WHAT COUPLES ARE SAYING...
"A great place to have a wedding! The rooms are spacious and eclectic. We arrived early, had a delicious Porter at the in house brewery then went up to our room, got dressed attended a wedding stayed late at the reception and went up to our room all without going outside. The staff is polite and efficient. In the morning we breakfasted right next to the reception desk. The price was about what you'd expect, but the experience was over the top great."

"I would recommend working with Tappo Venues to anyone who is looking to have a smooth, fun, and beautiful wedding! We worked closely with Alexa Graff and Christa DiFiglia, who were both so helpful in making our dream wedding a reality! Our wedding planning was a little rocky at first, but as soon as we found this company, I was so confident in all our decisions and in who was going to be running our day. Professional, personable, and overall amazing!!"

"My wife and I hosted an anniversary party, and brunch both in the Greenhouse room at the Lafayette. We were absolutely not disappointed. From the first time meeting with Christa and Kim about the venue and planning, all the way to the party itself in September 2024, was pretty seamless. Christa was all over the arrangements in a relaxed, but still reassuring fashion. The venue was beautiful for both events. Kim and the staff were on point late into Saturday night, then again for Sunday morning. We could not had asked for a better team. Everyone was professional, yet personable, adding to the enjoyment of the evening. And the timing of food and cake and coffee and the like was awesome. Our food was fantastic. I don't have enough hats to take off for the chef. For the party, we did a large casual grazing table with some upgrades, and a full brunch buffet the next morning. I am still thinking about how good it all was. We would not hesitate to book with Tappo again, no matter the location."
