Reviews of The State Room
Our Wedding at The State Room
Tom and Lisa were just a phone call or email away to answer any of our doubts. Lisa was amazing at keeping us on track with all the details - helping us put special touches with the appetizers to make our out-of-town guests feel more included - and she did an amazing job bringing our cake design to life. When Tom wasn’t whipping up dishes in the kitchen, he was our chariot and my wife’s personal escort both to and from the event. We really appreciated their fantastic recommendation of our DJ and loved having a pianist to entertain during the cocktail hour. They’ve assembled a wonderful crew to help make our vision a reality and truly made our wedding worry-free as promised. The value of The State Room cannot be understated!
A real-life fairytale!
We can not begin to express our gratitude for your commitment, hard work, and dedication to make our wedding day a real-life fairytale! We could tell right from the get-go, this was not Tom or Lisa's first rodeo. Their years of experience in the industry was a key component in making our day an absolute success.
Located in steps from the NYS Capitol building, we chose The State Room because of its beauty, character, and history. After meeting Tom for the first time, we were confident we wouldn't need to spend thousands of extra dollars to hire a wedding planner. Tom and Lisa were exceptionally responsive via phone and email for the year and a half leading up to our wedding. We never felt like we couldn't reach out. They were always one step ahead and knew exactly what needed to be done and when.
The day of, Tom was with me (the bride) every step of the way. He drove us to and from the church ceremony and around the city for photos in his picture-esque vintage car (a State Room perk!). Tom was patient, kind, and accommodating. It was a rainy day, but he did his best to keep me happy and dry.
The food at The State Room was out of this world! That may be the number one compliment we've gotten from guests thus far. The wait and bar staff were exceptional. They were friendly and very helpful, especially when it came to packaging up all the leftovers. Tom and Lisa worked very well with our other vendors and all the formalities went smoothly. The overall ambiance of The State Room, especially for an evening wedding, is like no other. We danced the night away! I have had so many of our guests tell us this was the best wedding they've ever been to! Our wedding day was truly magical and we could not have pulled it off without Tom, Lisa, and the wonderful staff at The State Room!
Absolutely perfect reception venue
