Provider for Tinker House Weddings

For weddings on the second floor, many couples use Provider for cocktail hour while the main room flips from ceremony to reception, or as a quiet place for family and VIPs to slip away later in the evening.

Provider Café can be added to your Tinker House wedding as a dedicated cocktail-hour and lounge space. This add-on includes private use of the bar, indoor seating, and patio access during your reserved time.

If you are considering adding Provider to your wedding day, our team can walk you through sample timelines, guest flow, and how the bar program works across both floors. The following rates apply when adding Provider Café to your wedding rental:
