Omni Parker House

The Omni Parker House was a dream venue. If you are looking for a place that is a well-oiled machine, elegant and timeless, and provides exceptional service from start to finish, look no further. We held our welcome party, ceremony, and reception at the venue and had many guests utilize the hotel guest room block. Guests loved having everything in one location, and the recent renovations on the property made the guest rooms comfortable and updated, while also preserving the elegance and history of the property. The ballroom was stunning, spacious, and bright. Guests all said the food was incredible, and appreciated the level of hospitality provided by the hotel staff. Everyone from the front desk receptionists, to the bellmen, to the bartenders were kind, helpful, and hospitable. 
The planning process was a positive one with members of the sales and catering team. We booked the venue a year and a half in advance, and in that time worked with several people on the team. Every single person was helpful, responsive, communicative, and easy to work with. We always felt like we could trust the team at the Omni Parker House, and it proved true. We felt like everyone wanted to make our experience a positive one, and we were asked at many points during our weekend if there was anything we needed. There is such a value in working with an experienced team, like the one at the OPH. They allowed us to customize our wedding to be uniquely us while also providing a comprehensive, elegant, and timeless wedding package. We are so appreciative of this team, and feel lucky to have had the OPH as the backdrop of our wedding day. 
Thank you, OPH team! 

Amazing staff, working with Richard was perfect he was responsive and accommodating he made our dream wedding come to life. The wait staff and bartenders were professional and friendly. The ballroom was gorgeous and even more than we could have asked for. We would recommend this hotel to anyone!

We had our wedding 9/9/23 at the Omni Parker House and could not be more thrilled with our decision. From the moment we met Richard on our first venue tour, I knew that we could trust him with our wedding. Throughout the entire planning process, we relied on him for his expertise and opinion on everything from timeline, meal choices, and beyond. I asked him no shortage of questions and he was so incredibly patient with me. Once we got closer to the wedding, he coordinated logistics with our vendors and on the day of the wedding, made sure that my vision was executed to perfection. We also worked with Robert to organize our room block, and he was so professional and extremely communicative. We ended up having almost 70 rooms at the hotel. Most of our guests traveled from out of town for our wedding, so having everything in one place and have it be convenient for our guests was very important to us. Anytime I had questions or needed anything changed for a guest, Robert was happy to help.
We had a gorgeous bridal suite that was included in the package that completely exceeded any expectation I had. It was more than enough room for my 9 bridesmaids and four hair/makeup vendors, and felt like such a luxurious place to stay the entire weekend! The hotel staff was also AMAZING. Everyone was raving about how nice and kind everyone was. Pedro (the banquet manager) was incredible to work with. Throughout the night he checked in on us and updated us about what was coming next. Our guests also continue to come up to us, months after the wedding, telling us how delicious the food was! For a couple like us who wanted to get married in Boston, the Omni Parker House was the absolutely perfect venue. Our wedding day was beyond our wildest dreams. Our pictures in the hotel, across the street and in the Public Gardens are so special, and the hotel itself captures the Boston charm that we love so much. The ballroom is not just like any hotel ballroom - it's so unique and beautiful. We truly could not recommend this venue and the incredible staff enough!!

I worked with Richard Pimentel and Robert Brand for my wedding at the Omni Parker House in August 2023. The venue was amazing and Richard and Robert were there to walk me through every step of the process from picking the menu to coordinating vendors to blocking hotel rooms for guests. All of my guests commented on how friendly, helpful and accommodating all of the staff was at the Omni Parker House. I truly had the best day of my life! It was an incredible experience and I originally picked this venue for their food selection and the wedding cake - a two tiered Boston Cream Pie cake. Richard made me feel at ease and I was able to enjoy my wedding day stress free. I would highly highly highly recommend this venue!

I highly recommend Omni Parker House for a venue as they delivered a high value at a reasonable price. Food was excellent and service superb

We cannot say enough good things about our experience at the Omni Parker House. We got married this past April and had our reception in the Rooftop Ballroom at the Omni Parker. From the initial meetings and planning to the week and day of, the Omni Parker House staff was helpful, receptive, and accommodating- they created the wedding of our dreams. Richard Pimentel with the Omni is a gem - he went out of his way to answer all our questions, work within our budget, provide his expert advice and help us to make our wedding reception dreams a reality. We would recommend the Omni Parker House to any couple looking for the perfect Boston wedding day - from the caring and friendly staff to the beautiful ballroom and delicious Boston Cream Pie, you won’t go wrong choosing the Omni Parker House for your wedding day or really any event!

We selected the Omni Parker House to host our daughter’s wedding and it was THE best
decision we could have made. After looking at many possible venues, OPH overwhelmingly won
with its elegance, location, flexibility, value and the benefit of working with an experienced and
profoundly caring staff. Speaking as the mother of the bride, and on behalf of our daughter, we cannot say enough good things about the hotel and its people.

We had the pleasure of working with Richard throughout the process. He is a true
professional, gracious and kind, who cares deeply about the exactness of such an important
day/event and the happiness of his clients. He and his staff (including the wonderful banquet
managers) never used the word “no” and were always willing to be flexible to our needs and
wants, as well as go the extra mile for us. In addition, it was important to us that we could offer
our guests a comfortable and affordable place to stay and Richard made that possible. We were
thrilled that the great majority of our guests were able to stay at the hotel with us to maximize
our time together.

Our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding on August 27, 2022 was simply perfect! The enormous
bridal suite was exceptional for the bride and her attendants for hair, makeup and relaxing.
Richard also found the perfect (and fun) space for the groom and his party to enjoy as well. The
Press Room was an elegant ceremony setting, the Wheatley Terrace Room for cocktails was so
much fun, and the Rooftop Ballroom was beautiful beyond expectation, warm and inviting and
absolutely GLOWED all night. The food from cocktails to dinner was delicious and we were
proud to hear that guests enjoyed their meals. As for the serving staff, they are tenured pros
and it showed with their non-intrusive table service and warm smiles.

The newlyweds were both so happy and proclaimed it “the best day of our lives!” Music to our
ears! Not only did they have the best day but everyone at the wedding agreed the party
couldn’t have been more fun. In fact, months later we are all still talking about how much fun
we had and what a gorgeous wedding it was. We will always be grateful to OPH for an
outstanding experience and cherished memories. We give our most highest recommendation
for the Omni Parker House to anyone thinking about a Boston city wedding. Simply Perfect!​

It was a sincere pleasure working with Teri and the team at the Omni Parker House. We are so, so grateful we chose this venue for our 150-person classic winter wedding.

The site itself is so beautiful and historic, with plenty of fun details to entertain our guests. It was an evening winter wedding during a storm, but there were so many beautiful places to take portraits, and their holiday decorations were very tasteful yet festive. We had our ceremony in the press room and it was perfect for the guests who could then just venture up to cocktail hour and the reception all in one place. This was great not only for our older guests, but also allowed our vendors to have more time with us and less time devoted to traveling from site to site for setup. We were able to take tons of photos with our loved ones in different areas while staying dry and cozy in our black tie attire!

We loved the extra details the Parker House adds to the special day for the comfort of the bridal party, whether it be plenty of photogenic and roomy getting ready areas to use for the different groups, or the good luck toast for the bridal party in the adjacent room prior to the ceremony, or the private cocktail hour for them to refresh at in a separate room from the main guests so they can take a breather before the reception. We thought the Parker House considered their comfort in many steps along the way and we appreciated that for our closest friends.

We stayed in the Parker suite for our wedding weekend and it was wonderfully large and was the perfect place to meet guests the day before and after before they traveled home. We are very grateful to the staff for being so attentive to our needs and checking on us frequently for cleaning and refreshing throughout the stay. We are also very grateful they allowed us to stay up late with some of our guests that night in the room, savoring the night and time with those who flew from California to be there with us!

Everyone from the front desk to the bellmen to the cleaning staff to the servers at the wedding reception were incredibly friendly, skilled and talented with their work, and helpful to us during our entire stay. They made us feel special when we were there, and they linger in our minds as we think back on the wonderful weekend, and we feel very lucky to have worked with them.

Teri was so wonderful to work with, I cannot overstate that. When we were touring our selection of venues in Boston with my sister, our immediate comfort and confidence in Teri was one of the main deciding factors in our booking the venue. She is an asset to the Parker House Team. I had many questions throughout the planning process and she was so quick to communicate back with us when we emailed her, so accommodating to our requests, and so calming and helpful about everything. This made such a huge impact on the planning process for me. My whole family enjoyed meeting her during the tasting meeting and they also went out of their way after to tell me how great it was to have Teri on our team! We cannot thank you enough!

This is a long post, so bear with me! But if you’re on the fence, of choosing a venue, hopefully this will help you see what an incredible venue/organization Omni Parker House is! When my now husband, Jon, and I were looking at venues in Boston in the Spring of 2019, we quickly became defeated. Even with our decent budget, our dream of a city wedding didn’t seem realistic. Jon still set up tours/meetings at every Boston venue with the hope that maybe we could make something work. The moment I stepped foot into the Omni Parker House, I fell in love. It was absolutely stunning and has a rich history that sets it apart from other hotel venues. I was certain that we would never be able to afford a venue like it, but somehow, not only did it fall within our budget, but it included so much! The staff at Omni Parker House made us feel like valued customers even before any contracts were signed. They were professional and accommodating, allowing for my parents who live out of town to be involved with every step of the process. The high standards that the Omni Parker House possesses put us at ease in knowing our wedding would be top quality. We scheduled our 225 person wedding for July 2020…And then COVID hit, and we, along with many other 2020 couples, were forced to postpone our wedding for a year. Throughout this time, the staff at Omni Parker House kept us informed of any information they received about reopening and guidelines almost immediately. Therefore, we always felt in the loop, even if it were simply an update saying that they had no updates. As our date was quickly approaching, we visited the Omni Parker House where we reviewed what our wedding day would look like. The city of Boston’s guidelines were stricter than the state’s guidelines, and while they were put into place to ensure everyone’s health and safety, it didn’t make for a “fun” wedding by any stretch of the imagination. Our disappointment and stress level was at an all-time high knowing our 225-person (even a 100-person), city wedding was out of the question. The Omni Parker House team worked with us to create any work-arounds or solutions to create a more enjoyable wedding that still adhered to the health guidelines, but their hands were tied. In knowing that they wouldn’t be able to provide the wedding experience we had hoped for (through NO fault of their own), the team at the Omni Parker House offered us a full refund to put towards another venue outside of the city that could allow for more people. In hearing about other venues/vendors who charged us astronomical fees for rescheduling weddings that were originally scheduled to happen in the height of the pandemic/lockdown, we were certain that switching venues would be out of the question…however, Omni Parker House OFFERED this to us. If that doesn’t speak to the their level of customer service, I don’t know what does! The fact that a company who could have easily just kept our money, forcing us cut down our guest list from 225 people to 60 and have a wedding that we wouldn’t be completely satisfied with, but chose not to, is a testament to their strong commitment to customer satisfaction. I truly cannot thank the staff of Omni Parker House enough for investing their time and service with us. While we weren’t able to have our “dream city wedding”, Omni Parker House allowed us the opportunity to have a wedding that we could share with all of our friends and family which was the most important aspect of the day for us. If you want a beautiful wedding and a team that will do anything to ensure you have the wedding of your dreams, I cannot recommend Omni Parker House enough!

I can not that the people at the Omni Parker House enough. I had never been to a wedding before, so I had no idea what went into planning one. From beginning to end this hotel was amazing. At our first meeting, our coordinator, Richard, really took the time to show us how beautiful a wedding there could be. He walked us through each space and talked us through how each space would be set up and how it would look (something no other venue did!). He was always so accommodating with my requests! My family lives out of town, but when they came in town, he made an appointment to show them everything.

The staff here was also incredible. Everything was coordinated so well from the ceremony down to the second each course was served for dinner. They coordinated with our outside vendors and really eased our stress.

On top of everything else, you really can’t ask for a more beautiful venue. There was so much rich history and stunning views of the city. Coupled with the beautiful woodwork and decorations, we did very little extra decorating, and everything was beautiful!

I can not say enough good things about our experience with the Omni Parker House. We really can’t imagine our wedding going any better. Everything was absolutely perfect!
