Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a venue partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Our wedding at The State Room this August was beyond incredible. From our very first tour, we knew this venue was something special, and it exceeded every expectation on our big day. The space itself was breathtaking for every moment — from our ceremony to the cocktail hour and reception, each one offering beautiful views of the city and Boston Harbor. The food was outstanding, the service truly top-notch, and our guests are still raving that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had and one of the most stunning venues they’ve ever seen. A huge thank you to Jenna, our Event Specialist at The State Room, who was an absolute dream to work with. Her warmth, professionalism, and attention ...

As a wedding photographer, I recently had the pleasure of shooting a wedding at The State Room Boston and I must say, it is a spectacular space. From the moment you walk in, the breathtaking views of the city and the elegant decor set the tone for a truly magical day. The venue's spacious floor plan and floor-to-ceiling windows provide ample opportunities for stunning photo ops. The natural light that floods the room is just perfect for capturing those intimate moments between the bride and groom, and the high ceilings allow me to get creative with my angles and shots. The staff at The State Room Boston is exceptional and always goes above and beyond to ensure that everything runs smoothly...

This venue 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!

Very nice place for an event. The space is top notch and the views are to die for. It has views of the city that are unmatched. It's a great place for weddings, party's, corporate events, etc... You really can't have a party in the city with a better view. The photos I posted should get the point across. I highly recommend this place for any event where you want to have a serious impact and make incredible memories.

As a wedding photographer, you cannot beat the State Room for so many reasons! It has the absolute best views in Boston. The Longwood team is always completely helpful and friendly the entire wedding day. Plus, the food is amazing. Most of all, I love seeing the reactions of the guests when they first come into the room. Their jaws hit the floor and you can hear an audible "wow!" from everyone that enters. Such a perfect Boston wedding venue!
