All of the different specialties (event coordinator, operations, catering staff) at TAM were so helpful, accommodating, and easy to work with. I really appreciated their proactive communication & guidance. My guests raved about the food (unfortunately they don’t plan on providing this service - you’ll need to hire an outside catering company). Classy venue. Angie was on it!!

We had a great time at the Press Room! We worked with several members of the staff and all were friendly, helpful, and flexible. The space itself is beautiful and such a fun, unique venue- we hardly had to decorate at all and received so many compliments from guests. If you book the Press Room, you have to use Jonz Catering, but they were amazing also.
