Seaport Hotel

We had our Wedding block here and I seriously can't thank the team enough for the service they provided us from planning to wedding day! We worked with Pete who truly cares about your special day - he was always available to answer questions, give recommendations, and made sure we were taken care of once we arrived. He went above and beyond!! THANK YOU PETE! The front desk staff was also amazing - they helped us organize a few things on the day of the wedding and also did a spectacular job dispersing our welcome bags and making everyone felt welcome. We had an after wedding brunch the day after our wedding and the food was incredible, the space was gorgeous, and again, the staff made sure we were all set. I feel like everyone at the Seaport Hotel cares and will go above and beyond for you. I appreciate that sooo much because it made us all feel special on such a big weekend of our lives. The hotel is also in an incredible location - all of our guests loved being able to walk everywhere and there were so many amazing food options nearby. Its truly beautiful! I would highly recommend Seaport Hotel for your wedding - they will go above and beyond for you so that you can enjoy your day and know that you'll be taken care of!!

Our wedding was at the Seaport Hotel on 8/31/19 (Ceremony in Wintergarden & Reception in the Plaza Ballroom). Our experience with the Seaport Hotel and our wedding coordinator, Michelle Fabiano, was OUTSTANDING from the start!

Where do we begin?!?

We live in Baltimore, MD. My wife is from Boston and still has strong family ties to the area which led us to start our venue search in Boston during Labor Day weekend of 2018. We knew we would have a lot of guests traveling to the wedding so it was important to us that the venue was easily accessible from Logan Airport and could host our Ceremony, Reception, and guests! With that in mind we thought the best way to experience a venue would be as a guest and we booked a room at the Seaport Hotel for the same day as our initial meeting with them.

Coordinating with Michelle for our initial tour was seamless! She was very responsive and accommodating with our tour time (Sunday afternoon) due to us traveling in and not being able to stop by at anytime. She was prepared, organized, and very personable; we felt comfortable with her immediately! Seaport has many available options for Ceremony and Reception spaces (all beautiful), we absolutely fell in love with their Wintergarden Ceremony space! Michelle did a wonderful job walking us through Seaport's wedding packages and helping us visualize what our day could look like.

After a great tour in the afternoon we returned to our room at the Seaport and were surprised by a box of chocolates with a sweet note! (the small things go along way)

Soon after our visit and evaluating other potential venues in Boston (Royal Sonesta, Liberty Hotel, Hotel Commonwealth) we decided Seaport Hotel was the one for us and reached out to Michelle to book our date! We ran into a slight unexpected hiccup with booking the Wintergarden Ceremony space (Seaport does not have exclusive rights to this space and can only book 1 year out, while other businesses have earlier access). We originally wanted a Saturday in October, so we had to wait to receive confirmation that the space was available. Michelle reached out exactly 1 year out, but to our dismay the space was already taken which sent us into a slight scramble. Michelle was diligent in getting us all of the remaining dates available for the space and we were able to lock in 8/31/19. (Which we actually REALLY loved)!

During the following months leading up to the wedding Michelle did a great job working with us on our hotel room block, creating/communicating how our guests could book rooms (weblink), and keeping us informed of all pertinent deadlines we needed to be aware of. She was on top of all of the documentation the whole time which helped keep our minds at ease, especially working to put this together from out of town.

As the wedding the drew closer we flew back to Boston for our tasting! Again, Michelle was very flexible with the time and made sure it would work for us! We didn't know what to expect for a tasting but we were blown away with how it was set up for us! Michelle and Seaport really pulled out all of the stops. When we arrived our names were on their event board and Michelle met us in the lobby. We followed her to a private dining room where they had a table set as it would be for our wedding and began to dine just like our guests would experience later. Michelle and our waiter Jules (who was awesome and our sweetheart table waiter at the wedding) began walking us through the courses and tasting. Everything was so delicious and amazingly prepared & presented that we had a very hard time choosing what to go with! We ended up with the Seared Filet of Beef and Pretzel Coated Chicken! To finish the tasting Michelle surprised us with churros for dessert so we could conclude the meal on a sweet note! (We ended up adding these to the Ice Cream Sundae bar because they were so good!)

During our tasting we were also able to start reviewing our wedding timeline with Michelle. She took great notes and sent us a summarized version by the time we were back home. Michelle also worked with our parents on setting up a breakfast for the day after the wedding.

Finally, our wedding weekend, what an amazing experience! Seaport hit a home run from the time we unloaded and parked our car with the valet to leaving 4 days later. The valet team and front desk provided a seamless check-in. Michelle was there when we arrived and made sure to take all of the items/decorations we had for the wedding as she and her team would be setting them up during our wedding day. Prior to our wedding Michelle had also coordinated with all of our vendors to make sure they knew were to go, park, and drop items off. Michelle ran our rehearsal and did a great job setting us up for success and handling our large family & bridal party! On our wedding day Michelle was available and checking in with us during the day all while making sure our vision for the Ceremony and Reception was being set up! She did an amazing job coordinating with our photographer, videographer, DJ, and florist...even helping the florist pin boutineers on jackets! She kept everything running on time, as planned, and handled everything flawlessly allowing us to not worry and just have the best night of our lives!!! Also worth mentioning, all of the food was OUTSTANDING! All of the apps during the cocktail hour were a hit (the bbq chicken mac 'n' cheese bites are ridiculously good) and the food service during our reception was as good as our tasting! The meals came out hot and perfectly cooked. We received so many compliments from our guests on the meal choices.

Michelle also helped coordinate with Tamo (in house bar/restaurant) so they knew to expect our guests after the rehearsal dinner & wedding. Tamo was great and was able to handle our large guest count each night! We especially connected with Devin as we met him a year prior when we were up for our initial visit!! The personalized service we received from Devin not only made us feel special, but our whole friend and family group!

We would with out question recommend Seaport Hotel to anyone looking for a venue to host their big day! We received so many compliments from our family and guests about the location of the Seaport Hotel, their rooms, and the service they received throughout our wedding weekend.
