We had a great experience using The Tea Room as our wedding reception venue. The space is absolutely stunning, and the staff was friendly and easy to work with. We toured The Tea Room and signed later that week. We loved the layout and decor right away. While we did not get ready there, the bridal suite is beautiful with natural light, mirrors, plenty of seating, and a private restroom. It was the perfect place to relax and reset throughout the night. The sound system was excellent. At other receptions I have been to, the music can be either too loud or uneven throughout the space, but that was not the case at The Tea Room. I also have only good things to say about our vendors who worked with the The Tea Room during our big day and in the past. The staff was always kind and quick to answer our emails. They allowed us to come by to see the space during the planning process and were present as we set up the day before. (This did come with an additional fee, but it was worth it for the peace of mind and stress-free setup.) Everything was handled professionally. Lastly, the space itself is stunning, spacious, and comfortable. It was exactly what we envisioned and perfect for everything we needed. Our guests loved it and commented on how beautiful and welcoming it felt.

The Tea Room is an elegant venue, situated in the heart of downtown. You've got easy access to hotels for getting ready before a wedding or for guests to head to after your event. There are spots inside for photos, as well as many great nearby locations! The staff is always helpful and goes above & beyond! As a photographer, I love the Tea Room- definitely consider it for your wedding venue!

We had our wedding at the tea room and were blown away by how beautiful the venue is, how organized and helpful the staff is and how perfect the day was. Highly recommend this venue - from the balcony doors to the stage to the beautiful gold chandeliers, it’s absolutely stunning and classy! Maddie, Lori and Megan were all amazing and so helpful!!

We had our wedding reception here, and it was amazing! Sarah and Elizabeth are rockstars and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it, and they kept me sane throughout the planning process in the month or so leading up to it! Guests commented on how stunning it was, the flow is so nice for a wedding, and our pictures inside are gorgeous. Such a pretty, elegant place!

Love the Tea Room! Super elegant space, balcony with an amazing view! This venue is one of my top favorites. It also has a private room for the bride and groom to have a moment to relax with their wedding party and freshen up. Along with a private bathroom. The restoration of the Tea Room is so well done. If you look at the celling you can see the original molding that they were able to save. It is a reminder of the past and how far they have come into bringing new life back into such a beautiful historical space.
