The Carousell Works was the PERFECT place for a wedding reception! From the moment we initially signed the contract we were taken care of. The staff was very helpful in determining the meal, the table linens, and other details that are often overlooked. The food was AMAZING!! We are still getting compliments on the overall atmosphere and catering. The building gives a unique space for a reception with a very affordable price. Thank you to the staff for making our day so special!!!

We have nothing but good things to say about the carousell works and a catered event foods! We were able to set up the day before and when weather ruined our plans of getting married outside, we had no problems getting the ceremony moved to the carousell works. The staff was very helpful in making sure everything turned out great for our big day! They helped our ceremony and our reception run as smooth as possible! The food was outstanding and we heard about it all night long!! At least a dozen people said it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding! Kudos to Kevin and his team on that!

An amazing place to have your reception! A building that has a lot of history and is very romantic and elegant! The staff is wonderful and very professional! Every bride wants that "magical" night... It is very easily created at the Carousell! Amazing food! Cost is very reasonable and we were able to set up all our center pieces for the tables the day before which helped a lot with our busy schedule! I would recommend the Carousell to any couple that is planning their big day!!!

The Carousell Works is a fabulous venue to hold a ceremony and reception. Our day was absolutely flawless thanks to Diane, Kevin, and their incredible and attentive staff. They were very accomodating to our needs and let us decorate the entire day and rehearse the night before. They responded quickly to our questions and the value for cost couldn't be beat. We were allowed to bring in our own alcohol, the food provided by the inhouse caterer 'A Catered Event' was not your typical wdding food- much better! and extremely reasonably priced. Everything was perfect and our guests were extremely impressed by The Carousell Works!

One word, PERFECT! The Carousell Works was the perfect place to have our winter wedding! What a beautiful set-up, everything was above and beyond what I had expected. We had so many complements on our location, the building, and the food, etc. The staff was so helpful and friendly, I felt comfortable asking questions when I didn’t know most the time what I was doing. The Carousell Works made my wedding the success it was, I couldn’t ask for a better location or group of people to help me! Thank you Diane & staff!

WOW, says it all. Diane was so flexible and accomodating it was unbelievable. What a tag team Kevin (Catered Event) and Diane (Caroussel Works) make. They made my daughter's wedding amazing. Flexibility, cost and beautiful. The hall in itself is beautiful and then the decorating. Thank you very much for helping to make this such a memorable day!!!

The reception site was absolutely beautiful when I arrived. I was treated respectfully by all staff from the time I booked all the way through the event. Everything was done at the right time and without interupting guests during the event. The best part was that I was able to go to the site the day before to decorate which lightened the load that every bride feels the day of the wedding. I would definetely recommend Carousell Works to family and friends!

We had our wedding reception at Carousell Works. It was such a great deal! The entire cost of everything from hall rental, linens, bartenders, etc, was very affordable! We were actually quite surprised at how reasonable everything was! The bartenders were great. The have a FABULOUS caterer on site. Diane was very flexible and helpful during the planning process. They had an event the night before the wedding, but we could still get in during the morning the day of to decorate with plenty of time. People really enjoyed the "entry room" space where they could chat and not have to yell over the DJ's music. They also decorated it beautifully outside of the hall. Highly recommended!

The Carousell is a very pretty place to have your reception, it has alot of room and they allow you to bring in your own keg! So insted of paying $300 for a keg like some reception halls you pay like $80.The Carousell also has a cater there called A Catered event, He also has amazing food. During the wedding I dont think one person didn't say "the food was great".
