Amy M. Sent on 11/18/2020Charming venue with outstanding service!
I hosted my second event at The Carrington and once again was blown away by the outstanding experience I had working with Cari Wible. What a charming little venue this is! We used the Courtyard with the dreamy festoon lighting for a COVID safe outdoor dinner for a 50th birthday party. Pedro, the on site venue contact is so helpful and the venue itself is so versatile and lovely. Book them today! You will not regret it and I promise that you will be in caring and capable hands!

Such a beautiful venue!
The Carrington, in conjunction with Pink Parasol Designs, exceeded our wildest expectations. The venue is so beautiful, and so incredibly unique. I was looking for something that felt very Texas, while still feeling as timeless and historical as the venues I was familiar with back home in Philadelphia, and the Carrington delivered. They also had both the gorgeous outdoor space we wanted for our cocktail hour, as well as the unique indoor space where we did dinner and dancing. They were also so flexible with our ever-changing plans. They ended up planning me three weddings--the original 125 person dream, the 2-person live streamed ceremony we planned in a few weeks, and the rescheduled intimate 44 person reception. It was the perfect venue for each iteration of our ever-changing wedding, and I'm so grateful to Cari and Franci!! -

A quaint Americana style venue in Hill Country
Loved the venue!, an early 20th century drug store with a second floor apartment which is the perfect place to get ready before the big ceremony, or to go and have a break from all the emotion and commotion that a wedding event entails. We had a small wedding of 50 guests and had more than enough room to have tables, a dancefloor, food and drink stations and a couple of living room style setup with room to spare. There are two well defined outdoor spaces, a beautiful side garden where the ceremony took place and a backyard where some tables and kid play areas where setup for those with little ones. Downtown Buda is a perfect setup to embrace the old American style of a small town. Every corner of the property is usable and conserves the character of the building it used to be. Beautiful real hardwood floors, original ceiling tiles and aged walls reflecting the over 100 years of many stories that have happened there and the many stories of very happy couples which will start their own story there. -

Being from the Austin area my now husband and I had a few options in mind, until one day we were driving in downtown Buda and saw a wedding taking place here and were hooked. The Carrington is such a unique space, it has a side garden with a greenery wall, a back fenced area, and the indoor up and downstairs areas. Because we initially were looking at 150 people it was perfect. Cari was really responsive and great, she set clear guidelines for what we could and could not do which was perfect. After COVID hit she gave us clear guidelines and requirements. We were able to space tables apart and cut our guest list down to 35 people. We ended up booking the cottage on the property and it was so worth it for the convenience of being right there if we needed anything. Cari was so flexible with allowing us to add booking the back garden for our rehearsal dinner because of the unease with restaurants right now. She really has thought of everything! Being there to help direct the chaos the day of was so helpful, and I cannot recommend it enough. The venue is so gorgeous, and Cari is so kind, and thoughtful, I would love an excuse to book there again!The Carrington's reply:
Thank you so much Tucker. Your day was stunning and we can't wait to see all the pictures and you find that excuse for another event!!!! -

I don’t even know where to start with how incredibly freaking amazing our experience with the Carrington was. We booked in late February for 10/10/2020, and Cari helped us quickly secure vendors with our shorter timeline...and and then the world fell apart. Coming from the wedding industry myself, I understand firsthand that NO ONE has training for how to navigate events during a pandemic, but I’m fully convinced that Cari should also be a therapist because there was not one single time during the planning process that she didn’t (virtually) stand right by my side, hold my hand, listen to mine and my parents fears, and make me feel 400x better about everything. Even if it wasn’t pandemic related, she was there for us without question. 90% of our guests came in from out of town, and she guided us with grace on how to keep everything safe, what guidelines and precautions we needed to take, and was indescribably patient and kind with every conversation. As our day-of coordinator, she checked on me and the bridal party throughout the day, brought us refreshments, provided us with fantastic amenities (hellooooo pedialyte pops), and used her creativity to make our setup look flawless — my literal dream come true. If you’re looking for an honest, knowledgeable, kind, patient, and hilarious coordinator and venue experience, look no further than the Carrington and Cari. I can honestly say that without her, this day would not have happened, and I am so many words beyond grateful for her expertise, and now friendship. BOOK THIS VENUE, y’all!!! -

Absolutely amazing, would give 10 stars if I could!
I stepped foot in The Carrington for part of my job in 2017 and immediately knew I was going to get married there. Our initial wedding date was March 2020, but unfortunately due to COVID, we had to reschedule to September. Planning for a wedding is stressful, having to reschedule your wedding two weeks out due to a pandemic is beyond stressful. With everything going on, it could have been a train wreck, but the ladies at The Carrington were so easy to work with, super flexible, extremely knowledgeable and creative and helped us come up with ideas to make our day the absolute best.
The facility itself is beautiful, it is the perfect background for some amazing and timeless pictures. I can’t say enough good things about this place. I have been recommending them to every single friend or family member I run into who is planning their own event. Amazing, beautiful, all the good words!The Carrington's reply:
We are so thankful for amazing couples like you and Stephen. The heart of why we love what we do and we could not be more thankful for you. -

The Carrington is simply everything you could ever ask for when choosing a wedding/event location. Cari Wible overlooks The Carrington, and she is one of the hardest working people I've ever met. This building sits in the historic downtown Buda, Texas. The town itself has such a rich history, and The Carrington is definitely a big part of it. This vendor went over the top and gave us more than what we asked for. Me and my partner were in tears during and the days after our ceremony. I have heard that weddings are one of the most stressful events you could ever plan... but this vendor handled 100% of it- Leaving us with a lifetime experience. -

The Carrington is absolutely adorable...
I had the pleasure of planning a garden wedding inspiration photo shoot at The Carrington, and instantly fell in love with it. The venue is nestled right in the middle of downtown Buda and has such a warm vintage feel. I absolutely love this place. Perfect for a wedding or any event. -

Oh my where do I start?! Cari and Franci are basically my favorite people in the wedding world and their venue is AHHH-MAZING (as stated in the title)! It is so perfect. If you're looking for a dreamy vintage venue, a unique small town feel super close to Austin, with amazing owners on top of it all, you've found it! I had such a struggle finding a venue that fit the feel of who my husband and I are as a couple and what we wanted in a wedding that we almost gave up and just eloped. But seriously so glad we didnt! I am so thankful I found The Carrington! All of our guests raved about the venue and how it was the perfect size for our guest count! I also loved how flexible the space was. With three very different, distinct spaces- side yard, back yard and inside, Cari and Franci worked with me to figure out the best configuration for my vision and kept me laughing along the way. Couldn't have asked for a better place to have my dream wedding! -

The second I said yes to my now husband we knew exactly where we wanted to become husband and wife. The Carrington has a beautiful aesthetic about it. Great for so many pictures. The owners are amazing, they really work with you and are quick to respond. The week leading up to our big day was calling for rain and our ceremony was outside Cari (one of the owners) didn’t just give us one option but four. Thankfully no rain but it really helped to put my mind at ease. The ceremony isle was recently repaved and extended which was perfect for heels and also for those guests requiring walkers or wheelchairs. The whole upstairs area we had used as our bridal suite and was an amazing spot to get ready with my wedding party and family. It’s also a great spot for more amazing pictures! I would recommend to anyone! One of the best days of my life! -

The Carrington
OMG I can't say enough about The Carrington. The venue is historic, rich with character, intimate, absolutely gorgeous and perfect for an inside/ outside wedding. Our guests were blown away by all of the sweet touches and how insanely romantic it was. I'll never get over it. We were worried about rain so we had the courtyard tented and it only added to the beauty. The only thing I"m sad about is that it's over. If you are getting married, you should look no further than The Carrington in sweet downtown Buda!!!!! -

My Husband and I got Married at the Carrington in November, 2019. Finally making a moment for a very well deserved review! For starters, the venue was a dream. Something that would have been great, were package options. Whether it be catering partnership or wedding planner, etc. The Venue is great stand alone, but as a bride having a venue that provides more than just the venue itself might appeal even more to the average Bride. Antique, vintage, classic and chic charm, and exactly what I wanted. Their are several options for ceremony and reception space, which was nice to play with. The space really leaves a lot of room for creativity. I see they recently upgraded their isle and that is really nice touch! The coordinators Carrie and Franci are wonderful. They know their stuff, and will provide any and all insight you need. I cannot say enough about the communication, and support these ladies provide day-one to day-of. They made themselves available on many occasions, just outright put my mind at ease. I don't think the venue would be the same without them. My Mom and I used Pink Parasol D&C for our wedding planner/day of coordination.( Which is owned by the ladies as well) Franci and Carrie are who you want to remember as a part of your day, and I am so glad we chose The Carrington. The overall experience, met and exceeded all of my expectations. *additional note - Both my bridal photographer and day of photographer, said it was a photographers dream venue and loved taking shots here.
