The College Club is one of the best-kept secrets in Boston as far as wedding venues go. If you are having a smaller event, the setting is gorgeous, centrally located, and extremely affordable. The food that Jesse made was DELICIOUS, but his skills extended far beyond the kitchen. We were extremely appreciative of his advice and expertise all throughout the planning process in regards to everything from the flow of the evening to the flowers, pianist, cake etc. Jesse's years of experience were invaluable and gave us the peace of mind that things would go off without a hitch on our wedding day- and they did! The Club itself is lovely- you almost feel as if you are in an old family home. Our 75 person wedding seemed to be a perfect size for the space, although we had stations as opposed to a sit-down meal, and a wedding of our size (larger for the venue) would have been too big for served courses. The station style worked well. We appreciated the flexibility in planning the menu. There weren't fixed menus to choose from- we were able to customize our menu based upon our preferences. Be advised that the venue doesn't have a liquor license- it's beer and wine only. All in all, we had a WONDERFUL wedding and we attribute a lot of that to the beautiful setting of The College Club and Jesse- he truly has a gift for weddings!

I recently had my wedding take place at the College Club and it was extraordinary.

The wedding took place during a particularly difficult time, due to the Boston Marathon bombings and the subsequent manhunt that shut down the city the day before the wedding... however, Jesse stayed in contact with me every step of the way and we were able to figure things out. He was even able to coordinate with my other vendors to ensure that everything would run smoothly.

During the wedding, the food was excellant, the venue was beautiful, and everything was perfect. Jesse and the staff were friendly, helpful, and overall amazing.

While I don't plan to ever need another wedding, I would definately come back here if I could! 5 stars!

The College Club of Boston is the perfect venue for a small, intimate wedding. Remy does a fantastic job at coordinating all the details, giving lots of choices but always making it easy to decide. The venue is particularly good for the couple that needs to do long-distance planning and is not able to be on-site until close to the wedding. It is both elegant and romantic, and Remy ensures that that all the details are taken care of. I highly recommend the College Club of Boston to anyone wanting an intimate, urban, wedding venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
