Hanover Tavern

  • Starts at $5,000

Are you planning your Dream Wedding? – Congratulations! Thank you for considering Hanover Tavern as your venue! Weddings at Hanover Tavern provide a gorgeous historic setting for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Our variety of space options allow guests to be comfortable during all seasons and offer couples the ability to have a stunning outdoor or dramatic, softly-lit Coach House ceremony.

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.

Candace truly helped me to bring my wedding vision to fruition. As a person who does not wear make-up on a daily basis, I wanted a look that was still me but with some pizzazz. Candace delivered! Even during the process, she checked in with me regularly to make sure that I was comfortable with the look and was flexible in dialing it back when I felt that we were moving into a glam zone that I was not comfortable with. Her and Brittany took care with by bridesmaid and Brittany even made my sweet little flower girl feel included with some faux make up application. It was an amazing start to an amazing day.

When Annie and I booked him, we had full intentions to have him do our wedding. We put down the deposit, and then things went sideways financially. We unfortunately had to go back to him and cancel. My fiancé was devastated, so I reached out to him, and asked if he could do a quick hour shoot, like an engagement session. He was very quick to reply, and get us on the schedule. He was so kind and understanding, I truly wish we could have him for our wedding, but I am grateful he was willing to work with us. I know my wife-to-be and I are going to cherish those pictures forever.

Poppin' Peonies began to bud in 2020 & it has flourished in the last few years. I'm Bre, I am a solo-traveling florist and LOVE any adventure when it comes to a new area. Floral design began as a hobby and grew into a true passion. I love gardening and sourcing from local farms (in addition to my own garden!) as much as possible to give each client the best product possible. Being a part of your special day is truly an experience to encounter. Helping create the overall aesthetic of the event and watching the pieces come together is amazing! I hope to bring your unique touch to your wedding day!

Bre was, in a word, INCREDIBLE! From start to finish, we knew she was someone we could really trust. She was so great at bringing our visions to life, was super flexible, and was always full of helpful suggestions thanks to her expertise! When things got a little hectic with wedding planning (as things always do), Bre was one person I never ever felt like I needed to worry about! She always made me feel like she had everything completely handled with her occasional check-ins and told me to let her know if she could be of any more help. She would get back to me often times within HOURS. On the day of our wedding, Bre had such a calm presence and had everything looking amazing before I even knew it was all set up! It felt like she anticipated everything - she even had a few extra blooms to add to our cake! She is such a gem as a person and is so easy to talk to, not to mention the incredible skill and reliability she brings to the table. It is a rare talent to be able to translate someone’s words and vision to reality! Bre, thank you so much for making our wedding so beautiful, and thank you for also being someone I enjoyed getting to know!

From the first time we talked with them on the phone we felt absolutely at ease and knew they were the right decision. This is a team that loves love and is so gifted at capturing all the little details that make a wedding video so special. I really appreciated that the voices of us and our loved ones were recorded and used through the video. They asked what was important to us and made sure those people and moments were captured in our video. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors, were always so kind, and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. My husband is camera shy and was nervous that he would feel like he was being recorded all day. After the wedding, he said he didn't even notice they were there, which is wonderful since they captured him laughing and smiling all day. I would absolutely recommend them for your special day!

DJ Anthony Bryant (aka DJ Ant-Boogie) was absolutely amazing and such an important part of our wedding experience. When planning a wedding, there are a million things to worry about. DJ Ant Boogie is not one of them. He was so nice and so patient and professional with us during the planning, and an absolute joy to work with during the actual wedding. We had such little direction for him and gave the most vague descriptions of our friends and ourselves and the general vibe and he crafted the most perfect wedding playlist I have ever heard. All night people were complimenting us on our amazing song choices (all DJ ant boogie) and the dance floor was alive literally all night. He also did such a wonderful job with all of our special requests and announcements and all the “scripted wedding stuff” that happens during a wedding. Everyone had such an amazing time and he was such an integral part of that. DJ Ant Boogie, thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. We had a perfect night, and we are so grateful.

Jessica and her team did the florals for our wedding, and they were AMAZING! She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. I reached out to many florists, and she was patient and intentional, taking my mumbled jumbled ideas and putting together something magical for our big day. No idea was too big or small. We had several one-on-one meetings, and she put together an inspirational slide deck. That’s when I truly started to see all the pieces coming together! She worked within my budget and let me know beforehand if there would be any additional costs based on what I wanted. It was also nice because I could handle all my floral rentals through her (things like vases and candles) without needing to contact additional vendors. On the actual wedding day, Jessica and her team were incredibly kind, keeping me at ease. I trusted her to get creative and make decisions when I didn't have an exact plan for something. Cannot recommend f&b enough!

Not only does he take beautiful photos (we have SO many favorites!), every step of the process was fun and absolutely perfect. He is very professional, accommodating, and incredibly detail-oriented, thoughtful and organized--perfect traits for a wedding photographer! Before coming to the wedding he went out of his way and asked if I was hungry or needed something from the store which was very considered. We truly couldn't have imagined a better photographer for our wedding day! We cannot thank and praise him enough, and we feel so lucky to have found him for our wedding. I would have a very hard time letting a friend of mine choose a different photographer.

We wanted to highlight local vendors with an emphasis on POC, women, and queer people - and we could not be happier with Julissa. Her cheerful demeanor and ability to guide us without making us feel pressure made the process of planning a large winter wedding extremely easy. She was thorough, transparent, and a joy to work with! She checked in with us multiple times during the day to make sure our vision was captured. She delivered both the sneak peak and full gallery within a great timeframe, and everything was gorgeous!! I cannot recommend Julissa highly enough, thank you so much!

I do not even know where to begin - I could never recommend Jennifer and Fete de Jour enough!! Jennifer was so amazing to work with throughout the entire process and literally made our day ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Everything went so seamlessly thanks to Jennifer and I enjoyed literally every second of our wedding day completely relaxed knowing she had it all covered.

Amanda was so enthusiastic and timely in responding to all of our questions during the planning process, and her extensive knowledge of weddings ensured that no detail was overlooked. On the big day itself, the staff went above and beyond decorating the venue with the items we had dropped off the day before, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special moment. The Boathouse at Sunday park, which overlooks the lake, was the perfect romantic backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Everything was lovely and ran so smoothly thanks to Amanda's careful orchestration. We are so grateful to her for helping our wedding vision come to life seamlessly.

Linden Row Inn, a historic wedding venue in Richmond, Virginia, is ideal for couples wishing to exchange vows in a setting steeped in history. Furnished with antiques from the middle and late 1800s, the venue is featured on the National Registry of Historic Places. A staple in the wedding industry for the over 30 years, Linden Row Inn is the perfect choice for capturing the importance of your special day!

We had our ceremony in the courtyard on a Sunday afternoon. There was a storm earlier that day and the staff spent an hour or more clearing the debris from the area before our event. They had a rain plan, but thankfully we didn’t have to use it. The courtyard is beautiful and shady. We had our ceremony facing the fountain and were able to decorate it how we wanted. The entire facility is beautiful and great for pictures. Casey was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. Alexa was our day of contact and she was amazing! The space is not very ADA friendly but Casey made sure that there was a ramp and special parking for our guest that needed it. All of our guests said it was a beautiful space. Several stayed in the hotel for the weekend and really enjoyed it. We got a suite which was beautiful and large enough for the bridal party to get ready in. We had hair and make up come to us for 5 people and had plenty of space. Overall, it was great and the staff was amazing.

NO RULES. JUST FUN. Wedding days are awesome. There’s you, the rad couple who has decided to take the big leap. And there’s the cake, the vows, the friends and family, the toasts and all the love. (Did I mention cake?) Even though weddings can be awesome, they can also be a bit overwhelming at times. With Awesomesauce Photography, you don’t have to do anything you don’t feel like doing. I want you to actually enjoy partying with your friends and eat the awesome meal you have meticulously chosen, not spend it taking portraits for hours. With me, there are no rules. Just fun.

The set up of my cake and cupcakes was beautiful. There was clear communication between us throughout planning and the day of. Everything was delicious, so much so that I had to stop folks from taking multiple cupcakes lol. My cake was beautiful and I will definitely be working with Sassy Treats again.

When looking through your photos in 10, 20, or even 50 years, you want each photo to spark a dozen timeless memories – like the chill of the autumn air, the way your dress swung to and fro, how your grandma couldn’t stop smiling the whole night, the taste of your new spouse’s lips, and countless more. You’re looking for true and honest evidence that brings you back and steadies you in these fleeting moments. You want to freeze your day just how it is and cherish it forever. Hey, I'm Jess! You're in the right place.

She was easy to work with and took the most beautiful photos that my husband and I could’ve ever asked for on our wedding day. AND she was a blast on the dance floor! I will recommend Jess to any and everybody for photography because her work is absolutely amazing!! We got at least 100 sneak peaks the NEXT DAY, and we’re blown away at the quality. Thanks so much again, Jessica and Jarius!

Every couple is different and we strive to create something with you that truly reflects that. From first meet to final delivery, you can expect a genuine experience that hopefully feels like working with a friend more than a vendor.

Working with Cat as our videographer was an absolute joy! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she was not only incredibly talented but also a wonderful person to have by our side on our wedding day. Her easygoing nature made it so comfortable to be around her, and she truly felt like part of our celebration. Cat always had a smile on her face, which radiated positivity throughout the day. She captured every moment with such deliberate ease, making it all feel effortless. From the glimpses we've seen so far, it’s clear she perfectly encapsulated the overwhelming love, joy, and happiness of our wedding. You can genuinely feel the emotion in her film, bringing those precious moments back to life for us. We are especially grateful for Cat's suggestion to add on Super 8 film before the wedding; we had so much fun with it throughout the day and know that it will add such a beautiful and personal touch to our final video. We can’t wait to see the full film to relive our day again, knowing it will be a cherished keepsake that we will treasure for years to come. Thank you, Cat, for your incredible work and for capturing our day so beautifully!
