We recently had our wedding and reception at the Hampshire House and couldn't have asked for a better experience. As a same-sex couple, we felt welcomed and celebrated by the entire staff.

The venue truly delivers on its promise of classy, old-school Boston charm. It’s a gorgeous space that feels intimate and timeless. We held our ceremony in the library, which was beautiful. Our guests loved the flow of the night, switching between the different floors of the Hampshire House. We were initially worried the space might feel small for dancing, but that definitely wasn't the case! The dance floor and dining area were the perfect size for our 75 guests. The location directly on the park offers beautiful views and is really easy to walk to from many nearby hotels. The atmosphere was stunning.

A massive thank you goes to our Hampshire House coordinator, Victoria Costa. She was absolutely essential and made the entire wedding run smoothly without us having to get involved. Victoria handled every detail effortlessly, allowing us to be completely stress-free and just enjoy our day. She was incredible! The Hampshire House was flexible with us, and it does not feel like the wedding factory that so many venues feel like these days.

We also have to mention that the food was outstanding---not your typical wedding food at all. The quality was great, and we heard nothing but compliments from our guests. They have some of the best vegetarian options I've ever seen from a wedding venue, too.

Overall, Victoria and the Hampshire House were professional and easy to work with and delivered us a spectacular wedding. We highly recommend the Hampshire House for a classic, beautifully managed event. In addition, the value for the price is fantastic. Look no further!

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at The Hampshire House the Friday before our wedding, and it was absolutely perfect. The food was incredible, we chose the carving stations with turkey and salmon, and everyone raved about it.The quality and presentation were outstanding. The atmosphere was exactly what we wanted. The historic styling of the space created such a warm, elegant vibe, and guests couldn’t stop commenting on how beautiful the room was. After dinner, we opened things up for a welcome party with 120ish guests. The space fit everyone comfortably, it never felt crowded or overwhelming (which we were worried about). It was lively without being too loud, and bartenders kept lines short so no one ever waited long for a drink. The staff on the day was friendly, professional, and made everything run smoothly. During planning, we worked with Sydney, who was amazing. She made the entire process stress-free and painless, and was super fun to work with. She toured both our parents around the venue on separate occasions and made everyone feel excited and well-taken care of. We had our guests stay at the Park Plaza, hosted our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks at The Hampshire House and then our wedding nearby at The Tower. It was a perfect Boston wedding and great for out of town guests if you are wanting to showcase Boston and the historic and beautiful architecture. Many of our guests were from Chicago and also loved seeing the Cheers Bar underneath. Our event was great and we would highly recommend Sydney and the Hampshire House for any wedding event.

We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect venue for our wedding than the Hampshire House. From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how beautiful everything was.

The staff was truly outstanding—professional, attentive, and incredibly kind. Everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy our evening without worrying about a thing. A special thank-you to Brittney, who was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire planning process. She was responsive, organized, and genuinely cared about making our wedding exactly what we hoped it would be.

From start to finish (and beyond), the staff at Hampshire House were incredible to work with. The Director of Sales, Michele Giacomozzi, was patient, knowledgeable, communicative, and helped us to create the wedding of our dreams! The day-of staff (Bartenders, waiters, kitchen, etc.) were all attentive and made the day effortless for my husband and me. Besides the staff, I appreciated how transparent Hampshire House was throughout the process - whether it be about pricing, chair upgrades or kids' meals, they made it easy to budget and understand what was included.

The venue itself was perfection - we absolutely fell in love with the 2nd floor library space when we visited and seeing it on the wedding day was so magical! The library exuded elegance and gave our night a cozy, intimate feel - all our guests loved it and felt it was so perfectly us. The long rectangle tables were great for conversation and left plenty of space for a dance party! Hampshire House is classic & quintessentially Boston; I can't recommend the space enough!

Lastly, but certainly not least, the food at Hampshire House was stellar! Our tasting was so fun, Michele and her team walked us through the whole process and were so patient with us. The food on the day of was incredible and the guests could not stop raving about it! The Baby Lamb Chops in particular were a favorite as were the entrees (Grilled Beef Tenderloin, Lemon Thyme Chicken Breast, and Wild Mushroom Ravioli) and specialty drinks (Paper Plane & Pomegranate Paloma).

I truly cannot say enough good things about our experience with the Hampshire House! Highly recommend!

I had the best experience planning my wedding with Victoria, and the day was everything I wished for and more!

The Hampshire House was an absolutely perfect choice for our wedding celebration. We knew that we wanted someplace with character and history, and located in downtown Boston - Hampshire House was an instant yes when we walked in. The food was incredible and the space is gorgeous. We worked with Sydney and she was amazing - she was so patient and guided us through all of the many decisions we needed to make. We felt like we were in the very best hands with her, and I am so grateful that we got to work with her. She is both very kind and very knowledgable, and was a huge part of the success of our day! Everyone at the Hampshire House is lovely and helpful, and we just feel so happy that we chose them. There were so many beautiful and interesting spots for photos as well. The space looked so beautiful - it gives really old school Boston vibes, and the setting and location cannot be beat. Cannot recommend this venue enough to others who are looking for the perfect Boston spot to get married and celebrate.

My husband and I recently had the perfect wedding reception at Hampshire House, and we could not be more happy about our experience. We wanted a small, intimate, cozy wedding reception, and that is exactly what we got. The food and drinks were delicious, the staff was super friendly and helpful, and we could not be happier with the venue space. We worked with Victoria, and we can not recommend her services enough. She worked with us every step of the way to make sure that our reception was everything that we were hoping for. If you choose Hampshire House for your wedding space you will not be disappointed.

We feel beyond lucky to have chosen Hampshire House to celebrate the most important day of our lives. From the very first photo I saw of the venue, I instantly fell in love.I could immediately envision everyone we love gathered in that warm, elegant space, celebrating together in a way that felt both intimate and timeless. It perfectly captured the spirit of what we dreamed for our wedding: a meaningful gathering with family, friends, and mentors.
From the beginning of our planning journey, Victoria was truly exceptional. Her responsiveness was lightning-fast (even when I packed a dozen questions into a single email!), and she was consistently calm, cheerful, and organized through the often chaotic planning process. I’ll never forget how welcomed we felt when we met her in person for the first time at our tasting. Her kindness, professionalism, and flexibility gave me instant peace of mind that everything on the big day would be taken care of—and it was, and more.
Victoria went above and beyond to accommodate every one of our needs, no matter how small, and her quiet support meant everything when other parts of the planning felt unpredictable. She took detailed notes, followed through on every ask, and always made me feel like our wedding truly mattered to her.
On the wedding day itself, Victoria, Lindsay, and Elissa (apologies if I spelled any names wrong!) were absolute stars. These three incredible women were everywhere—effortlessly managing logistics, adjusting details on the fly, and doing it all with radiant smiles. They handled so many things I could see—setting up our escort card table to look pristine, subtly hiding visual clutter to keep the space beautiful, helping adjust the tone of the pianist’s music to match the mood, even helping us with tech like setting up my phone for the playlist—and I’m sure there were dozens more things they did that we didn’t even notice. That’s the thing about the team at Hampshire House: they care as deeply and attentively as we did. They treated our wedding as something truly meaningful, not just another event on the calendar.
Every detail was cared for, not just the obvious ones, but even the ones we didn’t know to think about. Hampshire House made us feel so seen, so supported, and so celebrated. We will remember their kindness, effort, and magic forever:)

We had both our ceremony and reception at the Hampshire House, and it was truly a magical experience. The beauty of the venue is undeniable, and it was the perfect setting for our 90ish-person quintessential-Boston wedding. What truly set the Hampshire House apart was the exceptional staff. Michele and her team were incredible throughout the planning process, from the delightful tasting to the day-of coordination. The staff, including the cooks, bartenders, and reception team, were all so welcoming and helpful. They made us feel incredibly welcome and helped with every aspect of the planning. We highly recommend the Hampshire House for anyone looking for a stunning venue with a dedicated and caring team!

We had such a great experience with the Hampshire House - we can't recommend them enough! The Hampshire House team was very professional from the initial consultation all the way to our big day (60+ guests). Lindsay, our sales & event manager was such a delight to work with and always responsive and helpful with our questions and needs during the planning process. Michele, our day-of manager was such a calm and effective manager and made sure everything flowed seamlessly. The food and service was excellent and the team do such a great job. We had a magical and joyous time and our guests enjoyed themselves very much.
