Cheers from Our Guests

"We rented The Abbey Room, Trappeze’s private event space, for our son’s rehearsal dinner this weekend and really had an outstanding time. Very professional and personable. They continually checked in with me to see if we needed anything and adjusted willingly. The food was excellent. We had several people comment on how great the food tasted. We chose a seated dinner menu for our 30ish, but they also offer a couple of buffet options. I highly recommend The Abbey Room!"
