Historic meets ultimate elegance - A review from a wedding photographer

As a wedding photographer, I see lots of crazy things. The good ones are memorable and heartwarming; the bad can be embarrassing and cringe-worthy. But what really gets me excited is when people give their all--whether its a wedding or a corporate event.

As someone who works with couples every weekend on intimate occasions like marriage ceremonies there's nothing more satisfying than knowing that the venue team is amazing. I've photographed at Boston Public Library dozens of times and love it here. I know it's not conventional for photographers to write reviews like this, but I wanted couples to know that there's so much you don't see behind the scenes. BPL's coordinators are always cheering you on, putting out fires that you'll never know about, and always have your best interests in mind. They're kind of unsung heroes.

Just wanted to say, well done, BPL.

The perfect Boston venue

The Catered Affair team at the BPL team made our September wedding seamless from start to finish. Working with Bryanne, our coordinator, and the entire Catered Affair team really made our wedding day so enjoyable – we didn’t have to stress about anything. Throughout the year-long planning process, Bryanne was incredibly responsive, informative, and professional; she helped us coordinate with each one of our vendors to create the perfect day. Day of, Bryanne and Emily orchestrated a completely seamless day from the photos prior to our ceremony through the very end of our reception. My favorite part of working with The Catered Affair was the breadth and depth of their knowledge around wedding planning and their high attention to detail – and the amazing food! I honestly cannot think of a more beautiful place to get married in Boston!

Performing at 500 events per year, we work with many different caterers. TCA @ the BPL always delivers first class service from small intimate social gatherings to huge corporate events and upscale weddings. They are so on top of their game, all we do is go with the flow of the night and follow their lead. So everything from introductions of a wedding party, to signature moments like toasts, speeches, cake cutting, parent dances, etc...always flow seamlessly. Their clients get to sit back and just enjoy their party. It is truly an honor to be partners with such an amazing company. They even reach out to all their vendors the week of the event to ensure everyone is clear about load in, set up, load out and of course the overall event time line. Their organization is superb and we sincerely appreciate all of their attention to detail. On top of all that, everyone is so friendly and accommodating, we've become good friends with many of their event producers and other staff members. Just a top notch company all around.
