Stunning Venue

A++ for the Tabard Inn. We had our ceremony and reception in the upstairs rooms and everything was superb. Originally, we chose this venue because of its top-notch food. We had dinner at the Tabard many times before and the food lived up to the hype. Daniel and Elena were wonderful to work with and we're so kind and accommodating. They made sure our big day went off flawlessly. The Tabard Inn provided table numbers, place cards, and all the table settings. It could not have been easier to have the venue equipped to do almost all of it (flowers and party favors were the only things we brought ourselves). It is a unique venue that has a certain charm and ended up being the perfect place for our special day. Looking forward to returning year after year to celebrate our anniversary!

Highly recommend!

As soon as we visited, it was pretty clear that The Tabard Inn was the right place for us to get married. The attentive staff, great restaurant on-site, and distinct decor made it ideal for our wedding of 45 people. Daniel, the Director of Catering and Community Liaison, worked closely with us to iron out details from start to finish at every level and to tailor the experience to us; he was truly essential to our wedding day. Because Tabard is majority employee-owned, there’s a lot of flexibility in customizing the experience without a lot of red tape. We booked the patio for the ceremony and rooms 24 and 26 for the reception.We didn’t even need to get a wedding cake since dessert was included in the three-course plated dinner. The Tabard staff was very efficient in the setup and in moving from room to room. The waiters and bartenders were all very personable and professional, and the whole evening flowed very easily for us. We look forward to going back to the Tabard for dinners on special nights and for brunches.

The best place for an intimate wedding

We recently had our wedding reception here and everything was outstanding! The food received rave reviews, starting with the hors d'ouvres through the dinner and the desserts, and the ambiance was perfect. The staff created our seating chart and the seating name/place cards for us, and set everything up just as we arranged beforehand. It was an unforgettable night of eating, drinking, speeches, and dancing. The two large connected rooms used for the reception enabled people who wanted to dance to dance the night away in one room, while the others could socialize in the other room without the music from the dancing room being too overly loud for them to talk and hear each other. And yet it still all felt like one big interconnected space. The venue has so much character that we didn't have to worry about all the decorating that we would otherwise have had to do ourselves, which saved us a lot of time and stress. We brought some flower centerpieces and that was it! All of our guests absolutely loved the venue. They accommodated our vendors with seating stations even helped with the set up. And the prices were also very reasonable/competitive. We also booked a room at the inn and stayed there for the night after the reception, and the hotel room too had a ton of character and was super comfortable. Hotel staff was accommodating, we were able to check in early to get ready for our ceremony. Breakfast at the restaurant the following morning was also excellent. We highly recommend the Tabard Inn to anyone looking for a venue for their wedding reception or other events!
