From the very beginning, the team at The Granite Rose made the entire planning process feel easy, organized, and joyful. Jillian, Anna, Lily, and Briana were incredible every step of the way. During planning, they were also extremely helpful in working within our budget, helping us get the best possible value while never taking anything away from the guest experience. Everything felt thoughtful, intentional, and worth every penny. We brought in a lot of our own décor and were able to drop everything off the day before. When I arrived on my wedding day and saw the room, I was completely blown away. The setup was absolutely perfect — even better than I could have imagined. As a bride, I felt completely stress-free, knowing every single detail was being handled. A very special shoutout to Jillian, who stayed with us through all of the formalities and made sure the entire day ran smoothly. Her calm, reassuring presence allowed us to truly enjoy every moment without worrying about timelines or logistics. Victoria, the General Manager, is truly exceptional — fun, warm, professional, and incredibly organized. She made the entire experience feel joyful and seamless. Our Banquet Captain, Lucas, ensured everything ran flawlessly. Grace, Michael, Kiara, and Elijan provided amazing service throughout the night. The food was absolutely delicious thanks to Chef Jim and Sous Chef Corey, and Abby was a fantastic bartender who kept the energy high all evening. We also want to highlight our amazing vendors. Laurie from Susanne’s Weddings was so fun to work with and truly saw our vision, bringing it to life beautifully through the florals. Our cake from Jacques Pastries was both stunning and delicious — we especially loved the red velvet top tier. DJ Dan from Main Event kept the dance floor packed all night and played all of our favorite songs. Our hot pink, winter disco ball wedding vision came to life in the most beautiful way. We are forever grateful to The Granite Rose and this incredible team for giving us a day we will cherish forever.

My husband and I got married at the Hilton in Woburn on 6/8/24. Anyone that knows me, knows I stress about everything like there is no tomorrow. The Hilton put all my worries at ease. I did have a few different wedding coordinators throughout the process but they all were very helpful and communicated well with one another when switching to a different coordinator. Ruth and Kari- the best of the best! Responded quickly if I had any questions or concerns. We had our ceremony and reception at the Hilton. Kari and Alli (director of banquets)- words cannot even express how grateful I felt having both of them help with the ceremony entrances as we had an odd amount of people in the wedding party. Kari and Alli were both there the day of our wedding and made sure everything was set up the way I envisioned it. Ruth, Kari, and Alli, thank you all so much for making my wedding day the best, most memorable day, of my life!
