Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most incredible experience hosting our wedding at the Carriage house! It has been taken over by Prime Hospitality catering who did an amazing job from start to finish! Our guests raved over the food, waitstaff, and bartenders! Katie and her team took care of every single aspect of our wedding which allowed my husband and I, our families, and our bridal party to be stress free and enjoy the day! I could go on and on about how amazing our wedding day was! Not a single thing went wrong, Katie and her team decorated the venue beautifully, the service was fantastic, and our guests continue to reach out about how beautiful the wedding venue was. It was better than I could’ve ever expected! I hope that the Carriage House starts to see an increase in weddings at their venue because they are truly amazing at their job! Katie coordinated and helped me with planning the wedding out from day 1. She worked relentlessly behind the scenes to ensure we had a great day. The food was the best wedding meal I have ever had and I’m not just saying that because I had my wedding here. The restaurant associated with the caterers “Brandywine Prime” makes amazing food. I will admit when initially wedding planning I was unsure of the carriage house due to the lack of online presence and photos of recent weddings. It is truly a hidden gem and definitely worth considering for your wedding day!!

Choosing Elizabeth Furnace as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made! Our entire experience, from the initial planning to the big day itself, exceeded all our expectations, resulting in an experience that was nothing short of perfection. The property itself is a true gem – meticulously manicured and unlike anything else in the area. Its unique blend of elegant, gardenesque charm and contemporary touches left us in awe. From the beautifully appointed bridal suite and cozy groom's suite to the enchanting gardens and the classy reception space, this venue was a dream come true. The venue also offered a multitude of unique photo opportunities around every corner, ensuring that our wedding album is filled with stunning memories against a backdrop of natural beauty and architectural elegance. One of the things we loved most was the seamless and all-inclusive experience provided by JDK for catering. Working with Alyssa, both for the venue and catering, was an absolute pleasure. Her unwavering attention to detail, warm and approachable demeanor, and genuine excitement to be part of our wedding day made all the difference. Elizabeth Furnace made our wedding day truly unforgettable. It's a place where timeless beauty meets modern elegance, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. If you're looking for a venue that will surpass your wildest dreams, this is it. Thank you, Elizabeth Furnace, for helping us create a day we will cherish forever!
