Amazing Venue with Helpful Staff

We held our high school Prom at TAM and it was magical! There were multiple spots for kids to go to (a room for food and seating, a photography room, patio, and dance floor)!! The staff was super helpful in preparing and accommodating our needs and even helped a lot on the day of the event! All the students loved the atmosphere! Thank you TAM for being amazing!
Management Response
Thank you for your kind words! Proms are so much fun and we love to be a part of this milestone in a young persons life. We hope to host you again down the road.
Have a great Summer!

We had the pleasure of working with Angie for our wedding on 4/27/25. 22 hours prior we were notified we would not be able to use our original venue the following day. In minutes Angie completely saved the day. She offered us her venue, within a couple hours we were dropping decorations, signing a contract and she walked us through our new venue. The day of, her team was amazing! They were professional, helpful and knew what they were doing! I can’t not recommend this team enough. Despite the unfortunate news the day before our wedding was more than perfect! As if it was meant to be. You’d be crazy to even consider going with anyone else to handle your venue needs!

Hi Kaeli,
Thanks to you and Dalton for entrusting us with your wedding after such a shock. We were so happy to be able to accommodate you in such short order. We have experience on our side and were able to pivot from wedding one on Saturday to wedding two (yours) on Sunday!
Warm wishes as you go forward!

We had a wonderful experience working with the TAM on our wedding, and Angie was incredibly helpful every step of the way. She was responsive, organized, and made sure all the details were covered so we could enjoy the day stress-free. Hosting a wedding in a museum is a unique opportunity, and we appreciated how she helped us get creative with the space to comfortably accommodate our 175 guest count. The event came together beautifully and went off without a hitch!

Sidney, it was such an honor to have you as my first bride at TAM. I couldn't have been luckier, as you were a dream to work with and appreciated your patience as we worked through some of the challenges of our beautiful and unique spaces.
Best of luck to you and Sid!
Angie
