The first floor of Taylor House offers a
unique, beautiful and intimate setting for private functions that range from
cocktail receptions, showers and dinners to concerts and business meetings. Our
interior combines antique and modern elements in a way that enhances the beauty
of each, and our grounds feature lush garden spaces for entertaining when
weather permits.
For business meetings we can accommodate up to 20 participants.
For all other functions the limit is around 35.
At social events we do not allow children under the age of 9.
Afternoon events may run until 5 PM with clean-up completed by 6 PM, and
evening events until 8:30 PM with clean-up over by 9:30 PM.
We offer a variety of services that can help make planning easier and lead to a
successful event. Examples of these include arranging for entertainment by
classical or jazz musicians, menu planning, color themes, and flowers. In
addition, we have a stock of function items for rent at below market prices and
with no delivery fee, representing a savings for you.
Contracts are required for all events as well as a $200 refundable security
deposit to cover any damage or spills that necessitate replacement or
professional cleaning.
A detailed information booklet all about functions at Taylor House is available
by e-mail or during your site-visit of the space.
