Oh my God. Carrville inn. I just had my wedding here this last weekend. What a special place. We stayed here for the entire weekend. It is a drive to get to, but once you're there you don't want to be anywhere else. We toured the venue, maybe a year or two ago and at the time they were only doing five weddings a year is what Margie said, but it seems like they've really ramped up weddings as more vendors are familiar with the location and from their Instagram. They also updated their website and it's really nice.
They supply chairs and tables and helped tear down and clean them. Elizabeth (the facility coordinator) responded to my every text in a timely manner and answered all my questions and even double-checked on things for me, (they had rollaway beds and pack and plays for my friends flying in with children).
I do think they could put up lights in the orchard permanently, we had to buy some to hang before the wedding, but they did have a ladder. Luckily Elizabeth mentioned it to me beforehand so we had a chance to buy lights at Costco because once you're up there there's really nowhere to go and you don't have service unless you're on the Wi-Fi. I really don't mind this though because I really wanted to be disconnected lol.
They turned over the bridal cottage for us the night of our ceremony and reception and they put rose petals and made the bed look so fancy and gave us champagne and I thank you card. It was very sweet and special and I really appreciate them cleaning up everything. I know it was probably was very messy.
I don't know if they will offer this in the future instead of but I would love to be able to just book the bridal cottage for future anniversaries instead of booking the entire home, we love the main home but it is too expensive for just a couple. Even just renting out a room would be super sick. I don't care if there are other people there.
My husband's one request for our venue was to have a cigar bar, a lot of venues do not allow any form of smoking so it was great they have designated smoking areas. I would probably add smoking area signs but I get not wanting to impact the aesthetics of the space.
We designed our rehearsal dinner around the venue. Very cool saloon, and it was such a fun place for us all to gather and play music and watch movies and have games going so that was very very special. When I needed a break I could go sit on the very comfortable couches in the living room.
Also for anyone concerned, the venue is very modernized and I don't think we had a single thing we needed or would have wanted that they didn't have on site. Our guests staying on property could not believe how nice and maintained the house was. Pictures don't do it justice! read more
