She is kind, welcoming and very professional. What really sold us on the Essex Steam Train facility was the Coordinator Pam Amodio. The Essex Steam Train River Valley Junction Hall and Oliver Jensen Gallery is the only venue that we visited that could COMFORTABLY accommodate my daughter's 125+ guest and still have room for a dance floor andīar/hors d' oeuvres area. When we arrived, the wedding coordinator explained that they based that on the fact that most of your guests would be "hanging outside". We looked at one option who said (prior to our visit) that they could seat 125 guests. Ilable or had advertised themselves as being able to accommodate a lot more guests than they could comfortably fit. Speaking of cocktail hour - it was like a garden party - beautifully done! And tons of food too! Our day was absolutely perfect and we cannot thank Meredith, our planner, and the staff at the Essex Steam Train enough!! Our guests are still raving about the venue and the food. The venue is so incredibly unique - it’s a functioning train station! Our photos really stood out against the backdrop there - pictures between the rows of trains were breathtaking! Our bridal suite was actually a renovatedtrain car which was so cool and beautiful and provided plenty of space and they also allowed our guests to board a dinner car during cocktail hour. The space looked amazing and they added so many upgrades throughout the 10 months we were planning - more lights on the ceiling, gold chiavari chairs, outdoor lighting - all things that just added to the ambiance. (For the record both planners were amazing, the first one just left for a new opportunity!) We had a larger wedding than most of the parties that take place there and they were able to accommodate our guests and provided extra bars to make sure that there was never a huge line.
