I cannot rave enough about Carper Winery! The services Tracy and her staff provided resulted in a smooth and successful wedding day. We received professional, prompt, and courteous services throughout the whole process. Bartender staff was top notch! We had both our wedding and reception in the winery. The transition between the two events was seamless and easy. Tracy showed her experience by suggesting a fitting table set up, and offered help with choosing beer/wine/hosted drinks. On the day of, she had the winery open on time, perfectly clean and ready to go for us to decorate. The bridal and groom suites were an extremely convenient add in. It made the morning a little less chaotic! She also recommended several outside services who we were able to connect with to complete our day and have a beautiful wedding! Thank you so much Carper Winery!
