Museum of Science

Sheryl and the MOS team were amazing! In addition to the beautiful space, we felt very taken care of before and during our wedding. The team's calm guidance and ability to quickly respond and change plans helped make what could have been a weather disaster into the most memorable wedding possible! Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are a gorgeous place to host your wedding.

From the second we met with the staff of the museum of science and toured the venue we fell in love with the idea of having our wedding there. We were so excited to have the opportunity of an outdoor wedding under a veranda with the city of Boston in the background. It gave us the opportunity to have such fantastic photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We were also thrilled that a portion of what we paid went to charity as that is so important to us!

The museum gives you so many options where you can have your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception so it is perfect for everyone. The thing we will remember the most about the museum, however, is the staff. I don’t know if I can fully put into words how lucky we were to have Sage and Sheryl. Calling Sage the lead catering manager doesn’t do it justice. She is the ultimate hype woman and cares so deeply about your experience. She was so fun to spend time with during the tasting and will always be remembered as an exciting addition to our wedding. There was a moment during our first look photos that she came over to us to ask if we needed anything and got us food. Just a little thing we did not expect that made our experience that much more enjoyable.

We met Sheryl a little later into our experience with planning the wedding at the museum. We could tell from our first conversation with her that she brought just as much energy and excitement as Sage. She was so knowledgeable about the whole wedding experience and made it much less stressful on us. Looking back on our whole experience we wouldn’t trade having them be a part of our planning for anything. We will always look back fondly on our interactions with them. I still vividly remember them being SO excited when my wife and I were walking down the aisle after our ceremony and joining us on the dance floor later in the night. I never would expect our wedding planner and caterer to be such a lively addition to our wedding. They made the best day of our lives even that much better!

Our experience at Washburn Pavilion for our August wedding was nothing short of magical. From start to finish, the venue provided a breathtaking backdrop for our special day.

Brianna, the initial coordinator, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She effortlessly handled all our requests with minimal back and forth, making the planning process a breeze. Unfortunately, she left the day before our wedding, so I can't speak to the new staff, but if they follow Brianna's example, you're in good hands.

The warm summer night, accompanied by a beautiful sunset, set the perfect tone for our celebration. The venue's lawn was the ideal spot for games, adding a playful touch to the festivities. The dance floor under the twinkling lights created a romantic ambiance that enhanced the joy of the evening. If your budget allows, I highly recommend doubling the bistro lights for an even more enchanting atmosphere.

One standout aspect was the exclusive caterer, MAX, who delivered an insane culinary experience. The food was exquisite, and the service impeccable. Sage, who worked alongside MAX, was fantastic and contributed to the overall success of the event.

Despite the last-minute staff change, our wedding at Washburn Pavilion exceeded our expectations. The venue's charm, combined with the incredible team and services, made for a tremendous evening. I would undoubtedly choose Washburn Pavilion for another event and replicate the experience without hesitation. This speaks volumes about the venue's quality and its ability to host unforgettable celebrations.

I've told Cheryl and Lisa that they can never retire.

They are some of the best wedding coordinators that Boston has ever seen.

Let's talk about the venue itself for a second: It's the hidden waterfront gem of Boston. It has a dedicated parking garage. The catering is delicious. The spaces are so unique and each one of them has so many possibilities. Wilder Pavilion and the Blue Wing are so dang awesome.

I'm not a previous bride. I'm a Boston wedding photographer, who has been to the MOS more times than I can count. I know my way in and around all of the hallways not open to guests. I see all the crazy things that happen behind the curtain.

You won't find a more caring and competent team than at the Museum of Science. I promise.

We just had our dream wedding at the museum of science on August 17, 2019. OT was perfect! Charlotte, Lisa, and their team were so easy to plan and communicate with and everything in the big day was seamless! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience!! Hiiiiighly recommend!!!

I sing and emcee in a wedding band so when it comes to weddings, I've see them all! We did not hire a planner for our wedding since we had a good idea about what we wanted. The museum is, first of all, GORGEOUS. But beyond that, everyone we worked with was so professional, helpful, and truly cared that we (and our guests) had the most perfect wedding day. Charlotte walked us through every detail before the big day and was truly a joy to work with. She'd remind us about things we would have never thought about and offered suggestions as well as vendors who were also amazing to work with. Because of working in this industry, I'm used to taking over a wedding and making sure everyone is where they're supposed to be and things are happening on schedule. As I started to take on that roll the day of my own wedding, I quickly realized I didn't have to! Lisa, our day of coordinator, proved herself exceptionally capable and really allowed me to relax (can you imagine?!) and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. Not to mention, she saved the day being prepared with some Tide stick for my dress. Overall, I've performed in at least 40 weddings and have had a fly-on-the-wall view of how other vendors work and I have never worked with anyone as professional, organized, and wonderful as the Museum of Science team. Look no further!

The Museum of Science Washburn Pavilion was a great place to get married! It's so beautiful that you don't even need to decorate. The MoS staff and Wolfgang Puck staff were so friendly and easy to work with. They took care of everything during the wedding, so we could just enjoy ourselves. The food was also fantastic.

My wife and I would HIGHLY recommend the Museum of Science to anyone looking for a unique and beautiful wedding venue. We felt so well cared for from the very beginning. From our initial tour to our big day we were so well-supported by the event staff (and Charlotte Callahan in particular-- what a gem!). They answered our questions, supported us through the decisions we needed to make, and helped us anticipate issues that we hadn't even considered! Everything was so well-planned that we got to do what very few brides get to do on their wedding day-- celebrate! The event planning was spectacular, but it was not the only thing that was brilliant. Let me tell you about the food! It was perfect! We had some off-menu ideas that they were able to accomodate (grilled cheese bar, anyone?) and they even suggested a dessert that wasn't listed which was the hit of the party! We both agree, it was the best day and it was due in large part to the team at MoS!

Had an absolutely magical wedding on memorial day weekend. One of the best values in Boston for a picturesque and personalized day! Wouldn't have changed anything. Catering is fantastic, able to accommodate different styles of food. MoS points of contact are also awesome -- responsive, professional, and truly made the experience seamless.

It has been a month since our wedding at the Museum of Science already, and I must say I still have a high feeling from it and it is all thanks to the MOS (Museum of Science) team. (With Cory in the lead for planning and Lisa in the lead for execution on the day-of).
We approached them almost a year before our wedding about wanting to have it at the MOS and from that email and on, I felt like they became our wedding dream team! From helping with ideas for the flow, to always having a check list of things needed for the day to go smoothly and all the schedules and timelines that gave people an overview of the day. I am a very organized person and I need everything confirmed, reconfirmed and in writing, but I did not need to tell them, because they were more organized than me! At no point did I feel stressed and I knew I could always just call them to go over something with the wedding or discuss any detail, small or big. My husband is in the military, so we had the additional aspect of him rarely being there for most of the planning, but I still felt safe and comfortable with the MOS. They just made it work! When I told them I wanted to have a "fancy" wedding, they immediately suggested things that could give it that vibe - even things I had not thought of myself!

Our guests still talk about how amazing the venue, the team and the planning was and I could not have done it without the MOS. They are professional, they love what they do, they care about you and your big day and it is worth every penny.

The food is from Wolfgang Puck Catering and even though it is the most "pricy" part of the wedding, it was worth it and every meal was exquisite.

They made our day perfect and even our parents mentioned how it was worth it to have it at this museum because of their planning skills, professionalism and their people.
