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.

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.

We started with an order of the Old Bay Chicken Wings that had the most delicious homemade blu cheese and the Greek platter. Both were outstanding. For my main entree I had the Crispy Chicken Thighs, which were good but way too greasy.

The orange fennel salmon had a perfect sear and was super-tasty on the pea and cremini mushroom risotto with orange-garlic cream sauce. So many great flavors. Also remarkable in the flavor category was the Nordic spiced apple and cranberry cider mulled with cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and orange. The food was special. They should be proud. Plus, they had a dinner band playing oldies and country which added nice atmosphere.

The receptionist let me know the exhibits that were on and what was scheduled to leave at the end of the month. She was so helpful! I took my time taking everything in. I loved that there was a mix of found art, sculpture, collage and film. There was even art on display for sale, which I could definitely see myself taking advantage of. They also have a store with prints, pottery, jewelry, and clothing. Honestly, such a gem of a space. They have a night market coming up in June with vendors and food trucks and they are part of the Art Loop which is every first Friday of the month. Admission is free those days, or if you go during normal hours is $7 for adults. Definitely worth it.

Planned and hosted an anniversary party for our parents at the end of June. Yasmin and the entire event planning team are amazing! They are extremely thorough, helpful in providing recommendations when thinking through particular details (e.g. decor and layouts), and just have the best energy that makes for a positive experience at every step of the event process. And the day-of staff are great also! They were all so professional, showed a bit of personality when interacting with me and other guests and were all very attentive. This time, we had the half ballroom given the number of guests (~50 people RSVP'd), but the full ballroom is available if you have a higher guest count. Everything was so great that many of the guests have been asking about this place for possible parties/milestone events they want to host in the near future If you are looking for a venue that provides you with excellent service and support when planning your special occasion - and is reasonable in pricing when considering private venues - this is the place to check out! I highly recommend it!

I was part of a wedding that took place at Brantwyn. The estate is absolutely beautiful and the…read morecatering was very good, but as someone who used to work weddings at a venue similar to this one, the service was not quite up to par. As a member of the wedding party we arrived at 7am to begin getting ready. Unfortunately our first impression of the venue was a very bad one. A continental breakfast buffet was supposed to be set up in the bridal suite, and when we walked in it was absolutely infested with ants. Ants on the pastries, in the fruit, on the table cloth, and walking in and out of the coffee pots. It made us wonder how long the food had been sitting out prior to our scheduled arrival and how on earth that many bugs were already present. It took a long time to be able to find any worker to deal with the issue, and even longer to rectify it. An employee sprayed Raid all over the tablecloth before taking everything away, so that smell lingered in the air. It was nearly nine by the time we got all the food and drinks set up again. Dinner service was also very slow with long wait times for some tables in between courses. Some tables were finished eating before others began. It took two and half hours to serve salad, entrees, and desserts for roughly 80 guests, which left less than an hour for music and dancing. Despite the snafus, the venue is still gorgeous and makes an wonderful backdrop for photos. The grounds are very well maintained and picturesque and the house is classic and lovely. I especially loved the back patio that overlooks the lawn and faces west so you get a beautiful sunset over the trees. The staff I interacted with were very gracious, and the food was very good.
