“From the moment we started planning, the Boston Marriott Long Wharf team responded to our questions with speed and knew exactly how to help us bring our vision to life. Our coordinator Natasha was an absolute superhero throughout the entire process, staying on top of every detail and keeping us organized from day one. The staff were kind and gracious, and the wait staff went above and beyond to make sure our guests felt welcomed and cared for all evening. The venue itself is clean and spacious, which gave us plenty of room to work with our creative ideas for decorations and setup. They were genuinely open to my suggestions and willing to go the extra mile to make our day special. We felt supported by this team every step of the way, and we're so grateful for the part they played in making our wedding day unforgettable.”

“We recently had our wedding at the Tirrell Room and truly could not have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, everything was seamless and executed perfectly; not a single detail was missed. A huge thank you to Amy Barrett, our wedding planner, who was absolutely incredible throughout the entire process. Amy made planning feel easy, kept everything organized, and ensured our day ran flawlessly. We always felt supported and knew we were in great hands. The venue itself was beautiful, and the views created such an amazing backdrop. Our guests loved the outdoor cocktail hour on the patio! The open layout made the space feel welcoming and allowed all 200 of our guests to enjoy the celebration comfortably. The food was another highlight: delicious, beautifully presented, and plentiful. We received so many compliments from our guests about both the quality and amount of food served. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, professional, and attentive. The venue was spotless and so well maintained. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that delivers exceptional service, amazing food, beautiful scenery, and a stress-free planning process, we cannot recommend the Tirrell Room enough. Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable!”

“My husband and I got married at Granite Rose on October 12th, and we’re still talking about how it was truly the wedding of our dreams. From the moment we first saw the venue (that chandelier sealed the deal!), we knew it was where we wanted to celebrate our day. Every meeting with the team felt fun and upbeat, which made the whole planning process so much easier and genuinely enjoyable. Huge shoutout to Briana, Lily, Anna, and Jillian for supporting us through everything and keeping us on track. Our banquet captain that night, Kerri, made sure our guests were taken care of, and we heard so many compliments about the food and service. Chef Jim, Sous Chef Corey, and their awesome servers, Michael, Phil, and Elijah, really did an amazing job. We also have to rave about our bartender, Mariah. She was hilarious, kind, and just so good at what she does. She added such a fun energy to the night and made it even more special for us and our guests. Can't forget to thank Susanne's Weddings for the amazing floral arrangements and Jacques Pastry Shop for the delicious and perfect wedding cake! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves! We’ll always recommend Granite Rose, or any Wedgewood Weddings venue, to anyone who wants a smooth, enjoyable wedding planning experience. We’re just so grateful for how everything turned out.”

“The Lakehouse is straight out of an interior design magazine and the waterfront property is unbeatable. Staff are friendly, professional, and accommodating. They have this business down.
