We had a more non-traditional wedding, so it was great to be able to work with this venue. They allowed us to bring in any (licenced) vendors we wanted and were able to DIY a lot of things that others need to do through a venue or vendor, since they opened the space to us from noon that day. The venue hardly needed any decorations as it is stunning on its own. Very classic Boston inside and out. Carole was great to work with, we were planning the wedding from abroad and she was very flexible, she met with a friend I sent over and came into the city to meet with us on her day off because it was the only day we could on a trip to the US. For sure worth checking out if you are interested in doing something a more custom, since you can really make the place your own!

What a great place this transformed into the day of our wedding?! Such a unique venue, with so much space in great location is hard to find. You add lighting and wedding decor and this becomes a truly classy venue that will have your guests talking. We got so many compliments on this venue. The main hall was spacious for a nice cocktail hour and open bar, and the ballroom was very warm and the ideal place for the reception. This room has great acoustics, nice layout, enough place tables and dancing and it has an overall class feel.

Our co-coordinator, Jaime, was THE best. She is responsive, flexible, and more importantly reliable. Having her provided so much peace of mind. Excellent venue resulted in a great wedding.
