What a neat little gem in the outskirts of Wilmington. Cozy, lodge-y feeling historic space…read morecomplete with wall-to-wall wood planks and a fireplace feels more like a church basement than a concert venue--in a cute way. A small selection of local beers and basic wines were available at the folding table in the back for $2-$4 each, (hooray for tax-free Delaware!), as were free handfuls of chips, nuts and crackers, served up by friendly gild members. The seating/dancefloor layout struck me as odd, with 6-10 rows of folding chairs starting halfway back from the elevated stage. This did provide a generously sized standing/dancing area in front of the stage, however, with everyone seated during the more subdued opener, there was quite an awkward distance between performer and audience. This took away from the potential intimacy of the venue, and the performers commented on it. "Hello, everyone... out there. You're so far away." On to sound. The mix for the opening band was spot-on, vocals and acoustics were full and clear, with great balance between drums, keyboard, and acoustic guitar/vox. The headlining band seemed to pose more of a challenge for the sound guy. Vocals were barely audible over the drums, bass, synths, guitars and sampling. When vocals were bumped up, the mics squealed. This well-versed and well-traveled Brooklyn band usually flaunts lush, layered vocal arrangements, so the imbalance between lost vocals vs. harsh feedback was particularly frustrating. Later in the set sound improved some, but still lacked complete clarity and eq balance. Sound can be affected by a multitude of factors, of course. Faulty equipment, borrowed equipment, the space, house limitations, sound guy limitations. I can't say whether the problem was internal or external, especially after the opener's pristine sound, so I'm only deducting one star. Perhaps the effects-laden, shoegazey headliners were just too heavy for the venue. Still, I will be back when another great show skips Philly and lands in Arden. In the interest of improving atmosphere, I will avoid taking a seat.

Mike, the owner, was outstanding in accommodating our group of 180 people and went beyond the call of duty at the end of the evening when we were locked out of the truck we were planning to store the wedding gear in.

We would highly recommend the Carriage House as a wedding venue set in the grounds of Rockwood Park, the aesthetics match the service.

The inside of the venue is gorgeous and updated. You would expect the scenery in or outdoors when you pull up. Our wedding was held on June 3rd, 2021 and from the moment of planning till June the service received was impeccable. The amount of food included is beyond enough and the best part is the food tastes and quality were superb. There were very few items that were dislike, which very minor due to the large variety of food provided and included in the price. Our wedding guest continue to rave about the cocktail hour food, thinking that was dinner however were shocked when dinner was served. The dessert stations was an absolute hit at the wedding and pairs well with the open pair. To top it off chicken sandwiches were provided to everyone as they left, which also pairs well with open bar. The service from Ashley Stegall from the very first day to the wedding day was outstanding! She was very patient with answering this brides multiple questions, and giving her honest opinion on ideas, she also helped with coordinating the actual wedding day. Anna was also very helpful the day of the wedding and ensuring the bridal party and especially the bride and groom didn't go without or needed for anything. The service was unexpected but greatly appreciated. Our guest was in awed of the service, venue, food and overall experience at the Waterfall! They didn't disappoint!

They gave us cold appetizers probably from the wedding before. There waterfalls were dirty and not running. The coordinator was dressed rather inappropriately and didn't even tell wedding party where to go or have the bride and groom face everyone for the rose ceremony.. pasta was gross. They were forgetting to bring people food.. they kept cutting off the deejay when people were getting into dancing.. the steak was so gross whatever sauce was on it .. it was nasty..couldn't even eat it.. the cake wasn't even served it was sent home with people. If you can't handle two weddings at the same time just stick to one. Not to mention not in the best area... Also they had people waiting where you could see the bride taking pictures!!!!!! sad bc it used to be good now the only difference from them and other people is they have the most food for cocktail hour but I rather have better outcome than more food. Also they kept coming into the bridal suite and one point were surprised to see us in there and when I came back in I couldn't find my earrings and was going to change into them and they were there before pictures... and who knows what else...be where don't leave stuff in there...Won't be recommending here like I used to

This is a review for Angelo's Pizza. Personally I preferred Pizzeria Bardea. I'm honestly not sure…read morewhat was going on at Angelo's. From the start, things were weird. The person taking my order didn't seem familiar with the menu, which was surprising for a place focused on something as straightforward as pizza. It took quite a while for the pizza to be assembled before making it to the oven. After ordering, I waited nearly 40 minutes, which I had buyer's remorse, considering I could have just ordered two pre-made slices and heated them up. Bardea was able to get an order in and out in like 10 minutes. Even weirder, comes the confusing part after Angelo's takes the pizza out of the oven. Twice, the pizza made it to a box, where employees stood over it, seemingly unsure of what to do. They appeared to be discussing it and even taking photos while the pizza just sat there getting cold, for several minutes. Is this an Instagram moment? I genuinely had no clue what was happening. By the time I finally received my order, the pizza was luke warm and the whole experience was frustrating. I have no interest dealing with whatever was happening here. I hope they work out the kinks of whatever the heck was going on at this place.

DE.CO is one of the cutest food spots in downtown Wilmington. There is something for everyone, from…read moresushi, tacos, and pizza to coffee and drinks. I haven't tried all the food stalls yet, but they're on my list. The layout has lots of seating in the center, with food on the side walls. It's like a more upscale food court. The vibe is chill, with simple modern yet cozy tables and benches amid lots of slightly industrial design touches. It's a good spot for lunch with colleagues or sitting alone with a book, especially on off hours. If you're looking for something a bit elevated but not super fancy, DE.CO is a great spot.
