The perfect wedding venue
What made Carmens's stand out compared to other venues? The beautiful gardens - the groundskeeper does such a fantastic job. The flowers and plants were so beautiful - everything I dreamed of for a wedding location!
What was our biggest worry about the wedding day that Carmen's helped alleviate? Just making sure everything went well. Cathy ensured that our day was fantastic and alleviated the stress of watching the time and having to coordinate everything. I didn't look at a clock even once during the day and everything ran so smoothly.
A moment that we especially enjoyed while working with Carmen's: the entire was day was so perfect that I can't pull one specific moment that stood out more, so I'm going to bring it back to when we went to Carmen's bakery/deli to taste test food and pick our menu. This was such an emotional moment to try everything and finalize choices, and Cathy was there to walk us through everything and help us pick and personalize the menu. And the food was incredible. It was so hard to narrow everything down!
With this venue they offer so many services in one package - all we needed was to hire a DJ and a photographer. They cater their own food (they own a lovely deli/bakery in hazleton), made our wedding cake (which was absolutely amazing), and offered bar service. Everything is already so beautiful that we really only needed to have centerpieces and table numbers, no other decor needed.
Cathy was INCREDIBLE. I cannot say enough fantastic things about her. She is so kind, detail oriented, organized, flexible, and she clearly takes a lot of pride in her job. She was in constant communication with me during the planning process and answered all my questions thoroughly and promptly. During the rehearsal she took care to ensure we were all prepared and ready for the ceremony. When I made a mistake and had mixed up seating arrangements she was so kind and just immediately went into "no problem at all - let's fix it!" mode. During the day of the wedding she took time to fix the little details that we had missed (like find and set up our champagne glasses and turn on the lanterns for our center pieces).
The staff, the bartender, and the servers at the venue were so kind and attentive to us and all of our guests as well!
I can honestly say that our wedding day was absolutely perfect and I am so grateful to Cathy and all her staff for making it so.
The wedding venue was absolutely beautiful, lush gardens. Waterfalls and features , beautiful spots to hold outdoor weddings as well as indoor events
