Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Your once-in-a-lifetime day deserves a venue to match, and this 1857 concert hall, perfectly placed in the heart of downtown Worcester, certainly fits the bill. Built to impress in the Renaissance Revival style, the building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is considered the nation's finest remaining pre-Civil War music venue—and it's exclusively yours on the wedding day.
- The Great Hall is the venue's centerpiece, and an acoustic masterpiece—meaning it's a great place to dance the night away. Its design is truly magnificent, boasting a soaring, intricately decorated coffered ceiling painted to match the sky, ornate plaster medallions and moldings, Corinthian pilasters, and a balustrade balcony that provides additional seating in plush red velvet chairs with an unencumbered view of the raised stage.
- Additional gathering spaces and a flexible vendor policy provide even more versatility. Washburn Hall offers intimate elegance, adorned with arched windows that fill the space with light, while the Boyden Salon makes a perfect addition to a Great Hall gathering—flanked by a floor-to-ceiling window on one side and the original brick facade on the other, it's perfect for cocktails before the party begins.
