Tap & Vine at the White House

Auburn, CA directly across from the Courthouse. Visually, the place is beautiful and the downtown scene was exactly what we wanted. I did have some difficulty in communication with the venue during the planning stage of my wedding. A month before the wedding I lost contact with the venue coordinator for a few non-consecutive weeks without notice. Only after calling, texting and nearly a walk-in call, was I notified that the coordinator was out and would get back to me soon. Not knowing if my wedding was still scheduled and being taken care of at this venue the month of was definitely stressful. I was also verbally communicated to that live flowers were provided for the tables and archway. I discovered the week before that only some live flowers were provided for the archway alone. Additionally, we purchased wine through the venue for our guests and champagne for toasts. Champagne was to be served to our guests during the toast, and only distributed at the bar afterwards. There was no Champagne on the tables for our guests during the toast, and only one bottle at the head table which we served ourselves. At the end of the night our family went to retrieve the unserved Champagne only to be told it was all gone and served to our guests. Upon a few rounds of checking behind the bar, a couple of empty champagne bottles were found and a few full champagne bottles were produced, but all of our purchased bottles could not be accounted for. We truly loved the look and feel of this venue and the food blew us away. During the planning stage of the wedding we often would drop by for lunch dates at this restaurant. Four our wedding day, we did the taco buffet and it blew us away. I have yet to eat something from the menu I would not order again. Overall, this venue has amazing food, gorgeous views and truly a very kind staff. It seems a bit small for our 150 guests but we found that the spaces brought our guests together and kept the energy of the day high. We have heard only great things about the experience from our guests. I was only left wanting for more frequent and clear communication about services, availability for questions, and discrepancy repair.
