WGBH is a hidden gem for a Boston wedding. From a winter wonderland to black tie elegance to a spring fling the space can be customized in so many ways. It is a cool local landmark to work in and their team onsite is great to work with. Cuisine Chez Vous has long enjoyed catering at WGBH and always look forward to going back.
