I literally had dreams about getting married here one day, and I got to do just that on August 13, 2022. This is the most stunning wedding venue in the entire city, nobody can convince me otherwise. It looks gorgeous in photos, but you literally can't imagine how breathtaking it is in person.

If the views aren't enough, their events team is next level (particularly Amber). Now bear with me through this part, because there's a reason we're still giving State Room 5 stars (spoiler alert, it's our amazing wedding goddess Amber).

We had a bit of a rocky start after we signed the contract (nothing to do with Amber). We signed the contract in May and then backed off for a bit since our wedding was over a year away. Around October, we were speaking with our florist, and he asked if we knew Carolyn (our former wedding specialist) had left. We didn't and nobody from the venue ever reached out to let us know. I immediately emailed both our contacts there and both people whose emails I had were disconnected and had no email forwarding set up or any message directing me to another contact. I called the venue 3 or 4 times before finally speaking with someone and they let me know both people had left and they'd let me know when we had someone new. I was now trying to plan a wedding (at a not-so-inexpensive venue) with no wedding coordinator.

Cue Amber! A literal angel who just made every wedding dream come true. This really should be a 4-star review, but Amber is so insanely amazing that she leaves me no choice but to make this 5 stars because anything less wouldn't be a fair testament to her. I am the most Type A a person can be and Amber answered every email, call, and panicked carrier pigeon I sent her way. She went above and beyond when we had issues with other vendors or needed last-minute changes that probably weren't even on her to help with.

100% would recommend booking the State Room for your wedding (even despite the challenges) because the staff really is in another league.

Thank you for everything, Amber!!

After the sticker shock of a $30k minimum spend wore off, I realized I was too in love with State Room to pass it up. The venue itself is just absolute perfection & our coordinator Amber was a dream come true. She went above & beyond to make our day amazing; when things weren’t done to her standards or what she thinks I would want, she worked quickly to fix them, never needing to let me know there was even an issue to begin with so I could just focus on the day. Our food was AMAZING, the bar staff was fantastic, & the space was to die for. We will never be able to thank Amber or State Room/Longwood Venues for helping to make our day so memorable!

We knew the State Room had to be our wedding venue the moment we walked in. It has breathtaking views, it is modernly designed, and truly a beautiful space. Additionally, once we started contracting with them, they made it all so easy! They even helped us source special Prosecco for our event. They were also extremely accommodating when we decided to postpone from February 2021 to 2022. We had Amber assisting us leading up to the event and throughout our wedding day. She was responsive, helpful, and truly an expert in her field. We were in great hands with Amber on our special day and everything went off without a hitch! We are so grateful to the State Room and their staff for making our wedding day perfect.

The State Room exceeded ALL of our wedding dreams! They were an absolute pleasure to work with especially throughout the pandemic and having to postpone our wedding. We are so happy we decided to have our wedding here – from the communication from our coordinator, to the level of service at the wedding, to the delicious appetizers and food (that guests of ours still rave about!), to the absolutely breathtaking views – we couldn't have had a better experience! We would recommend the State Room over and over again to other couples. Still dreaming and reminiscing about that absolutely beautiful day!

I LOVE the Boston State Room as a Boston wedding venue.

I'm writing this review from a different angle. I didn't get married here, but I'm been here over 50 times for weddings. I'm a Boston wedding photographer, and I have the insider view on what weddings are like. The team here is top notch. They are professional, kind, and courteous. You won't go wrong with a wedding here. :)

The coolest thing about it are of course, those panoramic views from up high while still being able to be in downtown city life! It’s remarkable what they offer here- so much detail and care has been put into this space that you can really see how much thought went into creating such an incredible place for your big day or special event. I

As soon as we left our venue tour, we knew no where else would compare. The view alone was enough to win us over but little bit we know we would have the most incredible staff to go along with it. Carolyn was absolutely fantastic from the start of planning through the day. She was always quick to answer all our questions even with the ever changing covid protocols. I can not say enough good things and thank yous. Our bridal attendant the day of was truly a life saver! She made sure my husband and I were taken care of and were always looking our best. She was first to remind him to button his vest for pictures or personally help fix my bustle when it fell. The food was just as incredible as the view. The food, view and staff make for an unforgettable night! I couldn't imagine our day anywhere else.

As soon we decided we wanted to get married in the city of Boston, I knew that the State Room was the only venue I wanted. The team made it easy from start to finish planning our day. The view from the Great Room is reason enough to book this venue. You don't even need serious decor or florals to add to the space because your guests will be too busy looking out the windows to notice anything else. The food was incredible and the space was so comfortable for our 180 guests. Brittany Collins was our coordinator and she made the night run seamlessly. You will not regret booking this venue!

Wow, we had an amazing wedding at The State Room. We toured two of Longwood’s venues and selected The State Room- Harborside Salons for our 85 person wedding on July 27, 2019. We selected this venue for the drop- dead views, professionalism, and fantastic food and beverage choices. Brittany and the team were truly the best throughout the entire process. She kept us updated on any changes, they were even going through a lobby renovation at the time. She made us feel comfortable and informed. The tasting confirmed we chose the right place and as we got closer to the date, Brittany made all the last minute details easy. She communicated with all our vendors and executed drop-off and pick-ups.

On the wedding day, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our attendant made sure we had everything we could possibly need and Brittany kept the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception on time and it all flowed flawlessly. We can’t even count the amount of compliments we received on the venue, views, food, and service. Thank you to the State Room team for an unforgettable experience.

I’ll just start off with saying WHAT A VIEW! The State Room was the first venue we looked at as we started the wedding planning process and the rest of the venues we looked at just couldn’t compare. While we ended up having our wedding in the Great Room the other event spaces at the State Room were just as beautiful and had views to knock your socks off. Once we decided on the State Room, Carolyn walked us through the entire process and made every decision for us super easy. She was very attentive to our needs and helped us have the wedding of our dreams.

The food was incredible. It was near impossible to narrow down the hors d’oeuvres down to 6 from their large list as each one we tried was better than the last. The entrees were to die for as well and cooked to perfection. We also really liked the options that were available for the wedding cake that were outside the regular plain flavors as we ended up choosing the raspberry lemonade.

Carolyn and the rest of the State Room staff helped our special day go off without a hitch. Carolyn was always available whenever we needed to make a change to the plans and created a great, stress free environment during the planning process. We appreciate everything the State Room staff did for us and made our wedding a day we will truly never forget. Again, WHAT A VIEW!!!

We had a tremendous experience at the State Room for our wedding in August, 2018. Once we visited we knew immediately that this was where we wanted to get married, and the experience, from planning to the night of, completely validated that decision. Kristen was our event planner, and did a wonderful job of responding to our (many) questions and requests, and from the tasting to the night of was there for us. The food was delicious, the cake was delicious, the recommended vendors were excellent, and we can't imagine having gotten married anywhere else.
