We couldn't have picked a better venue for our wedding this past summer. Every single member of the Boston Marriott Long Wharf team went above and beyond and could not have been ea...sier, or more pleasant, to work with. We worked with Mary Kate in the beginning, then had Shannon and Elizabeth on our team for the rest of the planning stages through execution. All 3 of these ladies were outstanding and really helped make our day run smoothly. You can rest assured that your day will be perfect if these ladies are on your team.
As for the venue itself, the location, service, and overall experience is incredible. Our room was overlooking the harbor; the outdoor terrace is perfect for cocktail hour, or some fresh air during the evening. The room itself is stunning and really lends itself to an upscale, but still fun atmosphere for a wedding. We scoped out many venues that seemed to be dark and dreary, but this could never be the case in such a grand room - it was truly spectacular. If we were to pick a downside, it would be that the room only held 146 people, exactly. We had a difficult time paring down our guest list, so we would have wished for a few more seats. Other than that, there are no complaints whatsoever.
The value you get at the Marriott is also a reason to check this place out. We looked at a few waterfront venues in Boston and beyond. After comparing them all, we found the Marriott to be quite reasonable and that, paired with the service and quality you receive, absolutely made it the best choice for us overall. We still have people raving to us about the waitstaff and bartenders - they could not have been any more accommodating and pleasant.
Last thing we wanted to point out was the food. It was, hands down, the best meal we have ever had at a wedding. Although we might be seen as a bit biased, we are trying to be as objective as possible. The food was hot, on time, and absolutely delicious. We truly felt that every single penny was well spent here and are so glad we made the Marriott our #1 choice.
Our only hope for the future is that we can someday be wedding guests at the Marriott Long Wharf to experience an event like that all over again. We could not have asked for anything more and would recommend the Marriott to anyone and everyone looking for a sophisticated, modern, and reliable venue at an incredible value.
