We could not have better things to say about our wedding experience at the Fairmont Copley Plaza! From the first walk through with Alice (the amazing Assoc. Director of Weddings/Events), to the tasting, to the day of, it was all magical. The venue spoke for itself and that's exactly want we wanted. As soon as you enter you see the breathtaking Peacock Alley, the gorgeous architecture and lighting in the lobby, the blue clouds painted on the ceiling. Every little detail left us, and our guests, in awe. We also cannot thank the amazing staff enough for their hospitality and incredible service. We had the most beautiful day of our lives thanks to the team at the Fairmont Copley Plaza, and we cannot wait to celebrate anniversaries and special events there for a lifetime!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Alice Fay and the entire team! Planning a wedding is stressful under the best circumstances, but Alice somehow helped us pull off our entir...
e wedding in just one month. From the very beginning, she made what felt impossible become completely manageable.
Alice was there for us every step of the way. She answered every single phone call, responded to every question, and handled every last-minute change with patience, professionalism, and a smile. No matter how many times I called or how many details needed to be changed, she never made me feel like I was asking too much. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything came together perfectly.
One of the things I appreciated most about Alice was her wonderful sense of humor. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but she always knew how to make me laugh and ease my nerves. Her kindness, compassion, and genuine care for us made such a difference throughout the entire process. It felt like she wasn't just our wedding manager—she was someone who truly wanted our day to be as special and memorable as we did.
A huge thank you also goes to Chef Doyle for creating such an incredible meal. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was! Every dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and exceeded our expectations. The quality of the food was one of the highlights of the evening, and we couldn't have been happier.
We also want to recognize Rommel for everything he did to help make our day run so smoothly. His hard work, professionalism, and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. It's clear that he genuinely cares about making every event a success, and we are so grateful for everything he did behind the scenes.
Because of Alice, Alycia, Chef Doyle, Rommel, and the entire team, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. Despite having only one month to plan, everything came together beautifully, and we were actually able to relax and enjoy every moment. We will forever be grateful for the care, dedication, and love that went into making our wedding so unforgettable.
If you're looking for a team that truly cares about their couples, works tirelessly behind the scenes, and makes miracles happen, look no further. Thank you all for giving us the wedding of our dreams. We will never forget everything you did for us!
love,
Mr & Mrs Farah 6.13.26

The v...
enue itself is absolutely breathtaking. The elegance, history, and beauty of the Fairmont created the perfect backdrop for our wedding and made the entire day feel like a fairytale. Our guests are still talking about how stunning everything was.
What truly set the experience apart, however, was the incredible team. Every member of the staff was professional, attentive, and committed to making our day seamless. We felt completely taken care of from the moment we arrived until the very end of the night.
A special thank you to Ashley Kirouac, Director of Event Sales. Ashley was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire planning process. She made us feel comfortable from day one, provided thoughtful guidance and recommendations when needed, and helped us bring our vision to life while still making the wedding feel uniquely ours. Her expertise, responsiveness, and calm demeanor made the planning process so much easier and more enjoyable.
The Fairmont exceeded every expectation we had. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment knowing we were in such capable hands. We cannot recommend the Fairmont Copley Plaza highly enough for couples looking for a beautiful venue and a world-class team to help make their wedding day unforgettable.
Thank you for helping create the best day of our lives.

We can't thank Ashley and her team enough for helping make our wedding weekend at the Fairmont absolutely perfect. The venue is obviously beautiful and unique in Boston, but Ashley...
's Fairmont team including Vinit, Kathleen, Ricardo & Aleks brought everything to life. We never had to worry about one single detail...they were on top of everything. The food was even better than expected (and that's saying something), the layout, sequencing, and service as good as you can hope for, and our guests had a great time! Of course our amazing event planner Liz Pruitt helped with absolutely everything, and together with the Fairmont team just made our experience perfect. We had high expectations, and they were exceeded! Thank you to everyone at the Fairmont.

The staff at the Fairmont Copley, and Alice, our venue coordinator, were nothing but incredible hosts for our wedding day–we were slightly intimidated at first; the historic and gl...
amorous venue was so much to take in on our first visit. But as soon as we met with Alice, she showed us how to manage the guest list, and fun extras, and bring together our vision in such a way that ultimately fell within our budget. We felt right at home when we met Cori, the hotel labrador and greeter extraordinaire! She was just as sweet as the rest of the staff, who helped make the day for all our guests a night to remember!
The Oval room was a perfect fit for our guest list of ~100: the vibes were moody and romantic, the grand shell gave our band an epic stage, and the whole room lit up once we got into party mode because of the painted ceiling and mirrored walls–we couldn’t help but like we’d stepped into a moment in time that we would never forget. Oh, and dinner was absolutely perfect, with staff attending to guests who needed special dietary restrictions, and serving our cake on platters with an extra touch of flair (we had a red velvet cake and there was a strawberry smear on the plates to accentuate the red!) At the end of our night the suite was a beautiful and comfortable sanctuary for us to relax and recover from all of the dancing.
Overall, we cannot recommend the Fairmont Copley enough for your wedding, or any event for a special group. If you do; please say hello to Alice, and give Cori a few pets for us!

From the moment we said 'yes' to the Fairmont to the moment we checked out of our wedding suite, everything was exceptional.
Alice Fay - our venue coordinator - is the best of th...
e best. Not only is she incredibly professional and kept the planning processes easy, but her passion for her couples and her enthusiasm for her work shines through in everything she does. We are so lucky to have had Alice at our side every step of the way, but even more so that we now get to call her a friend.
Sarah Sandoval was our point of contact for booking and working with her was so efficient and easy. She worked with us to accommodate elderly guests who needed ADA rooms and booked us the most beautiful wedding suite.
When it comes to customer service, the entire staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Each interaction with a member of the staff from the front desk personnel, to the bellmen to the housekeeping staff was warm and came with a smile. We - our guests included - cannot stop raving about the exceptional service and kindness we were shown. I was so touched by the level of service and kindness that I cried saying goodbye to the man at checkout, whom I had just met during that interaction.
In terms of the food, everything was top notch. Our guests have been raving that it was the best food they've ever been served at a wedding, in terms of flavor, portion size, freshness and presentation. HUGE shoutout to the team in the kitchen for preparing an incredible meal.
Overall, we could not have been more pleased with our decision to host our wedding at The Fairmont Copley Plaza. It's a world-class hotel with a world-class staff, and we look forward to making many more memories there in the future.

She was professional, knowledgable, full of great ideas and fun. She was such a pleasure to work with and it's clear that not only does she love her job, but it is important to her that your event is what you want. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by John who was so warm and friendly, followed by Joe who brought our bags to the room. Both gentleman made us feel valued and welcome. Our experience at check in was equally wonderful. I would 100% recommend hosting an event at the Fairmont Copley. It is apparent from all of our interactions that they strive for perfection and I can honestly say our entire experience was perfect.

on come to life. We worked closely with Alice, who made the typically stressful wedding planning process feel easy, organized, and fun. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and calm, reassuring presence made all the difference.
We had a large guest count, almost 300 people, and the Fairmont had no problem accommodating everyone with ease. The event flowed perfectly from start to finish, and every aspect of the evening was handled with care and precision. Sarah was also a huge help when it came to coordinating our room blocks. She made the process smooth and stress-free for us and our guests.
The hotel itself is absolutely stunning! It’s historic, elegant, and full of charm. The food was out of this world, and we’re still getting compliments from guests weeks later. Several people told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended, and we couldn’t agree more.
We’re so grateful to the entire Fairmont Copley team for helping us create a celebration that was beyond our dreams. If you’re considering this venue, don’t hesitate. You’ll be in the very best hands.

esponsive throughout the entire planning process. She made us feel taken care of, and we were planning a wedding from 1000 miles away. She was honest, and knew all the little details that you did (or didn’t) need. My day wouldn’t have been perfect without Alice.
The venue and food were incredible. Plenty of options, flexible with helping with children’s meals or allergies. Each server and bartender at the wedding were amazing. The bellhops (I believe John was one), helped us the day prior loading all of our stuff in (so thankful!). We ended up having some rain, but it was perfectly fine because inside the venue was so beautiful we were able to have fantastic photos inside. Sarah was fantastic at helping with the room block and making sure everything went smoothly.
They helped to create a no-stress environment for a perfect wedding and I cannot thank them enough!

Her deep industry knowledge, familiarity with the venue, and extraordinary attention to detail set her apart. But beyond that, it’s her calm, professional, and supportive demeanor that truly makes her a standout.
On the day of the wedding, our guests were absolutely blown away. The awe began as soon as they stepped into the lobby and only grew stronger with each space they entered. The beauty of the setting was matched only by the impeccable service. The Fairmont staff were attentive, gracious, and worked with incredible efficiency to ensure food and drinks were served promptly and with care. As someone who works in the wedding industry myself, I was beyond impressed by the level of excellence and heart that went into every moment. The food was some of the absolute best we’ve had in our lives! During the tasting, the chef was so accommodating and willing to change or tweak anything we wished for. He is seriously talented! My husband and I couldn’t decide on which chicken to serve. We finally decided on one, and then Fairmont let us eat the other option ourselves on the big day! It’s little touches like that that mean so much.
Thank you, Ashley and the entire Fairmont team, for bringing my wedding dreams to life!

Many of our guests have told us that this was the best wedding food they had ever had. Most importantly, the event planning staff were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process to make sure that everything went smoothly. Wedding planning can be stressful, but we knew the entire time that the Fairmont would ensure that everything at the reception venue would go as planned. Ashley and Sarah were so helpful during the leadup to our wedding, and Maiya and Kathleen were wonderful Event Operations Managers on the big day. We strongly recommend booking the Fairmont!

ery aspect of the wedding, from the ceremony to the venue to the food. The food was all absolutely delicious and gourmet despite almost 200 guests, with the steak cooked to a perfect medium rare. I can’t tell you how many guests told me, clearly very genuine, that it was the best and more elegant wedding they had ever attended. This was all thanks to the absolutely amazing team at the Fairmont. We worked with Alice Fay, who was absolutely amazing and made sure every detail looked perfect and went smoothly. When we first arrived, we were greeted with such a warm welcome by Alice and Sarah Sandoval, who had also been in communications with me about some details. At the reception, Maiya, the Event Operations Manager, made sure things continued to run smoothly, and at the end of the night Kathleen was there to make sure we didn’t need anything. I ordered my "signature drink" from an amazing bartender, Phil. All of the staff collaborated to make the event perfect, from the amazing servers who pitched in to help with our complicated table settings, to the sweetest bellman, Said, who helped us move things multiple times with a constant smile. My parents loved one of the doormen, Mike, who gave them lovely feedback about our wedding from the staff. I more than recommend this venue for a wedding. It has an old world glamor that can’t be replicated, and the most amazing team you could ever work with. I could not be happier with my beautiful, fairytale wedding.

Every corner of the space exudes elegance and charm, which created the perfect backdrop for indoor photos on our special day (specially as it rained outside).
The service we received was truly exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was flawless. Their attention to detail and dedication to making our day perfect was evident in everything they did. We felt incredibly well taken care of, and the professionalism and warmth made the experience even more memorable. A special shoutout to Ashley who's the first person we interacted with when booking the venue, and who was there with us through the journey and on the day off, making sure everything was perfect.
The food was absolutely delicious. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the steak, salmon, raw bar and desserts. Each bite was a culinary delight, and the presentation was impeccable. The chef clearly put a lot of thought and care into finer details that wowed and sated everyone.
Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better venue and team for our wedding. The combination of the beautiful setting, incredible service, and delectable food made our day unforgettable in the best way!

d toured a few different locations and besides the fact that the Fairmont is the most beautiful location for a ballroom wedding, what sold us was Ashley Kirouac, our venue coordinator. She was meticulous with details, attentive, and patient when I was started losing control of everything.
Vinit Sigh, and Emily Lopez were incredible handling the event itself and making sure that everything went flawlessly. The staff were beyond exceptional, and I cannot thank the Fairmont Copley enough for their warm hospitality and incredible service.

10/10!!! Getting married at the Fairmont was a dream come true. We had a true fairytale wedding. They exceeded our expectations. The venue speaks for itself in its beauty and elega...
nt/romantic vibe, but the special touches the venue and vendors provided made it so magical.
The service was top notch. Respectable and friendly staff that gave us a fine dining experience. The food was outstanding and when you cater a large event you don’t always expect food and service to exceed expectations, but every guest ranted about both!
Alice was our event coordinator and she was truly the best. So easy to work with, lots of experience, and made our day so special by delivering all the things we asked for and more! They truly have weddings down to a t here.
From the moment you are outside the venue and get greeted by staff and valet at front door, to the moment you leave - a true luxurious experience. Everyone was outstanding and easy to work with. I already want to plan another event there!! I can’t speak enough about this place !!! <3

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Fairmont Copley Plaza. From the moment we toured the venue, to the wedding day itself, everything was absolutely perfect. Ashley ma...
de my husband and I, as well as our families, feel incredibly special throughout the whole process. She is not only professional, but also friendly, welcoming, and extremely thorough. She made sure to go above and beyond to answer my questions and accommodate our requests, and I was extremely confident that everything would be perfect on the day, and it absolutely was.
The venue itself was more than we ever could have imagined. The hotel is so beautiful on the inside and out, and it offers so many photo opportunities in the lobby, hallways and staircases. The room I got ready in provided more than enough space for me and my wedding party to get ready. Again, Ashley was more than accommodating the morning of, and made sure I had everything that I needed. Our cocktail hour was in the Venetian Room, which was amazing, and we still talk about the hors d'oeuvres to this day. Our reception was in the Oval room, and it could not have been more beautiful. We loved the 1920’s feel to the room, with the high ceilings and huge, historical windows. The room had more than enough space for all of our guests to dine and dance comfortably. The food, from the appetizers to dessert was delicious, and the staff was all prompt and professional while serving our meals.
Overall, the entire experience, from wedding planning to the after party, exceeded my expectations. It truly was the most amazing day of our lives, and I cannot recommend getting married at the Fairmont Copley Plaza more! Thank you Ashley for everything!

My husband and I had our wedding at Fairmont Copley Plaza in September 2023, and as we expected, it was the perfect venue for our special day. We had our ceremony and reception in ...
their Oval Room and our cocktail hour in the Venetian Room. We, and our guests, loved the timeless and elegant atmosphere of both rooms, and took advantage of the stunning lobby at Fairmont as well. The plated dinner selection at Fairmont is truly exceptional; you can tell they take much pride in the quality and presentation of their food. Additionally, they took great care in accommodating all of our guests' dietary restrictions and allergies.
My husband and I worked with the event manager/wedding specialist Alice Fay throughout the year leading up to our wedding. We were so impressed by the years of experience she has in the wedding industry and the love and care she puts into the wedding details. We had a lovely meeting at OAK Long Bar + Kitchen to finalize details. It was so helpful bouncing ideas off of Alice, getting her professional opinions on everything from food choices and reception timelines, all the way to lighting and the type of escort cards to choose.
We also worked with services manager, Jessica Cooper, who helped tremendously with our room blocks and wedding suite accommodation. Jessica was incredibly responsive and was able to give us tours of one bedroom suites and guest rooms at Fairmont so we could appropriately prepare for our wedding weekend.
My husband and I are so happy we had our wedding at Fairmont Copley Plaza. The service, food, atmosphere, and professionalism exceeded our expectations and we would definitely recommend!

ption in the Grand Ball Room and post-wedding brunch in the St. James Room! Words cannot begin to describe how truly magical the weekend was. Our guests are still raving about how incredibly beautiful the venue was and how special they all felt at our wedding event! This was all made possible by the fabulous team at the Fairmont Copley Plaza. First of all, we owe Ashley Kirouac, our event coordinator a huge thank you. She did a phenomenal job and was such a pleasure to work with. No matter what we threw her way, Ashley was always so responsive. Her expertise in planning, coordinating and help with every aspect of the wedding including the post-wedding brunch made our event flawlessly successful and so much easier for us during all of our planning. Jessica Cooper was another event coordinator which we were so fortunate to have part of this amazing team. She helped to make sure all of our questions were addressed, making last minute changes, informing us about our room availability and keeping us on track with everything. Alex Ferraro and Allie Ferrick were the Event Operations Managers at the wedding reception working along with Ashley. Their main goal was to oversee and make sure that our wedding reception ran smoothly from start to finish. They did a superb job and were so attentive to all of our guests. Executive Chefs George Lishchynsky and Zaid Khan were expert chefs overseeing culinary and they were terrific! The food was gourmet and so delicious. The presentation of the meals was so impressive and the quick service was fantastic. They also took care of dietary restrictions for some guests with amazing substitute dishes. This was the wedding of our daughter’s dreams! The amazing team at the Fairmont Copley Plaza made our daughter and her husband’s wedding a spectacular and memorable event! Thank you to the team at the Fairmont Copley Plaza for helping to fulfill our dream wedding! We highly recommend booking a wedding event at this exquisite venue.

A special...
commendation goes to our coordinator, Ashley, for her tireless efforts and meticulous attention to detail. Event Operations Managers Allie Ferrick & Alex Ferraro were instrumental in ensuring that every aspect of our event was executed flawlessly, and their professionalism was evident in every interaction.
And then there’s Rijkard A. from the culinary team. Not only did he share our excitement for our big day, but he also went the extra mile to make it memorable. His passion was evident when he prepared Griot, a cherished delicacy from Haiti, especially for us. This thoughtful gesture touched our hearts deeply and added a unique and personal flavor to our celebration.
Every member of the staff played a role in making our wedding magical. Their consistent hospitality and commitment to excellence ensured that from the moment we booked our venue till the day after our wedding, every memory was crafted with love and care.
To any couple searching for a venue that will treat your special day as their own, we wholeheartedly recommend the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel. They don’t just deliver; they astonish.

op-notch, executed every detail flawlessly, and really know what they're doing (Alex Ferraro and Nat Avendano were our Event Operations Managers). Ashley Kirouac was our event coordinator from our first venue visit to the big day, and she did an amazing job answering all of our little questions, keeping track of changes and updates, and being extremely responsive throughout the planning process. We could not have been more grateful to work with her! Our guests raved about the food and the service - they were great with food allergies as well as with serving everyone very quickly. Another huge unexpected benefit of this venue was that we were able to go until 12:30am, which meant that we didn't need to specifically coordinate after-party festivities. Thank you again to the Fairmont for making our day so special!

Our daughter recently had her wedding reception at the Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston.
The day was a fairy tale wedding in every way imaginable!
This is only possible when you ...
have the best of the best by your side and top-notch resources available.
That is when we met Alice Fay, Wedding Event Coordinator. It was love at first sight! She was so friendly, kind and
genuinely happy for all of us. It seemed too easy....too perfect... Well, I have to say to anyone reading this if you are
looking for a smooth sailing wedding process please look no further! Alice Fay was made for this! She is the REAL deal.
Never have I met anyone who wants to please a client more. Alice has quite the schedule....She has more than one wedding
at times every week but yet made us feel like our wedding was the only one happening. Her level of care and concern is truly
remarkable. I couldn't believe that emails and phone calls were returned within an hour or less and it was like that for the entire
ten month planning process. When we would meet in person, she made it fun and personal and truly made us feel like family.
After explaining the vision we had for this wedding, she suggested a list of vendors and resources that were the best of the
best in the business. They had one goal....to please in every way possible. I have learned over the years, that despite people
being good at what they do, sometimes they do not have an approachable way about them. The wonderful people we worked with did not disappoint. They were always available to brainstorm and meet in the space to get everything perfect. They succeeded.
During the wedding Alice was AMAZING! She was on top of everything (yet in the background) and was so kind to our family and made sure all was going well. She truly doesn't miss a beat! Even the night before and morning of the wedding she was checking in with us making sure we had everything we needed. All the personal touches and loving texts as the wedding approached were over the top! That is why I had to write this review. She deserves this and a lot more. My daughter not only got the wedding of her dreams....we got ALICE as well.... A friend for life

lly hotel ballrooms don't have a ton of character, but the Copley completed changed my mind about that. From the second we walked in, I was so impressed with the beauty and character of the hotel. We chose to have our wedding in the Oval Room, which is a stunning room with gold framed windows and a beautiful blue ceiling painted with clouds. Our wedding coordinator, Ashley Kirouac, was so helpful throughout the whole process, always walking us through each step and answering our questions along the way. Our banquet coordinator, Allie Ferrick, made sure all of our food and beverage service stayed on track. Everything ran seamlessly, and we had the absolute best and most memorable wedding!

ulate & open Lobby, with its fresh flowers and crystal chandeliers, to the elegant Venetian Room for cocktails and delicious appetizers, to then, the historic OvalRoom, which overlooks Copley Square: it was spectacular. Our daughter had many creative ideas for their special day & there was no one better to see these details fall into place more seamlessly than Alice Fay, the Copley’s Senior Event Sales Manager and Wedding Specialist. She was personable, professional, punctual & helpful. If we had to do it all over again my husband and I would not change one thing at all. We have received so many compliments from so many people about venue, food and just all around timing and presentation. We will never forget our daughter’s wedding at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel.

The Fairmont Copley Plaza was truly a dream wedding venue! From our first encounter with Alice Fay, Head Event Coordinator, to the day of the wedding, everything was truly perfect....
Alice was extremely responsive via email and phone, and the Fairmont was super flexible with all of our asks and needs. Alice made the daunting wedding process feel seamless and was always able to answer my questions with ease.
The tasting experience was incredible and included choice of wine as well as 3x starters, and 2x options each of meat, fish, and vegetarian to try. They were also super helpful with tips and tricks on what to do with folks with allergies and could even create dishes for you if there was something that you really wanted that wasn't on the menu.
Alice worked seamlessly with our other vendors such as the band and photo booth to ensure they had everything they needed on the night of so that things could run smoothly. She truly has seen it all and the amount of tips and tricks that were shared were priceless.
From the day we got there before the wedding, I felt truly like royalty. All the staff was so nice and accommodating. The food came out quickly and was extremely delicious - not like normal wedding food that is usually only ok - we really felt like we were eating at a high end restaurant.
The night of the wedding they also had a suite prepared for us with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries - truly no detail was missed! I could not recommend this venue more if you are thinking about it for your wedding or next event. It was literally a dream come true!
