Luscious & Sweet Gourmet Bakery

We had our cake made through the Carriage House. We had a 5 layer cake with white raking on the side, and every layer was a different flavor. Which wasn’t more money! We got so many compliments on the cake how beautiful it was and how amazing it tasted. The cake tasted absolutely delicious!! We can’t wait to eat the first anniversary cake, I am sure it will still be delicious!

As part of our package with the Carriage House, Luscious & Sweet made our wedding cake and Viennese table for our wedding reception. The amount of styles and designs were endless, but when we told our baker what it was we were looking for she was able to bring it to life. I'm used to either a cake tasting good, but not being pretty or vice versa, but that was far from the case with our cake! It was beautiful and tasted amazing! The Viennese options were a huge hit too!

Our cake was beautiful and delicious!

Luscious and Sweet is an amazing bakery, and the area's best kept secret! The quality, texture and flavor of their cake is outstanding. The design and artistry is absolutely flawless! The customer service at the bakery is like no other, they are so accommodating and kind. I will definitely use Luscious and Sweet for my wedding cake, and any occasions to come. I HIGHLY recommend this amazing bakery! - Brittany H.

Our wedding cake was as gorgeous as it was delicious. Blair, the baker, did a phenomenal job matching the pictures I sent her of the cake I had in mind. I could have eaten the entire 4-tier cake myself, and I'm not usually a cake eater. My husband and I plan to order a cake for our anniversary from Luscious & Sweet, even though we have to travel 3 hours each way to get it. Worth it!

Extremely massive with a beautiful big dance floor. Excellent service and food!

The Carriage House went above and beyond what I expected. They were constantly making sure everything was perfect. The only thing I didn't appreciate was when I was upstairs getting ready for my big day they were showing the venue to others. I paid to get their earlier so no one besides my wedding party and guests should have been there. My family who seen that didn't like that. Besides that everyone loved the venue.. Gorgeous place!

I have so many wonderful things to say about the Carriage House, but I know as a searching Bride you aren't going to read the whole thing… so I will make this short and sweet. If I had all the money in the world and could do my wedding over again, I would still choose the Carriage House. They simply made our wedding day beyond perfect and truly made me feel like a complete princess. I didn't have a SINGLE worry the entire day - it was dreamy to be honest. Kristin sold us on the venue, Lauren did an incredible job helping us plan every step of the way, and the entire staff treated us like royalty the day of. If you can, use this as your venue. I promise you, it will be the wedding you have always dreamed of. Best wishes!

The Carriage House was the venue for both our ceremony and reception and it was perfect! Every member of the staff was so unbelievably helpful day of the took such good care of all of my bridal party, family and guests everyone is still raving. Carly and Lauren were amazing throughout the planning process. They worked with me through every step and made sure I was happy and comfortable with everything and made changes constantly as I changed my mind back and forth. They were always available to answer questions and I always felt important. They kept everything moving so well so we were able to enjoy the entire day. I could not thank all of them enough or asked for a better venue for my wedding day.

Our cake was even more beautiful than we imagined! And it tasted even better!!

Kristen and the staff at The Carriage House were beyond phenomenal! They were always prompt to answer emails or get back on a phone call. We went through several meetings and got every detail down pact. It made one of the most stressful but most memorable days of my life, less stressful and allowed me to take in every moment. On behalf of Angelo and I, we want to whole heartedly thank you for giving us the experience of a lifetime.

The Carriage House was beautiful. Working with Carly, Lauren and Kristen was a pleasure. Wedding was like a fairy tale. Food was delicious. Staff was friendly and professional. All Guests commented that it was one of the best weddings they attended.

I would highly recommend the Carriage House to anyone looking for their wedding venue! The venue itself is beautiful and the service is amazing! The staff was wonderful to work with and our day went by without fault due to them! Our guests praised the staff for their service and professionalism. Our wedding day was everything we asked for and more. The Carriage House went above and beyond and we enjoyed working with every person we met throughout the planning process.

There is a reason Luscious and Sweet is listed as one of The Knot’s best bakeries for wedding cakes: IT IS! Not only do they offer the best baked goods we’ve ever eaten, but they were extremely helpful and accommodating. From the moment we first spoke with them over the phone, they were professional, friendly, caring, and not at all pushy. They were more than happy to provide us with all the information we needed, look at pictures of designs we liked, discuss what they could do for us, and estimate a very accurate and reasonable price. After seeing a picture of the design we liked, the wedding coordinator came right out and told us they had never done anything like it before. Instead of suggesting a different design, however, she was super excited to try something new and guaranteed it would look gorgeous! When we met with her for our tasting, we were completely blown away! To our great surprise and enjoyment, she didn’t come out with a tray of sample bites of cake, like most bakeries do; she came out with three sample cakes! These cakes were literally the size of those “individual” pies from grocery store bakeries and tasted beyond describable. My husband and I are not huge dessert people, but we ate every single bite; they were SO good! The day of the wedding our cake was delivered right before the wedding ceremony began, so it would be as fresh as possible for the reception, and looked stunning! Somehow, Luscious and Sweet did an even better job with the design than the picture; all of us were blown away by the beauty of it. When it was time to cut the cake, it tasted as amazing as it looked…maybe even better if that’s possible =). Our guests and wedding coordinator (yes, the man who works with hundreds of weddings a year) all asked where the cake came from; none of them could believe it was a traditional wedding cake with the amazing moistness, creamy and mouth-melting icing, and overall delectableness! As the plates were cleared away, there was not one crumb left. We are both so excited for our one year anniversary simply so we can have the topper all to ourselves =D. I truly can’t describe the deliciousness of Luscious and Sweet bakery except to say the name says it all. If you want the most beautiful and delicious wedding cake you could ever imagine, talk to the people at Luscious and Sweet; you WON’T be disappointed!

I cannot say enough positive things about the Carriage House in 3500 words. They were very accommodating and made the day go smooth and flawless. First, my wife and I live out of state and had multiple meetings and skype sessions to ensure we were all on the same page with the menu and the day's events. Next, the venue is stunningly beautiful and ideal for those wanting ceremony and reception at one location. We had a lot of people from out of town so it was nice they only had to go to one spot. They had multiple options for ceremony location including outside in a lovely courtyard. They even had the flexibility to move the ceremony inside if the weather was bad - something we were fortunate not to need. They had a bridal and groom suite where you could chill as guests were arriving too which was cool and fun. Next, the staff was attentive and accommodating. Shout out to Carly and Lauren who were rockstars and kept everything on point and on time. Towards the end of the night, I asked the wait-staff for a coffee beverage with baileys and kahlua and the whipped it up in a moment. When other people in line got wind of what they did, they had to make a few more. From a price perspective, we thought they were good for what you receive - lots of things were included in our package and they were very flexible in moving things around as well (we moved an hor d'oeuvre to the end of the night for a late night snack - it was a hit!). They provided a cake, ice sculpture and champagne tower. They really made the main ballroom look gorgeous and followed our table design to a T. Happiest day of both the bride and groom. A must if you want a South Jersey wedding!

We used Luscious and Sweet for our recent wedding and the cake was perfect. We only wanted a small grooms cake just for the cutting, yet they made sure it was perfect. They even let us come in for a full tasting and were always very thorough and professional.

The Carriage House was absolutely amazing to work with and they made our wedding everything and more. The venue itself is spectacular and we have some amazing pictures. The food was incredible!! Everyone is still raving about how much food there was. Kristin and Lauren were great to work with and we can't thank them enough for making it such a fantastic day for us.

Awesome venue! It was beautiful they did everything we asked of them and they accommodated 255 people!! Very expensive but worth it!

I had my daughter's birthday at The Carriage House and it was AMAZING!!! From the decor, ambiance and the food, we were so pleased. Our guests were talking about it long after the party. The service was impeccable and they made sure everything went smoothly. A success for sure.

We initially booked another wedding venue and due to hurricane Sandy it was destroyed. We ended up at The Carriage House and it couldn't of been better, our day was perfect. From the beginning everyone was so nice, professional and have an amazing attention to detail. I was not stressed throughout the planning process because they took care of everything. Kristen Steelman and Lauren Olden were great and you can email them anytime with anything and they take get back to you very quickly. I would recommend The Carriage House to anyone and my wedding was better than I dreamed.

My wedding was on July 19, 2013. It was a fairly large wedding which consisted of 150 guests. Let me begin by saying the day was absolutely flawless and amazing. My husband and I couldn’t be happier. The Carriage House absolutely completed our wedding. I must say that I planned our wedding for two years because I wanted to be married at there. The staff is absolutely astonishing. They followed through with every little detail. They fluffed my dress right before I went down the aisle. They made sure I had water throughout the day. There was someone by my side to get my husband and me anything needed. They kept everything on schedule, worked closely with our vendors, and were so extraordinary. It was the most amazing experience. We are extremely pleased with our choice to have our wedding at the carriage house.

To the Carriage House team, thank you for all your efforts to make our day perfect. Everything was beyound awesome. The team made sure everything was time coordinated and that we had all our wishes satisfied. The venue was gorgeous and the food was incredible. We thought we could never afford this kind of wedding and we were sirprised that it was affordable and the package included all the food,drinks, an ice sculpture and the cake. Our ceremony was outside and the team did a great job with decoration. We cannot say thank you enough for giving us our dream wedding in such short notice. You are the best of the best. To anyone looking for your wedding venue look no further the carriage house is the best. Mario & Marusya

wished we could have afforded this venue, but it was great to check out and i have been to a number of weddings and events here and loved it.

I AM VERY HAPPY THAT ME AND MY WIFE CHOSE TO HAVE OUR WEDDING AT THE CARRIAGE HOUSE. THE STAFF WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND THEY EVEN WORKED WITH US BECAUSE WE WERE RUNNING A LITTLE BEHIND SCHEDULE. BUT ALL IN ALL IF I COULD I WOULD GIVE THEM 1,000,000 STARS.

The Carriage House was an amazing place for our wedding June 1, 2013. It is a beautiful venue and the staff was incredible. Kristin and Lauren were very accommodating and did a fantastic job of making sure everything ran smoothly. I couldn't have imagined the day being any better and would definitely recommend it.

We looked at 6 other venues before seeing the Carriage house. The second we saw it we new that was the place we wanted to get married. They worked with us on lowering the minimum so we could have the bigger room and we could be the only event that day. They were always quick with getting back to me with all my questions. The Carriage House is amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to get married. There are a ton of awesome spots for pictures, the food was amazing and everyone kept telling how good the flow was, no waiting or not knowing where to go. There's not one bad thing I could say about them. I loved the venue and me wedding was awesome because of it.

The dedication and attentiveness of the staff at The Carriage House always made me feel like ours was the only event that they were planning. I was a very detail oriented bride and a little nervous but they made me feel secure that my wedding would be as magical as I imagined it to be - and it was! They were so accommodating of all our decor requests and very flexible when it came time to plan our menu. Since we were planning the wedding from a distance of about 2 hours away, communication via email and phone were so important because we couldn't always just hop over there for a meeting and they never disappointed. Whenever were were able to meet at the venue, we always found it to be pristine; everything was very clean and polished and the grounds well maintained. Our wedding day exceeded all my expectations. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive to my guests and didn't appear to lose any energy even late into the night (we had an after party that lasted 1.5 hrs after the reception). The food was incredibly delicious! I know most brides eat very little at the reception - but I made sure I sat down and ate because I didn't want to miss out! From our initial meeting all the way through to the end, I couldn't have asked for better service or a more perfect night. Carly, our Sales Associate was enthusiastic, patient, organized, creative, and obviously passionate about her job. Kristin, the Director, helped turn many of my ideas into reality and oversaw the whole process with dedication, efficiency and an eagle eye while always keeping her sense of humor. I never doubted that I was in good hands - they made my dream wedding come true. Everything about my experience with The Carriage House exceeded my expectations!

The carriage house could not have been more perfect for our wedding. The staff and coordinators were so accomodating and everything was absolutely amazing. Anything we needed, we got. We decided to change our venue to outside the day before our wedding and they had no problem changing everything. Every person at our wedding was absolutely taken back by the elegance of the whole set up. It was all breath taking and the food was amazing as well. Not one complaint from any of us for this venue. You get your money's worth and everything is so amazing!

We were soooo pleased with choosing the Carriage House for our wedding. From the start of the wedding planning process to the very last minute they helped us to make every last detail come true. They worked so hard to assure that all our needs were met and that we would not have to worry about anything. They were so amazing with letting me do a lot of homemade things for our wedding and helping me to make all our dreams come true. From the food to the cake to the exceptional service we were more than pleased with it all! We received the most amazing compliments on everything! The best food and most beautiful wedding we could have ever dreamt of!

If you want to have an amazing wedding, book at the Carriage House! I cannot say enough good things about them! I fell in love with the venue and its unique design from the moment I saw it. Our guests were completely blown away by the venue. It is new, clean, modern and screams class. It was beautiful, the food was delicious, and everyone was so accomodating. Anything we requested, they made it happen. Kristin Steelman, Carly Wentz, and Kathy Betterton were awesome! Kathy makes her brides feel like celebrities and gives them the royal treatment the day of the wedding. If I had to do it all over again, I would still pick the Carriage House. Our guests are still raving about it all!

HIGHLY recommend! The carriage is beautiful, and the staff provides exceptional service. Guests are still raving :) So happy we decided to have our wedding here!

For all of the brides out there, or mothers of the bride or groom, wanting a beautiful and delicious wedding cake, please choose Luscious and Sweet and I promise you won't be disappointed!!!! We went to Luscious and Sweet after having a bad experience with a bakery that I had dealt with for years, who just flat out told us they could not and would not do a simple cupcake tier, after we ordered it and paid the deposit. I am very glad I did!!!! The head chef and her assistant met with me at the last minute and were very helpful. They were very nice and assured me they could give us whatever type of cake we wanted, even though the wedding was only a little over two weeks away!!!! They listened to our thoughts on what we wanted and made some really nice suggestions on ways to make the cake even more beautiful. The cake was gorgeous and tasted wonderful!!!! We were very pleased and I am so glad we chose them!!!! I will be using them for all my events in the future and recommending them to anyone else that might need their services. Thank you, Luscious and Sweet for turning what could have been a major wedding problem, into a very pleasant experience!!!!

We ordered the chocolate ganache cake. OMG!!! That is the best cake ever! People were asking at the wedding and on facebook later, where did we get our wedding cake. Super cute little bakery. Very professional, they gave a outstanding cake presentation with Kirstin. She was very professional and the pastry chef is beyond this world talented. I can't wait to stop by the bakery and try another of their delicious desserts.

My husband, parents and I went for a tasting at Luscious and Sweet. They gave us quite a few options to taste and everything was delicious! We decided on a chocolate chip cake with buttercream frosting and chocolate creme filling. The frosting was the best I had ever tasted! We got married on the beach and wanted a beach-themed cake. I sent their head baker some pictures and was not disappointed on the day of! Our cake was exactly what we wanted and tasted so good! My only recommendation would be to undercut your guest count by at least 30 because we had so much extra cake, but for as good as it was it wasn't the worst thing! The day after our wedding we were in our rental house packing up and we decided to take a break and some bridesmaids, my parents, my new husband and I sat in the living room and ate some cake! It was still so moist and delicious even the day after. They were great, everything I expected!

Our Wedding cake is gorgeous!! And amazing, the best cake I have ever had! I did have issue however when I TRIED to order a grooms cake, and I put the order in and just needed to finalize payment when the old pastry manager had left the company. So I was never called back, when I finally called they had first said they lost the order. They finally found it, but the price had changed and what was initially included was no longer included.

The Carriage House is such a breathtaking venue. The guest could not stop raving about the chandeliers, the layout of the room or the decor. It's only a few years old so everything is new, contempory and beautiful. During the wedding Denise treated us like royalty. She took care of everything, made sure we ate and made sure not only we, but our families/bridal party, were happy at all times and always had a drink. From the minute we arrived and she greeted us at the door in such a calm manner we knew that we would have nothing to worry about. Guests raved about the suckling pig and macaroni, cheese bar and amazing desserts. Our only issue with the carriage house is that once the contract is signed they do not negotiate. Most places will throw in a few extras or cut you a break but the Carriage House did not. In fairness though their prices are very reasonable.

Everything was wonderful. No complaints!

I can't say enough about how wonderful the Carriage House is. The most beautiful venue inside and out, the most dedicated and attentive staff, and delicious food that my guests can't stop talking about! Kristin was so helpful through the whole wedding process, she always answered all of my questions quickly and she went out of her way to help make my dream wedding fit my budget. Denise is amazing--you definitely won't need to hire a wedding planner! She ran our entire wedding (ceremony and reception) seamlessly. I knew at my detail meeting that I had no reason to be nervous or feel stressed about anything. I can't thank her enough--or her amazing, dedicated wait staff. I am so excited to be attending someone else's wedding at the Carriage House this coming May so that my husband (!!!! : )) and I can enjoy from a different perspective!

I had my reception at The Carrige House in Galloway, NJ. My experience was fabulous. The place is beautiful and the staff is great. Kristen (a coordinator) worked very hard to ensure that we could get everything we wanted for our day and that we were comfortable with our contract. Denise (the woman who coordinates the reception) was FANTASTIC. Even my photographer (who's done tons of weddings) said Denise was the best she's ever worked with. I would highly recommend this facility for any occasion.

My wedding at The Carriage House was in September 2009. I was so incredibly impressed from the moment I walked in. Kristin (who was my first contact there) was really helpful, kind, and genuinely excited for me as well as getting my business. I had a list of five places to visit, but in my heart after the first stop (The Carriage House), I was sold. The event itself was such an amazing success - largely due to Denise's ability to run an evening as a true professional. The food tasting was perhaps my husband's favorite part- and the guests truly loved the food. We chose a buffet in the foyer because of the amount of tables to accommodate my 213 guests. Dinner was executed perfectly, and no beat was skipped. Our cocktail hour featured the mashed potato bar (total hit) and open bar. I found the prices at The Carriage House to be in line with other venues around, but the quality, service and value to be unparallel to the area. I'm sincerely grateful for the Staff and Management of The Carriage House for making my wedding so special. Every step of the way, either Kristin or Denise was able to answer any question or make suggestions for the event. I'd love to attend a wedding there sometime and get the guest experience, but take it from a Bride... it was the best!

I picked the Carriage House for my January wedding because I was looking for a venue that had a beautiful interior for photos. When I walked in and saw the stunning lobby, I was convinced this was the place. From that point on, I was only more and more impressed by the service, the great food, and the great lengths that the staff went to make my day perfect. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. The Carriage House is the perfect venue to your big day!

words cannot describe this place, it is amazing. Not only does it LOOK amazing, but thier staff is also amazing- Kristen, Denise and Kathy kept everything in line for us from planning all the way to the end of the reception. This truly is a first class facility with first class service. It looks beautiful, food was great, service was great. Our day was even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined, I would recommend The Carriage House to anyone!

I can't say enough great things! Venue is outstanding, food was amazing, staff was wonderful and went above and beyond!

I am a Carriage House Bride and was married this past June. My husband and I would not have spent our Wedding Day anywhere else! In reading the other reviews, I would like to state that while reviewing the contract upon signing, purchasing event insurance is completely up to the individual. It is not required. We did not purchase insurance for the venue and were perfectly fine. The wedding went on without a hitch and was the best day of both our lives. Thank you to all the Carriage House staff for making us feel so special during all of our Wedding planning! :)

this place is a total rip off! it's fairly priced on the surface until you learn that you need to purchase your own insurance for the day of the event. being an LLC they are not responsible for a person falling on the property, getting burnt by hot coffee, tripping on a stair or anything else. the insurance alone would have been hundreds of dollars extra for a menu that isn't that diverse! i got out of the contract before it was too late. that was the ONLY good thing about this place.

The Carriage House is not only a beautiful, picturesque place to celebrate your wedding day, it is fully staffed with the most kind, thoughtful, capable staff one could hope for. Kristin Steelman and Denise Smith become your right and left hand! Our day was prepared so well and all of our prewedding questions were answered by Kristin-at a moments notice! And Denise was completely responsible for making our day go smoothly-without a single worry. My husband and I felt like royalty and the entire staff was eager to please. From the bus-people, valet workers to the servers/bartenders and chefs, everyone worked hard to make our day delightful! You CANNOT have your wedding ANYWHERE else other than the Carriage House!!! Thank you so much to our friends at the Carriage House! <3 Mr. and Mrs. Southrey 6*6*10
