Colonial Hall - Great Salem Wedding Venue

Michelle Minasian and Ricky Egan were fantastic event coordinators for my wedding planning last year. I appreciated the level of detail we covered - I knew I wouldn't have to remember everything, because they would! They were also super attentive and helpful and made all the planning and logistics a breeze to navigate. Our wedding ended up being super fun and relaxed, and I didn't have to worry about a thing - I was able to just enjoy my night, which is the best thing a bride could ask for! Thanks to both of them for helping make our day so memorable!

Our wedding in Salem’s best venue

Working with Colonial Hall’s Michelle M. was like having our wedding planned with a dear friend of the family. She was professional, responsive, and honest. Due to the pandemic, we had to switch our date 2 times. Michelle calmly helped us navigate this process with great care. When we finally got to our wedding. it was the best party of the year. My family still talks about that day. The food, drinks, and staff were amazing. My husband and I had a brilliant time exchanging vows and making cherished memories with our loved ones. It was worth the wait. We returned to Rockafellas on our first anniversary last Sunday. We were greeted by the staff with the same warmth we encountered with Michelle. To top it off, the manager stopped by with well wishes and two complimentary glasses of champagne. I would highly recommend Colonial Hall to any newly engaged couple.

Colonial Hall was our dream venue

I cannot say enough good things about Colonial Hall. All of our dreams were surpassed and our guests are still raving about our wedding to this day. The food was amazing, décor was perfect, staff was so helpful, atmosphere was romantic and the coordination was extremely helpful. We stayed at the hotel Salem with our whole wedding party and had our rehearsal dinner right in Rocakfellas! It was a perfect weekend that we will never forget!
