Candelario Wedding June 29th, 2024

We got married at the Long Wharf in June! We had an amazing experience. Our event coordinator Olga was amazing and helped us with all the details and it could not have been more beautiful. The space was amazing and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our guests are still raving about how perfect our day was.

We booked the Long Wharf in August 2022 and the whole time we had people reaching out to check in on us. We even visited a year before our wedding and they sent strawberries and champagne to our room. All these little details and effort did not go unnoticed! We are so thankful to the team at the Marriott Long Wharf for making our wedding day feel like a dream come true!

fairytale experience!

We had our wedding at the Marriott Long Wharf October 7 2023 and everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Meg Garruto is a true gem and was a dream to work with! We were actually booked at another venue and after some issues we decided we needed to find another venue and actually booked Long Wharf site unseen. Our original venue not working our was the biggest blessing in disguise. The attention to details and the accessibility to answer any questions we had was above and beyond. There was absolutely no stress in wedding planning thanks to Meg and her team. We also were so impressed with the food! From the cocktail hour to late night snacks everything was perfect. Our guests have been raving about the service and the food for the past week! The location of the hotel and the views are worth booking for alone. If you are looking to book a Boston area hotel for your wedding I would seriously consider booking long wharf before it’s too late! We are already looking into visiting for our one year anniversary (and we are not locals!) because we love the hotel so much!

The perfect venue!

The Marriott Long Wharf was the PERFECT location for our August 2022 wedding.

From our initial conversations with them all the way through the wedding, the events staff were incredibly professional and made us feel so special throughout. We had an extended engagement due to the pandemic, and worked with multiple event planners, but each one was wonderful to work with, and each handoff was handled impeccably. In the final stretch leading up to the wedding, we worked with Alex Garabed (Director Of Event Planning), who was highly communicative, flexible with specific and last-minute requests, and coordinated all of our details and vendors wonderfully. She went above and beyond, leaving champagne and strawberries in our hotel suite at the end of the evening, and ensuring that our floral centerpieces were saved to decorate the brunch space the next morning.

On our wedding day, the service was perfect, the cocktail hour incredible (we highly recommend checking out the Harbor View Terrace), and the reception was amazing. Our guests really enjoyed the uniqueness of the venue and that they had the option of spending time indoors on the dance floor or outdoors enjoying the fire pits and harbor views throughout the reception. The food - from the tasting to the wedding day - was also absolutely delicious. The wedding suite overlooked the harbor and made us feel so special.

From the beautiful venue, to the downtown Boston location near public transportation and many attractions, the comfortable accommodations, and the incredible service we and our guests experienced all weekend, we couldn’t be happier with our choice.

Exceptional location, team and event!

We had an amazing experience working with the Marriott Long Wharf for our wedding, and with our coordinator Olga from start to finish. The team went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it and made us feel very special throughout the planning process and on the day. During the tasting we tried various entrees and they allowed us to swap an element for one of the entrees for the wedding day to make sure it was exactly how we wanted it. The food was delicious, the space is so beautiful and everyone had a great time!

We were so fortunate to work with our coordinator Olga - she is absolutely amazing. We initially had another coordinator who changed jobs ~4 months before our wedding day and Olga took everything over without missing a beat. She is extremely professional, organized, and attentive, as well as being very kind. She was always available to answer our many questions (especially as we hadn’t been to many weddings before and weren’t sure of various details / norms) and responded very promptly offering great guidance. She worked with all of the vendors and managed their logistics in the leadup and on the day. She managed the event seamlessly and thought of all the details - everything went perfectly and we didn’t need to worry about a thing. The rooms and our details were all setup with meticulous care. Thank you so much Olga and the Long Wharf team!!

Amazing service and breathtaking location

Like many couples, our wedding was postponed as a result of COVID. We had an awful experience with our first venue – the Lakeview Pavilion – and decided we would not be going back. In searching for a new venue, we looked into the Boston Marriott Long Wharf and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was to our liking and that we felt valued and special during this important milestone. For example, during the tasting we tried various entrees and were not limited to only 2 choices. The chef and sous chef also came out at each round to tell us about the dishes and hear our feedback. Also, the manager of the hotel came to ensure we were doing well. We felt like celebrities.

This outstanding experience was in large part due to our amazing wedding coordinator Carolina Bermudez. She is exceptional. She was always available to answer our many questions and responded promptly with solutions, suggestions, and positivity. She was a valuable brainstorming partner and provided honest opinions on how to make our day what we had envisioned. She managed the event itself without a hitch, making sure everything was flowing smoothly and that we always had everything we needed. She was like superwoman always anticipating what would be needed next. In addition to her superior skills in coordinating the event, Carolina brought a kindness and joy that made it so wonderful to work with her. She loves what she does and is invested in the couples she works with. We could not have asked for a better partner in planning this wedding. We loved it, our guests loved it and it was perfect.

Best Spot in Boston!

I can't even begin to express how amazing MLW was to work with. Having to postpone our 2020 wedding was so much less stress thanks to how easy they made it. Megan (event coordinator) was there for us at every turn. The guest rooms are spacious, clean, and all have amazing views. The Harbor View Ballroom was so perfect with the attached outdoor terrace. All of the servers were polite and professional. Most importantly...the food was to DIE for! Thank you, MLW, for giving us the wedding of our dreams.

Gorgeous, Convenient and Professional

My family came from out of town so the location was close to the airport and they all took the water taxi. Carolina was our assigned coordinator and she made the process incredibly easy. We couldn't have done it without her. The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were all held here and our pictures were in the park right next door. We couldn't have been happier with how the day went.

My fiancé and I recently held our reception at the Boston Marriott Long Wharf in the Harbor View Ballroom, colubmus day weekend 2016. From the start of our planning when we met with Laura to view the venue and discuss packages, until the day of when Brittany went seriously out of her way to make our day special - everyone was genuinely excited for us. The food was some of the best our guests have ever had a weddings, the lighting was perfect, and frankly I have nothing bad to say. They made me feel like part of the family and each time we spoke they reminded me why I picked the venue. The staff is incredible, the atmosphere is perfect, and the rooms are perfect. We had 110 people in the harbor ballroom and it was PERFECT.

Overall we are so pleased, our pictures are gorgeous and we had a blast. I mean Brittany left the property THREE times for us the day of without us asking. She was so thoughtful and we never noticed if anything went wrong (nothing did). I can't rave enough about this venue and especially the staff. Ask for Laura and Brittany!

I don't know where to begin on this review....I am SO SO happy and pleased that we chose the Boston Marriott Long Wharf as our venue. We had our reception in the Harbor View Ballroom, the room in itself is just beautiful and views from the terrace are just stunning. We were paired up with Christen and she was absolutely amazing answering all of our questions, emails and just making us stress free about everything. The venue came through on everything: room setup, food was amazing, amazing breakfast and all just super easy to work with. All of our guests raved about the venue, the staff and the food. I could not have chosen a better place!! Highly recommended.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We have worked at the Long Wharf on multiple occasions and our expectations are always exceeded. Not only is the location amazing, warm, inviting, and classy - but the staff is super accommodating. We get to observe so many wedding venues, and we always love to see when the people working there take pride in what they do. They really know how to cater to the clients, the couple, and the other vendors they work with.
