Get married here. Seriously. You will not be sorry you chose the Commander. Judy, the events manager, is the most amazing person. She helped us through every step of the process, had great ideas, was super responsive, and was an overall delight to work with. Now that my wedding is over, I'm a little disappointed that I won't be able to hang out with her any more! The staff at the Commander were consistently friendly, attentive, efficient, and just so nice! From bellhops to waiters, everyone rocked! And the food! The food is outstanding! Over 140 meals were served on time, with no guests waiting around. I'd recommend the devils on horseback for cocktail hour. The Commander only takes one wedding at a time, and it shows! The hotel itself is beautiful, with lots of historic touches and a George Washington theme. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. You can't beat the location in Harvard Square, 5 minutes from the T. My favorite banquet rooms are the Lexington and Concord rooms with amazing original windows, which is where we hosted brunch. So many guests kept coming up to the groom and I to tell us how much they loved the food, the staff, and the hotel. I cannot sing the praises of the Commander loud enough!

Built in the 1920's just before the Great Depression, this building has gorgeous Art Deco detailing, right down to the correct color palette for the era it was built. This hotel has a lot of drama, glamour and opulence! It has a beautiful entrance lobby, and ballrooms for ceremony, reception and cocktails. The great thing about this venue is all of your guests can stay right on location, and you're right in the heart of Harvard Square in Cambridge. I can imagine a black tie affair that would play off of the hotel's gorgeous color palette with lots of feminine details to evoke that same rich elegance! Judy Brillhart and her team of wedding specialists at The Commander are fabulous to work with. Thank you, Judy -- I look forward to working with you and your clients on many more events to come! -- Darcy Hammer, Owner of Le Reve Floral Design
