Best wedding venue!!

Boston Park Plaza is a dream venue! Within days of being engaged, we reached out to Boston Park Plaza to book our date - it was our first and best decision we ever made! We literally only looked one venue as our top choice, and it was Boston Park Plaza. My husband and I got married there December 2022 and we could not have had a better experience and more perfect wedding day! From start to finish Michaela Ross and Chris Shimkus made our planning experience an absolute joy! Michaela was our primary contact and she is so incredibly organized, thoughtful, kind, professional, and incredibly helpful on every aspect of wedding planning. She is extremely responsive, clear, and concise in her communication and that was invaluable to us. The team at BPP is always available on the other end of an email or phone call. I will honestly miss the planning process because they made it such a pleasant and fun experience! The venue itself is STUNNING. Being in the Ballroom makes you feel like royalty. Upon entering our reception in the Grand Ballroom, we could hear all of our guests literally gasp in awe of how beautiful the space was! My husband and I along with our guests were so impressed on every level with Boston Park Plaza. The food, the beauty, the high quality service – everything exceeded our expectations. We had every part of our wedding on site at Boston Park Plaza – room block, welcome drinks, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and everything went so smoothly! There is something to be said about having the ease of everything under one roof, and Boston Park Plaza is the perfect spot! We are so happy with how everything went and we would recommend BPP to everyone in search of the perfect venue! Thank you Boston Park Plaza!!

10/8/2022 Wedding day was so special!

From the moment we met with Kelsey Wilkinson in August 2021 we knew no other venue would do for our special day. Kelsey made the entire process enjoyable & stress free. She was always so calm & reassuring that I had zero worries/concerns about the venue delivering what they said they would. Kelsey was always on top of every detail & incredibly responsive. On the day of my husband & I decided to attend the cocktail hour & Carol made sure that everytime she came out with hors d'oeuvres she made a beeline to me to assure I ate. When it was time for dinner Reggie not only remembered us from our tasting months prior but was super attentive to us making sure we were happy with our meal & our cups were never empty. Chef was so kind to remember my FIL's weird obsession with needing tortillas with every meal & made some for him! The entire staff at Boston Park Plaza were such a pleasure to work with & made our wedding day so special. It was absolutely perfect & happened without any snags (still can't believe it went so well). All of our guests were impressed & very happy. Thank you!!!

Lovely venue & team at Park Plaza

When my husband and I began looking at venues in Boston we knew we wanted a space large enough to fit 200 guests and a venue that felt elegant and timeless. During our tour with Kelsey Wilkinson at the Park Plaza we not only fell in love with the ballroom but also with Kelsey!! She shared that a date in October just opened up (7 months from then) and she would help us every step of the way to achieve our dream wedding in such a short time! Kelsey did NOT disappoint, she helped coordinate our ceremony in the Georgian room, the cocktail hour, reception and our Sunday farewell brunch. She was extremely responsive and worked closely with us to curate the bar and food selection to meet our unique and specific needs! 2 months later we are still receiving phone calls from guest raving about the cocktail hour carving station, lamb lollipops, and sushi station! No detail was overlooked, Kelsey even setup mirrors and high chairs in our bridal suite. Overall the staff was wonderful, by the end of the weekend we felt like we knew them for years. As a bride I wasn’t bothered once throughout the day about anything, the vendors we assembled plus Kelsey and the Park Plaza team truly achieved what we thought was impossible in 7 short months!
My ONLY feedback is we heard from some guests staying at the hotel that they didn’t receive their welcome bags. A little pro tip: if you choose to stay in the Garden Suite (which is STUNNING) to work with your reservation expert to assign either your bridal party or family to the 3 other rooms on the 4th floor if they’re available! And if you need a gorgeous spot for a first look with family or friends the Garden Suite patio is a perfect spot! Thank you Kelsey and the Park Plaza for a weekend we will never forget. We can’t wait to visit for our 1 year anniversary!

Best venue in Boston

We got married at the Boston Park Plaza on September 23, 2022 and I would recommend this venue a million times over. Michaela could not have been nicer and so easy to work with. Everything went so smoothly during the whole process. From the tour to see the venue to all the little details of the day, it would not have ran like it did if it weren’t for all the staff at the hotel. My guests were so happy with the service they received and how accommodating the hotel was to anything my husband and and I requested to have on our special day.The hotel truly made our day memorable. Their wedding packages are customizable, anything we asked for we were able to have. The ballroom is amazing your guests will be in awe the moment they open the doors!

The most incredible venue

The Boston Park Plaza was the most amazing venue my husband and I could have asked for! From start to finish, everything was perfection! We knew immediately after meeting with Michaela that we were in good hands— and we weren’t disappointed! Michaela is responsive, attentive to detail, and an expert at ensuring everything goes smoothly to make your wedding day perfect!

Absolutely perfect.

The Boston Park Plaza was the perfect location for our wedding. With many of our guests traveling in from out of town, the hotel’s location could not have been more convenient for those traveling by plane, train, subway, and car. The location in the Back Bay also provided accessible activities and restaurants for guests to fill down time with. We held a welcome reception the night before our wedding in The Square and after our ceremony we had cocktails and dinner in the Grand Ballroom. Our guests are still talking about how many jaws dropped when the ballroom doors opened up between cocktails and dinner! Dinner was delicious (can’t go wrong with the menu options) and arrived hot to each guest - an impressive feat for a reception of 200 people!
We worked with Michaela who was the perfect wedding coordinator for us as she was extremely detail-oriented, punctual, and responsive. She was on top of every tiny detail, offered advice when we needed an opinion, ensured nothing slipped through the cracks, and always provided us with the explanations and paperwork we needed. She was so easy to work with and made our planning enjoyable, and the same can be said for the entire staff at the Boston Park Plaza - especially the room block team, who was so patient with us as we expanded our block a few times!
If you want a well-organized wedding at a beautiful and convenient location, the Boston Park Plaza is the venue for you!

A Magical Day

We can’t say enough amazing things about Thr Park Plaza! We had a beautiful wedding on July 9th. Our guests are still talking about it. The Park Plaza is so beautiful. The ballroom is breath taking! The service was amazing. It was elegant but also really fun! Our wedding coordinator helped us so much! When we arrived to check in she met us in the lobby and quickly organized us and set our minds at ease. She was amazing. The food was delicious! Every detail was taken care of! We are so grateful to have chosen Patk Plaza for our special day.

A fabulous experience

Kelsey Wilkinson is a rockstar. I have never felt more comfortable with a vendor rep in my life. She was on top of everything and by the end it felt like she was part of the family! So organized and thoughtful. Don’t lose her! We loved the PP and the beautiful ballroom, but Kelsey made it all come to life. I would recommend the PP to others solely based on Kelsey!

The absolute best venue

I could write a 10-page essay about how amazing Boston Park Plaza was as a venue. When we got engaged my husband and I decided we really wanted a hotel ballroom wedding, I feel like we went to every hotel in Boston, then we’d make a pros and cons list and discuss if we can overlook the cons. When we went to Park Plaza, we walked out of our first meeting with Michaela looked at each other and both said “there are no cons to this place” and never looked back. Being a covid bride I did have to switch my date and the team at Park Plaza was so responsive and understanding they gave us a ton of options and switched our date with absolutely no issue, they also helped accommodate our ever-changing room block because we didn’t know how many people to expect during the time.
Not only is the whole feel and look of the ballroom and hotel absolutely incredible but Michaela Ross, the event manager, was beyond amazing, an actual super hero, she understood my vision and executed everything exactly how I wanted and gave helpful recommendations, she was never pushy or judgmental and any question I had she responded right away. We built a giant flower wall and Michaela helped us put it all together, she checked in with me throughout the entire night making sure everything was going well, I absolutely love this girl. The chef there was just top notch every one, still now 3 months later, raved about the food and how it was the best food they ever had at any event ever, they could not get over how every side and course was freshly prepared and still warm. Boston Park Plaza was the best choice, they really gave me the wedding reception of my dreams and I could not have been happier with everyone who made my day so special.

We had our wedding at Park Plaza in Fall 2017 and it was AMAZING! The ballroom is absolutely stunning and the service our 180 guests received was top notch for our big day! Special thanks to the planner Adrianna for working alongside us for a year to plan and execute every detail perfectly. We wanted to customize almost all of our wedding elements and Adrianna helped create a custom menu, donut/dessert display and was essential in almost all of the design aspects such as rental furniture, lounge & SO SO much more! . My husband and I are very grateful we had someone like Adrianna to make our vision come to life! We had our entire wedding on site at Park Plaza (ceremony in Georgian, cocktail in Ballroom B, reception in Grand Ballroom) and a room block for our family and friends. It all worked seamlessly! It also rained on our wedding day and it didn't even matter because not only is the ballroom beyond beautiful but the modern renovations to the hotel gave us endless options for photos. Thank you Park Plaza and Adrianna for making our wedding day incredible!!!!!! (all photos: Karen Kelly Photography)
