This long overdue review cannot fully express how incredible our experience was at The State Room.

We waited over 17 years to get married, and nothing we dreamed up over the years came close to the unbelievable day we had. Tom, Lisa, and everyone at The State Room made our day absolutely magical. Over a year later, our guests still tell us it was the best wedding they've ever been to. The food was endless and amazing, the room is so beautiful, and the people there know exactly how to make a memorable event. Everything we planned was carried out perfectly. If you're considering The State Room, don't hesitate, this is the perfect wedding venue.

Wedding 10/19/24 absolutely perfect!

Our review is long overdue, but don’t let our delay stop you from picking The State Room. Tom, Lisa, and the staff treated us like family during the planning portion and like royalty the day of the wedding! We were very picky about the venue choice and The State Room exceeded all expectations. From the food, drinks, details, nothing went unnoticed by this team! Every single guest at our wedding continues to rave about our night. Although it was a night about us, we wanted our guests’ fun to be priority and their bellies to be full and The State Room did just that!

A dream come true

The State Room gave me the most magical day of my life—my wedding was everything I dreamed of and more. Tom and Lisa, I can’t thank you enough. Your professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made all the difference, and I’ll never forget the care you and your amazing staff put into every moment.

The food was phenomenal, the cake from Coccadotts was both stunning and delicious, and the pianist brought such an elegant touch. And let’s not forget the open bar—our guests are still talking about it! You made the entire experience seamless and unforgettable, and I will be singing your praises for the rest of my life.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
