The Villa is amazing! Terri and Jessie are awesome! You just would never believe how they worked everything out for us and worked with us for so many changes we’ve had. I was truly amazed by their professionalism and their caring for us and our event! Jessie was very accommodating to our requests to get the venue ready and it’s a lot of work that she does but she did it all with a smile. Everything turned out beautifully! The building and its location are beautiful, the food is delicious, all of my family raved about the food and the service is impeccable. They were just the sweetest people to work with, so accommodating to us and I would do it all again with them for another event! Everything turned out perfectly, and we really appreciated everything! Definite 5 star for venue, food and services, they did a wonderful job!

The Villa was PERFECT. Stephanie was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better team the views there are to die for! I got soooo many compliments on my choice of wedding spot. The catering they provided was beyond delicious and the staff did a wonderful job making sure all our guests were taken care of. They accommodated all my requests to personalize my wedding, no matter how ridiculous they were! The day was effortless and everything I dreamed of. I would recommend this venue and catering ( I think they cater to all types of events.) My 14 year old sister is already planning her wedding here! L.O.L. Thank you to everyone who worked hard to make it all come together, from the bottom of my heart. Y'all did a fantastic job.

My husband and I got married here in October of this year and everything was perfect! Stephanie and Jessie were great! Very responsive and they go above and beyond to ensure your day is everything you dream of! The venue is absolutely beautiful. Our ceremony was between the trees and it was a fairytale fantasy. They also have an amazing open field in the back that is picture perfect! The bridal suite is spacious with lots of mirrors. The food was amazing and I got so many compliments on the shrimp pasta! It was our photographer and videographers first time there and they both said it was one of their favorites to shoot at. Overall, we could not have chosen a better venue for our big day!

We loved having our wedding at the Villa! It rained the day of our wedding and the staff was great about providing us with options and adjusting quickly to make it work for us. They were able to answer our many questions and were very flexible and accommodating which was fantastic. Overall, they were very easy to work with and our day went pretty smoothly. Only giving 4 stars because I wish communication had been more prompt and follow ups had been better.

The venue is beautiful, and the staff is superb! We had a wonderful time for our event, the bride and groom suites were a great touch they were very spacious and so great for convenience! The food was wonderful, and the grounds were very well kept which made a beautiful setting for the pictures. I can't say enough about how wonderful they treated our family. They were very accommodating with everything from the planning, decorations, rehearsal, food, service and ceremony!

I fell in love with this venue's simple decor, landscape and building all around. I booked my venue before the ownership change and there were no problems transition to new owners. The new staff is very friendly, easy to work with and will answer any questions. A few things from my experience: The bathrooms are small for the amount of people the venue can hold. The AC in June could not keep up with in and out of the building and 270 people (be aware of the heat in June and the amount of people in the building when planning your big day). The venue comes with chairs, tables and linens which was great for the price. I did not have there staff clean up & I wish they had that option (maybe they do but I did not think about that before hand. Luckily I had great friends and family help) You cannot have a cash bar because of the dry county. We hired bar tenders and bought alcohol. This was the best bet! The getting ready rooms were AMAZING! Absolutely loved our day regardless of the little things.

Where do I start, the Villa was the most beautiful place to get married at! My husband and I could not have imagined a more beautiful wedding! The bridal suite was like one from a fairytale it was perfect for all hair and make up to be done in so much room for all of the bridesmaids and the mothers of the groom and the bride! The grooms sweet is what any man would want from the pool table/air hockey table to a fridge for all the beer they couldn’t of been happier! The decorations were wonderful and so fairly price there were also so many that were included in the packages which we liked as well! I would highly recommend the Villa to any bride and groom searching for a rustic fairytale location

Highly recommend! Making decisions for our wedding this past April was not something I took lightly, especially our Venue. After seeing The Villa online and then in-person, I fell in love with it! It was everything we were looking for. Surrounding the venue are gorgeous trees and hills, the inside is beautiful and open. I especially LOVED the Bridal / Grooms suites, both were absolutely stunning!! Also, a huge thanks to Olivia for answering my millions of questions & to Terri for all of her assistance! She helped tremendously on very last minute accommodations/ changes. Couldn’t be more thankful!NOTE: The one thing I will add for brides considering this Venue is the location. Keep in mind that Carriere is a very small town. We stayed in NOLA the weekend of the wedding & many of our guests stayed between Slidell & Picayune. We had no issues with the location since we were prepared for it.
