Bridal Shower Tea — An Eventective User from The 1859
We hosted my daughter’s bridal shower tea at the 1859 in April and loved it so much! Kate was amazing! Starting from the initial tour, she asked all the right questions, gave us great ideas and provided names of potential vendors we could use to make the event run smoothly. During the planning process, she was quick to respond to any questions we had regarding the space. The guests couldn’t believe how beautiful and tastefully decorated the venue was. It’s an eclectic mix of preserving cozy and nostalgic old decor with all new kitchen amenities and technological features that make it totally functional for big parties.
