The inn is in an old house with modern conveniences. Our breakfast vouchers were accompanied by handwritten notes. When I entered my room, I was greeted by the smell, the pleasant smell of old wood. The location was very convenient, being close both MTSU and downtown. The snacks were convenient when my son got hungry. One night, I ordered delivery to avoid going out in a threatened thunderstorm. The kitchen and dining room were very useful. Overall, there was lots of character. I suppose you could consider the broken, very out of tune piano to be a part. (The middle F key is impeded from striking strings. When you and your son are big music fans, you notice such things.) read more

The venue: beautiful and has a lot of Southern Charm with hardwood floors, brick wall, beautiful porch with greenery, and antique furniture but has just enough that's been updated to make it look great while keeping all the important character! Also had a beautiful carriage in the front that we were able to use to take pictures in!! The decor/day of coordinator: Molly (the day of coordinator) made our wedding reception seamless. She was communicative at all the right times to smooth out the details ahead of time to make sure our wedding was perfect and everything we wanted was taken care of. She did a great job on the decor and at a great price! The food was amazing! Afterwards, the guests kept talking about the food not being "gross wedding food" it was amazing food! I couldn't recommend them more for a wedding or reception venue! read more

Croissants were the bomb. My crepe is the best I have had and the rich, fruit-filled filling is decadent. The whipped cream tasted made from scratch. The fruit salad seemed more like a chutney than a traditional fruit salad. Stellar Mother's Day meal. If you haven't eaten here since the new owners took over, you definitely should go. read more

The venue is amazing! But the kitchen is the size of broom closet and has inadequate prep or planning area!

We had a lovely intimate wedding for our son during COVID at CLI. We felt safe during COVID with their attention to hygiene, masks, etc. The bride and groom families spent the weekend together there in separate cottages, including the night before and breakfast after. I can't say enough about the quality of the venue, cottages where we stayed, meals and the amazing attention to detail that Victoria, Molly and their staff provided for us. They made us feel we were part of their family and Molly made sure that everything was beautiful and no detail was forgotten. She saved us several times- including when the band got sick the day before and she found us a DJ with 24 hour notice! The outside baker hadn't decorated the wedding cake, expecting the florist would, so Molly improvised and found extra flowers from the bouquets to decorate for us! It was beautiful! We are certain they would pull off a wonderful affair even when you can have larger weddings safely again. read more

This place is owned by awesome people that go the extra mile for their clients! Highly recommend!

The Carriage Lane Inn is one of the best places in Murfreesboro to have your wedding or event. The staff was so helpful, professional and made the wedding I was photographing a special event for the bride & groom. Miller Photography read more

I planned a wedding that took place at Carriage Lane Inn this past weekend. Victoria, the current owner (she's owned it 2 1/2 years), could not have been nicer to work with, and I was impressed by every aspect of this venue. Victoria is very friendly and works very hard to ensure all customers and guests are satisfied. I really loved working with her and hope another wedding or event occurs here so that I might have the pleasure of working with her again. The venue, about a half mile from the Murfreesboro square, is a Victorian house with several properties next to it including a cottage, bed & breakfast and VIP suite. The wedding took place in the garden, and while an outdoor December wedding is risky, we enjoyed beautiful 70 degree weather. Victoria had the arbor over which the bride and groom stood beautifully decorated with greenery, flowers and ribbon. We had seating for 90 with plenty of room remaining, so the capacity is larger than it looks upon first glance. We then moved into the ballroom for dinner and the reception. Each table had three beautiful crystal candle holders on them of varying sizes for a very classic, sophisticated look. I was also able to see the VIP suite, which is where the bride and groom stayed after the wedding. It's equipped with a kitchenette, a large bedroom with king-sized bed under a canopy that should make one feel like royalty, an adjacent bathroom with jacuzzi tub and a sitting room. We also had excellent food both Friday night for our rehearsal dinner and Saturday for the reception provided by Carriage Lane. Friday night, we had a Mexican taco buffet with flavorful and tender shredded chicken, perfect guacamole, rice and black beans. On Saturday, the guests could choose between chicken in white wine sauce or pork loin, in addition to mashed potatoes and green beans. I did not try the chicken, but enjoyed the pork and vegetables. All of the food was lovely, and I now know why they were voted Best Caterer & Business Lunch in the area. I cannot say enough great things about my experience at Carriage Lane Inn! read more

The service was poorly organized. I found a large, long, black, hair in the chili, which they quickly changed while claiming it did not come from their staff. Well their staff had on flip-flops/open toe shoes without socks and filthy feet. I was confronted by one of the cooks who wanted to take me into the kitchen to show me that they had disposed of the offending chili. However, his heavy cigarette breath and nasty feet threw me aback and made me ill. I ended up not eating. I WOULD NEVER EVER RECOMMEND THIS VENUE FOR ANOTHER WEDDING OR AFFAIR. read more

I recently attended a wedding at Carriage Lane Inn it was beautiful and the food was amazing. I was impressed by the service we received, the staff was there for our every need and it was great everyone was working no was just standing around staring at us. read more

We reserved this location for an event and we were very disappointed. Employees did nothing and the lady running it was rude and rushed us. Was not cheap either. Avoid and use anywhere else. read more

We refrained form posting this as a public review hoping to hear from the innkeepers. After two emails and no replay here are our thoughts. We were quite disappointed in the Valentines Dinner Dance held at the Carriage Lane Reception House. The event was unorganized and overpriced at thirty dollars a plate. It's the only time we were ever required to pre pay for dinner at the time of reservation Your servers were polite, but seamed to be inexperienced. The food was absolutely deplorable. The prime rib was overcooked, dry and without Ajus. The vegetables were canned and over salted. The cheese cake surely was from a box mix. It tasted like something from a meat and three but worse. And since you had a larger than expected turn out, there pretty much was no dancing. We did go to The Vine as recommended, (for just a moment) hoping to get in some dancing in. But there was nothing romantic about the LOUD rock music in there. To say the least we would not recommend your establishments based on Feb 14ths evening. If you plan on doing this again next year, don't expect a large crowd based on this years performance. read more

For the past 4 years my family has frequented Murfreesboro multiple times a year, every time we stay at Carriage Lane Inn. It is the cleanest place I have ever stayed (and I am picky).It is obvious that the owners work very hard to make sure the guest are comfortable and cared for. The houses and gardens are beautiful, very relaxing getaway. read more

We held a Christmas party at Carriage Lane Inn. It was a great venue and the food was great! Victoria was very helpful getting things ready to go and was good to work with as well. We had a great party! read more

This place is a terrible wedding venue. Not because the place is pretty much a house and a small back yard, but because the staff has no idea what they are doing. The wedding coordinator was not even dressed professionally. The wedding area was outside in DECEMBER! It was raining. I couldn't believe the venue allowed an outside wedding in 40 degree weather but regardless you would think that they would have the staff wiping off chairs since it was raining. Very disappointing for the mother of the groom to have to sit on a wet chair. The officiant was also very unprofessional. He was fumbling over his papers the entire time but the worst part was after we all stood to watch the bride come down the aisle, the officiant never told us to be seated. We stood during the entire ceremony. The music was non existent. A 2 year old with an ipod could have done a better job starting the songs on time. The reception had a cd with a 3 song loop that played 4 times in a row the same 3 songs. The venue had not even considered music. I know this because the wedding coordinator not only didn't know how to use the mic but couldn't figure out the stereo. The "hor d'oeuvres" dinner was cheese and crackers and chicken fingers with bbq sauce and some type of quiche bites. The wallpaper in the reception hall was pealing off the walls. I would tell anyone planning a wedding to stay as far away from this place as possible! read more
