A stunning, historic, dream venue!

HCE and its staff were a dream come true for our wedding! The building itself is stunning and so functional. Karna was a literal lifesaver during the entire wedding process and on the day of - she answered every single one of my many questions with complete transparency, gave us many words of advice, confirmed and double-checked details that I would have completely forgotten, was there to help set up, helped orchestrate the entire day from start to finish, and wasn’t even phased when things went wrong.

We really appreciated everything HCE had to offer, including in-house catering and bar service, Karna as our venue coordinator, rehearsal and ceremony onsite, security, chairs/tables/linens/dinnerware/glassware/silverware (not to mention set up and take down of all these!), use of the entire building, hotel rooms, decor, free and abundant parking... I could go on. We feel so lucky to have found HCE during our venue search, it is a true gem and everything we could have wanted for our wedding day!

Wonderful!

Historic Concord Exchange is a beautiful old building with lots of charm and character, it doesn’t need many decorations which makes a great way to stay in budget. The staff were super polite, helpful and eager to please!

Awesome venue!

We had our wedding reception at the HCE on 7/13/19 and it was perfect! The venue itself is so beautiful and unique, everyone loved it! And Karna (owner/coordinator) is amazing to work with! They have their own chef that will work with any menu you want and the food was DELICIOUS! We also got many compliments on that! There is no food and beverage minimum and they will work with whatever your budget may be! If you're looking for a different/unique venue space with tons of awesome photo opps, I HIGHLY recommend!

Nothing short of Amazing

The Historic Concord Exchange is nothing short of amazing. The venue itself is breathtaking: all of our guests were in awe of the architecture and spaciousness. Lots of great photo opps! The staff makes it super easy to plan the wedding of your dreams- Karna far exceeded our expectations as a coordinator. She responded to questions quickly and always had our best interests in mind. You can tell she wants to help you plan your dream wedding with little stress on your end. The food is phenomenal, we had a hard time deciding on what to offer. Lastly, the wait staff made clean up at the end of the night seamless. Would highly recommend this venue!!

Beautiful, Unique Venue. Wonderful Experience.

We had such an awesome experience having our wedding at the Historic Concord Exchange. We received so many compliments from our guests on the food and the atmosphere.

Our tour of the Historic Concord Exchange was wonderful, Karna was very friendly and professional. The building is absolutely beautiful and has a lot of character which is why it ranks among the top of our possible wedding venues.

Our experience with The Historic Concord Exchange has truly been a pleasure from beginning to end. Karna and Liz were knowledgeable, helpful and amazing every step of the way! All of the staff for our rehearsal and wedding day were extraordinarily warm, welcoming and friendly. Some of the many features that helped us decide on the HCE were the fact that they offer so many services. An amazingly stunning building(that will be all yours the day of your wedding, so you don’t have to worry about sharing spaces with other parties) tables, linens, and china, including a DJ in the contract, offering up to 14 guest rooms for the wedding party to spend the night after the wedding and having in house catering and bars. They basically checked off a lot of the things that we would have had to organize ourselves if we went elsewhere, which that alone is a very big deal. The wedding day schedule was very tight for us and having Karna, Liz and the rest of the staff there to help was a game changer. All of our wedding guests have been complimenting us on having a beautiful and fun wedding, and it would not have been possible without The Historic Concord Exchange.

We had a wonderful experience at the Historic Concord Exchange. We wanted a venue that could accommodate 150-200 guests and could still be budget-friendly. HCE was exactly that place. Food is done in-house and they have a preferred DJ company (Complete) so that helps decrease the number of decisions a couple has to make. Karna, the venue coordinator, really is the gem of this place and its best representative. She was responsive to emails, practical (never tried to up-sell us and actually gave a lot of practical advice from her extensive experience), well-organized, and always willing to go the extra mile. We were planning from afar, and she help accommodate our crazy schedules. We were so impressed with how the day went and the incredible value we got.

Beautiful venue, wonderful staff - they're very helpful in covering everything we need to get done for the big day! The food is delicious, and they were excited to work with us on doing a Sundae bar as opposed to a regular cake - which is wonderful for us! Definitely recommend this venue! They also have a lighting and sound system already built in, which is nice - it's a huge relief to me to not have to shop for a DJ on top of everything else involved in wedding planning!

Update: the reception went off smoothly! the DJ company they work with is wonderful - the DJ really delivered! I had my ceremony at my church, but they offer that option to do both the ceremony and reception at the exchange.

We loved the venue. It was so fun. The food was delicious and delivered to our guests in a timely manner. We brought in our own table decorations the day before and the staff had everything all ready for us. Beautiful historic venue. Very attentive staff.
