large. My only constructive criticism would be that the banquet sales staff should be a bit more knowledgeable in general banquet information. I am sure I feel this way because I am an event planner myself and know more about the process than the average bride would, but a few times, I asked questions and was surprised they could not be answered with great ease (ie. are your round tables 60" or 72"?) It caused a bit of unnecessary stress in the planning process. That said, everything worked out in the end and I would recommend Carriage Greens to friends.
For our July 2011 wedding we were in the Grand Ballroom with 200+ people. We were very happy with the way everything turned out. The staff was all great to work with. From the little questions I would call with during the week, to the food t...
asting, and then on the big day... all very accommodating! It was great spot to have your wedding reception. We had enough space, a great, large dance floor, the chairs were pretty enough you didn't have to cover them, the food was delicious, and the bartenders were great!! What more could you ask for? The only downside was that there were some wedding crashers. A gift and a couple of cards were stolen, along with my husband's cell phone (which was in the bridal room), and a few guests' purses. More security in the room would have been great. Not sure if wedding venues offer this, but bride-to-bes beware this can happen at your reception.
I held my wedding reception at this venue and everything was absolutely perfect! We had appetizers, a family style meal, and a chocolate fountain for 275 people for under $17K. The food was great and the service was even better! I definitely re...
commend this venue!
Our wedding coordinator was Anna, she was great and always available. The room we had was smaller than we wanted, but they made it work. They worked well with our other vendors, and the room turned out wonderfully. Very reasonably priced, and b...
eautiful place! Oh, and truly EXCELLENT food!
Carriage Greens allowed me to have the large wedding I wanted without the big bill. They worked well with my mom and I during the planning process and stayed on top of everything. We had our ceremony and reception in the same room. The turn aro...
und time was quick and everything went without a hitch. Also, many of my guests complimented how great the food was!
The gazebo was perfect for the ceremony. They rushed us through the reception, but it was perfect for a small wedding.
Loved the food and desert.;The pricing on the web site was not up to date. It was more expensive and we did not realize it until the last minute.
I loved the windows our reception room had; I am not very big on closed in room so having windows in the room made it more open. The reception venue even had white christmas lights around each window it looked very classy. The entire set up ...

mention to me was that my cake was 2 hours late..i found out just before we where to enter the reception hall
Very inexpensive for what you are getting. Excellent food everyone raved about it. We had the grand ballroom and the dance floor was huge. Didn't feel like a 'reception hall' -- the chair were very nice so we didn't need chair cover...
