The most amazing wedding venue

We so loved having our wedding at the Carter Center. Not only were Lisa and Molly absolute joys to work with, but all our guests commented on how unique it was to attend a wedding at this venue. All the spaces are lovely and were beautifully decorated by the Carter Center and Proof of the Pudding. Gorgeous and Perfect!
