a literal dream, cannot recommend highly enough

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.

Impeccable Downtown Hartford Wedding Venue

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.

Worry free and perfectly executed

We are so grateful to have had our wedding at The Society Room of Hartford. The Society Room was amazing from the initial planning stages right up and through our wedding day. They made the wedding planning easy! 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. Thank you for making our wedding labeled as one of the best many of our guests have been to!

As a wedding photographer, I always look forward to being a part of capturing beautiful moments for the couples I work with. Half the challenge when trying to create that magic moment is having the right venue to set the stage and give the proper ambiance to put the photographs over the top. Having done a couple of weddings at the Hartford Society Room; I can truly say that each and every time I am there it is special. The staff is top notch and treats the wedding party, guests and vendors with respect. I look forward to coming back soon!
