State Room – Longwood Venues

State Room is the flagship venue of Longwood Events, set 33 stories up atop a downtown Boston skyscraper with 270-degree views of the harbor and the city skyline. It hosts wedding receptions, black-tie galas, fundraisers, award ceremonies and corporate meetings. The clean, contemporary rooms are designed as a blank canvas, flexible enough for setups from trapeze artists to skating rinks. Longwood describes it as the only independently owned special event venue in downtown Boston.

The main Great Room is wrapped in 2,400 square feet of glass and seats about 660 for an event with a program. Combined spaces handle 1,200 or more guests for a flowing reception or around 900 for a seated dinner with dancing. Retractable walls split off two smaller salons for about 250. Cityside, with eight windows overlooking the Financial District, seats about 120, and a smaller room seats 18.
