    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.
