A Night to Remember at the Boiler Room!
My birthday party was absolutely amazing! We dressed as flappers and fully embraced the roaring '20s theme—it truly felt like stepping back ...
in time. The speakeasy vibes in the Boiler Room set the perfect mood, making the evening feel both glamorous and intimate.
The staff went above and beyond, making us feel welcomed and taken care of all night. The food? Absolutely delicious—every dish was a hit!
Whether you're planning a romantic date night or a special celebration, this local gem is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

My husband surprised me with the most thoughtful gift for our 20th anniversary: a vow renewal ceremony at Hotel Petersburg. While I wasn’t involved in the planning, I know from him...
—and from the seamless experience I had—that the staff was incredibly gracious, attentive, and helpful every step of the way.
Our ceremony was held in the hotel’s courtyard, just off Shirley’s. The chairs were beautifully arranged so I could walk from the restaurant down the courtyard stairs, where my husband stood waiting. It was intimate, romantic, and absolutely perfect.
The day unfolded effortlessly thanks to the staff’s coordination—from cocktails on the rooftop to a delicious dinner back in the courtyard, and then an unforgettable afterparty in the Boiler Room. Our guests stayed overnight with us, and everyone raved about the beauty and comfort of their rooms.
If you're looking for a wedding venue that feels both elevated and deeply personal, I can’t recommend Hotel Petersburg enough. The setting is stunning, the experience was flawless, and the ability to host everything in one place made it all the more magical.
