Wedding Testimonials
"I can't tell you how wonderful it was to work with Kay and all the staff at the Mad Batter and Carroll Villa. Kay made the experience as stress free as humanly possible. She helped me with so many of the details and whatever I asked of her so told me no problem. All of the waiting staff was perfect. They were very polite and right there when anyone needed anything...I can't say enough wonderful things about everyone who helped make my wedding the joyful day I had hoped for when planning it in my mind."

"THANK YOU so much for making this so easy for us. We checked out about three restaurants this weekend and while your food is outstanding (the best of the three we tried), the personal service you give means just as much - if not more. Kathy and Alexis were so helpful on Saturday and the time you gave us Sunday after your long Saturday in DC was greatly appreciated!"
-Wende Gannon
"Joe and I would like to thank you for an amazing wedding reception. Recently, Joe and I celebrated our wedding reception at The Mad Batter Restaurant and Carroll Villa Hotel. Our guests and us occupied The Carroll Villa Hotel and had our ceremony on Jackson Street and Beach Ave in Cape May and reception at The Mad Batter Restaurant. Speaking both for my husband and I, our entire event was a dream wedding. Both the owners, Pam and Mark, truly put out their best efforts. Their special "flair" and their professional staff just made our entire event special in every way. The Mad Batter Restaurant and Carroll Villa Hotel, its owners and staff have a tremendous balance between professionalism and personal touch to every detail. Our guests always had what the needed, never felt they were imposing when asking for anything. The food, I could go on and on, all the guests raved about it. Pam, thank you for taking all my suggestions and ideas and making it a perfect day for us. The two room - honeymoon suite we had was beautiful. We cannot wait to come back to visit year after year ~ we found a new home in Cape May!
"I will send pictures of the reception soon. Thank you for everything you assisted with, you and your staff were the best - we had a blast!!"
-Carrie Anne Benscoter and Joe Haines
