Robin, the Queen, the GOAT!

We truly cannot thank Robin enough for everything she did for our wedding at Hamilton Hall. She was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish and made the entire process feel seamless, calm, and perfectly organized. You can immediately tell that she truly knows what she is doing and has so much experience handling every little detail.

One thing we especially appreciated was how incredible she was at navigating family dynamics and getting to know us as a couple. She really took the time to understand our vision, personalities, and priorities, which helped create a day that felt completely authentic to us.

Robin made everything run so smoothly behind the scenes that we were actually able to relax and fully enjoy the day with our family and friends. We genuinely loved our entire experience at Hamilton Hall, and Robin was such a huge part of that.

Thank you, Robin, for making our wedding day so special — we are so grateful!

Perfect venue with the best coordinator!

I fell in love with Hamilton Hall as soon as we visited and Robin really sealed the deal for us! Not only does she have great connections across the North shore, she also provides fantastic advice on how to make the most of the rental period and wonderful cost saving tips! She was quick to reply to emails or let us know if there were any potential concerns; getting engaged and married within 8 months made getting one of the last liquor licenses a little stressful but we did it! It was the perfect backdrop for our December wedding and the hall had already been decorated for the holidays as an added bonus - not that this place needed much! The chandeliers and gold mirrors are already breath taking!

Hamilton Hall was the perfect venue for our day, and Robin Perry is AMAZING

We got married at Hamilton Hall in February 2019 and it could not have been more perfect. The ballroom is stunning and we loved the history of the building. Our ceremony photos in front of the gorgeous gilded mirror are stunning. And our outdoor photos on Chestnut Street are amazing.

But probably the biggest thing going for Hamilton Hall is Robin Perry, the event coordinator. She was AMAZING. She was so so helpful during the planning process, answering every question I had and even helped us get a discount on our thank you gifts. And on the day of she was outstanding. Everything ran so smoothly because of her. And she worked with our caterer (Vinwood) to make sure all of our decorations that we brought looked gorgeous (I DIYed our flowers and decor, so there was no florist to do this for us). She was an absolute pleasure to work with and really wants you to have the best day ever. I am so glad we got to work with her, and so so thankful to her for making our day absolutely perfect.

Also really worth mentioning: we had 100 guests and the alcohol bill, because you get to order from Kappy's and return the unopened portions), was only $1000. That's $10 per person. I mean, you can't beat that. Huge huge huge money saver versus venues that want to charge you 35+.

Last thing: the location is so perfect. It's walking distance to the Hawthorne Hotel, Salem Inn, and Salem Waterfront, so we didn't have to pay for shuttles. And there's so much for guests to do in Salem.

Altogether, we were thrilled with our Hamilton Hall wedding. Highly recommend!!!

My partner and I has our ceremony at Hamilton Hall, and she and I were extremely happy with the choice. The space is beautiful and offers some great rooms for photos. Robin was just amazing to work with while planning. On the day of the reception (a Saturday in October) we had our last shuttle running late in traffic with a reader and close family member on board, and while I was panicking, Robin was gracious and reassuring! Hamilton Hall helped make ours a special and memorable day!

Hamilton Hall was perfect; I couldn't be happier! The hall itself is gorgeous and full of history, and the fact that it's a non-profit made us feel even better about giving them our money. Robin was absolutely fabulous to work with, answering my myriad questions in the months leading up to the wedding and handling the day-of coordination perfectly. It was truly one of the best nights of my life, and Robin was a big part of making that happen. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hamilton Hall was amazing. As a lifelong Salem resident, I always knew I wanted to get married there, it is a beautiful venue, and it is full of Salem history. When we went to go look at the venue we first met Robin, the day of coordinator, who ended up being so much more than that. I was able to e-mail her with questions, and her input helped immensely. If I was wondering what to do to to save money or what was a the best thing to do, I e-mailed Robin, and she gave me her input. The reception hall was amazing, It was beautiful, and everything I could have asked for. We got married the first weekend in November, and it was magical. the hall was beautiful. If you are thinking about getting married in Salem, you need to call Robin at Hamilton Hall- you will be happy you did.

We had the most amazing experience with Robin at Hamilton Hall. The hall is beautiful and full of history. It is on a beautiful residential street just outside downtown Salem. It was nice to have the option to have the wedding inside or in the park across the residential street. I cannot recommend this site more highly. Everything went more smoothly than we could have even hoped for. The pictures are fantastic because every room in the building is stunning.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
