A Perfect Wedding at HOB Boston!

If you're looking to host an intimate wedding in a unique space that's loaded with character, Foundation Room Boston is your spot. The special event managers (Madi and Meagan) were incredible to work with and planned every detail of the day- from food, to transitions of the space, to coordination with vendors. The Foundation Room space is truly one of a kind and the colors on the walls and carpets speak for itself- very minimal decoration is needed. The staff was friendly and helpful, food was fun and delicious (lots of Boston-themed options), and pricing was super resonable for the area. Incredible experience all around, a day we will remember forever.

Rock N Roll Dream Wedding

If you're looking for a non traditional venue for your big day with the absolute best staff around, look no further than Citizen House of Blues!

Our party, hosted in the Foundation Room, was absolutely perfect. Incredible staff, the absolute BEST communication possible, and so accommodating for our many requests and questions as we planned this from across the country. The food was outstanding, with so many menu options to choose from at reasonable price points.

Huge shout out to Madi and Meagan for being the absolute best team in the business. Anyone would be beyond lucky to work with them and HOB! A night we will remember so fondly for the rest of our lives.

A Night to Remember!

We had our ceremony and reception at the Foundation Room and it was everything we dreamed it would be!

The House of Blues staff was so so accommodating. Meaghan was an absolute dream to work with for the year leading up to it and she did not let us down at all. She was with us every step of the way, from the time that we toured the venue to very end of the night. She went above and beyond to take care of every detail all day long. I cannot stress enough how incredible of an experience we had working with her. She paid attention to every detail, listened to us and made every little change we asked for. She also coordinated with all of our vendors beforehand and even set up our macaron tower. She truly brought our vision to life and helped us throw the best New Year’s Eve party. The House of Blues staff was on top of table turnovers, quick clean ups, made sure we had everything we needed and were so helpful with set up and clean up. They made it a seamless, worry free night for us.

The food was delicious and our specialty cocktails were even better! Meaghan worked with us to craft tasty specialty cocktails that were a hit with our guests. She also made sure everything came out right on schedule.

The unique vibe of the venue made it feel like an exclusive and intimate party where our guests were free to lounge and dance or hide away in one of the many rooms. The theme set the tone for the party.

It was an absolutely incredible night and we can’t thank this team enough!

Unforgettable Post-Elopement Party at House of Blues Boston MA

We recently had the immense pleasure of working with Meaghan, an outstanding special events manager who helped us organize our post-elopement party at the House of Blues.
The experience was nothing short of magical, and we owe it all to her.

From the very first meeting to the final note of music, Meaghan was the driving force behind an unforgettable evening. She listened to our goals for the event (a very non-traditional party), made suggestions to ensure our wishes were fulfilled. She brought our vision to life in a way that exceeded all our expectations.

One of the most remarkable aspects of our collaboration with Meaghan was her impeccable attention to detail. She was beyond organized and handled every facet of the event with precision and care, from arranging the perfect decor to coordinating with our band and vendors as well as the House of Blues team members seamlessly.

Our guests were not just impressed; they were blown away by the entire evening. The atmosphere was electric, and Meaghan played a pivotal role in creating a night filled with music, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime.

From the lighting and sound, table arrangements, and the delectable catering options, every element of our party was flawlessly executed.

What truly sets Meaghan and the entire team at House of Blues apart is their ability to understand their clients' vision and turn it into reality. Making such a complex event feel effortless is no small feat.

Meaghan's dedication and passion for her work were evident throughout the planning process, and she always made us feel like we were her top priority.

We cannot express how thrilled we are with how everything turned out. Thanks to Meaghan, our post-elopement party at the House of Blues was an absolute dream come true. The memories created that night will be treasured for years to come.

If you're looking for an amazing venue and awesome experience for your special event, with people who can transform your vision into a remarkable reality, we wholeheartedly recommend Meaghan and the team at the House of Blues. Thank you, D & A

Thank you for making our post-elopement party a night to remember!

Highly recommend getting married here!

If you're looking for a unique wedding venue in Boston, this is it! My husband and I didn't want a hotel ballroom wedding, so we searched high and low for something different. We used the upstairs Foundation Room as our ceremony/reception space, and I don't think I have the words to describe how amazing everything was. From the time we contacted Meaghan to inquire about prices and availability to the moment I walked out of the venue at the end of our wedding night, everyone at HOB was incredible to work with. The process of picking our food and drinks package was very simple. Meaghan always stayed on top of every little detail of our wedding. On the day of the wedding, Meaghan and Trista took care of absolutely everything (like making sure our officiant had our vow scripts & rings, setting up our welcome table, making sure our flower girls knew where to wait, making sure we had everything we needed before walking down the aisle, etc. etc.). I highly recommend getting married here!

Our wedding in the Foundation Room @HOB Boston was more then we ever could have imagined.First off-- the room is absolutely stunning and unique. The walls are made of traditional Indian wedding gowns, which was one of the things that sold me. The room is big and open, with a big bar and many different places for guests to sit including oversized couches, booths, and of course the dining area. There are also other rooms the bridal party and guest can hang out in which are pretty cool. There is also an outside patio you are able to rent out (for cheap) which I highly suggest. The patio overlooks Fenway and the city view and scenes are quite spectacular. If you are a Red Sox fan I would recommend booking your wedding on a a game-day!! Our guests tell us it was one of the coolest, most beautiful weddings they have ever been to, and I agree :)
From the first email sent to inquire, to the day of and after the responsiveness, professionalism and willingness to help with whatever we need was always there. We worked with Meaghan primarily and she is so flexible, knowledgeable, and just a down right nice person. Any questions or concerns we had were always addressed promptly and a solution was always found. All of the other staff we dealt with including all of the wait staff, bartenders ect. were stupendous. The quality of service was top notch before, during and after our wedding.
As a little bit of a food snob I have to say the food was AMAZING and surpassed all expectations. We chose to do a more "cocktail-ish party" theme for our wedding with passed apps, then a small buffet with 4 different sliders, lobster/regular mac and salad cups. Everything was so delicious! Our guests still rave about the sliders and mac'n'cheese! All of the passed apps were great too.
Another thing-- you have limitless options for pictures around the venue! Our pictures came out beautiful.
I would 100% recommend the HOB Boston Foundation Room for any event but especially a wedding!!

Our September wedding at House of Blues was perfect. I could not have asked a friendlier and professional staff to work with. Meaghan was so responsive, and I didn't feel overwhelmed once. All of my 200 guests have not stopped raving about the delicious food, attentive staff, and unreal production. I have attended many concerts here, and was skeptical at first, but what they did with the space left me honestly breathless. THANK YOU to house of blues Boston!!!!!!!! We love you

Although it may sound fluffy, I honestly could not have been happier with my wedding at The House of Blues. From my very first contact with Stacey and Erin I was impressed with how accommodating, enthusiastic, and encouraging they were. They genuinely seemed excited to be helping us get everything right, which was icing on an already sweet cake.

We held our ceremony and reception in the Foundation Room - the private club above the music hall - which offers a gorgeous set up (no need to really decorate), separate rooms for people to mingle in, a huge bar, and oversized booths. We did not do a formal, sit-down dinner - something my husband and I were adamant about not doing - and it worked out incredibly well. People spent most of their time mingling, dancing, and having a blast (as I've been told, I was having too good a time myself to even worry about it!).

I cannot emphasize enough how happy I was with the experience. Erin and Stacey took care of a lot of details for us and made any other ones we asked for happen. Everyone I speak with can't say enough about how good a time they had too!

Our HoB Boston wedding experience was absolutely perfect from start to finish.

Our liaison at HoB handled the room, the food, and all the little details that can put any wedding on the rocks. When everything is handled in-house, there's no need to run from caterer to rental company to florist...Stacy had it all locked down before we even showed up.

We had access to the Foundation Room for a rehearsal the night before, and on the day of the event, we, our guests, and our wedding party were treated like rock stars. Bridal Party in the backstage green rooms, groomsmen in the Foundation Room's VIP suite, photos access from the dance floor to ceiling. Literally. We stood on the roof of the club to get shots overlooking the HoB marquee with Fenway Park in the background! You don't get that kind of view at your local hotel ballroom! Our wedding was a once-in-a-lifetime experience at a once-in-a-lifetime space.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Michael Sparks Keegan - Photographer Michael Sparks Keegan - Photographer Wedding Photographers

The House Of Blues/Foundation Room simply rocks. Beautiful venue in an amazing location. Not only is the venue photogenic and unique but it is located right across the street from Fenway Park and within walking distance of many other great photo locations. The staff, both in the office and in the venue, are the best. Helpful, professional and focused on making the day the best for all concerned. You would think that this would be true with all venues but it really isn't. The House of Blues staff from my experience is second to none in a venue that is one of a kind.
