The Multicultural Arts Center

5.0

Cambridge, MA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,600

This Victorian treasure was built in the late 1880s, and originally served as the county courthouse. It’s been lovingly restored, and boasts a two-story theater space with an exquisitely embellished ceiling and wraparound mezzanine balcony. In the warmer months, ceremonies may be held in Centanni Courtyard. This airy outdoor space continues the historic feel of the Arts Center with lawns, a large arbor, and brick pathways. Your rental fee helps support the Center’s mission: to educate the community about diversity through the presentation of multicultural arts programs, and to make the center available to artists and groups who may not otherwise have access to a professionally equipped space.

We held our wedding reception at the Multicultural Arts Center in Cambridge, and it was a beautiful venue to host our event. The space was a perfect size for our event with 125 guests, and the ceiling is a showstopper. The building is right on the small city park, Centanni Park, which is such a nice little green space in East Cambridge. The staff was friendly and easy to work with and helped us to create our dream reception. One thing to keep in mind when picking this venue is that you have to select from a list of preferred vendors for catering, and they will need to rent all of the plates, cutlery, glassware, catering supplies etc since the venue does not provide these items. Their list of caterers to choose from is a great list, but the extra cost of these rentals should be remembered when budgeting your event.

Cambridge Boat Club

5.0

Cambridge, MA
  • Up to 120 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

Cambridge Boat Club is a social and rowing club, located on the banks of the Charles River overlooking Eliot Bridge. Originally built in 1909, CBC was picked up in its entirety and rolled upstream to its current location in 1947, to make room for the building of Memorial Drive. Featuring vaulted ceilings and dark exposed beams akin to a ski chalet, and double french doors opening to a full length veranda, CBC offers a unique, rustic setting for any event.

The Cambridge Boat Club was the perfect choice for our New England fall-themed wedding! It is an absolutely gorgeous location on the river with just the right amount of historic charm. We had originally considered going with all-inclusive venues, but ultimately opted for the flexibility we had with the CBC to craft our own vision. The venue features two distinct rooms, a larger room called the Drinkwater room, which can be used for the wedding dinner, the Club Room, which was used for cocktail hour and the dance floor, and a porch, which has a stunning view. The layout perfectly accommodated both the party enthusiasts and our more introverted guests, who preferred quieter spaces for rest and socialization away from the dance floor. Opting for this venue requires a more DIY approach compared to all-inclusive options. Since it is a historic building, there are some restrictions to be aware of, e.g. no sparklers or ceiling drapery, and existing wall decor generally need to stay on the wall. This was no issue for us since we had a clear vision for the wedding theme and decor, and enlisted the help of Tastings Catering (highly recommend, since they have previous experience working in this space and also handle some of the decor) and Designlight. Major shoutout to Katie Donnelly, the club manager at Cambridge Boat Club, who always responded in record time to all our inquiries and provided helpful guidance. With everyone's help, we were able to create the wedding of our dreams!

Our wedding at Olio was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we toured and met with Sarah, the owner of Olio, we knew the venue was a special place. Not only is the space beautiful, it’s one of the few where you can make it your own, which was incredibly appealing to us. We also decided to work with Sarah as our day-of coordinator through her Without a Hitch business, which was one of the best decisions we made. Sarah is incredibly organized, responsive, and resourceful, and between this and having our wedding at Olio, we knew we were in good hands. Bringing different vendors to Olio to create your own personal space could bring its challenges, but that was not the case one bit. Sarah worked seamlessly with all of our vendors, and between her communication, coordination, and dedication, she ensured our wedding day went smoothly and according to plan. She was also helpful as we thought through the layout and flow, something we greatly appreciated. We cannot thank Sarah and her team at Olio enough for making our wedding such a special day! Our guests loved it and so did we!

Long Hill

Elegant plantings and cultivated grounds fill this public garden with vibrancy that's more than a century in the making. Long Hill is a property of The Trustees of Reservations, a Massachusetts non-profit corporation. From 1916 to 1979, Long Hill was the summer home of noted author and editor of The Atlantic Monthly, Ellery Sedgwick. He summered here with his first wife, Mabel Cabot Sedgwick, an accomplished horticulturist, gardener, and author of The Garden Month by Month, and his second wife, Marjorie Russell Sedgwick, a rare plants specialist—both of whom created a delightful, enchanting landscape, surrounded by more than 100 acres of woodland. Today, visitors delight in the beauty of Long Hill’s structured and naturalistic gardens as well as a network of woodland trails. A diverse collection of trees, shrubs, and distinctive perennial plants provide color during the growing season, peaking in May and June and providing structure and beauty throughout the year.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough good things about our experience getting married at the Hampshire House. We were lucky they were the first venue we looked at in person- we knew we didn’t need to look any farther to find the perfect place to host our wedding. We were looking for a place that felt intimate, warm, romantic, and elegant. We hosted a wedding for 73 people, and it was absolutely perfect. We have had nothing but positive experiences with the Hampshire House since with first met our coordinator, Lindsay Beshero just over a year before our wedding. They provided flexibility in planning while also taking care of all the catering and rentals. We loved our tasting, where Lindsay helped us iron out even the smallest details well in advance of our ceremony and reception. While they were professional and responsive throughout the planning process, the real joy in working with them was on the day of our wedding. The ceremony and reception spaces are absolutely stunning and are in the perfect location in downtown Boston, right off the Boston Garden and in the vicinity of plenty of hotel and transportation options. Because of the nature of the venue, you get to enjoy both the grand second floor library and the beautiful third floor reception space and bar. Transitioning back and forth throughout the evening was seamless, and allowed our guests to mingle and truly enjoy spending time together. The staff was warm and extremely responsive to our needs. Any request we had was met in moments. Another reviewer commented that they felt like they got to enjoy being a guest at their own wedding, and I couldn’t agree more. Our guests raved about the food and service, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We would choose the Hampshire House again in a heartbeat.

Jasmine and Suzy were the perfect duo to help make our wedding day and weekend absolutely perfect. Jasmine was the most incredible day of planner. She answered all of our questions thoroughly via email leading up to our wedding date, and coordinated meeting with us in person at the Estate several times beforehand. Jasmine and Suzy even hosted my parents for a weekend so they could see the estate prior to the wedding day! A few days before the wedding we last minute decided we wanted to "ice" our guests with Smirnoff ice bottles and Jasmine helped us execute it perfectly! Jasmine was amazing at keeping all wedding-related events on time and kept on schedule. We couldn't have made it through the weekend without her meticulous planning. Suzy was awesome at delivering drinks and snacks to the girls getting ready and cheese boards and drinks to the boys. The morning after the wedding Suzy was on hand with plenty of breakfast foods to send us off after the most perfect weekend. I highly recommend booking this venue. It is absolutely gorgeous! We did the Gatsby experience and couldn't have asked for anything more. Our bridal party and close family were able to stay on-site or close by at one of the local inn's. Do yourself a favor and check out this amazing team and venue for your upcoming wedding!
