The best choice for our wedding day

The 173 Carlyle House was the absolute perfect venue for our special day. We had our rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception there with almost 200 guests, and their venue space and staff accommodated for us exceptionally well! My favorite thing about the Carlyle House is its flexibility and the ability to personalize decor and details for your event, as well as it's reasonable and extremely affordable pricing.

Throughout the entire planning process (only 4 months), Gerise was helpful, responsive, and offered her expertise and support whenever needed. I had multiple meetings, calls, and walkthroughs to plan and finalize everything, and she was more than accommodating each time I reached out.

The house itself is classy, elegant, and charming, which is exactly what I was envisioning for our wedding. The staff and catering were wonderful and we received many compliments from our guests on their service. I hope we have another reason to use them again in the future!

We highly recommend the 173 Carlyle House for any special event!

We had my mother-in-laws memorial celebration of her life at 173 Carlyle House. The facility, food and staff were outstanding. Working with Gerise Janousek and the staff was a great experience. They made everything easy and perfect.

Finding our wedding venue was definitely the most stressful vendor search for our wedding. There are so many gorgeous locations in Atlanta I quickly became overwhelmed by the options. Visiting the Carlyle House was like a breath of fresh air from the corporate, cookie cutter venues we had visited previously. We love the location, the bar and menu flexibility, the size of the space, and the openness and straightforwardness Gerise told us about their operation. They actually try to work with you on options that you'll feel most comfortable with from a budget stand point and from a creative stand point. Gerise is amazing at responding back to any questions we have right away and is so easy and uncomplicated to work with. We can't wait to get married here!

Beautiful venue, wonderful food and a delightful staff. Gerise was a pleasure to work with when planning the event. And the staff took care of everything during the dinner (and after) so we could relax and enjoy our celebration. All of our guests were very complimentary! Thanks!

The Carlyle House

Highly recommend the Carlyle House for any Atlanta-based couple! Gerise was great to work with, the venue was beautiful, and everything was reasonably priced (price spent includes food, venue, coordinator, tablecloths, and tip. Price varies based of the menu chosen. We brought in our own dessert). Our guests had a great time too!

Jon and Sarah's Wedding 10/26/18

The 173 Carlyle is the very first venue that I found online. While they have many pictures you can’t appreciate how big and lovely this venue is.
We knew as soon as we walked into the Carlyle House and met Gerise that we found our place. The facility is Gorgeous and there are many rooms for guests to sit and relax and have drinks and food during the bridal photos. I loved the Bridal suite that allows the Bride and Brides Maids to have a quiet place to freshen up before the Ceremony. The Bride and Groom return to that suite for a few minutes to themselves after the Ceremony. The outdoor terrace provides a wonderful back drop for the ceremony. It rained on our date so we opted to move into the ballroom less than an hour before the wedding. This staff transformed the ballroom into a chapel in 15 minutes. The rain stopped later and we moved outside to the beautiful lit terrace for more photos. Gerise assured me all along the way that everything would be perfect and she was absolutely correct. It’s clear they are experts at this. Chef Janousek and his staff provided an amazing assortment of dishes. The food was awesome! The Bride and Groom and our guests were delighted. I am so happy we chose the Carlyle House. Gerise and her staff are true professionals who operate with excellence and the pricing was surprisingly affordable. I would highly recommend The 173 Carlyle House. Thank you so much!!

I can't say enough good things about the Carlyle House. We just had our third major family event at their location and it never disappoints. We strongly recommend any type of event at the Carlyle House. Gerise is awesome and willing to work with you in any way. The food is delicious and the house is quaint, classy and warm. All my guests couldn't say enough nice things about the evening. Thank you once again for a job well done.

Extraordinary service in an exquisite venue! The event planner was so knowledgeable and personable! Made us feel like we were special. The layout, the brightness of the rooms, the gorgeous chandeliers, the wrap-around porch, the food...everything was so beyond our wildest dreams! We knew it would be perfect, but it was even more perfect than we anticipated. Fabulous place for any event!

We decided on Carlyle House after our original venue abruptly shut down and stole our money (in addition to about 10 other couples money also). We decided on Carylye House because the venue was beautiful, it would accommodate our wedding and reception and Gerise's Professionalism. We told her what happened with our original venue and she went above and beyond to ensure a positive, memorable experience at Carlyle House. For instance, she told the bride and groom at the wedding that took place the day before ours, what happened to us with the old venue. The bride and groom donated their centerpieces! Gerise made sure our wedding day was perfect and it was. The food was delicious. Our wedding guests are still raving about the mash potato bar. Gerise made sure our wedding day was a dream, we are so appreciative of everything she did for us. Even though we decided on Carylye House under stressful circumstances, we are glad that we had our wedding and reception there.

I have absolutely no regrets. The venue was beautiful, and I did not have to worry about a thing. My evening (at least once we arrived at The Carlyle House) was perfect.

They provided the catering (we had chicken marsala and petite filet as a dual entree), the cake, the booze, and everything else we needed. The food was great, and the cake was beautiful (the florist decorated it with our flowers).

I would also recommend going with their suggested vendors. They have a great rapport, and they did not steer me wrong. We used a DJ, florist, and limo service off their list, and they were all exceptional.

No complaints! It was the perfect venue.

Our youngest daughter was married at this location, and it was the most fantastic place to have her wedding! Gerise, our wedding planner who works at the location, was so accommodating, professional, and adaptive to all of our needs for the wedding day. Honestly, there is not one single thing we would've changed with that wedding day, other than the rather cool temperatures, which of course no one could control! I highly recommend this charming, historic, beautiful facility for any event you are interested in hosting.

The Carlyle House was the PERFECT choice for a wedding reception for our special occasion! From the early planning stages right through to the last minute details, Gerise provided exceptional service. Not only from her extensive knowledge and experience in how the event would flow, but also (and perhaps most importantly) in her desire to make sure we were overwhelmingly pleased with the outcome. We dodged a substantial downpour before the event started and Gerise was as concerned as we were by taking charge to ensure the outside tables were dry and ready for the reception guests. By the time the reception started, the rain had stopped and it was an absolutely beautiful cool gorgeous night! Our food choices of New York Strip, Salmon Wellington and Shrimp & Grits were excellently prepared by Chef Janousek - not only did they taste delectable, but were prepared in sufficient quantity to serve our 200 guests as much as they wanted to eat and then some! Chef Janousek also made the most delicious wedding cake and grooms cake! The entire Janousek family participated to make this a very special occasion, including hosting the drink table and serving the champagne toast, as well as packing up the leftovers and even carrying them out to the car at the end of a long night! Gerise graciously came through to save the day at the last minute when we realized the florist/event planner failed to bring the sparklers as planned, With nothing for the get-away, she offered some extra bubbles she had on hand, Cara and Clay had a beautiful send off despite no sparklers. Gerise was so professional in everything she did, yet so personal she cared about not only the details, but cared about us. By far it is this level of customer service, care and concern that exceeded our expectations and for which we are grateful. Thank you Gerise and Chef Janousek and the entire staff at the Carlyle House!!!

Afternoon Gerise,

Now that we are settling into our home and looking back at videos from the wedding, we can't help but try to rewind the time to our wedding! That day went by super fast, I honestly thought people were joking when they told us the day would go quick. Gerise, we had an AMAZING time and you made our day even more beautiful. Our family and friends have said our wedding and reception was one they've NEVER seen and people will have a hard time trying to top it! Thanks so much for your advice and patience while working closely with us. We appreciate you greatly and would recommend you to anyone wanting an outstanding party that will leave your guests and you overjoyed.
We got our cake topper and other items from the reception. I can't say it enough, you out did yourselves and made our day the best!. From the food, service, preparation and set up; to the beautiful environment for photos. Even our second line entrance was a hit, it's now on youtube! I will always remember this day and cherish it for the rest of my life! Thank you so much for all you've done, we pray you have many more blessed events that bring joy and love that will last a lifetime.

Many thanks,

William and Tara Johnson

The Carlye House is the best! I had my wedding here (ceremony + reception) and I am incredibly happy with the services and food. Gerise is the best, she really accommodates to your needs and knows how to work with your budget. I loved the fact that there's no hidden fees, everything is discussed upfront and honest. No surprises and they deliver with high quality customer service. I highly recommend visiting this venue in person to realize the charm of Historic Norcross.

The Carlyle House staff was friendly, flexible and supportive. The food was excellent!
The microphone quality should to be checked before the event. Our quality was not the best, but managable.

The venue is very organized and helpful. As a person who had no clue what I was doing. They did there best to explain options. And answer any question we had. Even though I've never dreamed I would ever have a wedding. They help create a really special day. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was wonderful.
