Beautiful Place came for a Elvis show. Good size room, and spaced out. Definitely worth going there for a concert.

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.

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.

We looked at countless venues. The first reason Tuckerman Hall was immediately at the top of our list was the beauty - the architecture is stunning and the space truly speaks for itself with very little additional dressing. The second reason Tuckerman Hall was our number one is because of Paul and Adrian. They CARE about the space and about making. your wedding day special. 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.

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.
