Hotel Carmichael-the embodiment of elegance

Hotel Carmichael exudes elegance and Mallory Davis, our primary contact, was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better experience for our daughter on her wedding day. From the very first contact, we knew we were in good hands.

The exterior of the hotel and the grounds are beautiful and the decor inside is gorgeous. Very grand with lots of gilded-era detail, dramatic chandeliers and tall windows. It is the perfect backdrop for a timeless, sophisticated wedding. The setting provides ample opportunities for lovely wedding photos.

The hotel staff, from the front desk to the catering team to the bartenders, were professional and provided top notch service to our guests. There are not enough words to describe the role that Mallory played in making the day absolutely perfect. She reassured both mother and the bride that every detail would be handled and that we just needed to show up and enjoy the day. And she delivered. Throughout months of planning, she promptly responded to emails and responded to my (many) questions with detailed information and patience. Mallory provided such amazing support the day of the wedding that it wasn't really necessary to hire a day-of coordinator. She calmly and confidently directed the bridal party and vendors to ensure that everything ran smoothly. On top of her professionalism, she is also a warm and sincere person. It was a pleasure to get to know her over the months of planning.

While the cost initially seemed a bit higher than other venues in the area, when doing a comparison, things like color linens, the cake, cake cutting, quality bar offerings, etc. that other venues charge extra for are included in the package price at Hotel Carmichael. It is more of an "all-in" price than you see at other venues.

If you want a memorable, classy, special, stress-free (or as close as you can get when talking about a wedding) day, don't hesitate to book Hotel Carmichael!

Simply Gorgeous

This venue is gorgeous. We had 120 guests. I was a little worried that it would be too small, but it looked perfect. Our guests were amazed.

The team is very easy to work with. They worked with me on every one of my requests. Amanda is incredibly sweet and was very responsive leading up to our event.

I would rent this venue again and again to re-experience the magic the hotel offers.

Classy and the perfect space

The Hotel Carmichael was a dreamy location! It’s the perfect space for the ceremony, reception and cocktail hour- which having the ballroom transformed beautifully for each part of the wedding and the fun of the balcony space for the cocktail hour and reception. We were able to have a rehearsal the day before despite there being a wedding there and that was well organised as well. We felt the venue couldn’t have been classier, the food couldn’t have been more delicious and we loved the staff there too. Also our vendors had all worked at the Carmichael before and often shared that it was one of their favourite places to work.

Spectacular experience

We had our mehendi, baraat, and sangeet at the Carmichael and also had our wedding guests stay there. Kathy ray and her team made our event extremely special and I would recommend others using this venue. They were flexible, made sure we could have indian food, a sushi bar, polish deserts, and a huge variety of foods to meet our Indian-Polish wedding events. The hotel and grounds are gorgeous and service was superb!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
