Seaport Hotel

Leah and her team at the Seaport were great. We booked the Seaport Hotel early on in the process and we are happy with our choice. Leah and her team were excellent throughout the entirety of our 2 year engagement. The big day arrived without incident and Leah was phenomenal in offering her professional opinions leading up to the big day and making sure her staff were ready to go! She even made sure the picky-eaters in our family/in attendance had exactly what they wanted to eat. Leah will make you feel like a rockstar from the emails she sends, at the tasting and the days/weeks leading up to your wedding. Thank you to Leah and the team at Seaport.

We chose Seaport Hotel for our wedding block booking (~100 guests) due to it having the best balance of any hotel we could find between location, quality and affordability, as we could not have been happier with our choice. Throughout the 3 years we spent planning our wedding, Peter made the entire experience seamless. During this time, we exchanged over 100 emails. Without exception, Peter was responsive, helpful and professional. This included creating an appropriate block booking contract, managing one group reservation portal, a date change due to COVID, and countless emails and questions about room changes / additions / cancellations. When the weekend of our wedding finally arrived, our guests had an impeccable stay thanks to Peter’s flawless organization. On top of that, he was able to help with a few urgent / important requests during our group’s stay. We would strongly recommend using Seaport hotel for anyone’s wedding in Boston and the surrounding area, largely thanks to Peter who made it all happen as well as the friendly and helpful front desk and housekeeping.

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.

We were thrilled with this venue! Michelle was a dream to work with and made sure every detail was taken care of. The food was phenomenal and the room was gorgeous. I can’t say enough good things about how perfect this venue was for my daughter’s wedding and I would recommend d it to anyone!

As I wrap the post wedding to dos, it has become abundantly clear how much I’ll miss working with Leah/Director of Catering. We have had a wonderful experience from the first contact. We felt welcomed and supported from day one. Leah was respectful of our budgetary considerations and found ways to make everything work our perfectly. She was by our side the the entire week leading to the big day. This was my second daughter to marry in a Boston Hotel. By far, I highly recommend the Seaport Hotel.

We stayed at the Seaport Hotel for my daughter's recent wedding. The wedding was not at the Seaport Hotel but we did a room block for our guests and rented a suite for the girls to get ready and have their hair and makeup done before the ceremony. Kelcee was amazing and very responsive to all of our needs. I highly recommend staying at the Seaport Hotel if you are having a wedding in the Boston area or even at the Seaport. Convenient to everything too!!!!

I can’t say enough good things about Kelcee and the entire Seaport team. Kelcee did an exceptional job in terms of answering questions and helping us to coordinate a really beautiful bridal shower. She made sure all of our requests were met and went out of her way to follow through on even the smallest of details. The team we worked with the day of the event was so kind and welcoming. The bartenders, servers, and banquet managers were all so hospitable and helpful throughout the entire day.

Booking a wedding reception venue is one of, if not the, most important choices you will make in wedding planning. We knew we wanted to have our reception in downtown Boston, on the water, and somewhere with outdoor space. After looking at 10+ venues, we knew the Seaport would be the right fit for us. We found the entire Seaport staff extremely easy to work with, organized, and professional, from first booking with the sales team, to the hotel staff, doormen, chefs, restaurant staff, and all event staff on wedding day. Our coordinator, Kelcee, was especially impactful in guiding us through the entire process from start to finish, staying organized, and keeping us organized so that the process went smoothly. While the Seaport offers an all-inclusive wedding package, they were extremely accommodating in allowing us to customize the package, specifically the food and beverages, to best suit what we were looking for. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the Seaport Hotel and its staff and couldn’t be happier that we chose them for our wedding reception!!

Just started working with Kelcee to plan my wedding, she makes the entire process so easy and stress free! My mom is very difficult to please and she loves her! Would recommend anyone who wants to start working with her and plan a wedding at the Seaport! It's so beautiful, couldn't be more excited!
