From the reviews

O M G. I cannot say enough about The Carriage House. We had our wedding on a beautiful Friday in April and it was hands down better than anything I ever imagined. The ability to feel completely removed from busy Cedar Rapids, but still be downtown is incredible. From the bartenders, to the amazing venue Manager (Tracy!

The Carriage House was the perfect venue for our Wedding! We absolutely fell in love when we first toured due to the beautiful courtyard, spacious bride/groom rooms, stunning upstairs, and it was plenty of room for our 100 guest wedding.

★★★★★ — Natalie, Sep 2024

We loved celebrating our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception at The Carriage House. The venue is beautiful and feels like a fairytale. We had guests compliment us on using both the outdoors and indoors for our dance floor and grand entrances.

★★★★★ — Hayley, Nov 2024

We immediately fell in love with the Carriage House for our wedding venue! Tracy was super helpful throughout the planning process and made sure we had everything in place before the big day. We got so many compliments at the wedding on the venue and it accommodated everyone very well - especially with the courtyard!

Getting married at The Carriage House

The 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.
