A hidden gem! We got so many compliments about our venue. It was the perfect size for our 50 guest wedding, but it could easily accommodate a few dozen more. There is a beautiful b...
ridal suite upstairs for getting ready in the morning and fun man cave downstairs for the men, complete with a few arcade games, dartboard, and a "vault" full of special spirits and cigars. The venue was refurbished a few years ago. Tracy was pleasant to work with and typically responds to non-urgent messages in a day or two. The only issues guests had were parking, but good signage can help with that. We were able to hold our ceremony and reception at the Carriage House, making for an easy, amazing experience for us and our guests.

The most dreamy venue for your intimate wedding! I got married here a little over a year ago, and still look back on how perfect our day was. The courtyard is a beautiful space for...
the ceremony, and carries inside to the reception space. Each space was so thoughtfully designed from the suites, to the bar, to the rustic loft, you will not regret having your wedding at The Carriage House! The Day of Coordination service was a no-brainer and took all the stress off for the wedding day! Truly the best day ever!
