    My partner and I were recently had a Halloween wedding here, and I cannot recommend Hanover Tavern enough. Having an all-inclusive venue was so extremely helpful and took off a lot of stress when planning. The location is beautiful, especially if you're planning a Fall wedding. We rented the Coach House for our wedding, and had our ceremony in the courtyard. The Coach House has a nice rustic warm charm while still feeling modern. The history and theater of the venue is so cool and unique. They also recently installed a nice patio with a firepit and other heating elements. So our guests could mingle there comfortably in the chilly fall evening. Price was extremely fair, and there are many different options to fit your budget. We also felt extremely welcome as gay couple. The food is fantastic!!! All our guests were raving about the food. They have a wide range of options available. And the chef is extremely accommodating, we had a seasonal dessert and requested it again for our wedding. They knocked it out of the park. But the staff is really what makes Hanover Tavern special. Krissy, the day of coordinator, was so helpful, down to earth, and fun to work with! My family and wedding party loved her. and we always looked forward to our planning meetings. She was also extremely flexible, and helped make accommodations for our themed wedding. She was also very conscious of my Grandmother, who is getting quite up there in age, but still wanted to take part of all the fun! Krissy assisted her and really made her experience special. The event staff are extremely attentive and friendly, and its nice seeing the same group of people throughout the day. They maneuvered our guests around expertly, and even helped transition some of our decorations from outside to the reception without us even asking. They always have your wedding experience in mind, and will go above and beyond to make it special. Even when we had a costume piece break, without a second of hesitation, the staff whisked it away and gave it back to me fixed. I was incredibly touched. Shout out to Don the bartender, he was also excellent and brought an awesome energy to the event that my guests loved. I would recommend Hanover Tavern again and again. They really made our wedding something special :)

  • Highly Recommend Hanover Tavern

    I am so happy that we were able to get married at Hanover Tavern, a venue with a lot of historical character that still offered a spacious, indoor location for the reception (and ceremony in case of bad weather). Being a restaurant, the cocktail hour and buffet options were delicious. And as another bonus, the getting-ready room for the bridal party was newly renovated with a make-up bench, big mirror and comfortable seating. However, the main perk of Hanover Tavern is the great staff. Everyone we worked with there was welcoming and effective. We could count on our main venue contact and day-of coordinator Krissy to make quick updates and answer our questions at all points in the process. She went above and beyond, for example by offering to create a seating chart week-of and by bringing us our own plate of hors d'oeuvres post-ceremony. Everyone also worked well with our DJ and photographer to make sure we hit everything on the timeline. They were instrumental in our perfect evening.
