This May Be It!

Hanover Tavern - built in 1743 as part of the Hanover Courthouse plantation, this little historical gem is another one of the wedding venues we have been excited to visit. Well, Kyle went on Tuesday, while I was working, and came home and basically told me it was pretty much the one.

The place is very antiquey - with a post office from the 1790s and a theater room that has the title of the first dinner theater, built into the tavern in the 1950s. It has charm and a historical courthouse across the street, which provides a lovely old backdrop for the ceremony. Kyle said that the event manager seemed easy to work with and very helpful, which is great. I love the look of it, I do, but, like every other site, I always find something that stops me from being super excited. This time its a combo of three: price is a little high, we can only use the food catering on site - we can't shop around, and the tent outside looks kind of ugly. ...But I have only seen pictures. I will share them with you...if you have an opinion, feel free to share. : )

I like this area - inside dining area. Good back-up in case of rain.

Back patio - in front of tent, for extra seating.

Back of Tavern...same patio.

Tent from outside.

Inside Tent...the taped together dirt rug carpet thing is the ugly part.

It's too bad that they can't take down the tent and we could just have dinner on this lovely patio.

Front of the historic courthouse across the street.

Cool view from inside the courthouse.

More courthouse....awesome view.

Cool little building along the wall around the courthouse property.

If only they would let us shop around for better catering prices...and only if they never put that tent in permanently....then I'd be jumping up and down about it. Still, I give a little hop or two for definite potential....and because I am tired of looking. : )
