Absolutely beautiful establishment. Gorgeously and authentically decorated. Everything in sight is picture perfect. More than enough room to accommodate my overnight guests. Pleasantly clear and straightforward with planning and logistics. Before choosing a location for our wedding, I was afraid it was going to be stressful. One thing for absolute certain is that everyone at The Carmichael made the whole experience positive and up-lifting. It felt so much like a fairytale, I didn’t want to come back to real life. 12 out of 10!

The Gillen House Bed and Breakfast was everything we hoped for in a wedding venue. The property is absolutely beautiful, and its peaceful setting made it feel special from the moment we arrived. Staying in the bridal suite the night before and getting ready in the main house made the day feel seamless. The built-in bar inside a converted barn shed was a charming touch that made our cocktail hour even more memorable. The outdoor ceremony in front of the forest, with the wildflower meadow in the background, was stunning and exactly what we envisioned. The backyard was perfect for our tented reception, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and unique the venue was. The Gillen House exceeded our expectations and gave us a wedding day we’ll always treasure. If you’re planning a wedding, I can’t imagine a better place to celebrate such a special occasion.

I had the pleasure of hosting my wedding reception at Golden Door Event Hall on 07/07/2023, and I couldn't have been more satisfied with their services. To start, I had to make a last-minute change to my reception venue, and Golden Door Event Hall was not only available but also incredibly accommodating. Their flexibility, professionalism, and helpfulness were truly exceptional. The staff was always pleasant to work with, making the planning process a breeze. I would wholeheartedly recommend Golden Door Event Hall to anyone in need of a fantastic event venue. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again in the future.
