The Multicultural Arts Center

5.0

Cambridge, MA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,600

This Victorian treasure was built in the late 1880s, and originally served as the county courthouse. It’s been lovingly restored, and boasts a two-story theater space with an exquisitely embellished ceiling and wraparound mezzanine balcony. In the warmer months, ceremonies may be held in Centanni Courtyard. This airy outdoor space continues the historic feel of the Arts Center with lawns, a large arbor, and brick pathways. Your rental fee helps support the Center’s mission: to educate the community about diversity through the presentation of multicultural arts programs, and to make the center available to artists and groups who may not otherwise have access to a professionally equipped space.

We held our wedding reception at the Multicultural Arts Center in Cambridge, and it was a beautiful venue to host our event. The space was a perfect size for our event with 125 guests, and the ceiling is a showstopper. The building is right on the small city park, Centanni Park, which is such a nice little green space in East Cambridge. The staff was friendly and easy to work with and helped us to create our dream reception. One thing to keep in mind when picking this venue is that you have to select from a list of preferred vendors for catering, and they will need to rent all of the plates, cutlery, glassware, catering supplies etc since the venue does not provide these items. Their list of caterers to choose from is a great list, but the extra cost of these rentals should be remembered when budgeting your event.

Cambridge Boat Club

5.0

Cambridge, MA
  • Up to 120 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

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 wedding at Olio was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we toured and met with Sarah, the owner of Olio, we knew the venue was a special place. Not only is the space beautiful, it’s one of the few where you can make it your own, which was incredibly appealing to us. We also decided to work with Sarah as our day-of coordinator through her Without a Hitch business, which was one of the best decisions we made. Sarah is incredibly organized, responsive, and resourceful, and between this and having our wedding at Olio, we knew we were in good hands. Bringing different vendors to Olio to create your own personal space could bring its challenges, but that was not the case one bit. Sarah worked seamlessly with all of our vendors, and between her communication, coordination, and dedication, she ensured our wedding day went smoothly and according to plan. She was also helpful as we thought through the layout and flow, something we greatly appreciated. We cannot thank Sarah and her team at Olio enough for making our wedding such a special day! Our guests loved it and so did we!

Long Hill

Elegant plantings and cultivated grounds fill this public garden with vibrancy that's more than a century in the making. Long Hill is a property of The Trustees of Reservations, a Massachusetts non-profit corporation. From 1916 to 1979, Long Hill was the summer home of noted author and editor of The Atlantic Monthly, Ellery Sedgwick. He summered here with his first wife, Mabel Cabot Sedgwick, an accomplished horticulturist, gardener, and author of The Garden Month by Month, and his second wife, Marjorie Russell Sedgwick, a rare plants specialist—both of whom created a delightful, enchanting landscape, surrounded by more than 100 acres of woodland. Today, visitors delight in the beauty of Long Hill’s structured and naturalistic gardens as well as a network of woodland trails. A diverse collection of trees, shrubs, and distinctive perennial plants provide color during the growing season, peaking in May and June and providing structure and beauty throughout the year.

My husband and I had our wedding at Long Hill July 2023 and it was everything we could have imagined. The venue was absolutely beautiful, and we received countless compliments from guests, asking “how did you find this place?!” The gardens were beautiful for our ceremony/cocktail hour and the tent was gorgeous for the reception. Helena, the coordinator for Long Hill, was super communicative and made sure everything ran smoothly day of. The entire venue was gorgeous, steeped in history and made the perfect backdrop for our photos. We would highly recommend this venue!

If you are looking for a classic historic mansion in Boston to host a wedding this is the place. We had our wedding reception here and everything was perfect, from the food to the decor. We worked with Sydney and she was the best in responding to all of my questions. She was very polite and made sure the day ran smoothly. Our wedding was beautiful, more than 75% of our guest were visiting from out of town and really enjoyed Hampshire House. We keep hearing from our friends and family how delicious the food was and they were so full at the end of the night they barely had room for wedding cake. Sydney and her staff are very professional and made sure everyones allergies were addressed, everyone was very pleased with the service. The night flowed so smoothly, I could not have asked for anything better.

The Saphire Estate is not just a gorgeous venue, the staff and management have perfected the process of planning and executing a flawless wedding. Kayla Collins (our producer) was beyond helpful in planning, she was flexible and accommodating and I don’t think we heard the word “no” once throughout our nearly yearlong timeline. Most important of all – on the actual wedding day, we didn’t have to do a thing except enjoy ourselves! The food was phenomenal, the staff made sure all special requests were met, and they set up everything from the guest book photo station to a memorial table. The ceremony and reception were both stunning. Cannot say enough good things about Kayla and the crew at Saphire Estate! We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding.

Totally recommend getting married at this venue!! My husband and I had our wedding here last month and it was absolutely AMAZING. First of all, the estate and grounds are so beautiful and made the perfect backdrop for our wedding… so breathtaking, especially in May with everything blooming! Secondly, the staff were on top of EVERYTHING! Jasmine and Suzy made sure that the day ran as smoothly as possible and we did not have to worry about a thing, which allowed my husband and I to enjoy our big day! Jasmine has such a bubbly, welcoming personality and is so great to work with. She is so professional and positive, and definitely helped make our wedding the best it could be! Jasmine made sure to check in with us to ensure that everything was how we wanted it. The waitstaff and bartenders were also amazing and helped keep our guests happy throughout the night. On top of that, the food and drinks were delicious! If I could get married again, I would choose this venue every time!!! I cannot recommend it enough and had a fantastic wedding day because of them!
