If your date is open, book immediately!

5 stars doesn't even seem to do the Bostonian justice. TL;DR: If you're looking for a fantastic venue with an even better value and want to work with best of the best, book the Bostonian immediately!

The Bostonian was the first venue we saw and knew that it was likely to be the one. We knew that we wanted to be in the city, but didn't want a stuffy hotel ballroom. Although it is a hotel, The Bostonian was far from a standard ballroom. We immediately fell in love with the amazing giant windows, incredible staff and the location. We did our due diligence and saw countless other options, but in the end, The Bostonian offered everything we were looking for and more for way less than the competitors. Not to mention, Nicole is a goddess among mortals and I wasn't going to pass on the opportunity to work with her!

Before booking, we had decided to have dinner at North 26 to get a sense of the food. The food was very important to us and while they are different menus, the same head chef handles both their restaurant and events menus. During our dinner they managed to give us a sampling of appetizers from the catering menu, which blew my mind! Everything we tasted, at that dinner and at our official tasting dinner, was incredible. Not a single person at our wedding had a bad thing to say about the food.

While the space and food was key for us, it was the people who really made The Bostonian stand out. Everyone we came in contact with from the door man to the front desk manager to our event manager, Nicole Shapiro, were outstanding! They went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and supported. Nicole answered my countless ridiculous questions - trust me there were a lot of them - quickly and without hesitation. If she ever once thought I was insane, she certainly didn't show it! She even helped us unload the uHaul of supplies we dropped off before the wedding and assemble our welcome bags.

As an event planner myself, I knew that the hardest part of my wedding was going to be letting myself enjoy the day and not focusing on running the event. With Nicole at the helm, I didn't worry for a single second that day or the two years we worked together leading up to it. She is a DREAM to work with and I can't recommend her enough!

If we were to do it all over again, we would 100% book the Bostonian again!

ps. You can see the fireworks from the balconies on New Year's Eve. Just saying ;)

Incredible

If you want to feel like King and Queen on your wedding day then you should have The Bostonian to be your venue. Not only this place is affordable, their packages are incredible and its in a great location but their service and attention that you will get throughout your planning, during the wedding and even the next day is INCREDIBLE.
When I say that my wedding went without a glitch I mean it. It's been over a month and we still can't believe how perfect everything went.

We had Nicole as our event coordinator, she was there with us all the way, and understood exactly what we were looking for. Nicole was on top of everything
OH! and the food?? also INCREDIBLE
Stop thinking about it and reach out to them and have your perfect big day at the Bostonian

The perfect place for our wedding!

As soon as we saw the Bostonian, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. My husband and I wanted a city wedding with skyline views. The Bostonian has such a prime location, right across from Faneuil Hall. You can walk to so many beautiful places for photos from here. I truly don’t think you can beat the location. The Seasons Ballroom has a unique vantage point of the city. You get skyline views without being 50+ stories high. Right out the window is Faneuil Hall & Quincy Marketplace, the clock tower, and some other beauties! We had our ceremony and reception in the ballroom and the setting couldn’t have bene more dreamy.

The Seasons Ballroom has modern and clean feel, perfect for any decor you want to add. Most hotel ballrooms have bold and busy rugs, dated light fixtures, and feel overly stuffy, but this space is so modern and fresh. We worked closely with Nicole (and Rachel was great too, who we talked to a few times!) and she guided us through the whole process. The pricing was very fair, especially for a Boston wedding. Nicole worked with us on ironing out our day of schedule, made vendor recommendations, and was very responsive. The day of our wedding, she coordinated everything. I didn’t have to worry about talking to any vendors or worrying about anything at all. She handled everything. The staff at the Bostonian, especially Nelson, the head waiter was great. He took care of our sweetheart table and our parents tables and was so warm, friendly, and provided such a high level of service.

The food was wonderful. The options at the Bostonian were so hard to choose between since they have such a generous menu. People complimented the food and desert (we had the North End desert platter which was DELICIOUS!).

I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day. Thank you to Nicole & the Bostonian for the big part you played in our day! :)

Nestled between The Greenway and Quincy Market, The Bostonian gives wedding parties access to dozens of iconic spots downtown. And their distinctive function space is beautiful. Added to that, their catering and event management is among the very best in the business. It's easy to give them my highest recommendation.
