We just got married at Hotel El Convento on March 2, 2024 and have nothing but amazing things to say! We first toured the venue in November 2023. From that first meeting, we knew it was the venue for us. Nelia spent over two hours with us in that first meeting. The care, attention, and consideration she showed to us in that first meeting never wavered over the next year and a half leading up to our wedding. She consistently was available to us to answer questions, answer emails, and get us any information she needed. She was flexible to work with, professional, kind, and compassionate. She truly went above and beyond to ensure we felt at ease every step of the way. Come our wedding day, this level of service went beyond just Nelia. All of the staff, servers, bartenders, bellhops, front desk attendants - literally everyone and anyone at Hotel El Convento - were amazing. From helping us deliver our welcome bags to guests to ensuring our guests were settled in their rooms to keeping the party going on our wedding night, they all demonstrated what five star service is. We are already planning to return to Hotel El Convento to celebrate our one year anniversary and soak it all in yet again! That should be a testament to how much we cherished Nelia and her whole team throughout not only the planning process but also our wedding weekend.

If you are getting married at Hotel El Convento and get paired with Nelia as your catering manager, you are truly in luck! Nelia is a true professional. She was quick to respond and always provided lots of helpful information. She was one of our favorite people throughout the wedding planning process!
The actual venue itself is gorgeous inside and out. It gives off a very old world timeless charm but can be decorated with any vibe. We had around 115 people which was perfect.
The food is out of this world! We had so many compliments from guests about all the food they enjoyed. They also set aside some appetizers for my husband and I to eat and served dinner to us first which we very much appreciated!

I cannot even believe the incredible experience we had getting married at Hotel El Convento. Everything was just absolutely perfect.

Starting off with the ease of planning everything (even while living in Massachusetts). Nelia was so organized and easy to communicate with. Nothing was ever hidden or a surprise when it came to costs. And she really took the time to help us with each and every step. From planning out food, all of the hundreds of questions I had, vendor recommendations, and making everything fit together, she was amazing to work with.

The venue itself is just unbelievable. The architecture, the paintings, the cleanliness, the antique elegance. It was a dream to get married in such an amazing historic place. And so many beautiful places to take pictures (even if it rains like it did for us, there is no shortage of beautiful spaces for pictures!).
The staff was also so wonderful. From the moment we got to the hotel, everyone was friendly and accommodating. Especially the employees who worked our wedding. Yvette in particular was such a sweet woman. We actually met her at the tasting and requested for her to also work closely with us at our wedding because we just loved her so much!
And then the food- oh my gosh the food. I will probably never taste anything as good as the food here ever again in my life. Everything was perfect. And what an amazing selection to choose from!! I also love that they offer late night snacks!!! This was a HUGE hit for our guests.
Our guests were blown away by everything. People could not stop talking about the service, the beauty of the venue, and the food.

And back to Nelia- she is the heart of all of this. She truly loves what she does- it’s so obvious that she has a real passion for her work and the people she works with. She is kind and caring, has such an excitement for the couples getting married, and also is incredibly organized. She doesn’t miss any details and she ensures that everything is flowing smoothly. From the set up, to the flow of food being served, to the final touches with late night snacks- everything was perfect. I could seriously go on and on!

If you are thinking about booking a wedding here- do it!!!! You will not regret it!
