    Taylor-Grady House is a wonderful venue for an event. Staff is great to work with and very helpful in making suggestions and answering questions. Location is perfect. Flow throughout the rooms is ideal for guests to mix and mingle with each other. Historic house and period furnishings set the stage for an event to be remembered. I highly recommend this venue for weddings and wedding parties (as well as other social events)!

    I recently hosted a murder muster dinner at the Taylor-Grady House for 15 friends, and it was absolutely incredible! The historic charm of the house added the perfect atmosphere for our themed evening - elegant, a little mysterious, and totally unforgettable. The space was beautiful and flexible, easily accommodating our dinner setup and dramatic “crime scene” moments. Our guest were blown way by the architecture and the history, and it truly elevated the entire experience. If you’re looking for a unique venue for a private event, I can’t recommend the Taylor-Grady House enough.
