IS YOUR VENUE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED?
Yes. We do have two mounted mini-split units to heat/cool the banquet room as well as a full HVAC unit for the upstairs apartment.
WHAT IS THE DECORATING POLICY?
We ask that no open flame is used on the guest tables. (sternos are allowed for the buffet tables) Fake flower petals, confetti, and glitter are a big "no-no" as it takes forever to clean up and get rid of, and then no additional alterations to our permanent fixtures or furniture. We do allow a low-tack tape or command strips to be used on the walls to hang decorations!
IS YOUR VENUE HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE?
Being that The Carriage House is an older establishment, there are steps into the building. However, we are able to get a wheelchair/scooter through our barn doors with a small step up. The bathroom does have a step into it as well, but we have a ramp that can accommodate a wheelchair/scooter.
DO YOU HAVE AN EXCLUSIVITY POLICY WHEN IT COMES TO VENDORS?
No, we do not have a list of vendors that you have to use but we can give you recommendations for different vendors that we have had at The Carriage House!
WHERE IS THE PARKING LOCATED?
We have a grass/stone parking lot that is located adjacent to The Carriage House on the Northwest side. The entrance to the lot is across from the marina.
