We have such good things to say about Tamory Hall. Such a beautiful venue by itself. The old brick and natural light is stunning. It's so close to everything uptown, and a great location. The staff was WONDERFUL. Super flexible, helpful with details and kept things in order the whole night. The team was efficient, communicative and listened to what we wanted! We are very thankful for their dedication to make the day just what we envisioned! No question was a bad question in their eyes. Before we knew it, things were set up, cleared away, or where they needed to be -- the best behind the scenes team. Highly recommend Tamory for your wedding needs!!
