Beautiful venue and great staff!

My husband and I chose Mechanics Hall as our wedding venue because we really wanted a place associated with music and theater (as we met in a theater), as well as a place that could accommodate our larger guest list. We had staff changeover in the middle of the process, but that didn't cause any issues at all in our process. Olivia was amazing to work with, and she did a TON to help our wedding run smoothly. Between communicating & finalizing schedules with our vendors, helping with final table decorations, and helping to usher our 200 guests between locations for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception she was SUCH a huge help. The rest of the staff at Mechanics was top notch, and really went above and beyond for us. We received SO many compliments about how beautiful the hall is, and how it suited us so well. We are thrilled to have picked this location for our wedding, and would highly recommend it to couples looking for larger venues in the area

A Stunning Venue w/ an Amazing Staff

Mechanics Hall was an amazing wedding venue and we couldn't be happier for using them as the setting of our big day. Planning a wedding is hard. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is extremely hard. On top of that, being a same-sex couple, there's more stress because of all the stories you hear about vendors not willing to work with couples due to personal beliefs. We were extremely relieved and happy that Mechanics Hall was welcoming to us and our vision with what we are looking for. We also used a queer performer for our officiant and cocktail hour entertainment. The staff at Mechanics Hall were so careful and conscientious of that person's pronouns and identity. On top of that, everyone that worked the day before and day of our wedding were so accommodating of our needs and were paramount in making the day run smoothly. All of our guests were stunned by the architecture of the venue and how beautiful it was able to become this winter themed event. Even without a functioning kitchen, the event planners were super helpful with providing caterers in the area that are familiar with the venue and are able to transport the food and keep it hot, even on the coldest days (we got married in January, temperature reaching a high of 21 for the day). It's such a unique venue and we couldn't recommend it enough for a wedding.

WOW, where to start for this most terrific & gorgeous historic hall. Plenty of eye candy for those romantic shots, as this hall is a visual gem. Then we'd be remiss if we didn't elaborate on the fact that it is also an often used hall for recording music, so whether you have a full orchestra or a DJ, the acoustics are fabulous. You will be well taken care of with their team of Pro's who will hold your hand through the quick booking process with plenty of assistance to put you at ease. This beautiful hall has plenty of parking and hotel accommodations for your guests so rush on over to take a good look at this amazing venue.

Mechanics Hall has a reputation as a first-class wedding site, and it well-deserves it. It's really a stunning place to host a wedding... Meticulously maintained and gorgeous. Best of all, the staff is warm and professional, and they were very helpful/responsive in getting us comfortable in the space (as a caterer).
