The Society Room’s sweeping staircase flows down from the 3,000 square foot balcony, providing a dramatic focal point for grand entrances and photographic opportunities. Marble, limestone, brass and bronze accents adorn the opulent ballroom in a setting right out of the Great Gatsby.
The perfect backdrop for an upscale city wedding, The Society Room of Hartford is located in the heart of one of New England’s oldest and most iconic cities. From weddings and private parties to corporate events, holiday parties, anniversary celebrations, christenings, bar and bat mitzvahs, black tie events, and more, the Society Room of Hartford is Connecticut’s most luxurious venue.
Although my fiancé and I are still waiting to have our wedding due to covid, the Society Room has been nothing short of amazing with their customer service. We have had to reschedule 2x and each time has been an extremely easy process. We have had the privilege of speaking with a number of staff members there and one of the owners who has gone above and beyond to talk to us and help calm any fears or uncertainties we have had in these uncertain times. I would highly recommend booking this venue for your big day. The venue itself is breath taking and the food at the tasting was arguably the best food I’ve had at a wedding or mock wedding.
Our goal is to exceed expectations
That’s why our clients can’t stop talking about us
