We had our daughter’s baby shower here and could not be happier. The space is just lovely and Maria was beyond helpful in making the day perfect!

I photographed a wedding here. This place is a GEM. There's a great park nearby too which we used for portraits.

A coat and cell phone were stolen. I withheld writting this review for 2 weeks while we tried to sort it out amongst ourselves, but at this point no one in the party has a extra coat and cell phone last pinged at the locale. There were 3 random people at the party who were with the staff but not staff. Tried to be cool with it, but no not any more. Shady practices, DO NOT recommend!

My husband and I were here for our friends' wedding. Well-kept grounds, parking in the back...very nice overall. Everyone who worked there were very helpful. The ladies who brought out the food were so sweet; my husband, me, and the man-of-honor were having such a wonderful conversation outside that we missed dinner being served. We asked if there was any food left- there still was a lot- and the ladies made us plates, so we could still eat (they even asked if we wanted to take some home when there were still leftovers at the end of the night). Overall, it was a nice venue for a wedding (roughly 45 people).

I recently had a 75th birthday party for my father and I couldnt be happier how everything turned out. The Carriagehouse is absolutely wonderful! It was the perfect space. We set up inside and also had some tables outside. I didnt even need to have a DJ because I made a playlist and their sound system is great! Maria was so helpful. She gave me great ideas and knew exactly what to do. She also gave me a great food recommendation and everyone loved it. It was a very memorable experience and I highly recommend it.

The venue is gorgeous. But the real gem is Maria, who helped us create the vision we had for our baby shower. Maria allows you to use the items from previous events for centerpieces and other decorations. All though this is a complete DIY space, Maria helped with it all and the place really doesn’t need much because it’s already beautiful. We will definitely have more events here in the future.

RUN!!50 dB MAX. Is a conversationPROS: The venue itself is beautiful! Great location, parking on premise and close to all major highways. Commercial kitchen and flexible set up times.CONS: Maria and her husband are rude and nasty. The week of the event, Maria started to give me a difficult time regarding my set-up, decor, caters, etc. She offers to lend you decor but then gives you a difficult time to set it up the way you want. Maria wanted to be in control of my daughters sweet 16 the entire time. She was overbearing with my servers, family and everyone who was assisting. The DJ arrived and set up, he had the music loud, if you are in the music business, when doing sound check the volume is high to equalize everything, the DJ had just turned on the music & it had not even played for 10 seconds, before she came RUNNING across the room, up the stairs to the stage to YELL @ my DJ in front of other vendors. Maria, had to constantly put her 2 cents in about how I was setting up, the layout, the food etc. She even said to me I was all over the place with my ideas... I WAS NOT because EVERYONE was AMAZED at how BEAUTIFUL my decor came out. She repeatedly stated she had 23 yrs of experience & I didn't.I don't want to say it's a racial thing.... however, when she asked about where I was catering my food, i answered her with it's going to be Spanish food, Maria NEEDED to know where, what town and how much I was spending, she proceeded to say she always has Dominican parties there and always eats Moro, Pernil etc. I'm not Dominican... and nothing against DR. Bc my children are half Puerto Rican and Half Dominican. But the amt of times she mentioned it, was pretty offensive.I ordered from balloon world the balloon arch for the party. She asked where and how much. Then told me I could do it myself. I expressed I had enough on my plate, she then said I paid too much money. I actually didn't!! I got a GREAT DEAL.I sent her a text message the night prior expressing my concern for the hall being dirty &the bathrooms being filthy! She DIDNT RESPOND. I sent a follow up text to be told it was "taken care of and she was in a meeting". Well not only was the bathroom still dirty and not cleaned. My guest noticed and complained to me. HOW EMBARRASSING!!!Little did Maria know there were a few very known individuals from the Spanish entertainment industry. One of the individuals who has 5 Grammys & 4 others who work at the radio station.She told me she had cleaned....... I wonder what defines as clean! The sink had hair in it, and a thick layer of dust. I literally ran my finger on the sink and saw the dust on my index finger!!Maria wanted me to rent the tablecloths from her. When I told her I was going to purchase them, she proceeded to tell me that Amazon has bad quality tablecloths & that hers are better. Proceeded to tell me that at a prior event the party had issues bc the chair covers came in broken... she would say anything just to get you to rent from her. I did not rent anything!!!! I bought it so I can reuse it!When we were setting up, Maria told me to plug in my phone so I can hear any music I want. As my sister in law, who does floral arrangements was setting up, Maria CONTINUOUSLY put classical music. My sister in law would shut it off, as she was the one in the room setting up the floral arrangements. Maria was upstairs. She proceeded to tell my SIL that classical music is very good music. Nobody is disagreeing. However, if I paid for that time to set up & I was told I could put 'MY MUSIC, why was she imposing her classical music on us??Maria was OVERBEARING TO SAY THE LEAST!!Her husband closed the door as we were bringing boxes in to set up, I asked why he would close the door as we are bringing in boxes and in a VERY RUDE tone he told us, we needed to MOVE FASTER.I honestly really wanted to love everything about this place. If Maria was NOT the person in charge, I would definitely rent the venue again. Unfortunately, she runs the events & I will NEVER rent

My boyfriend and I had our baby shower there and it was absolutely incredible! Not only was the space big enough to hold both of our families, but the parking lot was also very convenient. Maria was super helpful and thought of a lot that we had forgotten about. She’s truly an asset to the Carriagehouse. Thank you again!

I was thoroughly disappointed with the lack of follow up and was ghosted by the manager. I emailed and called her averse times to no avail. I was left scrambling to find another venue. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Poor management and absolutely unprofessional.
