“I had a magical time here and absolutely loved the galaxy motif painted on the ceiling in one of the alcoves leading to the bar, it was so unexpected and delightful!”

From the reviews

The moment my husband and I walked onto the Highgate property last year we knew we had found our dream venue. The Highgate staff were incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating to our vision from our first tour all the way up until our wedding day.

Hello! I recently photographed a wedding at Highgate Carriage House, and it was beautiful! Tyler Kovar was an amazing wedding coordinator as well, who was so attentive throughout the day. Highly recommend! - NV Photography, LLC

I LOVE photographing weddings at Highgate! The venue has lots of variety for couples portraits and beautiful gardens and foliage that set the stage of a romantic day. The building and gardens provide such a unique look to your photos so they look like a European venue!

I attended a wedding here last weekend and may I say it was the most gorgeous venue I'd ever attended. Almost every square foot was so picturesque and straight out of a fairytale. The disney version of course , not the Grimm Brothers. The restrooms were pristine, the lawn well maintained. Plenty of street parking.

Getting married at Highgate Carriage House

Highgate Carriage House comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
