Wedding 10/11/24

We got married there this past Friday 10/11/2024 everything was amazing! Linda was amazing throughout our whole wedding planning process, our wedding coordinators made sure everything ran smoothly the day of, and our wedding attendant day of was amazing! We had so many guests tell us it was the best meals they’ve ever had at a wedding. Our cake by Donna was beautiful and delicious! We are truly so thankful for all of the staff at the society room you guys made our wedding day more magical than I ever could have imagined.

Amazing Time

This venue was absolutely beautiful! It was elegant, sophisticated, and warm. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff was attentive to detail as well as my husband and I during our time there. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and perfect place to say yes to forever with my husband!

Great wedding at the Society Room

From the minute we all walked into the Society Room it was clear this was a special place, very distinct from the others we’d looked at. Our bride-to-be knew immediately that this was the place! Gorgeous old-world setting, elegant and beautiful with all kinds of special touches achieved through lighting, that staircase, and special details. Nothing stodgy or snobby, just beauty!
We attended the meal tasting several months prior to the wedding so knew we were getting amazing food — it lived up to its billing on the big day. Drinks, appetizers, main meal were all delicious and served professionally. The staff was fantastic to work with throughout — although the bride’s mom was absolutely the point person here. My daughter and and I needed to get into the venue on the wedding day to set up flowers on the tables and Linda (and others) were incredibly helpful, opening the back room to us and offering us anything we needed to meet our needs.

Derek Halkett Photography Derek Halkett Photography Wedding Photographers

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!
