Personal Message from the Manager
Name of Wedding Contact: Matthew
Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to have a look at The Carpenters venue. I've personally owned and run the Carpenters since 2004. We've done so many weddings I've lost count! The venue has been extended and loving renovated over the time I've been here. We've a bar, 2 restaurants and and air conditioned function room. I'm a friendly and laid back. There's no pressure selling here. I just take great pleasure in meeting and helping people achieve their perfect day. Please get in touch :D
