From the reviews
This location was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! My sister was married her yesterday 8/25/19. The staff was accommodating. My sister made last minutes arrangement changes and they catered to her every need. The scenery, the ambiance, the location, decorations, and photographers!
Had the most beautiful wedding at Carmen’s Country Inn and Garden this weekend. From the venue to the food everything was excellent. Kathy does an outstanding job keeping things moving and her guidance from planning to the couples departure was spot on. She knows her stuff! I would highly recommend checking them out.
When we decided to get married and toured the venue, it stood out. The garden area is like a secret garden with 2 waterfalls and numerous areas for an outdoor ceremony. The indoor area contrats it with an art deco/Great Gatsby/classic Hollywood Glam vibe that we loved at first site!
My husband and I first went to Carmen's Country Inn and Gardens 2 years ago after getting engaged - it was the first venue we looked at and immediately fell in love. We didn't view any other venues because we knew it would be a waste of time - this place is perfect.
Getting married at Carmen's Country Inn and Gardens
Carmen's Country Inn and Gardens comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
