Highgate Carriage House Reviews

The Highgate Carriage House first of all, is absolutely beautiful! I loved spending time there doing walk throughs, decorating, and on the wedding day. Honestly, it doesn't require being overly decorated because it's gorgeous already. Chasity a...
nd Tyler are both very nice to work with, are very quick to answer questions and were on call during the entire rental period. We were very happy with everything.

Thank you so much for the kind words. You were a joy to work with and we are glad to see you love Highgate so much! We wish you all the best!
If I could, I wouldn’t give this place 1 star! Very poor communication about things on the grounds! The person I communicated with from the date we signed the contract and a week until the wedding was no where to be found during our disastrous ...
day. Unsafe walkways that caused numerous falls! 10/10 would NOT recommend! Go spend your money elsewhere and get people who are actually helpful and honest! Our wedding turned out well because we (family, friends, my husband and I) worked our asses off! I have been unable to make a Facebook review so I will start with The Knot. Maybe someone else can be saved from choosing this terrible venue! But hey I guess they at least had two squeegees to help with tent flooding.. so helpful 🙄

Dear Miranda, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us; however, we regret to learn that you were anything less than satisfied with your experience here at Highgate Carriage House. With that said, we would like to note th...
at your contract and level of rental did not include same-day, on-site services. We do offer same-day coordinating services; however, as previously mentioned, you and your spouse opted out of those services. To address the rain in the tent the day of your ceremony, we are again regretful of the circumstances; however, you did not purchase a rental agreement for the tent space, therefore it was donated to you free of charge. Our records indicate that you attempted to rent the tent space approximately one month before your wedding date; however, we informed you that our tent was severely damaged due to a storm earlier in the summer. Thankfully, you were able to share the cost of a tent rented from a third party with the wedding party that preceded yours; however, that third-party tent was not built for our concrete platform and there were concerns that, should inclement weather occur, there may be an issue. Having been made fully aware of this possibility, you yourself signed an agreement stating, "client was made aware if any rain/inclement weather, the renter is responsible to tend to the outdoor ceremony chairs and also the outdoor tent (A few towels and squeegees are provided for this reason should rain be in the forecast.)" Again we are truly sorry that you were dissatisfied with your time at Highgate Carriage House, but considering formal contractual agreements signed by you and your party, we can say with a clear conscience that we did our utmost to be as accommodating as possible to you and your guests.
This venue is to die for! We had our wedding in January and wanted a venue that would still look beautiful in pictures even in the winter time. The beautiful architecture and well manicured lawns made our pictures turn out more magical that I i...
magined. Although Ive only seen pictures of it during the spring/summer I believe that, if the venue was gorgeous in the middle of winter, the spring/summer when their garden is in bloom and the fountain is running must be beautiful as well.
The staff were very accommodating to wishes, quick to respond/answer questions and were flexible with us moving some of the smaller decor around and out of sight if we wanted to. I also loved that we got the venue for 2.5 days. Setting up the entire day before the wedding was a LIFESAVER!! and not having to worry about cleaning everything up afterwards was so nice for everyone helping out.
I highly recommend this venue, we've had so many compliments on it and our pictures!
Everything was perfect! They went above and beyond to make sure that everything was exactly how we wanted it.
Highgate Carriage House is such a highly recommendable place to have your wedding! The staff is so nice and willing to help however they can. Our wedding was absolutely gorgeous! We are so happy we went with them!
