To all of the staff at Carmen’s:
Thanks again for the perfect wedding! I don’t even know where to begin… from the moment we came in to see the venue I knew we were in good hands. The meal was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the décor was hands-down a true princess day!
Thank you for making my fairytale come true!

Good Morning Peter,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Carmen's for the excellent services that were provided to our guests at our son's wedding.
Firstly, we would like to mention one of your staff members, Debby Russ. Debby made the whole process of planning this wedding so much easier, with her patience's and expertise we survived, many thanks to her.
The off-premise hall (Garth Trails) looked like a picture perfect post card. Thanks to your son Joe's and Ammar fine art of preparing the ballroom. With Joe and Rachel's additional to the tables, organza overlays the room lit up, it truly looked magical. Thank you Joe, Ammar and Rachel your input really did make the room picture perfect.
Your staff that night were right on target, very thing was timed out perfectly. From the bar opening, dinner being served to the late night buffet. Please thank your staff for us, they were very professional in their duties.
We would also like to thank you for our rehearsal dinner menu and discount. Your lasagne's were delicious, we had every variety that night and everyone enjoyed each and every one. The extra sauce was so good, truly the best lasagne's we've ever eaten. The pizza was so fresh and favourable everyone dug right in and it was gone in a flash.
Many thanks Peter, and have a great day!

Hello Matthew,

Kacper and I wanted to thank you for assisting us in making our wedding day more beautiful then we ever imagined! It was a great night and everything was perfect. We have so many comments from family and friends stating that Carmen's was an outstanding venue with amazing food, great band and beautiful decor! We had many friends saying, "Wow, I wish I booked my wedding here!". I was blown away with how the ballroom was set up. It was gorgeous! On behalf of Kacper and I, we would like to thank Carmen's for a wonderful night!

Take care,

You were always very patient and extremely helpful with all of my questions. Many of guests came up to us and complimented Carmen's on the wonderful food, service and hall.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for making our special day so lovely and memorable. You went above and beyond the call of customer service to treat us as if we were family. Words cannot express how pleased we were with every step of the way. You were able to help us plan our dream wedding by accommodating every one of our wishes. Our guests are still buzzing about our wedding, and it’s all because of you.

Yours truly,
Justin & Angela Leroux

I was with a lunch group Dec. 14th to see the Platters. The show was GREAT...although the lead singer was a little over the top..the lunch another thing. My plate was very cold although the food was warm. Not enough cranberry sauce or gravy.
One small gravy boat for six or eight people is not enough. By the time the server served the meals and came back with more gravy half the meal had been consumed. I have been to many functions at Carmen's and this was not a good experience. Hope you can improve on this matter. Disapointed.

We just want to thank everyone at Carmen’s for making our wedding day unforgettable. You all exceeded every expectation we had for the day. A special thanks to Joe and Mary. You were amazing.
