Carter Plantation is such a gorgeous venue. We loved that everything was taken care of in house so we didn’t have to find a separate caterer, bar, coordinator, etc! The coordinator, Lauren, is the most incredible vendor to work with! She is SO good at her job and you can tell she absolutely loves it!We had our florist drop off bunches of flowers and Lauren used them to decorate the entire reception. She also helped us pick the song I walked down the aisle to.I would get married here over and over again if I could!! Everything was absolutely PERFECT! Reviewed on 13-06-2023

Devin Kaliszeski(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-04-2022 I got married at Carter Plantation in April 2022 and it was the best decision we could’ve made!!! Carter has always been such a special place for me and my husband, and we knew it would be the perfect place for our wedding, but we didn’t know that it would end up being everything we had dreamed and so much more!!! The event team at Carter gave everything to make sure our night was perfect. Lauren was an angel sent from above and went above and beyond to meet my every need! From always being there to manage and tend to our large family and wedding party to making sure every detail of my wedding vision come to life even better than I’d planned, or even racing over to my villa to bring me a comb for a hair malfunction right before pictures🥹, she was such a blessing and pleasure to work with! Coming from someone who used to coordinate weddings, my expectations were high and she far exceeded them!! Danielle, Nicole, and Victoria did an amazing job as well! They truly made an impression on all of our friends and family and helped make our experience one they will all be talking about for ages!! Danielle consistently made sure me and my husband and our families were taken care of and always had a drink or whatever we needed. There is no better team to trust with such an important event!!! The entire weekend was flawless! We had our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner Friday night, a round of golf for the guys Saturday morning, wedding Saturday night, and brunch Sunday! It made everything so easy to have our family and wedding party stay in the villas for the weekend so we didn’t have to go anywhere from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning! Not having to worry about travel in the midst of all that craziness is a lifesaver! We got married in the atrium and had our reception in the ballroom and everything was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!

She even helped me deal with those awkward family dynamics that no one really knows how to deal with. She brought my vision to life. We did our wedding on a budget, so I didn't have a flower or decorator budget, but that didn't matter because Lauren had an entire storage room of literally every decoration you could think of. Down to bouquets. She executed seamlessly, answered all of the questions, troubleshooted anything I wasn't sure about, and was there with me every step of the way on the day of.

After we booked the ballroom, she called us and said the other couple canceled the atrium and asked if we wanted it. We were so happy and said yes immediately! The atrium is perfect for a small wedding like ours. I’ve worked at a few event centers before and have seen different experiences. We weren’t waited on like I hoped we would be, but other than that everything was great. Everyone loved the food and said nothing but nice things about the venue. We did have two guys come in trying to crash the party and get free stuff but they were kicked out. I only saw them once. The honeymoon suite was wonderful too. We did our gender reveal at the reception and Lauren was super helpful with that. So glad we chose Carter Plantation. Would book again for another event. Reviewed on 11-11-2020
