Please, please, please...do not have your wedding at Taravella Manor. Only thanks to good friends &…read morefamily was I able to enjoy the last part of my reception because the majority of the reception I felt like a guest of dishonor rather than a guest of honor. I waited to write my review until after I discussed with Taravella Manor. All of the issues I addressed below were of course disputed by the general manager, Darius, who acted as though everything went off without a hitch. As a result, I have decided to write a review in hopes that others will not make the mistake I did & book their wedding at this venue. Taravella Manor boosts that they will walk you through step by step, "you just show up & we will do the rest." What a joke. It was so disorganized. My hostess would stop by tell us something & then disappear! We had no attendant for myself, my groom, his parents or my mom. He & I had to go to the bar to get our own drinks all night long. There also was no reserved table for the bride & groom or our bridal party. When asked by the mother of the groom, the staff advised there were no reserved signs in the establishment. I brought a pen for people to sign my guest book & no one could find it. The general manager insisted I didn't give it to him, which just infuriated me further. During my bridal party dance, the music stopped & we were offered no explanation as we stood on the dance floor for several minutes looking around. The DJ was terrible. He played "Strokin" for the first song of my money dance & was asked 4 times before he changed it. No one could hear any of his announcements as they were all muffled. Due to miscommunication of their staff to my photographer, we cut our cake & no one knew. When I asked the general manager, Darius, he said, well that was the cake cutting if you already took pictures. The pass around food was not served until an hour and a half before the reception was ending. By the time we were made a plate by the attendant, it was ice cold. One of the staff members kept going to the dance floor. She tried to get me to dance, but I told her several times I did not want to do a line dance. When this was addressed to Darius the general manager, he says that staff dance when asked to by guests. No one asked her! She was asking people because she wanted to dance. I have several pictures of her in my professional pictures dancing- so unprofessional. The lighting is terrible in this place, spotlights nearly blinded us when walking in & photographer had to ask us to step out of it during our first dance because it was ruining our pictures. There were candles on the table, but they were not lit and it took 4 times asking for these to be lit. The place seemed to be falling apart at the seams with neither our attendant or the general manager ever readily available to address any of these issues. As I said above, despite my frustrations, my groom & I were set on enjoying ourselves & we ignored the cacophony of disaster and set our sights on the beauty of people we loved there to celebrate with us. I wanted my grievances to be heard & I was not only placated, but moreover told I was a liar. Save yourself some frustration, pay more & go somewhere else. I could probably list 20 more complaints about this place, but I believe I have painted a good picture. Several of my family members and friends have also reviewed for my wedding on 10-11-19, echoing much of the same.

I might add that the sound system was clear from front to back. When I have another special occasion, I will return to the Ridgeway.

Matthew and Phinnie were so incredibly helpful not just day-of but throughout the entire planning process. They even helped us coordinate having our ceremony at the cute Clouet Gardens directly across the street. The space was perfect for our size wedding (about 80 people) and they provided almost everything (tables, chairs, water coolers, bar carts, etc.) and had a full kitchen we were able to use. Matthew had sent us a blueprint of the Den as well as an inventory list ahead of time which was extremely helpful when figuring out exactly what else we needed and where everything should go. It also allowed us to keep our costs down. That being said, we were also very thankful they let us stock our own bar and did not require us to use their preferred caterer like most venues do. We were able to have the kegs on the back porch, the bar stocked with our favorite spirits and the pizza stacked ceiling high - just like we had hoped! Other things we were very happy with was the amount of street parking around this area. My dad was worried about this in particular and thought we would need to hire valet but we decided not to and we had no trouble whatsoever. Also because the venue is so charming, we didn't have to do very much decorating; again, keeping the costs down. They allowed us to hire an attendant (who kept the bathrooms stocked and picked up after guests, keeping the area clean throughout the night) and a bartender through them which was very convenient. We were glad they had SONOS speakers throughout the venue, as well as on the back porch, since we worked hard on our reception playlist and was able to play it off our iPad without having to source a PA system. It goes without saying that I would high recommend the Tigermen Den for any event - big or small!

Community events are cool. But for the Tigermen Den they're at the expense of the surrounding…read moreresidents in regard to ease of access to their homes. Just this evening, my partner and I attempted to return home after a long gig day. However, our attempts were thwarted when driving down our street and we encountered cones at the intersection of Clouet and Dauphine. Seeing there was a crowd down the block, we rerouted and attempted to access our home via Royal and Louisa, but were stopped by a man with a white van who had blocked off the street. We convinced the man to move his van, stating we're residents of the block and needed to park and access our home. After encountering a line of city trashcans blocking Royal Street halfway down the block between Louisa and Clouet, we were able to safely navigate through a parting crowd, eventually making a left onto Clouet. IF the Tigerman Den had alerted residents who lived in close proximity to their venue of events and (unauthorized) street closures, this review may not have appeared on The Tigermen Yelp page. However, this is not the only infraction committed by the venue. Within the recent years, the Den has allowed cars to park too close to the intersection of Royal and Clouet streets, thus obstructing the view of both drivers and pedestrians. Our neighbors have contacted the Den via Instagram to alert the to the safety hazard presented with no avail. Having permits and official public safety personnel onsite for events like the one tonight are imperative to ensure the safety of attendees and residents. The Den ought to consider pursuing these legitimacies for future events.

This large piece of property is surrounded by lovely trees and gardens that make any event picturesque. Outside there is a seating area with a fireplace where you can take in the view. Inside there is a bar in the front and then a big room where the party happens and then there is a connected room with great light and views. On the night I was here, the entire "outside" room was illuminated and the yard area was beautifully lit. I like that the space is large enough so that you don't feel stuffed into the space. The staff was attentive and cleared everything as needed and the bartenders were fast about keeping up with the crowd. I didn't eat much, but the food I did have was good.
