This was the perfect venue for my rehearsal dinner, wedding and day after breakfast. Every single penny was absolutely worth it, i had over 200 guests and i was worried of how chaotic the weekend was going to be, BUT the HILTON in the Back Bay is THE WEDDING EXPERT 100%. Their costumer service is superb, from Angela the wedding coordinator who i dealt with constantly up until my wedding to Linda at the front desk who was able to help me out with my different requests throughout my wedding weekend, I think they are phenomenal team AND without them my wedding would have not been the PERFECT memory i will forever keep. They are all professional, personable and respectful to one another and their work chemistry seems to translate well into their daily interactions with vendors(who they dealt with directly), costumers, clients and guests. My rehearsal dinner was also at this location, and i was able to have it at the restaurant. It was a buffet for about 65 people and the food was delicious and it was totally worth it, this was so much easier than having to go elsewhere for another venue to host the rehearsal. Because i enjoy commodity, i hosted a breakfast the morning after the wedding and it was the best DECISION i made because i was able to talk to some of my guests that i wasn't able to talk to the day of my wedding.

I would definitely recommend this Hotel for any wedding needs, all of my needs and expectations were met and it doesn't get much better than that!

The wedding packages at the Hilton Boston Back Bay were a great value. You got so many things included in the package, wedding cake by local bakeries, parking for guests, two night stay for you, the list goes on and on. There were so many options for the menu and the food tasted fantastic. Our guests loved the 3 course meal plus cake. The staff at the Hilton Boston Back Bay were amazing! They were attentive and receptive to all of our needs and concerns. The events management team were organized and efficient. Erin quickly responded to any emails or phone calls. Roberto attended to all of our layout and organizational concerns before and during the wedding. Marc was an amazing head waiter. He was always by our side for whatever we needed but was completely unobtrusive. He even came outside with us during pictures to make sure everything went smoothly. We and our guests cannot say enough good things about the Hilton Boston Back Bay and the staff there. All of the staff from the door person, front desk staff and everyone in between were perfect! They made our wedding an amazing unforgettable event!

I can not say enough wonderful things about Jocelyn and her team at the Hilton Boston Back Bay. In addition to our wedding, we had a Welcome Reception for our out of town guests the night before and a brunch the morning after our wedding for everyone who spent the night. All three events went off without a single hitch and the food was AMAZING. It's been nearly a month and I am still getting compliments on it! Jocelyn responded to all of my inquiries, no matter how small or large promptly and efficiently. The wedding pacakge is reasonably priced and exceeded all of my expectations. I absolutely recommend the Hilton Boston Back Bay.

Jocelyn did a wonderful job helping me plan and coordinate my wedding on 8/14/10. Everything went so well, and I wasn't stressed because I knew she'd have everything ready. Over the course of a year, I would correspond with her and she would answer the many questions I had on the venue and services. She is extremely helpful and a great listener.

The venue is in a great location of Boston. We had 116 people (16 of which were kids) and the space was perfect. There was a room adjacent to the ballroom which we turned into a children's activities room. It was perfect and everything flowed smoothly. Many of our guests commented on how great the food was!

The honeymoon suite was gorgeous! What a great view of Boston. The size was perfect for day of beauty services and hosting some guests for an after party or morning after breakfast.

Everything was wonderful and ran smoothly the day of the event. We did not have to think of a thing, as everything was taken care of for us. Guests raved about the food and the cake. Jocelyn did a great job helping us make our wedding turn out just the way we wanted it to be.

I cannot thank the team at the Back Bay Hilton enough; everything was even better than I imagined it would be. Jocelyn, who coordinated the event, was very easy to work with and left me confident that every last thing would be taken care of... which is was. I went into my wedding day stress-free because I knew she had it all under control, and the reception itself was absolute perfection. EVERYONE had a great time... so much so that the party continued on downstairs at Forty Dalton (the bar/ restaurant) for a few more hours. That's the sign of a good party! I would recommend the Back Bay Hilton to anyone planning an event in Boston.

This location is fabulous! I got married on April 25th and I'm so happy I picked this place! First of all you can not get this kind of deal anywhere else! for what they include in the package, you would think its gonna be upwards of $250 a person. They include everything! A suite for the bride and groom, cocktail hour, a four course meal and a cake! Jocelyn Della Rosa who is the catering manager was fabulous! She would email me almost every day to keep in touch and let me know what was going on. She helped me customize my menu, arrange travel plans for my family, and held my hand when I got nervous! She took care of everything the day of wedding so that I didn't have to think of a thing. Anything I needed, she did. Nothing was too much. The best part of this Hilton is that you feel you are getting personal attention. There was always a prompt phone call back and just a general excitement for me! Also for those of you who haven't stopped in to the hotel in a while it is beautiful. they have totally redone the entire lobby. It is so classy! I had all my family coming up from New Jersey so it was nice that they could have a place to stay as well and so convenient to the city. Everybody could explore Boston without having to navigate the T or a cab. The one thing I was nervous about was the food. Usually hotel food is not that great but the food here is outstanding. I had multiple comments on how great the food was. Plus we ordered our cake from Montillo's through them. We ordered Red Velvet and my maid of honor said it was the best cake she has ever eaten.

I would chose this place again and again. Truly made my wedding wonderful!

Really great experience. Switched vendors after booking Charter Oak Country Club in Hudson which was the furthest you could get from accomodating. This vendor was everything we needed and more
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
