We're so glad we booked our small ceremony at Carlyle House! While we initially planned to get married on the front lawn, we pivoted to their tent on the veranda due to rain and it was just as perfect. Randi was so responsive leading up to the big day and was there to help on our wedding day, including helping wrangle our golden retriever!

We LOVED having our wedding at Woodend! Beatriz was so helpful and answered all of our questions, as well as keeping us updated as the tent set up changed over this past year. The new tent is gorgeous and the whole venue is so gorgeous, including the grounds! We were happy to keep our decor minimal and let the mansion’s beauty shine, and we got so many compliments on the venue’s set up of having the dance space (Main Hall) separated from the dinner seating (tent). We also loved Woodend’s gorgeous property, which really shined for our late October wedding. Would fully recommend considering Woodend for your wedding - plenty of parking, beautiful space, great team, and your venue fee goes to a great charitable cause.
