Historic Boone Tavern Hotel and Restaurant

My daughter was married at Boone Tavern in April, 2021. I must say that everything went smoothly and it was beautiful. I found the staff to very professional and accommodating. The food, decorations at the reception hall (Event Center), lighting, sound, and service were all excellent! The professional atmosphere made the day go smoothly.

Boone Tavern has been a very special place for us in our relationship, so it was the first place we thought of when it came to a wedding venue. Because it was a second wedding for us, we wanted something intimate, unique, & historical, and we got just what we wanted. We were so impressed from start to finish, and our guests felt the same way! Prior to the wedding day we worked with Aaron, who was great in responding to us quickly, along with being accommodating & helpful throughout the process. When we needed special, last-minute dinner seating due to COV-19, he was great in suggesting a room that would meet our needs. I know that it helped that we were there during the week (in regards to room availability), and that we married on a Thursday, but every single person we interacted with went above & beyond to make us feel welcomed and at home. The guest rooms were spacious, clean, bright and comfortable. For our ceremony, they were great in moving furniture to give us more space. For the dinner afterwards, they were very helpful in getting things setup just as we had envisioned. The food was hot, fresh, & tasted amazing, and our waitress made sure we were never without a drink. She stealthily gave us amazing service, all while managing to not interrupt our various activities & conversations. The hotel also gave us so many places inside & out to take some beautiful photos & video! We all hated to leave the next day! We can't thank the staff enough for making our little wedding day so perfect!

The dining hall is beautiful, but the other rooms look like a standard hotel or event center. I wanted to get married at a local church and have the reception in the dining hall. In order to get married, on a Saturday, and have a reception in the dining hall I had to book 40 rooms plus meet their food and beverage minimum. We only have 125 people coming and they are mostly local so we didn’t need rooms and 40 rooms added a significant amount to the price. Obviously we picked another location.

When I first visited the Boone Tavern I was truly blown away by how beautiful it was. I had toured many other venues, but they just weren't what I was looking for. The decor and atmosphere truly blew me away and I knew that this had to be the place. For the first couple months of planning it was difficult to get a hold of the wedding coordinator. She was unresponsive to emails and would tell me things that I "could do / have", but in the end those things I was promised weren't actually true. Half-way until my wedding date I quit getting responses completely. Myself and my mother tried calling day after day and sending emails after emails with no response. Finally, we found out the coordinator found a new job and nobody bothered to let me know. If we wouldn't have called, I don't even know if they would have ever reached out to us. On my rehearsal dinner night (which we also had there), one of the members of the staff ripped the bill out of my hand while I was asking him a question and walked off. The main wedding coordinator wasn't even there the day of my wedding!!!! It was left up to her assistant who I had only talked to the day before. If it weren't for my vendors, my wedding would have been a disaster. My florist set up all the tables and linens (that we rented), the centerpieces, etc. We had an OPEN bar and they RAN OUT OF BEER shortly after the night began. How does that even happen?!?! Nobody went to get more. My DJ went behind the bar and saved/hid my husbands drink of choice (because they were gone before we even got back from pictures). It was completely unorganized and I am extremely disappointed in how my wedding was handled. The plated meal was awful, one side of the room was done with their meal and the other still didn't have food. Beautiful venue, but would never recommend.
