“I got married at Lake Pearl in July 2024, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! From start to finish, the entire staff was an absolute dream to work with. They truly held my hand through the whole process, making everything feel so seamless and stress-free. One of the best parts was that the venue included beautiful floral centerpieces and a delicious cake, which took so much coordination off my plate. Their preferred vendors and the staff are like a well-oiled machine, working together flawlessly. Lake Pearl is also the perfect backdrop for photos, with a beach, dock, gardens, and tree-lined forest areas that provide diverse landscapes for stunning photo opportunities. I got married in the new Belvedere building, which is a showstopper filled with great lighting and tons of windows! Getting ready on-site was a wonderful experience, with breakfast and lunch catered to the bridal suite, making for a perfect, relaxed start to the day. From the cocktail hour to the reception, everything went smoothly, and it truly was the best day of my life. A huge thank you to Jules and Janet for making everything perfect! Lake Pearl will always hold a special place in my heart, and I highly recommend it to any couple looking for an unforgettable wedding experience.”

“I cannot say enough good things about my event at Joe's Waterfront! I had my reception dinner in the Dockside Room and everything went so smoothly. I was a bit hesitant at first to book Joe's because I was worried the venue didn't match my style. The photos they have do not do this place justice! I'm so glad I gave it a chance and visited in person because the room is so cute and classy, especially with the plain white linens and brown chairs. At night, the candles really bring the place together for an intimate dinner. We brought a few bud vases and flowers for extra decor, but it looked good as is! Rachel was a great help leading up to the night. I had so many little questions and requests and she was able to help me navigate everything so smoothly. Day of, the staff was so attentive and kind. Everyone was such a pleasure to interact with! The food was amazing! Shrimp Scampi was the crowd favorite with the Pan-Seared Salmon as a close second, but you can't go wrong with any of the dishes. Bread and butter was also included and it was a pleasant surprise! Guests also loved the cocktails! We couldn't have asked for a better night :)”

“We are so happy to have had our wedding reception at Joes. Both of us decided to get married at BPL and wanted a reception in walking distance. Joes was the perfect brunch solution! We opted to have brunch and spent a few hours in the wine room to have the best early reception in where we decided was the heart of Boston for us as a couple. After a short period of tasting food, deciding on drink options, and bringing in details for the table scape it was perfect! They even took our wedding cake the day before for us so we can have it ready for the day of! (And we hope they enjoyed the leftovers because we bought a big enough cake for all of the staff to have some too!) Truthfully everyone at joes was incredibly kind and wonderful. We appreciated how they worked with our team to make sure it was a seamless event for us!”

Kari guided us through the whole process and gave us plenty of time on the calls leading up to the wedding to go through all the small details.

We were a difficult group to feed; nearly every guest had a unique dietary restriction and Harvest ensured that each guest would remain safe and happy while dining.

“A Dream Wedding at Margeaux Supper Parlor We hosted our engagement party turned wedding at Margeaux Supper Parlor, and it was pure magic. From the moment we stepped inside, we were blown away by the beauty of the space - especially the bar, which created the most stunning backdrop for photos we’ll cherish forever. Rebekah, the owner, and her incredible team thought of everything. From a custom, dairy-free menu (which was so important to me) to specialty passed cocktails and thoughtful service throughout, not a single detail was missed. The private oasis room was the perfect retreat for a quiet moment together during the celebration and added such a personal touch to the evening. And yes, we even sabered champagne! Whether it’s a bridal shower, engagement party, or wedding, we can’t recommend Margeaux enough. It’s a truly special place run by truly special people.”

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 experience with the DoubleTree hotel was great, and made even more so with the help of Giselle, the event manager. She used her in-depth experience with the space and other events she had helped organize to help us make the best use of the hotel, and on the day-of was there to help coordinate with our vendors. We couldn't have done it without her and DoubleTree!”
