About

On WeddingWire since 2014

The Carriage House is a beautiful barn venue that includes an enchanting garden and southern farmhouse porch. The Carriage House is in a prime location for downtown St. Augustine- close enough for after-parties but far enough to have our own convenient parking lot (rarity in St. Augustine).

This 2000 square foot, climate-controlled barn offers a cozy and romantic setting. The large barn opens up to exposed beams, farmhouse tables, stringed market lights, and a carriage-wheel chandelier. We love the barn’s ability to perfectly transform itself for a rustic celebration or an elegant, more formal affair.

We also have a huge wedding suite complete with a make-up station, dress armoire, and plenty of lounge seating.

The venue has gone through extensive renovations and up until 2018, was previously known as “The Pioneer Barn at Fort Menendez.” Our street-front building, "The Gate House", now includes climate controlled bathrooms, a caterers' kitchen, inventory showroom and a "rainy-day" ceremony space.

Nothing less than spectacular!

The Carriage House was more than just a venue that hosted our 96 guest wedding reception. It was a magical place where our family and friends were able to join us in what can only be described as a dream evening! Erin, Amanda and the whole team of people they have are amazing and make the whole process so easy! From the vendor recommendations to reminders of things you just may forget they made the whole night stress free for myself and my new husband. We spent the entire night living our dream and they took care of it all! I would highly recommend The Carriage House for any type of function! Thank you again Erin, Amanda and the whole team! You made our night a dream come true!!!

The Baker Barn Wedding


The Carriage House was our dream venue for our wedding. Since I was a little girl I dreamed of a barn wedding. Erin and her team brought my dream to life. From the tour of the facility and the multiple package options I was able to make the Carriage House venue exactly what I dreamed of for my wedding. The planning process was made so easy not only by the wedding package we chose having many tedious wedding tasks handled for us, but also using the resources Erin and her team already have vetted for us. Any ideas or requests I made of the venue were met with acceptance and eagerness by the venue staff to make it happen and bring us our dream wedding. From the outdoor garden wedding to the spacious barn brought to life with a casual reception vibe. We loved every moment of our wedding at the Carriage House and appreciate how hard the venue team worked to make our dreams come true.

Doubling as the president and event director of House of Assembly Events LLC., I aspire to help every client's unique event vision come to life!

My husband and I married in 2017, with an "enchanted woodlands" wedding theme featuring a barn as the backdrop. Horses are my passion so a barn is one of my favorite places to be! After meeting local vednors for our wedding, my love of wedding planning transformed into wanting to help other couples have a fantastic wedding day as well!

This venue is family owned and operated, making your experience exclusive and personable. I am so excited to see this charming barn help our client's dreams come to life!

Always,
