We had an absolutely beautiful, elegant and memorable wedding at Tuckerman Hall in October 2022. This incredible historic building is the epitome of elegance, and the perfect size to host our 120 guests. Paul and Adrian were incredibly easy to work with and so accomodating. Their detail oriented approach to coordinating all the vendors and ensuring we've thought of everything made working with them an absolute delight.
Their staff were professional, helpful and ensured I had anything I needed (even when I didn't realize I needed it). They had a great working relationship with all our vendors and that made deliveries so smooth. Beyond the incredible team the venue itself is exquisite. The stunning hall was a dream to have our first dance in, and we loved showing off this beautiful building to all our family and friends.
As the bride I also had the priviledge to enjoy the Bridal Suite throughout the day, which made a perfect place to get ready. Since they only host one wedding per weekend we were never rushed or set to tight schedules; we were able to collect our items (which they had gathered for us) on Sunday at our convenience. We cannot recommend Tuckerman Hall enough to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue. Many thanks to Paul, Adrian and their phenomenal team.

Tuckerman Hall is a timeless venue, not only is it unbelievably beautiful but the staff make sure that your wedding goes off without a hitch! Paul and Adrian are the coordinators at Tuckerman Hall and they provide incredible value. They are there every step of the way for planning and are truly talented at what they do. They take pride in every aspect of your wedding and are always willing to lend a hand to ensure that your day is truly special! We have gotten so many compliments on how special Tuckerman Hall and our wedding was!

We originally had our wedding reception booked at a county club but after looking at Tuckerman we decided to make the switch and it was the best decision I ever made. Aside from the venue being absolutely breathtaking, Paul and Adrian were the ones who made the process as easy as possible. For us the best feature was the bridal suite upstairs. Its a beautiful space that made getting ready a breeze with a large group.
The venue has so much charm that every corner there is a place you want to photograph. The night was perfect and there is not one thing I would change. Paul and Adrian are the dream team that will not disappoint and without their help we would have been lost! They are the definition of professionalism and have a true passion for what they do. If you want a magical wedding definitely choose Tuckerman.

Our wedding reception was held at Tuckerman Hall on 6/1/19, following a Church ceremony. Cocktail hour was downstairs in separate room, and the guests entered the spectacular main area for dinner and dancing. Throughout the entire wedding planning process Paul and Adrian worked closely with us to ensure the day would go just as we hoped. They focused only on our wedding all weekend, and we had access to the Hall from Friday through Sunday, so there was no rushing on the wedding day to bring things to the venue etc. Additionally, there is a stunning bridal suite on the top floor where my bridesmaids and I got dressed, had breakfast/lunch, and prepared for the day! Paul and Adrian made sure that entrances, dances, cake cutting etc all happened on time and smoothly.
They also keep the hall in excellent shape - every corner of the building is clean and has clearly been cared for and kept up over the years. Down to the chiavari chairs which are in pristine condition also. Tuckerman Hall is a perfect venue for a timeless, beautiful wedding.

Tuckerman Hall, the best kept secret in Central Mass, is the most gorgeous wedding venue around. Tuckerman boasts high ceilings, beautiful columns, lovely flooring, and a wonderful stage for a chuppah and grand piano as part of the ceremony. Paul and Adrian, managers at Tuckerman, were easy to communicate with, worked very hard to ensure our day was perfect, and know how to ensure a successful wedding takes place.
I was worried about having to individually hire all the vendors (i.e. catering, etc.) but no worry was needed. Everything went off without a hitch and Paul & Adrian spoke to all the vendors on my behalf to ensure everything was ready to go. Adrian goes above and beyond - all of my table numbers came in broken and he fixed all of them by hand. Their attention to detail is top notch.
The day of the wedding we didn't worry about anything and had the most lovely, enjoyable day of our lives. We were so happy to have the whole day in one place - getting ready, ceremony, cocktail hour, and the best party I've ever thrown. The venue has multiple suites for the various bridal parties to get ready in and wonderful spots for pictures.
I really loved taking photos on the balcony and outside the venue in front of the columned entrance. Tuckerman hands down is the most beautiful venue around and I unequivocally recommend it to all future brides searching for their dream wedding venue.

We held our wedding reception at Tuckerman Hall in April 2018. The place is absolutely breathtaking. Paul and Adrian who run the events were great. They were available, accommodating and communicated well with us, our vendors and guests. We were able to get in the day before to drop off and set up some things. There is big bridal suite which is perfect for getting ready.
The boys had their own separate space a few floors down to get ready. I did not worry about a thing the day of the wedding. It was, truly, the best and most fun day. I am so happy I went with Tuckerman Hall.

Tuckerman hall is an amazing wedding venue. Paul and Adrian went above and beyond making sure we had the perfect day. From the very first meeting with Paul we felt like we were taken of. First of all, they only do one wedding per weekend so their time and effort was dedicated to us from when we arrived and dropped belongings off on Friday to Sunday morning when we were able to pick up everything from the hall from the night before.
This was important to us as we didn't want to feel like we were rushed out. They thought of details that never would have even crossed our mind and made sure that everything was in place. While we were hesitant about having to select each individual vendor, we were given a list of vendors that had worked at Tuckerman hall and with Paul and Adrian which really made it feel like a cohesive "team." The day of our wedding they made sure that the time schedule we had created was followed and everything went smoothly and flawlessly thanks to all of the running around that they did.
The venue itself is beautiful. All of our guests commented on how impressed they were with the building. The acoustics were great but volume was controlled so older folks weren't overwhelmed by the music. The bridal suite was a huge selling point for us as well. The bridesmaids got ready in the suite which included a mini kitchen equipped with a fridge, coffee machine, dishwasher, full bath (huge shower with towels), and multiple full length mirrors.
Our hair and makeup artists loved working here and were impressed with the number of outlets and mirrors. Our photographers loved the building as well. The lighting, various rooms, and architecture made for some amazing photographs. Finally, the location is great. It is right across from two hotels (about a block away) and close to many after party spots.
We planned an after party at the Fix and guests were able to walk there after the reception and stop by the hotel to change if needed. Overall we had zero complaints about the whole weekend and our guests only had good things to say. We would highly highly recommend this venue and working with Paul and Adrian.

This is the opposite of those wedding factory venues that crank out 3, 4, 5 weddings a day. They give you their time, full attention, and care more about making your wedding experience unique than turning the place over multiple times on a weekend. Paul worked with us and our caterer to sort out every little detail, and.

Tuckerman hall is one of the most beautiful buildings in Worcester. This was the first venue that we visited and we fell in love with it immediately. We did not have to visit any other venues and put down a deposit immediately. The building is perfect for weddings for both the ceremony and reception and needs little to no decoration because it is so ornate.
All of our guests were amazed by the building. Many of our guests are from the Worcester area and knew about Tuckerman but had not been inside and were so happy that they were able to be there. Adrian and Paul at Tuckerman are just as amazing as the building. Our wedding had zero issues and we felt no stress because they worked so hard to plan for and manage the night.
We were the only wedding the entire weekend and we had access to the building to practice our first dance, drop off supplies, and rehearse any time we wanted. Working with Paul and Adrian was great because they were so thorough and thoughtful. They ensured that everything worked out perfectly and it was exactly what we wanted and envisioned for our wedding.
The emphasis was always on us and they did such an amazing job that we really just had to show up. We never once had to worry about any of the vendors or the setup. Paul and Adrian communicated with everyone and managed everything exactly how we wanted things. They were so attentive even to the little things that I always had a full cold glass of Guinness on my table.
We both highly recommend and encourage people planning their wedding to check out Tuckerman Hall. Our night was the epitome of magical, and neither of us would change a single thing.

I can say nothing but amazing things about my experience with Tuckerman Hall! My wedding on October 8, 2016 went off without a hitch. I've heard compliment after compliment about the venue and how beautiful and unique it was. We had a fantastic experience with the staff as well. There's no need for a day-of coordinator when working with Tuckerman.
They take care of every detail and help to keep the festivities moving. Adrian and Paul made sure that our wedding day was perfect and I can't recommend Tuckerman Hall enough! If you're looking for a venue that will "wow" your guests and keep you worry-free throughout your day, this is the place!

We selected Tuckerman Hall as our venue of choice for our wedding and we could not have been happier! We looked at 10+ venues during our initial search and it was clear upon arrival that Tuckerman Hall was the space for us. Not only is the venue beautiful, it comfortably accomodated our 150 guests and the service was terrific. Paul and Adrian know their stuff and they made everything very easy for us -- from recommending ceremony musicians to local florists to caterers, and they even took care of the lighting.
Their prices are fair and as wedding coordinators, we could not have asked for better. We received numerous compliments from our guests that the wedding was one of the best they've ever attended and we have Tuckerman Hall to thank for that. The location was perfect, the service was stellar and the event went off without a hitch. There's no doubt we'd recommend Tuckerman Hall to others for their future events!

Tuckerman Hall is an absolutely beautiful place to have a wedding ceremony and reception. Many of my guests commented on how phenomenal the hall looks! The event coordinator, Adrian Parker, is a man with a plan! He has a knack for details and gets things done efficiently and seamlessly. As an over-planner myself, I do wish we had met him a little. earlier to go over some of the finer details sooner, because it felt like we were making some last minute adjustments to the plans I had been working on for months!
But I think he was right about everything he recommended so I'm glad I trusted him! Both he and the director, Paul Levenson, were very accommodating and professional. They responded immediately to any questions or concerns. They worked hard to make my vision come to life and executed a very classy event. Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Tuckerman Hall on August 16, 2014 and could not have picked a better venue! From the moment we stepped inside and saw how beautiful the main hall is, we knew it was the perfect venue to have our wedding. Paul and Adrian were so easy to work with and made it their priority to make our event perfect and accommodate our every need the day of the wedding.
Their attention to our event and every detail it entailed is what every bride and groom wants for their wedding. We had a band for our reception and they sounded phenomenal in the acoustics of the hall. Tuckerman Hall is truly a beautiful jewel to the city of Worcester!

Tuckerman Hall was the perfect wedding venue for us! It is elegant and classy and the owner and hall manager, Paul, really takes pride in the building. Having a personal connection to this place, Paul ensures that everything is taken care of. He was fantastic to work with and his partner Adrian was also great. We were thrilled with how smoothly everything ran and how gorgeous the venue looked!
We had an evening wedding and it was so beautiful at night! It is a great place to hold the ceremony and the reception; having 2 ballrooms allows you to transition from ceremony to cocktail hour and then to reception without being in the same room the entire time. Tuckerman Hall is breathtaking and really sets the tone for a very elegant wedding.

If you are planning to have a wedding at Tuckerman Hall, then I sincerely hope that you don't want to be in charge. Paul Levinson is the executive director/wedding planner. He would not let my fiance and I get one word in during our appointment. He answered his cell phone during our appt. He did his spiel and then told us to call or email him if we had any questions before he swept us out to meet with two ragamuffins on their way in.
He is very full of himself. While I appreciated his attention to detail, I definitely felt that the wedding would be his. It is such a shame because I have dreamed of being married at Tuckerman Hall since I was young. Also, EVERYRHING is a la carte. If you offer wine service and opt for a $5 bottle of wine, you have to pay a TWENTY ONE DOLLAR UNCORKING FEE PER BOTTLE. The prices are so expensive. Go to Mechanics Hall.
