I had the privilege of hosting my wedding at the Umass Club in June and I was truly blown away! It was the best night of my and my husband's life and our guests can't stop raving about the venue, the food, the views, all of it! Working with Paige was an absolute dream and she made the process so incredibly seamless with her responsiveness, advice, feedback, etc. If you have the chance to look at this venue for your dream Boston wedding, I HIGHLY recommend!

We cannot begin to describe how absolutely wonderful Lakeview Pavilion is. We had our wedding in May 2026 and started planning in February 2025. From the moment we walked into the venue, Anastasia was warm, welcoming, and genuinely excited to help bring our vision to life. While the venue itself is breathtaking, one of the biggest factors in choosing Lakeview Pavilion was the incredible team behind it. Throughout the entire planning process, Anastasia and Katelyn were organized, responsive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in making our day perfect. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, and honestly, we would have been lost without their guidance, expertise, and support every step of the way. The venue speaks for itself. Every detail of our wedding was inspired by the beauty and elegance of Lakeview Pavilion. From the stunning chandeliers and luxurious bridal suites to the gorgeous outdoor spaces overlooking the water, every corner of the property feels special. We intentionally chose décor that complemented the venue's natural beauty because it simply didn't need much to shine. And then there's the food. To this day, our guests are still talking about it. We have had countless people tell us it was not only the best wedding food they have ever had, but some of the best food they have had at any event. From the presentation and variety of the hors d'oeuvres to the perfectly prepared entrées and incredible desserts, every course exceeded expectations. On our wedding day, Kelly and Michelle were absolutely phenomenal. They orchestrated every detail flawlessly while making us, our families, and our bridal party feel completely taken care of from start to finish. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and ability to anticipate every need allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every moment. We felt like royalty all day long. One of the most impressive things about Lakeview Pavilion is how seamlessly everything runs. Every vendor, timeline detail, and transition throughout the day was executed with precision and care. Our wedding day could not have gone more smoothly, and that is entirely thanks to the incredible team working behind the scenes. At no point during our engagement did we ever question whether we made the right choice. From our very first tour to the final moments of our wedding night, Lakeview Pavilion exceeded our expectations at every turn. We are so grateful to Anastasia, Katelyn, Kelly, Michelle, and the entire Lakeview Pavilion staff for creating the most magical, stress-free, and unforgettable day of our lives. We only wish we had an excuse to do it all over again! We truly hope to attend another wedding or event at Lakeview Pavilion someday so we can experience it from the guest perspective. Thank you for giving us the BEST DAY EVER. *Pictures are from their preferred vendor APM!

My now husband and I had our wedding after party at the Cut and we had an absolute blast! It was the perfect venue. We were able to bring our wedding DJ to keep the party going, we had cornhole set up, and we had pizza delivered and everything went well. The owners were helpful and easy to work with. Highly recommend the Cut for any event!

We were drawn to Cruiseport for several reasons, beginning with their reputation. Quite a few people recommended the venue for their quality of service, and it became clear throughout our wedding planning that they have the proper procedures in place to deliver a flawless experience for any occasion. My husband and I could not be happier with our decision to work with the Cruiseport Team for our Wedding Day. Each and every member of the staff was truly such a pleasure to work with from our very first visit all the way through our day. The staff are clearly trained, they know how to pay attention to the details, and they offer such hospitality to your family and friends. As we led up to our wedding day, we were thrilled to work with Alyson D. on the team. Alyson gave us a sense of calm and composure throughout the entire process. She anticipated our needs and truly understood what was most important to us. Her experience was evident; she welcomed our unique ideas, and she gave recommendations along the way that genuinely helped to deliver a seamless day from start to finish. Alyson and the Cruiseport Team are a class act, who deliver on their word and provide such value with their approach to the wedding process. We cannot recommend Cruiseport enough, with a number of options in the North Shore area, nothing seems to compare when you consider their entire package and what Cruiseport has to offer!

The day was fantastic. Wamesit was so attentive to every detail, really made it a special day for all especially the bride and groom. The combination of delicious appetizers/main courses and desserts was absolute perfection. Every single guest enjoyed themselves from dancing to the bowling! The tent was beautiful with exceptional touches of elegance. As a family we had so many compliments about the venue/food and ambiance of the outside and inside!

From start to finish, working with Venezia (and specifically Jen McGuire) was an absolute joy! Our December, 2024 wedding reception was everything we dreamed of and we could not be happier! From our very first meeting, Jen took the stress out of wedding planning and put us at ease right away. With her knowledge, expertise, and professionalism, she reassured us that everything would come together in the way we imagined. We felt so secure during the whole planning process knowing that we were in great hands with Jen and the Venezia team. This was true even though the new upper mezzanine space was still being built when we booked the venue! We never felt worried, and the new space was absolutely beautiful and perfect for us! I sent Jen so many long emails with endless questions and she always got right back to me with helpful information that truly made the process fun and as easy as possible. On the day of, Venezia delivered the night of our lives! We had two attendants who took amazing care of us the whole night making sure we got a chance to eat and had everything we needed to fully enjoy ourselves. The food was incredible, and our guests have continued to tell us how much they loved it! Everyone had a blast with the hot cocoa bar and espresso martini ice luge too! The service was top-notch and made us feel so special. We could not recommend Venezia highly enough! We are so grateful to have such wonderful memories of our wedding day that we will always cherish.

Working with Gail and the Sea View was a wonderful experience. I knew I wanted to get married on the beach and have a beautiful, traditional Cape Cod experience. Unfortunately, many of the venues to make this happen are extremely expensive!! Thank goodness for the Sea View. The moment we had our walk through with Gail, and then walked across the street to Inman Beach, I knew it was the spot for us. The entire space is beautiful and spotless. I loved the bar, I loved the outside patio, I loved that the dining area was lots of natural light and simple. We found the food options to be within our price range, and loved that there wasn't a huge tax/gratuity tapped on like many places, only 7% food tax plus 5% suggested gratuity... a few of the venues we looked at tapped on more tax and tip and it would have bumped the price 20-30% which is crazy. Anyway, working with Gail was easy. She was very organized, quick to respond and willing to hear our concerns and answer our questions. Her staff were very helpful and friendly. I'd recommend the Sea View to anyone getting married on Cape Cod and would do it all over again there if I could!

Our wedding at The Oceanview of Nahant was truly the wedding of our dreams, and we cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire team. From our first meeting through the final moments of our wedding night, every detail was handled with professionalism, care, and expertise. The staff made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our special day. Their organization, communication, and attention to detail were absolutely exceptional, and everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. The venue itself is breathtaking, providing the perfect backdrop for both our ceremony and reception, but what truly sets The Oceanview apart is its people. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure that our guests were comfortable and that every aspect of the day exceeded our expectations. Their experience and dedication were evident in every interaction, and we always felt like we were in the best possible hands. Because of The Oceanview, our wedding day was stress-free, joyful, and unforgettable. They played an enormous role in making our celebration so meaningful and special, and we will cherish those memories for the rest of our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend The Oceanview of Nahant to any couple looking for a beautiful venue and an outstanding team to help create the perfect wedding day.

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Groveland Fairways! The property is gorgeous and was the perfect setting for our indoor/outdoor October ceremony and reception. Nicole, our coordinator, made the entire planning process so easy. She was always organized, responsive, and such a joy to work with, helping us execute our vision for our big day. The Groveland team was always transparent and very easy to work with. And Matt, our banquet captain, made the night run so smoothly and was so thoughtful and kind — we felt completely and genuinely cared for. We’re so glad we chose Groveland Fairways — it was the perfect venue and an incredible team that made our day absolutely unforgettable!

From the moment I started corresponding with Catherine at EAST MEETS WEST to get an estimate last spring, she was responsive, professional and accommodating with what we wanted. I was planning the wedding from out of town, but in 7 months of planning, never had one moment of doubt. We arranged to pick out our decor and have our tasting on the same day last summer and absolutely everything was superb. Catherine also really helped us achieve the look we wanted (which was a bit different from the usual “white wedding” look). The week of the wedding was no exception. I had many changes to my seating chart (due to a few guests with Covid) and she was always available, reassuring, responsive to my concerns. I went to the set up and of course she was there and had the whole team humming at an organized pace. On the day, everything was PERFECT. I live in Los Angeles and many of my LA and NY friends are still raving about the food and saying it was the best food they had ever had at any wedding. The servers were all so professional, friendly and delightful, as were the two women running the event (of course, Catherine was there to make sure everything went off without as much as a bump in the road). If you are getting married in Boston, you must hire EAST MEETS WEST. I have very high standards, but again, it was SPECTACULAR.
