  My FSIL looked at a Saturday night in September for her and told her she needed 200 guests, so you're good there, and it was 120 a person and not budging. They were so rude to her. Honestly I have heard the food there is not very good and they kind of have the attitude that they're the best in town and you should be lucky to have your wedding there. You're pretty much paying for gorgeous photos there. It is a very pretty venue though and feel free to try to negotiate with them but they're pretty firm

  I'm having my wedding there next weekend!  The facility is gorgeous and the people who work there have been amazing so far.  We had our tasting and the food was delicious!  It is def a pricey place and they only seem to give discounts on dates they have trouble booking.  We were able to get a small discount and it actually really helped keep us within our budget, but I think it was because it was an unbooked date in August.  The sales manager offered it in our initial meeting.  I don't think they give any discount for "popular" dates.  Def check it out and see everything because it is such a pretty place.

  My friend Julie just had her wedding there and it was beautiful! It is a bit pricey but totally worth it. Also if your going to spend the money on that venue make sure you have a rocking Dj.Mike from RunAwayWithUs Djs, did hers and it was non stop fun!

  Like you, I fell in love with The Carriage House, but they are a little over our budget.  I am in the process of negotiating with them right now, and they are willing to work with you.  They will "customize" a package for you, and significantly reduce the price.  My current package offers more than origianlly offered in the original package as well (vienesse dessert table, coffee and cordial station, intermezzo).  I am negotiating for a Friday night in August, so I am not sure if this plays a role in their willingness to work with us.  Overall, they have been great to work with, and I really hope to sign in the very near future.
