Above & Beyond our Expectations!

Everything about this venue was outstanding! Devoted, caring, and friendly staff that go out of their way to make you feel special. The food was delicious. The ceremony and reception area was beautiful and the decor they provide was lovely. The Hotel room was clean and comfortable. They made the wedding of my dreams come true!

From the very beginning we knew we made the right choice going with C Hotel. Everyone we dealt with was responsive, professional and so, so friendly. Lexi, our coordinator, was always so patient with my endless questions and concerns. Sara, our day of maitre d made the events of the day run so smoothly, from making sure the wedding party was in line and ready to go, to turning on all our the candles in out centerpieces when we completely forgot about them. 100% recommend C Hotel for your wedding!

They helped make our day a success

The Castelli room was perfect for our medium-sized wedding. They helped us make the day as excellent as possible and accommodated our needs. Lexi and Natalie went above and beyond for us.

I loved having both the ceremony and reception in the same place and the staff transformed the room very quickly.

The hotel room was included and made getting ready and cleaning up at the night's end very easy.

Pros; we were able to have all of the services we needed (cake, DJ, meal, bar, linens and centrepieces) taken care of as a part of our Tutta La Vita pkg. The convenience was second to none and our day of coordinator Sara was awesome. Overall everyone had a good time.

Room to improve; chasing down our coordinator Lexi was a bit of a hassle sometimes. For a hotel, you think more people would be available to answer phones. We were not told until the NIGHT OF that the DJ lighting (think strobe lights etc) were EXTRA cost. So we basically danced in the dim light. No glassware after 10pm; serving drinks I’m plastic cups? Kind of tacky.

Had such a wonderful wedding at this venue

Lexi was really helpful with the many questions I've had over the last year!

The venue looked beautiful and our vision came to life. Everything turned out exactly how we wanted it to and we are so thankful and happy we went with the CHotel. The food was also really good, many of our guests commented on it being the best food they have had at a wedding!!

I would recommend this venue to everyone and I would definitely use them for other events as well!!

Absolutely perfect

My coordinator Lexi, and my maître d’, Sara were both absolutely amazing to work with! The c hotel wedding packages makes wedding planning simple and stress free. Our provided dj, Carolina was great and our provided bartender, Hazel was phenomenal! Our ceremony was on the terrace which was absolutely beautiful, with our reception on the dolce rooftop. The rooftop provides such a beautiful and intimate location for a wedding. The greenery walls and Edison lights make for such a picturesque backdrop. Couldn’t be happier with choosing this venue!

Beautiful venue and a great value!

We were so happy with our choice to have our wedding at the C Hotel! All the staff were so helpful and great to work with both leading up to the wedding and the day of the celebration. As well, the value of what you get with their package is absolutely unbeatable! Pretty much everything is included, making planning so easy but still resulting in the wedding of my dreams

Good experience, friendly staff, food was just ok

My experience with Carmen’s was amazing. The wedding planner Lexi is amazing and is always available to answer any and all questions. The staff on day of had everything the way I wanted it and even went above and beyond to help me fix my centrepieces for me when they didn’t look right. Only issue we had was the food. The food for the price was not worth it. Very dry chicken, some plates where cold and the wait in between courses is just too long. I don’t know if it’s because of my location which was the rooftop so food had to travel up a private lift or if it was because they are a little short staffed. Other then that I mean it was a 7 outta 10 for me which is still amazing quality. Also the hotel itself is very clean and well kept.

Exceeded our expectations!

Beyond happy with our experience with The C Hotel by Carmen’s! After getting engaged in 2019 and having to replan due to the pandemic my husband and I were finally able to have our wedding April 23rd 2022. From the start we knew we were in good hands! Nicola, Lexi and Terry we super supportive, helpful, understanding,responsive, patient and informative while we were planning. Our maître d Samantha was amazing ensuring the ceremony and reception went smoothly and making sure our room was set up to match what I envisioned! The staff Daniel, Camielle and Haizel were friendly and fantastic ensuring that all of our guests were well taken care of. It was important to my husband and I when planning that we find a venue that not only provided a lot of the services in house (ie: decor, food, bar services,cake etc), but was also affordable and didn’t skimp on quality, and we definitely found that with The C Hotel! The C Hotel staff went above and beyond our expectations and we recieved dozens of compliments on the delicious food from Baci, decor, and overall evening, plus we got to enjoy our complimentary honeymoon suite that evening which is definitely a bonus! We would without a doubt recommend The C Hotel to others, and will definitely be considering holding any future events there as well. We can’t wait to return to The C Hotel to celebrate our anniversaries and enjoy the delicious food Baci has to offer! Thank you so much again to The C Hotel for making our day wonderful! ❤️Savannah & Zachary
