    Best Wedding Experience Ever

    Let me just say my experience with Carl House from start to finish was just AMAZING. I love how the Carl House does the Carl House Experience (CHE) for we could try different foods on the menu and meet a variety of wonderful vendors. During the CHE process my husband and I selected our menu and we got amazing review from all of our guest. A lot people found out they actually like Brussel sprouts. Here it is 2 months from the day of my wedding I am still craving the delicious food which says a lot about. Also, from the CHE, I was able to choose a make up artist, DJ, Car rental company, wedding cake person and...

    Amazing Venue!!

    I cannot say enough good things about The Carl House. From the moment we started talking to them, they were incredible. Kim was amazing with her responsiveness and showing us around the grounds. She was patient with us while we toured and with all the questions we had when we were going through the contract. And then Lindy, their in house florist, was wonderful! Lindy was so patient with us - we emailed her A LOT! And oh my gosh- did she deliver!!! She did such a beautiful job on the wedding day. She offered different price rates for each item, and they were all reasonable. And even if we chose a cheaper option, it didn't feel like it....
