Perfect Venue!!

The Carriage House at Rockwood Park was the perfect venue for our special day!! Brandywine Prime catered, they're partners so it was all inclusive. They took care of EVERYTHING. Everyone was pleasant to work with, and very professional. I would highly recommend anyone looking for convenience to book this beautiful venue. You shouldn't have to lift a finger on your special day, Katie & Michael made sure our experience was top notch. We can't thank them enough!!

Beautiful Location

We hosted our wedding recently at the Rockwood Carriage house and it was a wonderful experience. The ceremony location is absolutely beautiful. They have a beautiful Garden outdoors that is perfect for taking pictures as well as other nice picture worthy locations.

A Dream Come True

Where to start!?! Our wedding day was a dream come true! Our vision came to life all because of those at the Carriage House! As soon as we walked through the Carriage House we instantly fell in love. The rustic charm was exactly what we invisioned. The Christmas decor was breathtaking. All the lights in the trees outside made it feel like a true winter wedding!

Michelle was amazing to work with! She made everything so easy. She kept the night running smoothly and we cannot thank her enough. Everyone that met her couldn't stop saying how amazing she was and how great the night was all because of her! Michelle checked on us constantly, making sure everything was perfect!

Patti made the entire process easy. Our wedding was postponed and Patti helped to make that time less stressful! Thank you for that! All our guests raved about the food and the atmosphere; saying it was one of the best weddings they have been too!

We are forever grateful to all those at the Carriage House!

The best day ever!

Our experience with The Carriage House was amazing! We were originally scheduled for 8/8/2020, but postponed due to Covid-19; the staff was incredibly flexible and helpful in the process of brainstorming safe ceremony/reception ideas for 2020 and ultimately postponing to 8/7/2021. Michelle and her team were absolute rockstars the day of our wedding and made everything come together beautifully without any stress on our end! Highly recommend this venue!

Flawless, absolutely perfect

We planned our wedding and expected things to go wrong, but that really didn’t happen and it’s because of the staff at The Greenery Caterers. Our day-of coordinator Michelle was an absolute delight and we knew when we met her that she would not let anything go wrong. She was like the Olivia Pope (“Scandal”) of weddings; she handled everything and it was perfect. We had nothing to worry about. The food was amazing too! We are so happy with our choice and we highly recommend The Carriage House, Greenery Caterers and Michelle Quirk. We had the best day of our lives.

The Perfect place!

We absolutely loved the carriage house! Everything from the rustic decor, the beautiful garden and greenery, the personal yet roomy bridal suite, down to the small details of the cocktail hour food - everything was perfect. We had a perfect day. Michelle & Patti were also our go to gals. They were BEYOND helpful and responsive! 10/10 place to have your wedding!

Great day!

Nothing has been easy wedding planning in 2020 but Craig, Patti, and Michele made it less stressful and they were so flexible and accommodating. While we decided not to have our big celebration, we did have a mini wedding with 20 people and Greenery made it such a special day. Michele was there the day of to keep things on schedule and take care of all of the little details, Patti was great to work with ahead of time, and the food from Craig and his team was delicious. We can’t thank Greenery enough and can’t wait for the full reception in 2021!

Great experience

I cannot say enough how wonderfully my wedding at Rockwood Carriage House turned out. I had been to Rockwood before for various events and already knew how beautiful the venue was. I approached them requesting a fully vegan wedding, a first for them, and they were completely willing to work with me, with fantastic results. (I had guests who didn't even realize that the reception was entirely vegan, because they were so impressed with the food.) Greenery was also willing to work with our band, even though they traditionally have DJs. On the day of Michelle did an absolutely wonderful job and I didn't have to worry about anything, I could just enjoy a wonderful reception. After all the craziness and logistics of planning a wedding, I cannot tell you how grateful I am to Greenery Caterers for making the day seamless and fun.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
