  • Micro wedding at Hotel Petersburg

    We hosted a micro wedding at Hotel Petersburg and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The ceremony was held in the beautifully restored Cockade Room, followed by a rooftop cocktail hour and an afterparty in the moody and unforgettable Boiler Room. Every space was stunning and thoughtfully designed. The staff was phenomenal—Erika and Savannah were a dream to work with, making every detail feel effortless. Chef Mina and Chef Wes truly impressed our guests with food that was as delicious as it was beautifully presented. The entire team was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. We also booked a block of rooms for our guests, who found their stays comfortable and memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend Hotel Petersburg for anyone planning a private event—it’s a hidden gem with an unbeatable blend of history, hospitality, and charm.

  • Rooftop event a huge success

    •Amy S.•May 5, 2025

    I hosted a gathering of about 100 people on the rooftop at Hotel Petersburg and it was absolutely wonderful. The staff was attentive and warm, making sure every detail was just right. The food was incredible—beautifully presented and delicious. The hotel itself has been thoughtfully renovated—modern and comfortable while still showcasing so much of the original architecture and charm. And the location couldn't be better—right in the heart of downtown and walking distance to great shops and restaurants. A true gem!
