Amazing Venue & Exceptional Service
•Verified review
•Connie•Oct 6, 2023
Working with Carnivale was outstanding! Our main point of contact was Doug and he was an absolute pleasure to work with- patient, personable and always ten steps ahead. He made the entire wedding planning process a breeze and was extremely helpful. I cannot say enough good things about Doug or Carnivale’s attentive and kind staff. Our guest have continued to compliment how beautiful our wedding was and the amazing service they all received. If Carnivale is on your maybe list, move it to your YES list.

Our Carnivale wedding was absolutely the most perfect night we could have asked for. I have not one single complaint. The service was unmatched, the room was beautiful, everyone was comfortable and of course… the food was absolutely to die for. All of our guests have not stopped ranting and raving about how perfect it was and we are so happy we made the choice to have our wedding there. Highly recommend to anyone looking for good food, good drinks, a good time and the best vibe. We will cherish Carnivale in our hearts forever as they made our special day so perfect and unforgettable.
Amazing food & ambiance!

I am a professional wedding photographer and I have worked with the amazing staff at Carnivale numerous times over the last 3 years. Not only is this venue gorgeous, but the entire team goes above and beyond to make their couples days run smoothly (so important!). I cannot recommend Carnivale enough!
