The hours seem limited despite their posted hours, making it unnecessarily difficult to get in touch or schedule anything if you have a normal job.

There are plenty of venues out there that actually value their clients.

I want to start by acknowledging that this venue is spectacular. The Carriage House and garden…read moreareas are beautiful in every way. We chose a buffet with chicken piccata, beef tenderloin, mashed potato bar, salad, and bread. Everyone complemented how wonderful the food was all evening. The food was wonderful. When we booked the venue approximately a year ago, our contact person was amazing. She left shortly after for another job. We had a second person after her who also left after a couple of months. In our last few months, Kaleb was the one who worked with me to plan the details of my daughter's wedding. He was amazing. He made sure that we got everything ordered and on our contract that we wanted. He always replied when I reached out and he was so helpful all along the way. He was truly a gem in every way leading up to the wedding. The reason for a lower rating is the stress, confusion, and lack of work that happened on our rehearsal day and the day of the wedding. The venue does state that you are not guaranteed to practice in the exact location of your event. However, we were told the last couple of months and up until the day before our rehearsal that we would indeed be able to use the garden area for our practice. We had also been told about two weeks out that there was nothing else scheduled at this venue on our rehearsal day and that it would be opened just for us. Upon arriving the afternoon of the rehearsal, there were many cars there other than ours. I went into the building to find a large group preparing for an event that we did not know about. They were confused at why I was there, and I was confused as to why they were there. I talked with the woman who was planning the other event (this was not a worker for Park Crest). I let her know that our practice had been planned for a long time and did not realize they would be there. She also was not told that we would be there. It was at this time I reached out to the venue and stated that we needed to be able to practice. All of our people were there, out of their cars standing around (including elderly grandparents) and ready to practice. I reached out to the venue and was told that we may have to just all get in our cars and move to another building to practice. I understand that this was in the contract, but we had been told up until a few hours before that we would indeed be able to practice at our location. You should never wait until the moment of an event to ask someone to relocate to another location. This was very unprofessional. The other group having the venue was a group who had strict religious dress practices and it was disrespectful for us to have even entered the building. This should have also been disclosed as well. However, the lady with the other group was very nice to me and she and I worked a compromise together for us to have a very rushed practice in the garden area. Again, she did not work for Park Crest, so she and I worked this out together on our own. During all of this confusion, all of our family and friends who were waiting to practice, had to stand around not knowing what to do. After our practice concluded, I reached out to the venue again to ensure that our reception area and the garden area would be set up first thing in the morning for my arrival at 9:00 to begin setting up for our mid afternoon wedding. I was reassured that the "crew" would be there at 7:00 am and all tables and chairs would be in place and ready upon my arrival. Upon my arrival at 8:45 am, there was not a "crew" anywhere in the building working. I entered our reception area first to start my decorating. The tables and chairs had not been set up according to the schematic that I had submitted two weeks prior. We did not have time to wait around for workers to show up as we were on a strict timeline. I had three friends with me, and we frantically began moving tables and chairs to where they should be placed. I reached out to the venue to ask why my set up was not complete. I was told that he was there and would come help. So not a crew, but one man shows up in the room. I had to ask him to bring two additional tables and several table cloths that also were not in place. He basically became my gofer because we had already put everything in place. He just had to bring me missing items such as another table and table cloths. It took us an additional 40 minutes of our personal time to prepare the tables and chairs before we could even begin to decorate. Next, we moved to the garden area to begin decorating as this is where the ceremony was to be held. The chairs in the garden area were still in the configuration from the last event that was there. Our gift table and sign in book table had not been set up. We had to frantically set up the chairs on our own. We found two tables for the entrance and had to drag them ourselves to set them up. It took approximately 40 minutes to set up the chairs and tables in the garden area to match the set up t

This place is an ideal spot for medium to large'ish gatherings (50-150 peeps?) and a perfect setting for any special occasion. Whether it's an art installation, photo gallery, wedding reception, or just a big ol party, there are two floors of quality spaces to work with. There is no elevator unfortunately, but the bathrooms are handicap friendly and there is a separate back entrance for vendors. Parking is a bit limited to alleyways and street parking, but as the area finishes their renovations, I wouldn't be surprised if a parking garage would eventually make its way here. The fun in a raw space is seeing how much it changes for whatever the theme merits. There is a dedicated team here that works to make that vision come true and they're a professional and friendly bunch. I think their operation is stellar from top to bottom that perspective folks should really consider this gem of a venue.

There are two floors, and our event was on the upstairs. I'm not sure how old the building is, but it has an exposed brick wall painted white, beautiful hardwood (oak looking) floors, with gorgeous strands of light setting the perfect evening event. Not sure if the lights are part of their everyday decor or if they were for Christmas, but it's absolutely stunning! I could see this being a great venue for a rehearsal dinner, work/birthday party, or a small wedding/prom venue (My graduating class of 7 would have had enough room!) My only question is how do I get invited back to this place?! I don't plan events, but this is a place I definitely want to come back to! Just a head's up I only saw street/metered parking, but that's pretty much expected in downtown Birmingham.

Really Nice Venue!!!…read more We came here for a wedding over the weekend and were really impressed! They have a beautiful sitting area that overlooks a small lake/pond. Large tree near the bank sets up for a perfect place for the bride and groom to say their I do's. Once the ceremony is over they have a large covered space that is perfect for a large group to eat and mingle. Good sound system piped in music while everyone just enjoyed the evening. They offer full service and a large variety of people that you can lean on for photography, videography, music (DJ), catering, etc. Really nice how professional they are and how easy they make it on the bride/groom and their families ...... No clean up when the event is over, they take care of it all. If you're looking for a space to host an event, this may be a good spot to check out.

The table arrangements of tables, booth seating, and cocktail tables were great so you could have a cocktail hour, as well as a seated dinner. The food was from the Gianmarco's menu and it was absolutely delicious. We had three appetizers in the cocktail hour. One was a mushroom bruschetta, one was a fried oyster bruschetta, and a small Caprese appetizer. The fried oyster and Caprese appetizer were the only two I tried and they were so fresh and delicious. I really liked that the fried oyster crostini and the mushroom bruschetta were served on small slate square plates. It was a really unique way to serve the hors d'oeuvres and the presentation was beautiful. Everybody's main meals looked so delicious and I was very pleased with my lamb. It was cooked absolutely perfectly and so flavorful and tender. I will say that the chicken Parmesan looked phenomenal and we had one friend order the veal Parmesan and it was an insane amount of food. He had never tried veal before and he really enjoyed it! The servers and team there were so hospitable and friendly. I would definitely keep this place in mind in the future for private events.
