    The Perfect Day at the Perfect Venue

    We could write an entire book about how great our experience was with The State Room. Tom and Lisa are some of the most professional and caring people we’ve ever worked with. Their experience and advice on planning our wedding reception was truly invaluable. They will help with all aspects and are ready to give advice, if you want it, on literally any aspect of the day- from lighting and sound, to how people and food will flow, to what drinks to serve, even to when you should start and end the day. Their combined experience makes them truly the absolute best in the Capital District. They also provide incredible value for the price. Compared to most other local venues, you will get so much more food and drink for your money at the state room. Plus the quality of the food is outstanding. Our guests were overwhelmed with the amount of appetizers, the size and quality of the entrees and were shocked to see the fun food finale and ice cream sundaes come out throughout the reception. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The venue itself is beyond beautiful…we couldn’t be happier. There’s also the little details, like Tom being more or less “on call” the day of the wedding to drive the bride and groom wherever they need to go. It’s truly so special and Lisa and Tom will feel like family after all is said and done. We literally cannot say enough good things about the state room and have zero complaints, they truly made our wedding day perfect.

    SO happy we chose The State Room!

    Tom & Lisa at the State Room really are the dream team; they were with us every step of the way through the planning process and even through our wedding day. Truly I don’t think we could’ve had the dream wedding we had without their help! I DIYed a couple of personalized signs and of course the seating chart but other than that I did not have to lift a finger decorating or even planning where things should go. We literally got to show up, get married, and throw a party…I mean how much more could we have asked for?! We’ve been married for a little over one month now and our wedding guests are STILL talking about the food from our wedding (both the quantity and quality!). Every single person we’ve talked to since says it’s the best (and most) food they’ve ever had at a wedding and they aren’t kidding. After our receiving line, my new husband and I were whisked off to the banker’s loft where there was a (private!!!) candlelit table set for two and a spread fit for a king and queen. There were two each of our signature drinks, water, champagne, and multiples of ALL the food being served downstairs at cocktail hour. We honestly thought we were going to have to be physically rolled down to our own wedding reception! In all seriousness, the private moment for us was hands down one of our favorite memories of the entire evening; it really was so nice. We’ll forever recommend the State Room to anyone who will listen :)

    The State Room Absolutely Rocks!

    Having our wedding at The State Room was the single best decision we made! From the first phone call through the end of our special night, Tom and Lisa were 1000% committed to making the day perfect - and they succeeded mightily. Their kindness, professionalism and organizational planning is truly next level. The only regret we have is that we can't give them six stars. Truly, you won't regret having your wedding here!

    Best experience ever!

    Many thanks to Tom and the entire State Room team for creating the best wedding reception ever! From the attention to detail, help with planning, and the friendly and hardworking staff -- The State Room is the way to go! Both my husband and I are not from the Albany area, and the State Room was so accommodating! We were able to do some of our planning meetings over the phone, and whenever we were in town, they were happy to meet with us there! They helped simplify the process so much -- With so much to plan for the big day, I am so glad we chose to have our reception here. On the day of your wedding, Tom is there every step of the way, making sure that everything goes smoothly for you.
    We are still hearing raving reviews about how much people loved our wedding. Our guests had so much fun and so many of them have told us how much they loved the space, food & staff.
    If you're considering having your wedding/reception at The State Room -- look no further. Amazing food, amazing staff, and all in an incredibly beautiful space. Tom really goes above and beyond to offer a great experience for great value. At each step of the way, my husband and I were so happy we chose to have our reception here. Many thanks to Tom, Lisa, and the entire staff at The State Room for a day we will never forget!

    A perfect day!

    If I could give the State Room 6 stars I would . As Danielle and I began searching for our perfect wedding venue, we made an extensive list of places to check. The State Room was the third place we checked out...and Danielle wanted to stop then and there as this was the perfect place for our wedding. We were not quite sure if we could make things work out, but Tom worked with us to make sure our dream wedding was achievable. During the wedding planning process, Tom and Lisa explained what the State Room offered and frequently checked in with us to make sure we were getting our tasks for the wedding done.

    The wedding day itself was perfect! We wanted a simple but elegant ceremony and Tom made sure that was possible. We had both our ceremony and reception at the State Room and they were able to make this a quick and seamless transition. During the reception, our guests were provided with champagne, hors d'oeuvres, and service that was A+. Renee, who was covering for Lisa that day, was sensational! She made sure that my mom did not have to wait in line for drinks. Additionally, I asked her to make sure my Pop was able to sample any and every hors d'oeuvre. She went above and beyond...SHE BROUGHT HIM HIS OWN SAMPLER PLATE. He is still talking about it! The only complaint that we have heard so far was that hors d'oeuvres were so good that few people had room for dinner. But don't worry, the portions for dinner were the best I have experienced thus far!

    One of the things many people told me prior to the wedding was to make sure Danielle and I got alone time to embrace the moment. The State Room did that and it was the highlight of our night. We were provided with food, champagne and our signature drinks. But most importantly, we were provided with time to be husband and wife.

    Another thing they did that can't go unmentioned was make our daughter Katie feel like it was her big day too! Katie sat centerstage with us. Throughout the process Lisa checked in to make sure that Katie's wants would be met (including her having chicken nuggets and cupcakes). Katie still talks about "the best day ever!!!"

    Couldn't have asked for better

    We truly couldn't have asked for a better venue than the State Room. From the moment we saw it we knew it was the perfect place to have our wedding. Tom and Lisa were both so helpful during the entire planning process and were always willing to answer any questions we had. On the actual wedding day, Renee stepped in for Lisa who unfortunately couldn't be there that day for personal reasons. But Renee was so incredibly professional, kind and helpful, it was like we had been working with her from the beginning. She helped make everything run so smoothly and we can't thank both her and Tom enough for all they did to make our wedding perfect. They allowed us to just sit back and enjoy our own wedding while they took care of every little detail.

    There are a lot of reviews that talk about the food, but that's because it truly is unlike any other wedding venue I've been to. Everything is delicious, it's all freshly cooked on site, and just the amount of food alone makes the State Room completely worth it. They also provide takeaway boxes for anyone who wants to take their food home with them, which is something you so rarely see at other venues. It was such a nice perk that everyone at our wedding was super appreciative of.

    Overall I can't say enough good things about the State Room and I'd strongly recommend choosing them as your venue, because they will bend over backwards to ensure your wedding is the best day of your life!

    A wonderful day like no other

    The State Room was the best decision we made, short of marrying each other. The venue took care of everything, left no stone unturned, kept communication flowing and everything was delivered and presented as outlined. Tom and his staff are fantastic and you've got a one stop shop for virtually all aspects of a wedding , all in one place.

    Amazing Experience

    The State Room was the first venue that my husband and I visited and we weren’t expecting to be so completely enamored! We would compare every other wedding venue we visited afterwards to The State Room. From the beginning, Lisa and Tom made us feel so at ease with wedding preparations and planning. They were always a phone call or email away and responded almost immediately. They were as invested in planning our wedding as we were and made sure that we followed a timeline and got things done–Tom and Lisa acted as our wedding planners! On top of that, you can’t beat the beauty and grandeur of the venue–just stunning!

    Tom showed up to the church about an hour before the ceremony to help out–he helped carry my dress and bouquet and made sure I had whatever I needed. You really are his priority and he makes it known. After the ceremony, Tom is right there to give you a bottle of water and whisk you back downtown in his car.

    I could write an entire review for the food itself. Everyone at the wedding was so full from the amount of food they ate–the largest prime ribs we have ever eaten, endless appetizers, and mountains of cake. And then a fun food finale to top it all off! Our guests are still talking about the food!

    We had the most wonderful wedding thanks to Tom and Lisa and the rest of the staff at The State Room!

    Tom and Lisa are amazing

    I cannot say enough about the state room. This has been the easiest and smoothest process to plan a wedding because of their help and the venues includes soooo much!! All my guests are telling me it was the best wedding, best food, best everything! They went above and beyond for us and our wedding was flawless because of them

    The State Room will forever be part of us!

    The State Room was a blessing that graced us in a way we didn’t even realize. I was at my final straw with visiting wedding venues. It just wasn’t clicking for us. I saw reviews for The State Room and said… let’s try one more time. We walked in and between the venue alone and the incredible humans we were acquainted with… We were sold.
    Our wedding day was on September 24th and it truly was something indescribable. It was a fairytale. From the second we booked, Tom and Lisa were there for us every step of the way. I was a SLACKER of a bride. It was overwhelming and too much at times. All of that would go away as soon as I’d talk to Lisa on the phone or my other half would go and talk to Tom.
    The food - words can’t even begin to explain. We had our beautiful tasting event at the venue and from that point on we told all of our guests “please come hungry… this isn’t your typical wedding meal.”
    People are still raving about the selection, presentation, and overall deliciousness of every single thing. (The mini Beef Wellingtons … let me tell you… we are still hearing about those!)
    The day wouldn’t have gone the way that it did without the support from Tom and Lisa. They did everything they could to make this the best day of our lives. You’re not talking to a car salesman when you enter this establishment. You’re talking to genuine, caring and incredible people that truly love what they do.
    The venue alone looks like a dream with the uplighting and ambiance. The service is top notch. I am so happy something in the universe led my husband and I here.
    Lastly— I laugh because I can’t tell you how many times people asked me… “who’s your caterer?”
    The VENUE is! Tom and Lisa are! Lisa is behind the scenes putting your dream wedding together for you while you’re getting ready. Tom HIMSELF (owner of the venue) comes and picks you up to bring you to where you are getting married. He then stands with you and fluffs your dress, gives you tissues, makes sure everything is as you can imagine. While he’s being this incredible, his side kick Lisa is putting the fairytale together at the venue.
    When the reception starts, Tom is now getting his team together in the kitchen to COOK for all of your guests. You heard me right. He went from tux, to chef outfit, back to tux after everyone ate, etc.
    Tom and Lisa both kept us in check the entire time and made sure we didn’t get sucked into missing opportunities. Lisa grabbed my hand and led me to the cake cutting because it seemed impossible to be able to take a second to do so. They both made sure we got night time photos. They both made sure Daniel and I got one on one time during cocktail hour. They made sure we ate. They packed up every single entree for us for leftovers (which we ate all week.)
    I could go on and on forever. These two made the best day of our lives an absolute dream. My gratitude will never be enough.
    The State Room will hold a place in our hearts forever. Everyone thought Tom and Lisa were family members because of how involved they were! Well, we were okay with that. Because they truly made us feel as so. But, no, they are not. They are just incredible at what they do and go above and beyond to make your special day the greatest day of your life! Thank you. We are still on cloud 9!

    My fairytale wedding dream come true!

    My husband Alec and I got married at The State Room on September 23rd, 2022 and the day was an absolute dream! From the very beginning you felt like you were the only couple who ever mattered to Tom and Lisa. With that and everything that was included in the venue - it was no brainer for us to choose the State Room. Tom is a unique guy - so compassionate and you can really tell he loves what he does! Lisa answered all my questions quickly and even set up appointments with me to come in person to discuss things with samples as I am a very visual person. All our guests are still talking about the amazing food that is prepared - IN HOUSE by Tom and his wonderful kitchen staff. Believe me when I say it's not your traditional wedding meal. We even got sent home with leftovers (that we continue to eat and share the next few days after). The day of - Tom is with you every step of the way from driving you to your picture location, fluffing your dress, letting me use his keys on my train so it stayed put when the wind wouldn't cooperate, to making sure we were checked into our hotel that night and everything in-between. Lisa brought us upstairs after the ceremony to make sure Alec and I got some alone time before the party started and to make sure we ate! They were just wonderful every step of the way. If you are looking for a magical wedding day with staff who truly cares - please look no further than the State Room!

    Don't Think Twice!

    I truly don't know where to begin, The State Room is absolutely phenomenal, and that is an understatement! Tom the owner (and cook!) and Lisa our wedding coordinator and organization genius were fabulous and made our entire wedding experience so easy! We had consistent communication throughout, and we booked them 20 months ago. Whenever I had a question, they always answered promptly and did everything they could to make sure what we requested happened. The food was absolutely incredible, my guests were in awe about all the different appetizers, the meal itself and the fun food at the end of the night. The waitstaff and bartenders could not have been more polite and were fantastic hosts. My husband and I got to have moments by ourselves which can be hard on a busy wedding day. But Tom and Lisa made sure we had our own space to enjoy some food and time to spend alone to soak in the day. We could not be more grateful No wedding is perfect but our day at The State Room was pretty damn close!

    Amazing wedding venue

    The State Room was a wonderful venue for a wedding! Tom and Lisa went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I and our guests were all taken care of. The food was spectacular, service was amazing, and venue was breathtaking. We cannot recommend The State Room more highly.

    The DREAM wedding venue

    The State Room is nothing short of the perfect wedding venue. Tom and Lisa really do go above and beyond to make your day the best. Lisa was so helpful in the planning process and organized everything on the day off, not a single thing was missed! And Tom showed up and drove me to each spot I wanted to take pictures at and even made sure myself and my husband got to our hotel room after the wedding. Tom and Lisa seriously are the best and I cannot be happier they were who I chose to help plan my day.

    We had everything included from centerpieces, to cake, to late night food and an ice cream sundae bar. Our guests said that the food was some of the best they have ever had at a wedding! The Venue itself is so beautiful inside and we got so many compliments on what a nice wedding we had, but truly owe that all to The State Room!

    I could not recommend this venue more for your wedding day - from the service you get from each and every staff member, to the unimaginable food options that keep coming all night long - you can seriously not go wrong!

    When we went to a pick up our stuff the next day I told Lisa I couldn’t believe we wouldn’t be coming back because I enjoyed every minute of planning with them.

    Best Wedding Venue Ever!!!

    Being Tom's daughter, I've grown up seeing his passion and hard work being poured into The State Room, wedding after wedding. So when it was time for me and my husband to celebrate our marriage, we had no doubt in our mind that Tom and his staff would put on the wedding of our dreams!!!

    Our experience from beginning to end was nothing but perfect. From our first meeting and food tasting through the actual wedding day, the staff was attentive, responsive, and accommodating. They made every little detail we had envisioned come to life, and did it with a smile on their face.

    AND THE FOOD... We are still getting messages from family & friends about how incredible it was (coconut shrimp and 1 lb filet mignons were some of the highlights). Tom went above and beyond, surprising guests with late night snacks and ice cream sundaes. His staff was extremely attentive to our guests dietary restrictions and providing personalized alternatives to suit their needs.

    The room itself was STUNNING that night, as they worked with my specific and particular vision. The marble walls and extraordinary chandelier are unlike any other venue we've been to. Thank you again to my dad and his staff on putting on one of the best moments of our lives. And if you are a potential bride or groom reading this review and wondering if you should book at The State Room... Tom's tagline is "I treat every bride like it's my own daughter" so expect the same service. 10000/10!

    Absolutely amazing

    I thought planning a wedding from 700 miles away was going to be impossible, until we found The State Room. We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception here and everything from the start of the weekend to the end was absolutely amazing. Tom, Lisa and all the staff are there to help you and make sure you and all your guests are cared for and having a great time. What you see is what you get, there's no hidden/added fees, a gorgeous venue, amazing food, all inclusive, and help with planning from start to finish. Communication was great. They instantly answered my calls and emails and checked in on me to make I knew what needed to be done and see if I needed help or had questions. I got so many compliments during and after the wedding about how the food never stopped coming and how good it was. One thing (of the many) I loved is that they make sure you and your wife/husband have a moment alone after the ceremony to eat and relax for a few minutes. They were always one step ahead and the day of you really don't have to worry about anything except being present. Lisa really is super woman, making sure everything goes off without a hitch and Tom really does treat you like his son/daughter. The day was beyond what I imagined and I would highly recommend The State Room to any couple!

    Stunning Wedding Venue

    The State Room was an incredible wedding venue. Tom and Lisa went above and beyond throughout the whole planning process, and the day of to make sure everyone turned out the way we wanted it to. The venue itself is gorgeous, the food was amazing and the location was perfect for accommodating out of town guests. We would recommend The State Room not only for their beautiful venue, but also for their quality of service, amazing food, and for providing the best value for their price point!

    The beautiful State Room!!!

    We had the most perfect wedding day thanks to Tom & Lisa, and the staff of The State Room. They exceeded our expectations and made sure every detail was perfect on our special day. Our guests were blown away by the elegance of the venue and amazing food. Especially the delicious hors d’oeuvres that just kept coming out! You will always have a cocktail at hand as well!

    Phenomenal in every way

    07.01.2022- The most magical night of our lives. Tom, Lisa, and their crew made our wedding a dream come true. Planning our wedding across the country and during the pandemic was no easy feat; however, Tom, Lisa, and their team ensured everything was easy for us and helped us with all our questions along the way.
    We are still in awe of how fantastic everything turned out. The service was exceptional, and our wedding guests talked about how they had the best food ever at a wedding.
    Tom provided personal service on our wedding day, driving us on a hot summer day to get our perfect picture locations and ensuring we had plenty to eat. Tom always said he would be there for us, but he went above and beyond on the wedding day.
    Again, this is truly the best venue, and we are BEYOND happy with our choice! So, if you are looking for a beautiful location, the best food, and a team to ensure you are taken care of, do not hesitate to book the State Room. Thank you, Tom, Lisa, and the team!

    Perfect Wedding Day!

    We're over a month out from our wedding and still getting compliments from friends and family of how amazing our day was. In particular numerous guests have told us the state room served them the best wedding food they had ever had. Tom and Lisa were incredibly responsive and helped us plan every detail of our day. We also appreciate the flexibility Tom gave us with rescheduling our wedding (twice!) due to covid. Absolutely recommend the state room, you won't be disappointed!

    The BEST Venue- Hands Down

    If we could give more than 5 stars for The State Room, we would absolutely do it. Tom, Lisa and his team are beyond incredible and supported us throughout the wedding planning process from start to finish. They have an excellent list of recommended vendors and include several within their various packages (cake, flower centerpieces, etc.) which made planning so much easier!

    The food lives up to the hype- our family and friends still rave about how incredible the appetizers, entrees and late night snacks were. Even the pickiest of eaters complimented how tasty everything was.

    The decor and ambiance of the interior is beautiful and truly timeless. They helped us put together our vision of offering a Hershey Kiss Bar and put that together seamlessly.

    When Tom tells you that you are his son and daughter for the day- he means it. We felt so taken care of and really appreciated that on our wedding day. We could not have asked for a better venue. Thank you, Tom, Lisa & Team, you are amazing.

    Love- Ashley & Shawn

    Perfect Wedding

    We had a absolutely beautiful wedding at The State Room, I would even say we had a perfect wedding! So many of our guests have said that our wedding was the best they have ever attended and could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue is and how good but also how much food there was. Guests who we know typically leave these events early, stayed the whole night! Tom and his staff were so wonderful and easy to work with, whenever I called Tom would pick up immediately and was happy to answer every question no matter how minor of a detail. Tom and his staff clearly had so much experience and expertise I felt that I could 100% trust their advice.

    The wedding package available was so inclusive that it made planning so easy as Tom handle most big details (cake, food, bar, vintage car, late night food, florals), his suggested vendor list was amazing and all vendors from his list were fantastic choices and were also so easy to work with. Tom really goes out of his way to making his couples feel special. Starting with his vintage car, driving my parents and I to the church, and then my husband and I to photos, then the State room, and then even drove us across the street to the hotel and personally escorted us to our hotel room. The entire time helping to carry my very long train and veil! Tom also has a private room that overlooks the reception hall for us to go to before the reception start allowing us to have a special moment for just us where he makes sure the couple is each given one of each hors d'oeuvres. It was so nice being able to see the room empty and then watch as everyone arrives.

    The food was absolutely amazing, even as the bride I was so full, and anything not eaten was packed into to-go containers for all guests. People are still talking to us about the food. The State Room is so beautiful, it made decorating a breeze, I hardly had to bring anything in as the venue itself is enough. The staff was also so kind, Lisa was so nice and was so flexible with last minute details and changes. One of the servers was a lifesaver as I kept loosing my on of my earrings, she found pencil erasers that I was able to use as emergency backings. I'm truly blown away by how amazing our wedding was, I would not have changed one thing about our night!

    Thank you Tom!
