Carriage House Catering Reviews

Carriage house inn catering was absolutely amazing for our wedding at Bluebird Manor. After securing our venue, they sent over a list of preferred caterers, and we set up a tasting with CH. We met Kristy at our tasting, and she is the sweetest human! Answered all of our questions, gave us advice and let us know that their catering company could do anything we wanted/needed! After we walked out of our tasting raving about the food, we knew we didn’t need to taste anything else. We booked and kept in contact with Kristy over the year asking questions, adding things to our contract and all. She was always quick to respond and made the whole process so seamless. On our wedding day, the entire staff was so professional, fun, and easy to work with! I can not recommend Carriage House Inn enough for your catering needs. The whole team is so attentive and know their stuff. Thank you so much to every team member that made our wedding day perfect, you all are rockstars!

Carriage House Inn provided our catering for our wedding and it was worth every penny. The food was wonderful, the service was awesome, and Jeannie Phelps was a pleasure to work with. We had a plated dinner and everyone got their food in a reasonable amount of time, but we were served first so that we could actually eat our food! The portion sizes are extremely generous for a nice dinner. We were very impressed with the service and interactions with the staff.

Carriage House Inn catered our daughter’s wedding this past April and we couldn’t ask for a better vendor to work with. Our experience began with them working to accommodate scheduling a tasting as we were coming from out of state. Kristy and Chef T were able to figure out a day and time that worked for all of us. Kristy was so helpful throughout the planning process and was very responsive to our questions. Her advice, suggestions and assistance made us very comfortable throughout the planning process. Chef T was great to work with also. It was very obvious that she took pride in the preparation, taste and presentation of her dishes during our tasting and the wedding. Throughout the reception, both Kristy and Chef T checked on us multiple times and ensured that the evening went smoothly. The entire staff, including the servers and bartenders, were accommodating, friendly and a pleasure to work with. Finally, the food was amazing. Many guests commented on the quality and presentation of the meals (prime rib and crab cakes) and several told us it was the best wedding meal they had ever had. I would highly recommend Carriage House Inn to anyone looking for a great caterer to make their special day unforgettable. Thank you Carriage House Inn.

Wedding food can get a bad rep but Carriage house changes that-it was absolutely delicious!! All of our guest have rave compliments. I am vegetarian (and had a few guest that are as well) and they worked with me to make an amazing dish! Cannot recommend them enough! Jeanie was great to work with and super helpful!

Carriage House Catering was the in-house caterer for our wedding at Springfield Manor Winery and we are so happy they were. All of our guests raved about how good the food was. The service was also incredibly professional.

Carriage House Catering and Jeanne provided such amazing service from the initial planning thru the end of our reception. Their staff is a delight to be around. The food was amazing and so beautifully presented. Five stars!

Our wedding was held at Stone Manor Country Club which Carriage House is the sole caterer for and we were not disappointed! We had the tasting before COVID and it was a great experience with lots of food to try (even gave each bride a rose). Even with having to change our wedding date to a whole year later due to COVID, Jeanne remained extremely responsive even with last minute questions I was asking. On the big day, the entire staff was extremely polite and always kept checking on us to make sure we did not need anything. Our main meals included twin crab cake, tortellini ravioli, and chicken florentine while the appetizers were hawaiian meatballs, spanikopita, chicken satay, and coconut shrimp (highly recommend all especially the coconut shrimp and twin crab cakes!) Several guests raved about the delicious food and the quick service during the reception. Thank you Carriage House for helping make our day so special and stress free!

It was a spectacular presentation of food. All of the feedback from our guests included comments such as "everything was tasty", "simply amazing", and "well-seasoned". (For example, we heard the filet melted in your mouth and the mash potatoes were perfectly seasoned. The food was a great compliment to a wonderful wedding experience.) For over a year, we worked with Kristy and Chef T planning what would be the best food experience for our guests. We enjoyed working with them through each phase and the result was a professional, flawless execution. Team JHPforthewin highly recommends them as our wedding was everything we wanted. Many thanks to the Carriage House Inn Catering Team! -Jonathan & Holly Pernell #JHPforthewin

Great tasting food and great to work with! Jeanne was easy to communicate with throughout and setting up all the details for our wedding with her was a breeze. The food was amazing at the tasting and at the wedding. Our guests only have praise to share about their meals! Given the quality of the food, I think everything was very reasonably priced.

Carriage House was our caterer through Stone Manor. They impressed us so much day of the wedding, with the kindest bartenders, bringing out glasses of wine as soon as the ceremony was done, allowing us to bring our own alcohol and making signature drinks with no explanation, and more. The value was great - linen and cake cutting was included. The food was delicious and generous portions. They are accommodating to make our menu what we wanted. Jeanne was so responsive and accommodating.

All of our wedding guests found their meals to be quite satisfactory, which is delightful to hear! Nearly every wedding I've ever been to has included standard complaints of bland wedding food, but not here! Very pleased with a filling dinner for our guests, attentive staff, and organized planning throughout!

Their food was absolutely delicious. I'm still hearing compliments about the dinner on our wedding night. They were always really responsive and helpful, especially during Covid

Our venue (Stone Manor Country Club) had Carriage House Inn as their exclusive caterer, I can understand why! Jeannie, the catering manager, was great to work with from the contract to the tasting to last minute updates we had the week of the wedding. We did our tasting pre-pandemic and it was a large group of couples sampling many different menu items Carriage House had to offer. The tasting was organized and efficient. We got to try most of the items we selected for our menu, we felt we were able to get a sense of how delicious everything was. Our wedding had to be rescheduled due to COVID and Carriage House was flexible and helpful getting us all set with a new date. They helped us update our menu items, table settings, and serving options to make sure we complied with all of the COVID safety precautions. On our wedding day, everything went great from our end. Our guests felt very safe and most importantly they LOVED the food! Carriage House’s signature crab cakes were a big hit. The bartenders provided by Carriage House did an awesome job as well. At the night end of the night Carriage House packaged our extra meals (we had a few people unable to attend last minute) and our extra cake for us to take home! We would highly recommend Carriage House for your wedding caterer!

Jeannine and her staff do an amazing job-- always quick to answer emails and questions. The food is amazing and we got many compliments from our guests about how great everything was. Very easy to work with and they accommodated high chairs, guests with allergies and our table arrangements without issues!

WOW!!! We are so thrilled with how our daughter and son-in-law's reception came out at Springfield Manor in Thurmont, MD on 10/5/19 where Carriage House Catering is the exclusive caterer!! We were hoping for the best given we only had this caterer to work with when we first booked this venue. Happily, Carriage House exceeded our expectations! Starting from the "Pre-Ceremony" beverage set up, to the cocktail hour, the ballroom set up, the dining service, and everything else throughout the entire reception, we were so pleased and happy with the efforts of the entire catering team. The food was absolutely delicious - appetizers, salad, salad dressing, rolls & butter, and entrees!!! Our entrees were Filet Mignon, Chicken Florentine and Vegetarian Lasagna. The chef did an amazing job - it still blows us away how a caterer can create meals for 200 people, serve them hot, fork-tender, and so perfect to everyone! The bartending staff and wait staff worked very hard, were efficient, professional, and continued to smile throughout the entire evening. Great service all around from everyone who worked our event! Jeannie, Catering Manager, was a pleasure to work with throughout the process, and I appreciated all her help and flexibility in creating all aspects of the food and beverage for our reception. Since the food and drink are a HUGE part of making a wedding a success, we are thrilled that Carriage House Catering delivered beyond what we expected. BEST WEDDING EVER!!

I didn’t have a choice for caterer- they were the only option for my venue, but the food was good. Jeanne was great to communicate with. The pricing was very good. Most places I was finding were 2-3x the cost of carriage house. They did have a variety of options for pricing on food too. Easy to work with.

They are the exclusive caterer to our venue, Springfield Manor, and after having the wedding, we know why. They worked with us to create a menu that fit our budget, were very accommodating for all last minute changes and questions, and again, every staff member was so sweet and helpful. We thought the food was even better than at the tasting, which was a little overwhelming to us. That being said, everything was streamlined and the most difficult part was picking the dishes for dinner as it was all very good. The night of went so smoothly, we cannot be happier.

We got married at Springfield Manor on July 13, 2019. Carriage House is Springfield’s exclusive caterer and was great to work with. Jeannie was super responsive and helpful leading up to our wedding. She was also extremely flexible about last minute changes. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! Thank you Carriage House!

The food was amazing we did the pig roast and everything was wonderful the macaroni and cheese was to die for. There food was the best for our wedding thank you so much for doing our wedding anyone would be lucky to have you all to do there wedding the food it great.

We were so delighted when we choose Springfield Manor and their preferred caterer was Carriage House. I grew up eating in the restaurant with my family, and had attended many events where their food was spectacular. Jeanne was WONDERFUL to work with and helped us with all our questions and concerns. The day-off, the food was fantastic. I cannot say enough great things about this team. Thank you, Carriage House from the bottom of our grateful hearts! ~Ashley and Jason

We highly recommend Carriage House Catering! They were attentive, easy to work with, and personalized the menu to fit our dietary needs! We had a few chefs at our wedding that said it was the best wedding food they have ever eaten! (don't worry...our friends don't do weddings lol) They were flexible with our guest changes and special requests for a non-traditional seating arrangement! We made our own centerpieces so they let us set up early so we could get ready in time for the wedding.
They were even nice enough to help us clean up the centerpieces at the end of the night! Thank you for EVERYTHING and patience with our wedding vision!! We appreciate it!! :D P.S. We had a fair amount of friends/family drop out right before the wedding so they boxed up our leftovers for us to take... We enjoyed experiencing the food with the following day. Plus, the leftovers were just as good as our wedding day and made a great shepherds pie a day later lol Thanks again!!! :D

Carriage House was our caterer. We did not have any other options at our venue but that was okay with us.

The service and food was even better on our wedding day than at the tasting which I was super thankful for. The tasting event is for a very large group of people so the food had been out for a little and definitely was not as fresh and tasty compared to the actual wedding day.

Jeannie is wonderful to work with. She is very kind and responds quickly! She was such a sweetheart throughout the whole process. She was by far the easiest person to communicate with at Springfield Manor. We decided to go with the buffet option and are so glad we did. The food was hot and fresh unlike some of the weddings we attended this past year. Everything came out tasting great!

Sherry the coordinator of the day was also wonderful to work with! Her team did a great job taking care of us and made sure everything ran according to schedule.

Highly recommend!

Carriage House did a great job at our wedding! We had our ceremony and reception at Springfield Manor, and they did a fantastic job setting up. Everything was perfectly done, and multiple people commented on how much they enjoyed the food. Their team was efficient, and most importantly, we enjoyed our dinners! We can't recommend them enough!

The catering from Carriage House was simply the best! The presentation was magnificent, the food and appetizers were delicious, the service was friendly, the attention to detail was spectacular!! From the moment we experienced the "tasting event" as we moved closer to the wedding up until and through the wedding day Carriage House displayed complete professionalism delivered with a sincere smile. Jeannie, the catering manager, clearly communicates and promptly answers all questions. The entire evening was flawless! We received so many compliments about the food and appetizers. Carriage House catering at Springfield Manor Winery and Distillery helped make our wedding celebration complete with outstanding food and attention. I highly highly recommend Carriage House catering for your any celebration!!!

We had to use Carriage House as it was the exclusive caterer for our venue. However, we were so pleased with their work and the quality of their food! Everyone loved the food - including my very picky family members - and so that's when I knew that it was well worth it. They have a good variety of food with different price points, so you can really be thoughtful about what you are choosing. As a bride, I would have liked the heads up that they automatically charge 20% gratuity and charge for separate services like fee per bartender as well as fee per bartender set up, plus fee for set up any earlier than 2 hours. BUT I do think their work definitely deserved the 20% tip!! Just a warning that it is included as I know many do not include it. Jeannie the catering manager was so easy to work with and very quick to respond to emails. The catering staff that was there on the day of were all so attentive and friendly. They made sure that my groom and I as well as our wedding party got refreshments and apps right after the ceremony. Very happy we got "stuck" with Carriage House!
