When I finally came across The Society Room, I had been searching for a venue for months with no luck for the time of year we wanted within our budget, nor could I find one that didn't require every morsel of my being and energy into bringing *everything* to their venue and coordinating it all. I'm not a party planner and I work long, stressful hours so it was really daunting to go "okay, let's plan a wedding!" I was ready to just throw it all away and tell my now husband that we were eloping to CO. lol Then enters The Society Room. From the moment I messaged to inquire about their space, they were quick to respond and actually provided me with the information I was looking for instead of wasting my time trying to arrange a phone call. We were extremely curious about the venue so we scheduled a tour. We were met by the owner, Jim, who is very friendly and honest. He showed us around his lovely space while explaining to us who they are and what they do. When we sat down to discuss numbers, he had a very upfront packet about what we can expect to get for the money we'd pay and he reassured us that the price we see IS the price and that there were no hidden fees which was amazing because all the other venues we had toured had hidden fees and add-ons that we didn't have a choice to decline. And can I say, (I know this is subjective, "affordable" is going to mean something different for everyone) this venue was so affordable! The value that you get for the price you pay is unmatched anywhere in the Northeast (trust me, I LOOKED EVERYWHERE). Linda was amazing to communicate with throughout the whole process, Jo Anna and our day-of attendant were amazing as well! Jo Anna had to hand my father our ring box while we were going down the aisle because our ring barer had handed it to her and I didn't even notice, she was so slick. Everyone at The Society Room was incredible, very attentive and on top of everything. My husband and I didn't have to ask for anything, our attendant was right on top of it, we always had food or a drink. Honestly, they are so far above any other venue that I've ever been to. You can tell that everyone that works there LOVES what they do, it's reflected in their care and efficiency in making your perfect day come true. We had an absolute BLAST and the FOOD is AMAZING!! I wish I wasn't so anxious day-of (good nerves!) so I could have eaten more. lol I'll be thinking about this food for forever. Our guests had an amazing time and they did everything we asked for, who could ask for more than that? If you can book The Society Room, do it. You won't regret it. Thank you all immensely for making our day come true (photos by Kimberly Norrod Photography).
The Society Room was a dream to work with. Every time I came back to visit I was struck with just how beautiful it is. It was really important for me when picking a venue to pick a place I felt like I didn’t need to spend thousands on decorating and could enjoy the venue raw if I wanted to, and society room did just that.
They were so knowledgeable and were able to keep us on track throughout the planning experience. The team was all star for the day of. They were extremely attentive, made sure my fiance and I were getting food and always had a drink in our hands. They were really flexible and kept me stress free the entire day.
The food was fantastic I got so many compliments on it and from particular eaters. A star moment was that our guests who like rare steaks were given their tender cuts and nothing was over cooked.
We had a Thursday wedding as we are mixed cultures and had an extended wedding weekend. But I would absolutely recommend Society Room to any money conscious couple wanting to deliver top tier experience.
We got married at the Society Room on 11/2/24 and everything about this venue was perfect! Linda, Jake, and Judy were phenomenal to work with through the entire process. They worked so hard to make our vision and dream a reality. The space, service, and food were all top notch and our guests are still raving about the night! We give everything about the society room 5 stars!!
Any questions?
The Society Room is absolutely phenomenal! It is an absolutely gorgeous place and it fit my Phantom of the Opera themed/Masquerade ball wedding perfectly. The staff was amazing and kept everything on track. My bridal attendant was awesome and always made sure I was on track, had something to drink, and made sure I sat down to eat. She was very attentive and even helped me out with my secret performance. The food was top notch! Everything was delicious! It was hard to pick the hor'dourves and menu because everything was just so good! I don't personally drink alcohol but my guests said the alcohol was exquisite👌. The night went perfectly and I didn't want it to end. I had the most Epic wedding night there and all my guests are still raving about it. Everyone said it was the best wedding they've ever been to and nothing will top it.
We got married there this past Friday 10/11/2024 everything was amazing! Linda was amazing throughout our whole wedding planning process, our wedding coordinators made sure everything ran smoothly the day of, and our wedding attendant day of was amazing! We had so many guests tell us it was the best meals they’ve ever had at a wedding. Our cake by Donna was beautiful and delicious! We are truly so thankful for all of the staff at the society room you guys made our wedding day more magical than I ever could have imagined.
The beauty of this venue is top tier and unmatched. The coordinators are fantastic and work with you on every detail. Chris, Linda, Judy, and Jim (to name a few) are amazing people and you can tell they care about your wants, their business, and making sure your overall experience is exactly what you want. I am so happy that we were able to have our wedding at this wonderful venue. It gave the vibes I was looking for: elegance and warmth and sophistication! I would host all my events here if I could!
I am a lucky groom’s mom…love my DIL and her family, and was asked to be involved in the process of choosing the wedding venue, planning the event and many aspects of the entire wedding weekend. From the minute we all walked into the Society Room it was clear this was a special place, very distinct from the others we’d looked at. Our bride-to-be knew immediately that this was the place! Gorgeous old-world setting, elegant and beautiful with all kinds of special touches achieved through lighting, that staircase, and special details. Nothing stodgy or snobby, just beauty!
We attended the meal tasting several months prior to the wedding so knew we were getting amazing food — it lived up to its billing on the big day. Drinks, appetizers, main meal were all delicious and served professionally. The staff was fantastic to work with throughout — although the bride’s mom was absolutely the point person here. My daughter and and I needed to get into the venue on the wedding day to set up flowers on the tables and Linda (and others) were incredibly helpful, opening the back room to us and offering us anything we needed to meet our needs.
Can’t say enough about this venue and the wedding they helped us provide. Definite 5 stars!
The Society Room provided us with the wedding of our dreams. From the moment we walked in and met with Jim to tour the venue we instantly knew this was our venue. Jim was so nice and down to earth. One of the things we loved is there was no hidden fees or complicated math that needed to be done. It was a per person fee and then items you could add on if you wanted to! Linda was a pleasure to work with during the entire process. She was very helpful and always quick to respond. My husband and I were able to enjoy every moment of our special day and not worry about a single thing! The level of detail the collect is outstanding and they make it so easy for you! Judi is a miracle worker and makes sure your wedding goes off without a hitch. Rehearsal was quick and easy and the bridal party understood the process. Jonna will be your new best friend for the night. She is so kind and helpful. She checks on you often to see if you need a drink. She even brought us water while we were outside taking photos! The food is absolutely amazing!! Our guests are still talking about all the appetizers and the entrees. The champagne is out of this world! We added on the champagne tower and it was a great touch to cocktail hour. We used their table numbers and floating candle centerpieces, they were beautiful! They pack everything up for you at the end of the night and all you need to do is load it in your car! My husband and I can confidently say not a single thing went wrong at our wedding and there is nothing we would have done differently. The bridal suite is gorgeous!! And the grooms cottage is very cool. I can’t say enough good things about The Society Room. Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams and a night our guests and us will never forget.
The Society room is one of Hartford CT’s hidden gems. My husband and I came across this venue and the moment we entered the building we knew this place would be perfect to have our wedding. from the designs on the ceiling to the curtains on the window, everything was just perfect and we knew this would fit the vibe for our wedding. The food was absolutely amazing. All of our guest were happy with the service . The staff was amazing from the start of the process to the end. We can’t begin to express how happy we are that we decided to get married at this place. They made the planning process so easy they were very helpful and accommodating. everything was great we would definitely recommend this place for your special day!!!

Hi Aisha!
Thank-you for taking the time to give us a review and we greatly appreciate your compliments. We have such an awesome staff from our sales team to our culinary and operations teams. They are passionate and professional which is a rare...
combination. We wish you all the best!

As a wedding coordinator for a different venue I may have had higher expectations than most. There were good and not so great.
Let's start with the con's:
1) You book with one person(sales), you detail with another and they then pass you off to operations - it does not matter how detailed you are there is going to be a few things missed when there are that many people involved. The worst part was they were not on the same page when it came to the contract. I would suggest making sure they add dates to their contract instead of the number of days.
2) the food at the tasting was better than the wedding. I am sure I am the only one to notice. However the food was still good!
3) We were allowed to bring in our own beer - however they had an issue on their end with the gas being off and were hesitant to allow the brewery who brewed the beer we brought in to help them. They tried to pass off another beer as our beer - and that other beer was NOT good. We had a lot of craft beer drinkers at our wedding.
4) rehearsal was very rushed and they did not pay attention to the specific details I wanted (my ceremony entrance was not how I requested) - it was an after thought for them since they had a Friday wedding and wanted us out of the venue even though they scheduled us for 30 minutes and we were only there for 20 minutes.
Pros:
1) The venue is stunning from the minute you walk in and your guests will love everything about it.
2) The hourly staff (servers, bridal attendant, bartenders) were the nicest and very attentive not just to us, but to our guests and to the other vendors
3) The value is there. I loved that so much was included in the per person price
4) I loved everything in one place! And having the Mezzanine for cocktail hour made it so it felt like you weren't stuck in one room
5) I'll say it one more time the venue is the selling factor! If you want people to be wow'd and not need to do a ton of decorating this is place for you.
In the end they did make up for a few of their mistakes and I would get married there all over again.

Hi Kasse,
We love getting reviews but especially from folks in the hospitality industry!
Thank-you for your constructive critiques as it helps us continue to improve our service. We appreciate your compliments to our staff and venue. We are ve...
ry proud of our culinary and service teams. We wish you all the best and hope to see you again!
There were times during the planning process that I doubted our decision to book The Society Room. The food at the tasting was good but didn't wow me and sometimes communication was more difficult than I would have hoped. That said, they absolutely delivered in ten fold on our wedding day! I was truly blown away at how smoothly everything ran. Our bridal attendant was amazing and checked in on us frequently throughout the night to ensure we had everything we needed. She even had our dinners saved and heated up to eat later when we decided we were ready to step away from dancing (too nervous to eat earlier!) The food was amazing- we got so many compliments from our guest. The bartenders were so much fun- some of our friends are still telling stories about what a good time the staff were. The venue itself was so beautiful and absolutely had the wow factor we were hoping for.

Our wedding here was an absolute dream! The team is wonderful to work with and true professionals. They put us at such ease during both the planning and leading up to the day. The food is amazing and the location is spectacular! All our guests could not stop commenting on how gorgeous the space is. The team working with you on the day made everything wonderful where we were able to enjoy our day and not have to worry about the details.
The Society Room, managed by the incredible team of Chris, Linda, Jake, Judi-Ann, Joe, and Jonna, was an absolute dream – beautiful, unique, and a huge hit with all our guests (especially the out of town folks from Miami!) Their professionalism and guidance made the entire process smooth sailing for my husband and me. The food was a big hit and absolutely delicious! Even when we ran behind schedule on the big day, Joe and Jonna were there to ensure everything flowed seamlessly. We're eternally grateful to them for creating such a beautiful and unforgettable day for us.
Absolutely superb, from top to bottom, wedding venue. We had a March wedding at the Society Room, including an on-site ceremony. The venue itself is gorgeous, so unique, and the team does a fantastic job of utilizing all of its assets for a truly special event.
The food and drink is unmatched; our guests are still telling us, a month later, how blown away they were by the cocktail hour and dinner. We had an excellent experience with all planning and execution staff; every person we came into contact with was knowledgeable, attentive, creative, flexible, and truly invested in our needs.
We chose not to hire a separate wedding planner or day-of-coordinator, and because of the excellence of the planning staff and day-of-attendants, we had no regrets about this choice. There is a day-of-attendant assigned to the couple, and the planning staff communicate directly with all of your vendors (florist, officiant, band, etc.) in the immediate weeks leading up, which was enormously helpful. The ability to save money by not hiring a planner was a huge asset to choosing this venue.
There is ample parking directly beside the venue and several hotels within blocks of the venue, which accommodated out-of-town guests very easily. Look no further than the Society Room for a fabulous downtown Hartford wedding.
Absolute Perfection!!!
Had our wedding there 3/8/2024… I had the time of my life!!! The food was phenomenal… the venue was gorgeous!! Joanna the bridal assistant did not leave my side and got us whatever we needed. It’s been a solid week and I’m still getting calls about the food and venue. I’ve been to weddings where you have to hunt for bites at cocktail hour, not here!! Such an abundance fresh, great tasting food that no one will be hungry.. top tier service.. loved everything…. Wish I could get married twice just so I can have another ceremony there!!! Thank you Society room for a top notch experience… do not hesitate to book this venue. You will not be disappointed… also the wedding cake is included & a night at the Marriott, it was throughly the BEAT NIGHT OF MY LIFE.
The entire team at The Society Room was so professional, kind and helpful. The venue is stunning and so well kept. The food was amazing - people are still raving about it over a month later. We cannot say enough good things about the venue, staff and food/drinks. We would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone!
The Society Room was amazing from the initial planning stages right up and through our wedding day. The venue itself was stunning but the staff made everything flow so smoothly and they nailed every detail. The food was fantastic we heard about it for weeks later. It was a perfect wedding day we can't recommend them enough.
There aren't enough characters to describe how amazing The Society room team, venue, food, staff, and everything in between is. This is a dream venue. They have so many protocols in place that make the planning process SO seamless and truly enjoyable! Chris and Linda helped us tremendously, as did the many other staff members that helped us the entire way. Our families and friends could not speak more highly of every detail. And most of our loved ones have worked in MANY restaurants...some even run their own. EVERYONE was impressed. The food was literally insane. So perfect. WOAH. THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR THOSE IN CT OR BEYOND! WELL WORTH IT. The VAULT!? They have a vault in their venue. The aesthetic alone is so grand and gorgeous. The fact there there is a balcony and multiple rooms that you guests can roam through was also the biggest plus. Everyone has such a fun time exploring and having all that space to have the best time. Like I said, I could go on! Thank you Society Room!
We are so happy with our experience at the Society Room! The space is so unique and was particularly warm and stunning for a winter wedding. The staff is very professional and incredibly organized. I felt confident leading into the evening that everything was going to run smoothly. On the day of the wedding I was really able to enjoy and not focus on the details because I knew they were taken care of. Food was delicious and service was impeccable. A real show stopper!
The best wedding venue ever!! We looked at a couple venues but as soon as we walked in and I saw the staircase and complete atmosphere of the venue, I knew we found the one! Everyone you work with is super helpful, they want your day to go as smooth as you do and they do all they can to make that happen. The day of bridal attendant was AMAZING. All our guests raved about the venue and food and continue to even after the wedding. HIGHLY recommend!
The most beautiful wedding venue ever !! Just ask any of our guests! They were blown away!!! Food was amazing too!!
Our wedding was exactly what we hoped for :) The communication, meetings and tasting leading up to the wedding made everything stress free and smooth. The staff we dealt with throughout, especially our day-of coordinators, were all exceptional to work with. The venue is stunning, the food is delicious and the staff was flexible to some unique requests we had. I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding here. They gave us the perfect day with truly NO issues.
We booked our wedding at the society room very last minute (~6 months out), and I’m so happy we decided to have it there. The venue is so unique and really beautiful. All of our guests loved the passed appetizers and the raw bar. They accommodated us bringing in specific wine and beer we wanted to add to the package, and worked really closely with us on changing our seating plans after several last minute covid cancellations. The service was really great the day of, and Paula was fantastic to work with in the weeks before.
My husband and I got married at The Society Room in July of 2023 and we had an incredible experience from start to finish. From the moment I saw pictures online I knew this was the place I wanted to get married. Our wedding sales manager Chris Burns was excellent to work with, he was quick to respond to all my questions and helped us to plan all the little details of our evening. Everything we ate at Society Room was superb, our guests raved about their meals and the endless supply of appetizers that were provided, we especially recommend the Mac & Cheese bar, it was a hit! Society room wedding packages give you the most bang for your buck, there are not many venues of this class that offer so much in their package. The service during the reception is unparalleled from anything I have experienced as a guest at other venues. They start dinner service quickly after everyone is seated, we had 250 guests and everyone’s food was hot and we had no complaints about meal mix ups. I was impressed how quickly they got everyone served so we could start the dance party! Our personal wedding attendant from July 3, 2023 deserves a raise, I forgot her name, but she made sure there was a drink in my hand all night and we received our own app sampler plate so we could relax for a minute after our ceremony! She also seamlessly handled all the bridal suite entry requests all night! Society Room includes your cake as well, we chose Creative Cakes by Donna for our cake, it was beautifully delicious strawberry shortcake- highly recommend! Overall we had the best experience and I would recommend The Society Room to anyone who is getting married in Hartford! *** Photo Credit- Carla Ten Eyck Photography, Hartford CT***
From the moment we walked into the ballroom, we knew we wanted to have our big day take place at the Society Room. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, between the ballroom, the bridal suite and groomsmen cottage, and of course the vault. The detail in all of the rooms is amazing and makes for an incredible atmosphere for a wedding.
The staff was also incredible to work with. They were very organized, and the whole process was a pleasure from start to finish. The planning phase was smooth, with all of our questions answered quickly along the way. The food was great, and they had plenty of options during the tasting that we could choose from for our wedding day.
When the day was finally here, we couldn’t have asked for a better operations team to make sure everything went smoothly. With so many details to worry about, it was great to be able to be confident in the team handling those details for us, so that we only had to get there and do our best to hold in our happy tears. All of our guests were blown away by the venue, and we would absolutely recommend the Society Room for any couples looking to have a wedding in Connecticut!
The society room of Hartford is a fantastic place to have a wedding! My guest loved the food and the service; they're pricey but 100% worth it. I'd rebook this venue, and did I say it's a photographer and videographer's dream place to shoot?
Recently had our Wedding here and this Place is amazing! From the first time we visited to do a walkthrough, to the end of our wedding evening, the Team and staff were on point every step of the way. The aesthetic of the place is gorgeous in itself but it's food offerings and presentation just add that much more. I will admit Hartford was not on my list of places to look at for our Wedding Venue, but I feel no matter where you are looking you should at the least do a walkthrough and give this place consideration.
So incredibly happy with the Society Room. If you’re looking for a place that decorates itself and a unique wedding venue this is the place. Food was phenomenal, all the staff were super helpful and the venue was gorgeous 🏳️🌈
I cannot recommend this venue enough! The Society Room and their entire team helped me bring dream wedding to life every step of the way! The staff was extremely helpful during the planning process and always went above and beyond to assist with my requests. On the day of, the team that was at the venue could not have been any better! The ensured that every single one of our guests were satisfied and that we, as the Bride and Groom were truly catered to! I never went without a drink in my hand or food in my mouth the day of the wedding! As a very type A bride, they helped move my day long perfectly on time, down to the minute! Additionally, as someone who brought in an abundance of decor, with very specific placement requests for everything, they absolutely NAILED IT! Everything was where it was supposed to be and I could not have done it better myself. Additionally, they packed everything up exactly as it came!
The food deserves its own review! Many of my guests said they felt as though they went to a five star restaurant for dinner rather than "Just another wedding venue". It was truly delicious! They were also wonderful with adding a few things that we wanted that weren't necessarily on the menu.
This entire venue was a dream come true, but the icing on the cake for it all was getting to watch my groom, family and bridal party come down the aisle for the ceremony from the second story, while I waited to come down the steps. What other bride can say she got to watch her entire processional!? It was truly so special!
Society Room of Hartford is fantastic! As a bride they make hosting your wedding there so easy and are a one stop shop for all elements of the day. Their whole team runs professionally and smoothly and provides tons of support if there are any questions that come up in the planning process. It is a truly breathtaking setting!
The Society Room was amazing from start to finish! They helped make our special day come to life and we are forever grateful for that. The food, the service, and the overall aesthetic of the venue was perfect. I would recommend this place to any newly engaged couple looking for a venue that provides it all and has that black tie magical appearance.
The Society Room of Hartford helped me have my dream wedding! My guests raved about how fabulous everything was! All the staff was excellent, sending timed emails with important information prior to the big day, keeping you on track with the timeline which took away so much stress. The package deal of the wedding having almost everything included was so easy and took away the stress of multiple vendors. Food, drink, and decor was so classy, I have nothing poor to say about this wonderful venue, definitely 5/5 stars. Everyone to my salesperson Kelley, to Paula and Melissa who I spoke with often were so quick to get back to you with any question or concern, making you feel like you are the only bride when you know they are juggling multiple other events and weddings! The day of coordinators Mel and Des were incredibly sweet and helpful, keeping everyone on track! If you’re looking for an intimate venue worth your money, look no further! The first and only venue I looked at because it was everything I ever wanted!
We held our wedding reception at the Society Room in August 2022. They made the process so easy, guiding us to make decisions when needed, and removing the stress from the planning. The evening was wonderful. The space is beautiful and the staff anticipated any needs and served everyone well. The food was delicious and our friends and family are still complimenting us on the wonderful evening. Cannot recommend the Society Room and their staff enough!
This venue is absolutely beautiful, and we got so many compliments! The pictures out on Pratt Street were perfect, and the vault was a big hit. The bride (myself) entering down the spiral staircase for the ceremony made everyone tear up, and the bride and groom entering from the stairs for the reception made for perfect pictures. The staff were so helpful and the food was amazing!! Easiest choice we made.
Our DREAM day! We cannot say enough good things about The Society Room!
From the moment we stepped inside during our tour, we knew this was the place we would be married. The venue is just stunning and unlike anything else around. From the very beginning, Melissa and Paula were a dream to work with. So incredibly responsive to emails and questions; I never felt like I was bothering them at all. They coordinated so well with our vendors, it was one less thing for us to stress about during the planning process. Everything leading up to the wedding day was easy and seamless.
The actual wedding day was just perfect. The food was INCREDIBLE. Our guests raved about it that night, and still are. Jonna was a true angel and took care of my husband and I all night, keeping our plates and drinks full and making sure we were happy, which we were!
If you are looking for a beautiful, unique, incredible space with delicious food and the best service around, definitely book here. You will not be disappointed!
Fantastic place to have a wedding! Our guests were raving about the architecture, the atmosphere, the quality of the food, and the excellent service. When planning the wedding everyone was very professional, and responded quickly to any emails or questions that we had!
We fell in love with the Society Room from the moment we stepped foot inside. It is such a stunning venue. The staff were helpful throughout the planning process, answering all of our questions and concerns. The wedding day itself was amazing. Everything looked great, the food tasted delicious, and the staff and attendant were great. My only concern was the staffing of the bar during the cocktail hour. We had about 160 guests and the bar had a constant line with only one bartender at the bar at some points while the other was busy restocking and such. But after that, the bar was perfectly fine for the remainder of the reception. Overall, everything was great and it was an incredible day!
The wedding planning process can be stressful, especially in the midst of Covid. But my husband and I are so thankful that we made the decision to have both our ceremony and reception held at The Society Room. The entire process was seamless and the communication from Paula and Melissa was excellent. Not only that, you can tell that the entire staff cares about what they do and want the couple to be able to actually enjoy this momentous day in their lives. The location is perfect for out of town guests as well to get from the airport to hotels close by and to be within walking distance of the venue. The ballroom is stunning and historic, with the vault providing a perfect setting for photos that delighted our guests throughout the evening. The food is out of this world, and our guests all commented on how delicious (and beautiful) their meals were. Honestly, we cannot recommend The Society Room highly enough!
My husband and I are SO happy we went with The Society Room for our May 2022 wedding. We were really looking for a place with character, and that is the primary reason we chose the venue. Simply, it's gorgeous and unlike anything else we looked at in our area. It was the perfect combination of being a unique space while also being big enough to accomodate all of our guests in one area without separating them or feeling cramped. They made the planning process so easy and were always quick to respond to all of our questions. The way they schedule the meetings, reception item drop offs, and communication ensures that the day of the wedding is seamless with nothing to worry about from the bride and groom perspective. Additionally, it's located right next to some great hotel options and bars which made it easy for our guests to walk everywhere they needed to get to. We are so happy we picked The Society Room and I can guarantee that you would be as well!
For a NYE Winter Wedding, The Society Room checked off all the boxes and then some!! The venue is certainly one of a kind and walking down those stairs at the start of the ceremony is an experience I will NEVER forget. Unfortunately, we had to postpone our wedding from NYE 2020 to NYE 2021 but Jim and the staff did the most AMAZING job at ensuring that we could easily transfer everything to the new date and guaranteed we would always get the night we envisioned. I believed they handled the covid situation perfectly, being fair and compassionate for all couples during that difficult time. The Society Room was the only venue that would allow us to go to 1:00am on NYE (others shutting down at 12:30) and that made the party go on even longer. They were extremely accommodating with a few requests we had for food and their all inclusive packaging style made the process very easy. They were NOT wrong. The day of was extremely organized and our guests described the evening as one of a kind—feeling like they were at a wedding but also gala at the same time. Response time was always efficient, which was helpful planning from a distance.
My guests raved about the service, food and bar staff—fun and friendly! Guests did not have to wait long for food, leaving more time for the dance floor, which was another priority for us! The Society Room had a plan for service to ensure that there would be minimal wait times, which was great to know going into the night! My husband and I were so happy with our decision!
Every single day this past year, my husband and I have thanked our lucky stars that we were able to book our wedding at the Society Room. Not only is the venue just absolutely breathtaking--literally every single guest could not stop gushing--but Jim, Paula, Melissa, Desmond, Jonna and the incredible team make planning a wedding a breeze! As an anxious bride, I cannot stress enough how easy they made it for us. We live in Ohio and the team was so accommodating, allowing us to visit multiple times with different family members to make sure this was the right venue. They are exceptionally organized, flexible and committed to keeping things easy for the couple. Society Room provided suggestions for vendors, coordinated with the selected vendors directly, organized the most amazing Tasting (tip- definitely come hungry!) and, of course, ensured the wedding day went flawlessly. I cannot stress enough my appreciation and love for this team. If you're looking to make your wedding day unlike any other, work with the Society Room Team. You will not regret it!
Our wedding was AMAZING!! I can't recommend the Society Room enough. We booked this venue the week before everything shut down for COVID. Originally we were supposed to have a 4/3/21 wedding, but things weren't open in time, and the SR was great about helping us postpone to 4/2/22. Their wedding packages are super inclusive, and they made the wedding planning process as easy as possible. We still have guests raving about how cool the venue was and how great the food was!
The day of was such a smooth experience. We got to work with Desmond and Jonna and they were wonderful! I highly recommend, and I hope I get to attend a wedding at the SR some time in the future!!

Hannah,
Thank you for your comments. Thank you for working with us to get through the mandated Covid shutdown and getting to April 2, 2022!! I hope you have great memories of your wedding at The Society Room for years to come. Just think of the...
great stories you will have for your Grandchildren about getting married during the global pandemic. Stop in occasionally to say hello.
The entire SR team.
Everything was better than we could have hoped! Society Room was so accommodating from our very first meeting until they packed up all of our decor at the end of the night. We brought in a lot of our own decorations, and SR set up everything perfectly. They treated our guests wonderfully. SR breaks down every detail of the day for you.
The most beautiful venue we’ve ever seen. So worth it!

Thank you for the review and we love hearing you had such a wonderful time. Even the rescheduled St Patrick's Day parade couldn't get in the way of your wedding day!
Please stop in now and again to say hello when you are in ...

Best personal regards,

We had a great experience with the Society Room. Covid impacted our original date and our rescheduled date and they were flexible and worked with us around this. On top that of, their communication was always timely, which is so appreciated during such a stressful time.
The venue itself is gorgeous. We didn't end up touring any other sites after seeing The Society Room because we knew nothing else would compare. We received so many compliments from our guests on the venue and the food. The staff are amazing, there was never a line at the bar, which was important to us! Our bridal attendant was on top of everything the evening of the event. We hope to be able to get back to The Society Room to enjoy the venue as a guest in the future!

Thank you for the wonderful review. I love hearing about the timeliness on the communication as we pride ourselves on over communicating so we are all on the same page. Next time you are in Hartford stop in and say hello.

I had the pleasure of getting married at the society room this past December. Everything went better then I could've ever imagined. The food was delicious, we still have guest three months later talking about the food at our wedding. The society room provided us with service that was above and beyond what we could've ever expected. They were extremely helpful with rescheduling our wedding 2x because of Covid as well as with putting out all the decorations and small details my mom and I had made. I can not recommend this venue enough if you are looking a one of a kind 5 star wedding experience.

The Society Room is a gorgeous venue that really goes the extra mile for their couples. They were so organized, responsive, flexible, and helpful throughout the entire wedding and wedding planning process. The venue is stunning and the food is amazing!

Thank you Allison!! Please stop in now and again to say hello!
We cannot say enough good things about Society Room. The ballroom and mezzanine were absolutely stunning for our winter wedding. There is such a “wow factor” at SR that you don’t get in a traditional wedding ballroom or tent. SO many of our guests came up to us to ask how we found SR and to say how blown away they were when they walked in. It is gorgeous!! The food was also exceptional. Our guests continue to rave about the braised beef short rib and scallop entrees we had. My husband and I are foodies and had high hopes, and the food absolutely beat our expectations! Lastly, the employees at SR are incredible. There wasn’t a single time where I was concerned about things going smoothly the day of. I felt so well taken care of and in the hands of professionals the entire time. Jonna was our bride & groom attendant the day of and was amazing!! We were making our rounds saying hello to tables when dinner was coming out and she made sure to check in with us and have our dinner brought out once we were back at our table so it was hot. She always made sure we had a drink, and she made sure we knew where we had to be and when for intros. Everyone we worked with was professional, friendly, kind, and attentive. We would do it all over again exactly the same way. AND it’s reasonably priced for what an impression it makes. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have our reception here!

Thank you Kelly.
That short rib right!!!!!!!
Please stop in now and again to say hello.
Working with the Society Room was an amazing experience. From the moment we walked in, we knew this was the place we wanted to have our wedding. The decor is so well done, the bank vault is gorgeous and the ceiling is beautiful! We had to cancel our wedding due to COVID and the way the Society Room treated us made us know we picked the right venue. The planning, the support and the ease of communication was excellent. Everyone was so helpful and supportive over the 2 years from booking until the reception.
The wedding day went down flawless. My guests were so impressed with everything from the venue itself to the DELICIOUS food! I hope to one day make my way back here as a guest!
I highly suggest this beautiful venue run by an excellent staff!

Leanna,
We made it though Covid planning!!
Thank you for the kind words.

The Society Room had us before we even walked into the venue. After finding the space on The Knot, we were hesitant to check it out since I knew it would be out of our budget. We decided to schedule a tour anyway since other venues we had seen weren't checking the boxes. We were immediately entranced with how beautiful the space was and I didn't know how any other venue could match up. Lucky for us, Paul, the managing partner, was so wonderful to work with and was able to work with our budget. As a 2x covid bride, wedding planning was very stressful but The Society Room helped navigate us through all of the trouble. When we postponed the first time, they were incredibly accommodating and understanding. When they omicron variant hit, Paula and Melissa were so wonderful and prompt to reply to every email I had sent them about last minute details, concerns, etc. Des and Mel were by our sides the entire day/night making sure everything went off perfectly and it DID. I had plenty of people telling me to be prepared for hiccups the day of our wedding but that was not the case for us as The Society Room made sure our day was absolutely perfect (and it definitely was). I still have guests reaching out to me as everyone was blown away by the kindness of the staff, the beautiful venue, and amazing food and drinks. Thank you so much to The Society Room for finally giving us the day of our dreams, a day we will never forget!

The Society Room made all of our elegant and romantic winter wedding dreams come true! The entire staff was incredible from start to finish. They reassured us along the way, and were so supportive and kept us in the loop throughout the process. We also got to attend a tasting prior to choosing the meals/apps for our event, which I know many venues are no longer doing during this pandemic. Leading up to our wedding, there was a COVID surge that added to the stress that comes along with planning a wedding, but Paula, Melissa, and Desmond were wonderful and accommodating. They addressed all of our concerns, and helped to alleviate some of our stress.
Our wedding was an incredible, unforgettable, and practically flawless evening. We received so many compliments from guests saying that it was probably their favorite wedding they’ve ever attended. The food, the service, and just the aesthetic of the venue was perfect. Special shout-out to Johnna, our wedding day attendant, who was just so lovely and sweet, and anticipated our every need throughout the night. I would absolutely recommend the Society Room to anyone planning a wedding or special event!

This venue was absolutely majestic and exceeded all our expectations. The ornate design and decorations provided beautiful backdrops to every event throughout our wedding. We took our “first look” pictures in front of the grand wooden door. We read our vows underneath the towering curved window draped with an almost tapestry-like set of maroon curtains. The ceiling fixtures bathed the ballroom with a glowing warmth that set the tone for the whole evening. Our guests gazed upon the artful designs adorning the ceilings, not to mention the colossal marble pillars reaching up to them. The bank vault made for such a unique and picturesque scene like something straight out of a movie. In addition, the tables, seating, dishware, and silverware blended so well into the overall aesthetic.
A beautiful venue is nothing without proper planning and coordination, and we have to say the Society Room exceeded in these regards, as well. From the moment we met with Jim and Melissa expressing our initial interest in this venue, we were met with helpful, responsive correspondence to all our questions, concerns, and requests. In the midst of a pandemic and the uncertainty it posed, we felt much more secure in our planning by having a team we could easily communicate with. In terms of service, the Society Room was unparalleled.
As for the food, the venue delivered a delectable assortment of dishes. The hors d'oeuvres were tasty and flowed endlessly throughout cocktail hour from the refreshing shrimp cocktail to the zesty mini buffalo empanadas. The entrées led to many clean plates, with the braised short rib & mashed potatoes easily becoming a fan favorite. The staff were extremely accommodating to all food allergies and dietary restrictions. They worked with us closely during prior planning, as well as the day of the event, making sure to double-check with each guest before serving their plate.
Thank you so much for making our wedding an unforgettable experience!

Our wedding was a dream come true at the Society Room. The venue is stunning, the food amazing, and the staff incredibly kind and helpful. The wedding and reception ran so smoothly. They take care of everything so we just got to relax and enjoy the day.
Finding and booking The Society Room of Hartford was Godsent after being cancelled from another venue due to then closing to the public for a private client (not cool!). The venue is absolutely stunning from top to bottom. It's an old bank and the way they transformed it is nothing I have ever seen before. There is nothing that Melissa, Paula and their team didn't cover at each meeting. They made the process for our wedding seamless and beautiful! The food was amazing and people are still talking about it after a month! The photobooth Vault is amazing! This place is good for all celebrations and I have been spreading the word to those I know who inquired about our experience. If we are still living in CT in 10 years, I think we will have our celebration there!
We hired the Society Room of Hartford to host our wedding reception, which was supposed to be May 2020. With the national pandemic, we were forced to move our date not once, but twice. The Society Room worked with us to ensure everything was moved accordingly. It was difficult to have to wait a year and three months for our wedding reception ( due to pandemic) but we were so thankful to the Society Room for making this uncharted process as seemless as possible. When we did have our reception, it was absolutely perfect! Beautiful venue and delicious food. We couldn’t of asked for better.
What can I even say about this place other than the people, the venue, the FOOD - everything was truly and unimaginably spectacular!!!! We had originally booked our December 2020 wedding at the Riverhouse but CT shut down all venues for the rest of the year. We were offered true flexibility, kindness, and solidarity throughout a very tumultuous time. When it was time to rebook, Riverhouse didn't have any Saturdays available so we asked if we could check out availability for The Society Room. We had went to see that venue first and it was my (now) husband's favorite. They said yes without hesitation and seamlessly moved our entire event over to the Society Room.
We got married there on 7/10/2021 and I am STILL receiving compliments daily about how unique the venue was, how delicious the food and drinks were, how fun the entire celebration was - we got our dream wedding after all, I had been wanting to cancel this thing since we got postponed. I would never gotten the chance to see how amazing Melissa, Desmond, Jim and the entire Society Room crew were.
I cannot thank them enough, our wedding was perfect TRULY. I wish I could relive that day a million times. No one can match the attention to detail and thoughtfulness of the Society Room and Riverhouse. You guys are wonderful and I can't thank you enough!!!
This venue was my Cinderella/Downton Abbey dream come true! I always wanted my fairytale princess royal wedding and this venue produced! The building looks like a castle and you get the building, not just a room or hall. Jim the owner is the proud owner of the society room and can help you envision your dream wedding upon your first look. My bridal attendant Johanna was fabulous and wonderful too! I had my dream wedding and it all started with the venue. The society room thinks of everything a wedding needs and includes it in the price! Parking, hotel stay, cake, bar, it's all included. No renting of table linens or chairs this venue delivers! I'd do it all again with the Society Room!
Despite planning a wedding throughout Covid and from another state, the staff of the Society Room helped us create and experience our dream wedding. Everything from the food to the atmosphere exceeded all our expectations. The staff that worked on our wedding day made sure that both the bride and groom were taken care of and that we were able to actually enjoy our special moments instead of worrying and going through the motions. I cannot recommend this venue enough, the venue itself and the staff made our wedding day perfect!
I just want to say how accommodating, professional, and friendly the Society Room was to me and my husband! We had picked this venue back in November of 2018 for a June 2020 wedding. When COVID-19 hit, they were very understanding and gave us several dates to choose from for a new date, all without loosing any of our security deposit or payments made up to then. When we finally had our wedding in June of 2021, the planning and preparedness of the staff was top-notch. Even the tastings were well organized! We had a prohibition-style/speakeasy theme for our wedding reception and the Society Room staff played their part with the details and decorations that I didn't even think of such as the set-up for the harvest table and the wedding favors! A BIG shoutout to both Melissa's and Desmond and his staff! We were looking for something that was all-inclusive with regards to ceremony, reception and catering and the Society Room hit it out the park on all levels! Our wedding guests are STILL talking about how much they enjoyed themselves at our wedding! Thank you so much for making wedding day so special!
Originally booked the society room for a May 2020 Wedding . The venue is lovely inside. We rescheduled once due to covid and did not wish to reschedule yet again when we were once again asked . They were not offering options to accommodate the state mandated gathering restrictions as it would not be beneficial to them. They offered us a refund for our deposit In June which which we are grateful for- but have still yet to see. While we understand they have encountered hardships with the pandemic - so has everyone else .
I cannot explain how amazing The Society Room is! Everything I wanted or requested, they exceeded my expectations. The food is amazing, the facility is amazing, and the people are the best! If you want to be treated like a princess on your wedding day, this is the place to go
I cannot say enough amazing things about the Society Room of Hartford. They made our entire wedding experience so stress free and gave us a day beyond our wildest dreams.
We ended up going to visit the Society Room by mistake (we had intended to visit their sister property when I went to make the appointment) and it was the best mistake I could have made. They gave us the wedding I never could have possible thought we could have.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning. We have gotten so many compliments from our guests at how beautiful the day was. Not only that, I have gotten so many comments about how GREAT the food was. My husband was THRILLED over the mac & cheese bar. The staff was incredible on the day of. THey took incredible care of us and our guests.
Leading up to the big day, Melissa was an absolute pleasure to work with. She answered all of my questions so quickly and put all of my anxieties to rest. She made the process so easy and stress free.
The Society Room set everything up for us and broke everything down. Compared to some of my friends and family member's weddings I have been a part of, our process was so stress free and the venue went above and beyond to make sure that anything they could help us with, they did.
We had such a magical day and I would give the Society Room 10 stars if I was able to. I HIGHLY recommend them to all couples looking for a stunning and stress free wedding day!
Have nothing, but good things to say about the SR. The staff is professional, hardworking, and so friendly. The night was so easy for us because of the staff. Shout out to Janna who was with my husband and me, making sure we always had a drink and whatever we needed. Not to mention it is truly the most beautiful, one of a kind venue. All of our guests were in awe the whole time and wouldn't stop raving about the venue's beauty. I especially recommend a winter wedding there as it was even more magical with the lights. 10000% recommend!!!
I had the greatest night of my life! The event staff here at the Society Room were beyond amazing! They were extremely helpful and super knowledgeable. It has only been 2 weeks since and I’ve already had so many different people come up to me and tell me how incredible the venue was. The food was just as amazing! We were able to customize and personalize a menu. It was by far the best wedding food We’ve ever had! I also loved how this is a one-event space so we could really enjoy everything they had to offer. I loved every single second of working with everyone here! I highly recommend this venue.
The day was made so special but everyone from pre-wedding planning, the mock wedding which helped pick out the best food choices for our guest, to day of with the wedding day attendant who made my husband and I feel like we had everything we needed. Our guests loved the food and said the venue was beautiful!!
Just over two weeks ago we had our wedding reception at the Society Room in Hartford, CT. We visited countless venues in the greater Hartford area but none of them captured our vision and ideal day like the Society Room.
The ambiance was breathtaking including the large stone pillars, wooden bars, two storied ceilings. The venue was everything we could have asked for and then some!
The staff at the Society Room is really what sold us at the end of the day. We worked with Melissa Sundholm as our event coordinator and she was fantastic! Every time we had a question (which there were many) she was always available to help and make sure that we were prepared for our big day. We even had a private tour of the venue with Jim the GM of Riverhouse Catering on a Sunday to ensure our parents could see the venue before we signed off. The commitment of the folks at the Society Room is second to none.
Special shoutout to the event day staff Desmond, Melissa, and Hailey (we are sorry if we missed anyone)! You were all amazing and went above and beyond to ensure we didn't worry about a thing.
The food is AMAZING. Best wedding food I have ever eaten and our guests all really enjoyed their meals. Compliments to the chef!
Overall, The Society Room was the perfect venue for our wedding reception and we honestly would work with them again if we had the opportunity to do it all over. We highly recommend The Society Room of Hartford. Thanks for helping make our day so special!
Taylor and Jon
I honestly don't know where to start except to say that everything went absolutely perfectly from planning the wedding to the actual wedding night. We worked with Melissa at the Society Room who was was such a pleasure to work with. She was accommodating, supportive, responsive, detail oriented and always professional. The Venue speaks for itself, it has a TON of character that made our wedding a little more unique than some of the other traditional indoor venues. We had a large wedding and utilized the top and bottom levels for our reception. At first I was a little worried about this, but it was SO awesome. After dinner, everyone who was upstairs came down to dance. The food was delicious, from cocktail hour to dinner everything was executed perfectly. I also really loved the way they invited 50 couples to an event to sample and select food choices in advance of the meeting. Service the night of the wedding was also incredible. I received really positive feedback from all the guests, and my husband and I couldn't have been happier. Price was really reasonable considering the quality of food, service, environment. Overall, I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone planning their wedding. There wasn't one thing that went wrong and we had an amazing experience working with Melissa and the rest of the team at the Society Room. I am so thankful we chose it for our day.
This venue is a dream and I feel so lucky I was able to get married here! I first found The Society Room when I was just casually browsing wedding venues in Connecticut, before we even got engaged (who hasn't done that!) and when I saw pictures of those beautiful doors and the staircase inside I was in love. Even better, when we sat down and really looked at all that the Society Room provides for its couples that we realized what an amazing deal this venue is. The ‘all inclusive’ aspect of their service is what sets them apart from many other venues we looked at. They take care of so many parts of the process and for the services they don't provide themselves, they have amazing vendors they can recommend and have worked with before. This made us feel so at ease and knowing we were in Melissa’s more than capable hands during the planning process was incredibly reassuring.
When we started booking our other vendors for the day, we knew we had made the best choice when many of them expressed excitement at being able to work our wedding at The Society Room and praised the venue’s professionalism and good food!
We were living across the country while planning our wedding and The Society Room took so much stress out of planning our big day, they made it actually feel easy. Everyone commented in the week before my wedding that I was one of the least stressed brides they had ever seen and I can say without a doubt that was due to Melissa, Desmond, and the entire team helping me ensure every detail was perfect.
The food was phenomenal, the service was amazing, and then you're surrounded by such an elegant and glamorous space, all of our guests were talking about how perfect our wedding day was. Many even said it was one of the best weddings they've attended! This is entirely thanks to the hard work that was put in by the venue leading up to and on the day of our wedding and I am so grateful for it. Because of them I was able to just relax and enjoy and take in my wedding and not worry about a single thing.
We couldn't have asked for a better day, a better team, and a better location!
I can't imagine having my wedding anywhere else. Everyone at The Society Room went above and beyond to ensure that our day was what we had envisioned. They were very accommodating with food allergies and even helping us to get a few Kosher options for guests. The location of the venue is super convenient to anywhere in Hartford. Most of our guests just walked from their hotels the night of. The venue itself is so unique with the historic 20s feel. Plus where else can you take photos in a real bank vault! We had the absolute best day and so did our guests!
The Society Room is absolutely beautiful and a wonderful experience. They went above and beyond to make our wedding day a memorable and fantastic time. From the planning process with Melissa, to the wedding day with Desmond and the staff, the Society Room will not disappoint anyone.
Our wedding day was honestly the best day of our lives!!
The Society Room was phenomenal. I worked with Melissa throughout the planning who was so organized and wonderful to work with! On the day of our wedding, the managers and our Bridal Attendant, Johnna, were FABULOUS. They checked in on us constantly and communicated with our vendors. We didn't have to worry about anything and were able to enjoy our time with our guests! Johnna over heard me in the bridal suite talking to one of my bridesmaids that I hated champagne. After that, she let me know that she put sauvignon blanc (which was what I was drinking) in my champagne flute instead for our toasts. I was so impressed!!! She truly took care of us and made us feel very special. The food was amazing as well. The mashed potatoes were out of this world and the hors d'oeuvres were perfect! We are still getting compliments from guests that it was the best wedding!! I wish I could go back and relive the day over and over!! <3 Thank you everyone at The Society Room!!!
I'm so glad we chose the Society Room! We received so many compliments about how gorgeous and unique the actual venue was and on the food! I was nervous about planning a wedding from out of state but there was no need! Melissa, Desmond, and Jonna were all extremely professional and helpful. Melissa was the coordinator before the big day and answered any and all of our questions which was fantastic! Desmond and Jonna were there for us on THE DAY and were everywhere! They worked very hard to make sure we had fun and we did!! So thanks! They also gave us pointers on what to expect and I especially appreciated Desmond's advice of not to look at the officiant during the ceremony! Our pictures of the ceremony look awesome because we were staring at each other not the officiant!! Jonna made sure I had everything I needed! We had last minute changes to things at the final meeting and Melissa and team were extremely accommodating! Overall it was the little things they did or helped with that really made our day! What a great professional team! Well done!
