ANOVER — Following the opening of Hanover Tavern’s Coach House earlier this spring, activity at the Hanover landmark has been brisk. The new educational and event center is already attracting a lot of interest, and Tavern executive director David Deal said the increased interest is welcomed. “We’ve already had six wedding receptions and a couple of business meetings,” he said. “This is going to give the Foundation a whole new source of revenue and we’re already seeing it.” A steady stream of brides, parents and industry specialists filed through the building on a recent weekend, taking full advantage of a bridal open house.

The Coach House at the Hanover Tavern is already receiving rave reviews from wedding parties who have used the new facility. An open house recently was held for prospective brides and the professionals who support those ceremonies. A steady stream of interested parties viewed the Coach House and several contracts were written. The building is multi-functional and also will enhance educational programs at the Tavern.
“We wanted to let people in the business and anyone interested in planning a wedding see what we have here, to introduce them to the new area,” Deal said.
The event resulted in more signed contracts for the facility, but Deal is ready to show the new building off to the public. The Foundation held two
of its “Tavern Live” series concerts on the landing of the new building, but the real unveiling will coincide see TAVERN, pg. 5
