I can’t say enough great things about Maria. I planned my sister’s bridal shower from Florida. Maria shared local vendors for food and music. The waitresses were very attentive. The shower was beautiful. Thank you Maria my family was very happy

Not be so racist! My sister called about booking the venue and scheduled an appointment for this past Saturday. A woman named Maria tried to convince my sister to NOT have her baby shower at the Carriage House. The woman Maria then told my sister and her fiancé to check out another venue before making her deposit. She told her to check it out and… get back in touch with her. Who tells someone to go somewhere else with their money when they are trying to pay?! She rushed my sister out the door to happily assist a white couple that was waiting. By 6:30 Sunday Morning, she received an

Had an event planned for July 18 and canceled due to the pandemic in May. I was informed by Maria that I could only get my deposit refunded if WCE was still closed on the date of my event and it is. I have emailed and called maria to no avail. No response via email and rushed off the phone with details when I called. It's a mess! Let's be FAIR

A wonderful day at this beautiful and quaint place! What a great place to have an event! From the beginning, I set out to find a location for my baby shower that would allow me the flexibility to really make it my own. I didn't want just another cookie cutter event at a venue with the same old menu and decor. When I found the carriage house online and I had the opportunity to view their gallery of past events, I knew this was the place for me. Maria is amazing! She was such a great help from start to finish , she was knowledgeable of things we were not prepared for and kept my stress level down

We used the venue for an educational workshop and could not have been happier. The environment was conducive to both productivity and relaxation. Many attendees ate lunch on the lawn where tables were set up and classical music was playing. Maria assisted us through the entire event, from planning to implementation. We would definitely book WCE again!
