5 star venue!

We had our wedding ceremony in Foster’s Pavilion at the Boston Harbor Hotel. It was a beautiful spot for a wedding ceremony and they worked with us to accommodate our large guest count. Amanda from the events team did an incredible job at making sure the day of the wedding ran smoothly!! Would definitely recommend having an event at BHH

Wedding at Boston Harbor Hotel

We had our wedding at BHH, and we could not recommend it enough. The location, food, and staff were all world-class, but we’d like to call special attention to Ted Daniels, who was the wedding coordinator at the hotel.

Ted was the consummate professional, and it was clear from our first contact. When we first reached out to him to ask for prices, he replied with a clear, concise, and fair contract within hours. After spending weeks wading through contract issues with our original location, working with BHH and Ted was a breath of fresh air.

Things only got better as our experience continued. One thing we really valued about working with Ted was his ability to listen to our preferences, clearly explain what BHH could (and could not) do, and make thoughtful suggestions based on his decades of experience in the industry. It was our first time planning a wedding, and Ted helped us understand the pros and cons of our options. His clear communication and *serious* attention to detail were a huge — planning is much less stressful when you know you have someone you can rely on.

One unexpected positive experience: BHH can also help you select vendors who have a relationship with the hotel. We didn’t think this would really matter, but several of our vendors that we met through BHH made a point that they wanted to do an especially good job because they valued their relationship with Ted.

Finally, the day-of experience was perfect. Ted worked closely with our vendors and ensured everything ran seamlessly while we enjoyed time with our friends and family. The food was absolutely delicious, the Wharf Room was stunning, and our friends and family had a great time.

TL;DR: You cannot make a better pick than working with the Boston Harbor Hotel and Ted Daniels.

Boston Harbor Hotel is the perfect venue for a Boston wedding!

The Boston Harbor Hotel made my wedding day dream come true! Picking a venue is probably the most difficult decision when it comes to planning a wedding. If you are considering the Boston Harbor Hotel, do not look elsewhere. Ted Daniels, is amazing! He is super responsive, considerate, and he executed our wedding day in the most perfect way I could have imagined! From the tasting, to the menu options, and picking out the chairs and linens – Ted will be there to guide you through the process. Ted understands every intricate detail and will make your wedding day dream come true. I had mentioned to Ted I really loved swiss dot and that was arranged for on my cake! He understands how stressful weddings can be to plan and does his best to arrange and accommodate for anything. If you choose to have your wedding day at the Boston Harbor Hotel it will be the best decision of your life and you will not regret it. I am so lucky to call the Boston Harbor Hotel my wedding venue!

I have always been enamored by the design, complex logistics, and emotion behind a wedding production. Boston has forever been my home and I love the elegance of a city wedding. Not only is every wedding unique, but it's also a joy getting to know the families and couples who choose Boston Harbor. My advice for making wedding decisions- do what feels the most "you!"

What I love most about working in weddings is the experience of meeting a couple, hearing their visions, and making those visions a reality. I want each wedding I do to reflect the tastes of the bride and groom- not my personal taste. It's always so much fun to sit down with the bride and groom, interpret them, and then turn it all into a celebration environment. My tip to all brides, grooms, and families planning weddings is: "Relax and have fun! Enjoy the moment!"
