The Roosevelt Room at Union Station Northampton

getting engaged, and we were immediately drawn to the unique space. It was once a fully functioning train station, and they were able to keep much of the original brick work, lamp posts, and other features. It adds a lot of character to the space, and it requires very little additional decoration. We also were drawn to the food – everyone has suffered through subpar wedding food over the course of their lives, but our meals (and the general consensus among guests) was that the food was restaurant-quality. Particularly high marks for the salmon. When we selected Union Station as our venue the following year, we couldn’t have been more impressed with the coordinator, Neil. He is professional and knowledgeable, but also has a very laid-back and approachable demeanor. Throughout the entire experience, he was accommodating and flexible. I don’t think he said “no” once to us during the entire planning process. He also had very helpful suggestions along the way, and we were confident in his advice and guidance. Neil was truly a pleasure to work with. On the day of the wedding, we were pleased to arrive at the venue and find out that decorations were already set up exactly as specified, and that all deliveries were complete and organized. We were introduced to Rob, who was at our side throughout the entirety of the reception. There was nothing he couldn’t do. He effortlessly coordinated to reserve space and usher us into Tunnel Bar for photos (after 6pm on a Friday), offered advice through the night, and helped make sure that we had a full drink (if we wanted it). There is a lot going on during your wedding, and it meant the world to have Rob and Neil available for us to lean on and ask for suggestions. They made sure that every need was taken care of. These are just a few of the many benefits of choosing Union Station. They contract with two local florists to provide the centerpieces to your specification (we were very pleased), and they even include the cake (Greggory’s was fantastic). Pricing was very reasonable, and we never felt like we were being upsold. We are so happy that we chose Union Station as the venue for our special day. (Our team of vendors for Union Station were all great on the day of: Absolute Entertainment for DJ, Brian Marsh for photography, Anya Drew for videographer, Forget Me Not for florist, Greggory’s for cake, Creative Weddings (Rev. Liz Zielinski) for officiant, and Epic Salon for hair and makeup.)

ed. He helped coordinate the flowers, wedding cake, rehearsal, meals, signature drinks, the list goes on!! Not to mention the fact that this place was all inclusive for the most part. One contact for wedding cake, flowers, food and drinks? YES PLEASE. Made my life SOOO much easier. This place needs no decor, it is so beautiful on its own and it’s in a great location. Lots of bars, restaurants, and hotels are within walking distance. The staff here was fabulous and everything was delicious. I really felt so special and important and a big part of that was due to the staff at Union station. I cannot rave enough about this venue!!! I wish I could post my photos!

Throughout the whole process they made everything extremely simple and when the big day came everything was perfect! The food was great, the staff was excellent and the place looked incredible. Again the whole team made it flawless and we could not recommend the place enough!

nice guy and very responsive and easy to communicate with. He also went above and beyond to help us make our vision come to life, and all with very little added expense. For example, we ordered a disco ball and he offered to hang it up. We also wanted to have bottles of wine on the table from Black Birch Vineyard and he ordered it for us, and we got a snowcone machine for the bar so the bartenders could make snowcone negronis for our guests. Our ceremony was at Look Park and Neil agreed to set up a lemonade stand, which was lovely and really important considering it turned out to be 95 degrees that day! The only thing I wish was different was the wedding tasting -- I wish I got to try more apps. We didn't get to try an abundance of apps and we ended up choosing some ones that I regret. I wouldn't recommend choosing the lobster on endive spear. BUT, the dinner entrees (prime rib, crab cakes, and eggplant parmesan) were delicious. All in all, a superb venue!!!

oked around extensively in the Amherst/Northampton area and eventually decided on the Union Station for our rehearsal dinner. This was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. First, Neil, the Event Director, was SO responsive even though we were only hosting our rehearsal dinner with them. We ended up selecting the premium plated dinner for approximately 30 guests. The Union Station does not currently have fee to rent their space for the dinners, which made it far more affordable than the competition. The price was right, and the food quality was phenomenal. The Union Station food lived up to all the reviews. We also did not want to do a full open bar, but Neil gave us other options that allowed us to host some of the bar tab (we had 2 bottles of wine per table). For appetizers, we had the cheese/veggie/fruit platter (guests raved about the quality of the fruit). We had passed apps of bacon wrapped dates with manchego cheese, cauliflower risotto balls, and steak on a crostini. Each app, recommended by Neil, were AMAZING. We chose to have the salmon and beef tenderloin for the main courses, as well as the pesto ravioli as our vegetarian option. I had the salmon and it was PERFECT. As a side, we chose the caramelized potato gratin and broccolini. The beef tenderloin was so perfect and cooked just right. Everyone LOVED their meals, especially us. We finished with the seasonal cheesecake (strawberry topped). Throughout our wedding and honeymoon, we kept talking about how much we loved the food at Union Station. Lastly, the room was decorated so perfectly and the staff were SUPER accommodating and took such good care of our guests. I would go out of my way to host an event here again just to eat the food.

a great time. The staff provided exceptional service seamlessly made the evening flow. The food was terrific. We chose an all vegetarian selection and they provided dishes that were full of flavor and variety. Lastly, Neil the coordinator, made everything run smoothly. They exceeded my expectations.

n't have to rush around at the end of our big night...just wow. Worth every single penny.

own server who was extremely attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our time there, he even helped me with my dress and held my bouquet a few times! Neil, the event director is awesome. Not only is he one of the most genuine people ever, he is so thorough -Neil knows his sh*t! It was an absolute pleasure working with Neil throughout the entire planning process. I think everyone expects something to go wrong on this big day, and absolutely nothing did. It was perfect. I am already trying to think of what event we can have there next. ☺️

nal to work with, as his entire staff (Gauge, Bridget and everyone in the day of action such as the chefs, servers and bartenders). To paint the best picture as to why this was truly special, we got engaged on March 15, 2020, which was just before the world shut down due to the pandemic. We were eager to try and plan as best as possible while navigating through very uncertain times. As we looked at a wide variety of venues throughout Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, nothing compared to Union Station in Northampton, MA and Neil Gadbois. In regards to the venue, the space is STUNNING. It provides a uniquely historic/vintage/timeless yet hip and trendy vibe. There is so much natural character with exposed brick, indoor street lights, a fireplace, stained glass, and more. We decided to have the ceremony at the venue in front of the fireplace and were very impressed how quickly the staff was able to transform it for the reception (145 people). The space also included a bridal/wedding party suite and a private after-party location above the famous Tunnel Bar. [We also recommend Progression Brewery as they were outstanding for our rehearsal dinner to accommodate 50+ people]. As for Neil, he is the real deal!!! He was very flexible working with us from allowing us to push our wedding date due to the pandemic from March 20, 2021 to March 19, 2022, to various accommodations over our 2-years of planning. My family is Portuguese and Neil was incredibly accommodating in allowing us to have a family-style meal, pre-set Portuguese wine on the tables, Portuguese beer, and allowed us to bring in additional desserts from Bernardino's Bakery in Chicopee, MA. Food/Drinks: We selected the Platinum Package with full open bar and would recommend all of it!!! We also did an after-party with late night food too! Food: 5 hors' devours (bacon wrapped dates, risotto balls, crab cakes, lobster stuffed mushrooms, and beef negimaki). Endive, watercrest, apple & herb salad Raspberry sorbet palette cleanser Family-style Mains: Coulotte steak with caramelized onion au gratin potatoes Rosemary lemon chicken with brussel sprouts Teriyaki salmon with rice pilaf Late night food: french fry bar and Crispy chicken & Cheeseburger sliders Desserts: We did not want a cake and Neil accommodated us with a dessert stipend. The venue has a partnership with La Fiorentina in Springfield, MA so we selected mini Italian pastries (cannoli, eclairs, creme puffs, and tiramisu too). We also were able to bring in Portuguese desserts from Bernardino's to supplement what the venue provides. Drinks: We had a specialty cocktail and the two draft selections we chose were "Lunch" by Maine Beer Company and "Ice Cream Man" by Back East Brewing. They also can make anything you want for mix drinks and had a wide variety of beer and wine too. Lastly, the venue package included centerpieces so we used "Forget Me Not" in Northampton, MA and they did a great job creating the succulents we wanted. We cannot thank Neil and the entire staff of Union Station enough for making our wedding epic, legendary, and even more magical than we could have ever imagined! Thank you!!! Brígida "Brigi" & Kevin Froling

and its staff made that happen beautifully.

tails. Union Station checked all boxes and then some. Neil, the on-site coordinator, set up the space beautifully (with truly minimal vision on my part), organized the wedding party and family, and even put together food for after the reception with hours notice. The food was incredible, and the service was top notch. Robert, who was our personal server, was always present with anything we might need, from giving me a glass of water before walking down the aisle, to fluffing out my train. We were able to plan our wedding from out of state with no issues- Neil was accessible and always put me at ease when we would connect. I could not recommend Union Station for your event more- they made our day magical!

our wedding cake, which made our planning even easier. Guests continue to comment on how beautiful the space was and how much they enjoyed the food (also provided by Union Station). We would whole-heartedly recommend this venue.

r head waiter Robert really went above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. We didn’t meet Robert prior to wedding day but he was very tuned into who he needed to check in on prior to and during the wedding. He gathered drinks for myself and the bridesmaids prior to the wedding while we waited upstairs and made sure boutonnières made it to the correct people. My husband said Robert got him some fries pre ceremony since he didn’t get a change to eat that morning. Robert even went and got us our favorite drinks from the tunnel bar to have with our wedding cake. We had quite a few bumps along the way with weather and other vendors but anything that Union Station and Neil were in charge of or helped oversee went off without a hitch. All of our guests were very impressed.

pton, Ma. We experienced a wonderful setting, great communication throughout the planning to the the event, a wonderful staff and a personal touch on all aspects of the wedding. So many details that I could mention but know that the wedding couldn’t have gone better!

riginal date due to COVID) and was always an email away when needed for any information or just words of encouragement. The day of the event everyone was professional and courteous of ours and our guests requests and comfort levels during COVID. And it goes without saying that the food was beyond incredibly. We will highly recommend Union Station to anyone looking to have events in the future ( not just a wedding). Thank you to Neil and his staff for making our wedding reception a night we will never forget!

erpieces and cake were part of the package, alleviating some of the hassle. The food was outstanding with numerous choices available on the menu. I would highly recommend visiting the Union Station if you are planning a wedding.

g industry, and that really helps put a bride and groom at ease! The Roosevelt room is unique and has its own character; you need minimal other decorations (saves $$$!). The package structure takes out a lot of the other people you'd need to contact with planning (forget trying to coordinate with a caterer and separate liquor!), and you truly get a lot for your money. The food is DELICIOUS (highly recommend the chicken piccata and potatoes au gratin), and the bar/cocktail area are spectacular. The atrium is the perfect space for a photo booth. Neil was very easy to connect with via email; he answered questions quickly and gave good, honest opinions when needed. He was extremely professional and gave you the attention you needed without taking up too much of your time. Our rehearsal and wedding day ran so smoothly and seamlessly. All of the little extras I had brought were displayed perfectly and appropriately. Everything was on time, and so many of our guests commented on the excellent service by ALL members of the team at Union Station, including food, bar, and wait staff. THANK YOU, Neil and the team at Union Station!

flexible, allowing us to rebook and honoring our original contract. Our guests all raved about the quality of food and the service as well - they covered all the big things like cooking the food perfectly and also all the little things like bringing out kids meals first. Great value for the money we paid with many of our guests saying it was one of the most fun weddings they've attended! The venue was so beautiful that we didn't need to bring any additional decorations. Their package structure makes it easy to plan a wedding and they handle all of the deliveries (flowers, cake), setup of the rooms, and staffing the bar with great bartenders and servers who watched out for us all day, making sure we had drinks and food. We also hosted brunch for our guests the next day, and again the food and service were excellent, including the build-your-own mimosa bar.

erything he could to help us find a new date, kept us up-to-date on current guidelines, and once we had a new date, guided us through planning the perfect wedding reception. On the day of the event, everything went so perfectly! He and his staff are true professionals who made our wedding day everything we’d hoped for and more! Our guests have raved about the food, the service, and the beautiful space! We cannot recommend The Roosevelt Room at Union Station highly enough.

lus our guests had so much fun!!

f Union Station for us, to fairy lights, to a French fry bar, to life-size Jenga, to specific table runners. Neil helped bring our vision to life. Also, the employees at Union Station are REMARKABLE (Jon, Chris, Elliot, Chloe, Hazel, Jenn, and Laurel)! They took such good care of us!!! We are so thankful for them. All of our guests had a fantastic time! We appreciate everyone at Union Station so much! Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make our wedding day perfect. - Jaimie & Ryan

n with lots of fun bars and multiple hotels within walking distance. Neils professionalism, service, genuine care, and people skills are second to none. He is very detail oriented and you will feel like a celebrity on your day and leading up to it. As a covid bride I saw so many stories on social media about couples getting burned by their venues and other vendors. Neil made it very clear early on Union Station was different. We didn’t lose a penny, had SEVERAL flexible options and Neil made my 20 person wedding feel like my original 100+ person wedding. Being in the business his connections are worth a fortune. My florist Heather was of equal caliber and i don’t know anyone who could have held a candle to the work she did for the wedding. Neil was on a ladder at the end of the night making sure my mother took home every single flower. I have been to several weddings were the event coordinator left before the dancing started. Another thing that sold me on this venue is it is indoors. You could have a Monsoon and not worry about charming beautiful pictures. Thankfully we also got some great outdoor shots at Smith but the weather was really looking bad leading up to the ceremony. I probably would have been in a panic if it was an outdoor venue. Food was on point. Service from Jennifer our bartender and Elliot, Neils assistant was friendly professional and fun. I probably could keep going, and if you read this far, kudos! I am so happy I chose Union Station. I will never stop singing their praises.

g us plan an incredible day. Their flexibility, professionalism and commitment were unmatched and difficult to articulate in a simple review. The team was willing to wait with us as restrictions changed daily and adapt as September arrived. Our original 150+ person festivity was not feasible but Neil and his team were able to shift us to an incredibly scenic farm a short distance from Union Station, where we had a lovely 20 person wedding reception. The owner of Union Station owns Micka Farm and while this is not generally used as a wedding venue, they were willing to accommodate us and our guests under a tent while we enjoyed the delicious food The Roosevelt Room had to offer. We couldn't have been any more fortunate to work with Neil and Union Station as they were able to (seemingly at the last minute) transition everything to an outdoor venue. They did this without having any additional stress or issues and made the whole process seamless and carefree for us. While we were initially ecstatic at the prospect of holding our Wedding Reception at Union station we could not have been more pleased to work with Neil and the team who did everything to provide us with a special day, even in these dire circumstances. My husband and I were so impressed and thrilled with our experience with Neil & Union Station that we are going to have our post-covid bash there as well in the future! Again we couldn't speak more highly or feel any more strongly about the experience we had with this team.

th Union Station during the planning process, but infinitely happier on the day-of. Neil Gadbois was wonderful to work with and we could not be happier with our wedding memories, especially considering the COVID restrictions we had to work around. 10/10 would recommend for any couples considering something intimate & memorable.

Salmon, Beef & Chicken) as were all the appetizers. The Bridal Suite was a great room and has windows that overlook the main ballroom...great way to get a view of the room from above. Neil and his staff made our wedding simply perfect and I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a very special venue for that very special day ...it also has many places to take great pictures inside and out the Tunnel Bar was our favorite Thank you to everyone at Union Station for making our wedding the Best Day Ever

do a small ceremony and reception on our original date in my aunt's backyard. Neil was nothing short of amazing. He was always very responsive to all our questions (which were quite a lot given the circumstances). He was incredibly accommodating, and even allowed us to do a second tasting when we couldn't quite decide which food choices we had wanted for our wedding day. We were so touched by how understanding he was throughout the pandemic. My now husband and I went there this past Saturday to officially "close that chapter" of our lives, and he was working that night and specifically came to our table and checked in with us multiple times, and congratulated us on our wedding that had happened the night prior. This is such a special and unique venue, and we are saddened that it couldn't be part of our wedding story but we would highly recommend this incredible venue and team to other interested brides!

and the reception at Union Station! We met Neil and his staff for the first time when we flew in for our tasting. Our head waitress was so great during the tasting, my dad specifically requested her to be there the night of our wedding! AND SHE HAPPILY WAS :) Neil was super flexible with this whole process of planning from so far away. He was always very quick to answering my questions, letting us pop in for a quick visit if we were in town and dropping off our decorations a few days early! Neil did an amazing job helping out this former teacher who sent him, yes... a 10 page file filled with screen shots of the venue, my decorations and placement of everything. For someone who likes to do all the setup herself, Neil most certainly brought my vision to life and seriously we had so many compliments with the set up.  Speaking of compliments, THE FOOD! OH MY GOSH WAS IT DELICIOUS! Everyone was raving about how great their dinners were for the next few days. Even at the tasting it was so hard to narrow down our three selections.  Overall we were beyond thrilled with our wedding night and experience with Union Station. I will HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone!

t the event. They were very easy to work with and very flexible, allowing us to add on a late night snack not far before the day of the event. Salads were on ALL the guests plates already when everyone say down after our first dance. When a table was served, the entire table was served and no one was left behind. Waitstaff were attentive and courteous and did not take drinks just because they were partially filled. The venue was of course also beautiful and there were great photo ops inside, out front, along the side walk, and also in the tunnel bar just under the venue. Between them and my DJ I didnt have to think once about the progression of events for the evening, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. The little bridal suite upstairs was perfect for a quick breather in between our ceremony in Amherst and the reception. And the food was absolutely delicious. If I could give this venue, and Corey himself, more than a five star review, I would! Thank you for making my day so amazing.

needs (e.g. wedding can go past midnight, budget friendly, unique, etc) and ended up only looking at this one venue in person. At the time, Corey was the coordinator and he gave us a great tour and talked through his vision that really sold us. A few months later, Corey moved to another state and Neil took over as coordinator, and we’re so lucky Union Station filled this position with someone just as wonderful. Neil is detail oriented, professional, and experienced. He’s very involved the day of and everything went so smoothly. The venue speaks for itself. The vaulted wooden ceilings, the big fireplace, the exposed brick. The pictures make it seem beautiful, but just wait till you see it in person!

o I had thought. Union Station Events set a whole new standard in my mind for how a wedding should be run and has set the bar higher for professionalism. Everyone was wonderful, the staff was polite, professional, and friendly. The food was FANTASTIC and the bartenders were world class. I personally found my wedding planning process to be simple, easy, stress free and I feel as if I owe it entirely to Neil. He was always quick to respond to emails, polite but still approachable and friendly. You could really tell that he cared about his job and our big day. The already beautiful Union Station Event Hall was turned into a winter wonderland for our wedding. Everything was set up for us just the way I imagined it, only better. The beautiful vintage venue still remains a constant conversation point with our guests, a month later. Everything from the light fixtures, the brickwork, to the grand archways drip with grandure and old world romance. It leaves an impression on everyone who enters. Unlike many venues these days we felt that Union Station had an authentic historical uniqueness that left all of our guests impressed. I could go on and on but to summize I cannot recommend Neil and the Union Station event team enough. I think Union Station should be the obvious choice for any Bride or Groom looking for a less stressful wedding planning process with flawless service in an unbeatable atmosphere. Thanks Neil and everyone who made out day so perfect!

uld tell he really cared about making our wedding day special. Literally up until the night before I was making changes to our reception, and Neil carried out everything I asked flawlessly. I gave him creative license to help decorate the venue for our 1920's theme with the decorations we brought in, and he did not disappoint. The venue was stunning, the food is unbelievable, and the service was extraordinary. I highly recommend this venue, and if I had to do it all again I would make the same venue choice.

hands with them. The day of coordination went smoothly and we didn’t have any hiccups or issues. The servers and bar staff were polite professional and extremely helpful. We received many compliments throughout the night and the days to follow on how good the service was and how everyone enjoyed the delicious food. We had several people with dietary restrictions and food allergies and everyone was able to eat and enjoy their meals. I cannot recommend this unique space and it’s amazing staff enough for anyone who’s looking for an amazing wedding or event.

ff transformed the room quickly and to the best standard. They put out and cleaned up all our decor and the dinner service/food was spectacular! They were also very flexible with any changes that needed to be made like quickly changing our ceremony there due to weather. They handled it like it was no problem, and it was as if it was supposed to be there all along! The entire process from Planning, the tasting, meetings, and the big day we’re all so perfect and We are beyond happy with everything and cannot thank them enough for what they did to make our day so memorable! 110% recommend them!

g was perfect! We are so happy we chose Union Station!

ul as he took the time to answer all of our questions and ensure that we received everything that we wanted in a venue, including food, decorations, unique drinks, etc. My parents actually footed the bill for the wedding, but kept saying how happy they were that we chose Union Station as it was affordable and they were able to stay within their budget. We had 93 people total at our wedding and it felt like the perfect fit - not too big and not too small. Union Station also offers vendors that they work with which is included in their package - specifically flowers and wedding cake. The vendors were wonderful and Neil did a great job communicating with them to ensure that we received everything that we wanted. Overall, I would highly recommend getting married at Union Station to any couple looking in the area. You won't be disappointed!

edding vision to life. On the day of, Corey kept our schedule moving smoothly and brought my new husband and I drinks, food, etc. He even fixed a bridesmaid’s zipper when it broke! Corey thought of every detail to make our day special. When the bridesmaids arrived at the venue from the hotel, there was a charcuterie plate and champagne waiting in the bridal suite for us. Following the ceremony, when we were waiting to be announced to the reception, there were drinks and a plate of our passed apps brought up to the bridal suite for the whole party. It was awesome and so thoughtful! The space looked absolutely incredible. While the architecture looks gorgeous on its own, Corey set our decor, up lights, and flowers in a way that brought the space to life. I heard over and over from our guests that Union Station was one of the most unique venues they had ever seen. Finally, the food was just amazing. I am usually pretty wary of wedding food, but this food was like eating at a fancy restaurant. From the synchronized serving of plates (something my parents loved) to the special attention given to a friend with food allergies, every piece of the dinner was executed perfectly. My husband and I both had the hangar steak, which was delicious and cooked to perfection. All in all, we could not be happier that we booked our wedding at Union Station. Thank you to Union Station for the best day of our lives!!

detail got past Corey and his team. Book now, stop searching - you've found your venue.

astic night. The personal touches and attentiveness Corey gave to our guests and families was so special! I would highly recommend the Roosevelt Room at Union Station for your special day!

as well as being flexible for them when they were able to make it into the area. He took care of all the details and I was able to sit back and enjoy my daughters wedding. I cannot say enough about his professionalism, and his support through the whole process! The venue was beautiful and food was great. The guest were saying how great the service was as well....butler style appetizers and drinks never ran out!!! The Bridal suite upstairs was a favorite for the wedding party! And I cannot forget to mention the fact that we had a lot of small children at the wedding and Corey's team was very helpful. You won't be disappointed choosing this venue & Corey for your Wedding!

ful throughout the whole process, especially since we brought over a whole bunch of vintage radios and posters and travel-themed stuff and he set it all up beautifully. My dad also had about a zillion questions, which Corey answered patiently. We really liked that they took care of everything, since we planned our wedding from California, and it was really nice not to have to deal with caterers, etc, but it was also cool that they contract with local vendors to do the centerpieces and cake, so it felt very personalized. We really liked the food (the cake was fantastic) and were really, really happy with Union Station. If you are set on a wedding outside, we had our ceremony outside (Amherst Golf Club) and then the reception inside, which seemed like a good compromise. Added bonus to be able to go downstairs to the Tunnel Room for after-party!

ng....guests are still telling me a month later that it was the best wedding food they have ever had! Our experience at Union a Station was perfect from the beginning. As soon as I saw it in person, the pictures don’t do it justice, I knew it was the perfect location to celebrate! I could not have been happier with the day!! Corey went above and beyond. He is amazing at his job! Thank you for such an incredible day!!

the very beginning. He kept everything running smoothly, was generous with the station/open bar policies when he didn't need to be, and personally drove my grandparents to their hotel in the rain when our shuttle service did not show up. The food was excellent and the venue was beautiful. I cannot recommend them enough. We had a wonderful time and can vouch for the fact that you'll get a great deal for the price if you have an event here. Best hidden gem for a reception in Western Mass.

hat was considered throughout the entire night. I did nothing but thoroughly enjoy the entire reception, and that is all I could have hoped for. From the very early stages of planning to the execution, Union Station was the absolute best and would recommend this location to anyone looking for a unique, beautiful and accommodating venue.

nclude floral centerpieces and a wedding cake, which we loved because we could still pick out these items according to our tastes, but didn’t have to budget for either. In addition to the aesthetics, the staff was extremely professional and easy to work with. Corey was patient, polite, and helpful each step of the way. He was always quick to respond to our questions, handled some last minute changes for us with ease, and was present throughout our entire reception making sure our guests were well taken care of. The wait staff was also exceptional. We had quite a few guests with allergies and special dietary restrictions, and everyone ended up with a meal they enjoyed. We are so thankful that we chose to have our wedding reception at Union Station!

and a work ethic unmatched from any of our other vendors. Our guests also sung his praises and the praises of Union Station. Corey also went above and beyond, running over in the rain to the bakery that forgot my cupcake to make sure I had it. If there was any issue during the reception we never learned about it. Thank you all you did to make our day so wonderful!

xperience so easy and stress free (which is exactly what a bride needs!). He was super detailed oriented, which I really appreciated. Every detail was thought of and there were no surprises; from how we would set the table, to serving the cake; everything went smoothly. Corey was also very accommodating to any requests we had and because of that our night was personalized to us. The venue looked amazing and our guests could not stop talking about how great the food was. Just perfect.

professionalism throughout the reception and my entire experience was nothing short of perfect. Even when there was a small snag with one of my vendors, Corey took over and made sure we got what we wanted. He is an amazing coordinator and are so thankful we had the privilege of working with him so that our day was as perfect as we hoped!

dible job making our Gatbsy Glam theme come true. What was especially important to me was making sure the food I was eating did not have anything I was allergic to in it. Corey and his staff made sure all of the food I was eating was safe for me, and also was conscious of my guests who had food restrictions too! It was an incredible night, I can’t thank Corey and his staff enough! Wedding planning and the night itself was a breeze!

. There was no request I made that was not accommodated. I am thrilled with the service provided. Thank you union station staff and especially Sarah for making my wedding day everything I imagined and more!

management I was a bit nervous because the previous guy was great. Let me tell you - Corey is even more amazing! In the months leading up to the wedding he was super responsive to my annoying crazy bride emails. When we had our meeting a few weeks before the wedding to finalize things he could not have been more accommodating and flexible with what we wanted. We had to change the venue or ceremony last minuet from church to Union Station and he handled it flawlessly and went above and beyond to make sure that everything was absolutely perfect. The night before the wedding I was able to drop off all of my decorations and little extras. I handed them to him with all the trust in the world and just told him to make things look pretty and he did exactly that! The day of the wedding I had several things go wrong - nothing to do with the venue at all but Corey stepped in, calmed my nerves, and made sure that me and my now husband were treated like a king and queen. He was always happy to make sure I had a glass of wine in my hand! The food was AMAZING, the servers were perfect, and our two bartenders couldn't have been better! I also want to note that I had a huge issue with one of my other vendors and Corey went out of his way after our wedding to reach out to that vendor and make things right with the situation on my behalf. I can't thank him enough for going above and beyond to make a really crappy situation a million times better. 12/10 times I would recommend Union Station - and more importantly Corey to ANYONE looking to get married.

perfectly. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the wedding was, with most saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to! From the location, to the food (which everyone raved about), to the absolutely amazing staff, I literally cannot recommend Union Station enough! Corey went so above and beyond that I don't even know where to begin! He made sure every detail for our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Corey took all the cool travel themed decor we had found and decorated the Grand Ballroom into something out of our wildest dreams. He made each of our centerpieces incredibly unique and special, and it was such a treat to be surprised and dazzled from the moment we walked into the reception. He also included details that were important to us, like having some of our favorite apple cider donuts as a late-night snack, and took them above and beyond, creating a whole display with hot cider that was absolutely gorgeous! On top of all of that, he made our weekend a breeze by going out of his way to pick up the vegan cupcakes we had ordered for some of our guests. I cannot recommend Union Station enough. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and Corey and the staff at Union Station had so much do to with that.

in constant contact and quick to answer any and all questions. His expertise and organization when we met for our final meeting allowed me to enjoy the days up to my weddding. He made sure all of the details were in place and made sure we had our dream day! The food, venue and overall service far exceede any and all expectations.

a whiskey bar for us that was a smash hit with our guests! He came up with the entire layout and even had the great suggestion of adding a cigar bar to accompany it. Our guests absolutely loved it and it made the wedding theme really come together nicely! Union Station also provided the BEST food I have ever had at a wedding or any other type of banquet function. The portions were generous and soo delicious, our guests could not stop raving about the passed hors' devours and dinner!

ing, we act on it!) Everything from the first meeting to the food tasting to the final meeting was phenomenal and you could tell that they're only priority was to make our wedding everything we wanted it to be. About two months before our wedding, our Coordinator emailed saying he was leaving (IMAGINE MY PANIC) but we were being left in good hands. To say that he told the truth is an understatement. I could not have dreamed of having my wedding in the hands of someone better. At our final meeting I asked what time on Friday we could get into the ballroom to set up. He responded with 'what do you need to set up? That is my job, you do not need to worry about that.' Anyone who knows me knows that I am an absolute control freak but I was beyond willing to leave everything to Corey because I knew he was the best of the best. From calling all our vendors to coordinate timelines, to specialty cocktail signs, to taking our Tiffany's champagne glasses to safety after our toast and even covering our meals so they would stay hot while we socialized, Corey and his staff went above and beyond. I would and have recommended them to anyone I know is getting married. Our day was perfect and a large part of that was because of the coordination and professionalism of Corey and everyone else at Union Station.

mass and found an article about a newly renovated venue in Northampton. We checked it out with my parents and the space itself blew us away! It offered so much more than a traditional ballroom. Corey took over 3 months before our wedding and nailed it! We had A LOT of requests and he never said "no" to them! Corey was in contact with all of our vendors which was a relief for me ! He offered to meet as many times as it took to ensure we felt comfortable with him understanding our vision. He went above and beyond for us including picking up vegan cupcakes for our dairy free guests. Corey has big plans for the future of Union Station and I'm so excited to see where he takes the venue! Shout out to Chef Tom and Gabriel the bartender! Chef Tom put together an amazing Asian Station! Everything was delicious and so well presented! Those crab rangoon.... I could eat those every day, all day! Gabriel remembered our guests names and orders. Throughout the night people kept mentioning his name and I knew we didn't have a guest by that name! My bridesmaids pulled me over to take a pic with him! Choosing Union Station was the best decision! We had our ceremony at Wistariahurst, there is a park nearby (Look Park) for pictures, the town of Northampton is adorable and our guests enjoyed the different activities in Northampton between our ceremony and reception. Hotel Northampton is a great spot for getting ready pictures and to host a brunch. Picking Union Station meant a lot more than just picking a venue. We picked a wedding weekend town. The experiences we had going through the planning process in that area and the details that all came together were exactly as we had envisioned our wedding reception! We would choose Union Station again in a heartbeat!

Corey was very accommodating and helpful. We brought in a lot of personalized decorations, which were carried out beautifully. The place is affordable, the food is exceptional, and the service was fantastic. The tunnel bar afterwards was also a unique way to end the night. All in all we had an amazing day.

n!

ng. The staff were wonderful to work with. Corey, the special events manager, was so attentive and seemed to really care about the details. He was quick to respond to my countless emails and I felt confident everything would go as planned with Corey and his wonderful staff at the helm. The tables were set exactly as I had envisioned them. The food was amazing, which all of our guests keep telling us. The bridal room was set up with champagne and the food we were serving at the cocktail hour, which was a wonderful surprise. The staff was patient and understanding when our guests insisted that the party continue even after we turned the lights on. Also, it was a total plus they were able to serve our favorite local beer (Abandoned Building). We had such a perfect evening thanks to Union Station and we cannot recommend this venue enough!

coordinator Steve- but when we met for our appointment weeks before our wedding- we met someone new: Corey.. Corey and Steve told us that Steve was leaving and that Corey would be taking over. Well only a few weeks before our wedding there was a slight panic that took over due to the changing of hands so close to our wedding. Corey exceeded my expectations for amazingness!!! He took the vision i had and ran with it! I honestly think that it was a blessing that Corey stepped in at that time! Every little detail I told him I wanted- he did it. My biggest concern was for our introductions.. I had heard that when the wedding party and bride and groom were introduced that they stood in the doorway and then exited the room the left and walked around the outter room and then popped back in to the Grand Ballroom to the dance floor. I explained my concern to Corey and Corey rearranged the seating chart so that my bridal party and me and my husband walked through the crowd to the dance floor! Corey really is amazing at what he does- and I would recommend him and Union Station to everyone getting married!!

high chance of rain. Corey came to the rescue with ease. When I called him with my concern, with no hesitation he told me not to worry and that he would make it work and hold our ceremony at Union Station if it did rain (which it did) Not only did he set up the space beautifully for a ceremony but he went the extra mile. He contacted the tent rental company FOR ME and asked them to credit what I had paid for chairs and other extras and instead rent me drapery to block off the dance floor to create a separate space. He did this the DAY BEFORE my wedding when I made the final decision. That was such a relief and really reduced my stress level by not having to do that myself and it save me money. Prior to the actual wedding I had given Corey a list of people with dietary restrictions. Not only did he and the staff make sure they accommodated everyone he went the extra mile to contact a few guests who had more serious allergies. Those guests were so impressed and touched that he had taken the time to call them as they had never had that experience before. He also collected the card box for me and put it under our sweetheart table to insure it's safety. My husband and I fell in love with the space since it was not only beautiful but we had spent time at the Tunnel Bar (which used to connect with the station) when we started dating in college. It really made it feel full circle to us. Corey did us a wonderful kindness and asked the Tunnel Bar to allow us to take some photographs there before the ceremony (we chose take pictures first) It was a sweet bonus to have the opportunity to do so. I HIGHLY recommend Union Saturn Banquets for your wedding. Not only will you be in a beautiful and untraditional space but you I'll have the best customer service experience you could ask for. I hope you have taken the time to r ad this review as it is quite long but I knew I needed to leave the best review possible. Thank you again Corey and The staff at a union Station. My wedding turned out even BETTER than my original plan!

but overall Steve was amazing. We had very specific directions for table settings and many details to coordinate and the staff did a great job.

ere cocktail hour was held is just as beautiful, the bridal suite was perfect to lounge before the reception and get a few minutes away with my new husband. The staff from the waiters to the bartenders and everyone in between was absolutely fantastic, super helpful and pleasant! The best part of our whole experience though was our coordinator Steve, he made the entire experience so pleasant and simple. My husband and I actually live across the country and had to plan everything via email and phone calls and Steve was amazing. He was super accommodating to all of our needs and really listened and cared. The big day went off perfectly with all his help! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone for their wedding or any other event!

le, not pushy at all, very relaxed, and genuinely cared about our wants and needs for our big day. Steve was so responsive throughout the process and offered his expertise and advice when asked. He answered all of our questions, most times in less than 24 hours. The day before the wedding, he and Alice were there as staple pieces to guide us through everything. Now of course we were strangers before this, but the day before he wedding when I was dropping off finishing touches, he opened his arms and I flew into them. They both were so warm and sincerely cared about the day. The day before the wedding, Steve even scheduled us with a photobooth company because we had waited until the last minute. We had a dedicated server, Corey, who was excellent from the moment we arrived to the last minute making sure my husband and I had everything we needed. All of our guests raved about the food and the service. All in all it was the PERFECT evening. Everyone was congratulating me on organizing such a wonderful event, but it was Union Station, their staff, and their carefully selected vendors that made the day. Thank you so much Union Station, I will replay this night for the rest of my life. Thank you for making it perfect!

nd of all, the event coordinator is a true professional with a great deal of experience. He was helpful, informative, and responsive, and we never felt like we were being sold-to. I attribute much of the day's success to him. Once decided, planning the actual wedding details was really easy, again, thanks to their coordinator's experience. They held a group tasting, and we got to taste everything! He also made time to meet with us a few weeks before the wedding to help us figure out how the day should flow (we had both our ceremony and reception in their ballroom), and worked with all of our other vendors to coordinate deliveries, etc. Anytime I had a question, he responded quickly. The day of, he was there to make sure everything went according to plan. The food was amazing, the wait staff were friendly and helpful, and everything went smoothly. It was the best day in a beautiful setting, and we couldn't be happier with our choice.

25 people, and the flexibility with personal touches was appreciated. In addition to our dinner, we had our guests meet us at Tunnel Bar and Platform Bar for a Meet & Greet. Our guests enjoyed seeing the space and visiting the Tunnel Bar (many who were from out of town). Thank you, Steve & Team, for making it a great evening!

d the Tunnel Bar. We thought we had an idea of how great it would look, but on the big day the staff and venue exceeded our expectations and it truly looked, felt and was better than we had imagined. Steve was wonderful and very accessible throughout the year of our wedding plans. He helped everything be an easy decision while providing great advice. The food was amazing, the staff was friendly and all of our guests felt taken care of. When you see the venue, it speaks for itself and we were able to make a wedding package with 110 guests be very reasonable for our budget compared to other area venues. I can't say enough about how happy we were with our experience. Thank you, Union Station!

en saved by getting married on a Friday.

wered all of my questions and concerns in a timely manner. I planned my entire wedding out of state, and Steve completely put my mind at ease, and I didn't have to worry about a thing. He mailed me all of the info including linen samples, and was willing to work with my mother and mother-in-law who live in the area. I came into town briefly, and Steve made sure I was able to squeeze in a food tasting. The food there is incredible! Anyone can make a tasting for 6 people good, but the real test is serving 125+. All our guests raved about their meals and service. The food was delicious, hot, and no one waited for food once we were done with our first dance. Our server was very attentive, and we never were without food or a drink. The bar is larger than most others I've seen, and our guests never had to wait for a drink (we did have open bar, so it was quite busy)! What I liked best, is it is pretty much a one stop shop with their wedding packages. I didn't have to worry about finding vendors for the center pieces, cake, linens, etc. This was so beneficial especially being an out of town bride. I did have two additional vendors for a candy bar and photo booth, and Steve made sure everyone had access to the venue to be able to set up prior. Another bonus is you will be the only wedding there, and not have to share the venue unlike other places. I cannot say enough good things about Union Station, and would definitely recommend!
