d about the appetizers at cocktail hour and their meals at the reception. Each step of the planning process with Alice and the rest of the Fairmont Copley staff was so easy and enjoyable. Even through the day the wedding coordinators took extra steps to make sure we enjoyed the day to the fullest. My husband and I were not able to attend cocktail hour so Alice prepared a plate of all the appetizers that we had picked out for the event and set it at our table at the reception so we could enjoy them once we sat down for dinner. Alice seemed to think of everything.. there were too many small details and personal touches to count! We would recommend this venue 100%.

knocked it out of the park and I don't know what I would have done without her. She was so patient and quick in answering email upon email that I sent her throughout the process. She made sure every one of my guests was taken care of properly during their stay and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and relaxed the entire weekend and didn't have to lift a finger or worry about anything. The top notch service started with Ashley, but certainly didn't end there... from the caterers, to the bartenders, to the receptionists, and the valet guys... we felt like royalty the entire weekend. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning and made for wonderful pictures. I was a little nervous that such a beautiful hotel would make for a stuffy reception, but it was exactly the opposite. The Oval Room was perfect for our reception of ~160 people and everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. I couldn't have dreamed of such a perfect wedding day and a big part of that is due to Fairmont Copley Plaza's outstanding service and stunning venue. Every couple who chooses Fairmont Copley Plaza will experience the same flawlessness on their wedding day, without a doubt!!

alism. Our expectations were exceeded in every way. The executive chef, banquet managers and their staffs ensured the food was delicious and the entire evening was flawless. The experience was so wonderful, the next wedding has been booked with Alice!”

st at the Copley, our wedding was simply spectacular but our daughter’s wedding far exceeded even our highest expectations! The Copley's wedding specialist was amazing to work with. From the moment we first met with her, my husband and I were impressed with her professionalism, responsiveness, unbelievable attention to detail, and sincerity. We are so happy we chose the Copley again and have their entire wedding team to thank for a wedding that was perfect in every way.

close attention to the small details.

I would HIGHLY recommend a reception at the Fairmont. Our guests still rave about this venue! Choosing the Fairmont as our venue was the best decision we made!!

estions to make the day stress free and perfect. She thought of everything and was so easy to work with. We loved everything about the Fairmont: location, food, service and its just beautiful!! They made our day so special and we highly recommend the Fairmont (and especially Alice!)!

ything we needed in the bridal suite the day of the wedding.

est wedding/events manager in the state of Massachusetts. Her composure, positivity, intelligence, transparency, attention to detail, humor, kindness, and sense of design were critical to the success of our wedding. The event space, food, specialty cocktails, and accommodations were all top of the line. Many guests commented that the hotel's catering was the best food they had ever eaten at a wedding. The hotel staff were willing to customize almost everything to our liking and was very receptive to requests we had regarding changes to lighting/sound/etc the night of the wedding. Lastly, in addition to Ashley we want to give a shoutout to our banquet managers, Haley Russell & Emily Lopez, and all of the staff who made our wedding such a joyous success. The Fairmont receives my highest recommendation for any and all events.

n desk, to the concierge, to the doormen (especially Michael), to the bellmen, to housekeeping, to the chefs, to the waiters & waitresses, to the room set-up and preparation team, to the bartenders and to everyone who worked the wedding reception, they were all spectacular! But mostly, we want to thank Ashley. Her professionalism and attention to detail to make Shannon and Eric’s dream wedding come true was second to none. We can’t thank her enough for EVERYTHING she did to make it happen. Without her leading the charge, we’re not sure it could have come off looking so effortless and in such an elegant fashion. She truly has a special gift to make people feel and believe they are the most important people in the world when it comes to their special event…and that’s what she did for Shannon and Eric. Thank You - Thank You - Thank You!!! She is one in a million!

the best woman and coordinator of the weekend. She made sure everything was perfect and that every detail was captured. She is always so prompt with email responses and always makes you feel so special. We had multiple people tell us how amazing the plated dinner was and saying that it was the best plated chicken they have ever had at a wedding. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change anything. The Fairmont was definitely the best decision. The food, service and the rooms were fabulous and made our wedding weekend perfect.

eful that we had our wedding at the Fairmont!

absolutely blown away. You should absolutely have your wedding here if you are considering it. You will look back on your pictures and see the most timeless venue. A+ service. No one has ever seen anything quite like it. It is a bang for your buck. You will absolutely be blown away. Thank you to Alice Fay and the rest of the Fairmont staff for giving us the most spectactular wedding!!!!! You all made our day so special for us and every single one of our guests.

r and that your day is just as important to them as it is to you. We worked directly with Alicia Lapriore and I can't say enough about how phenomenal she was. My husband and I have been in a couple of weddings since our own and it's made us realize even more so how truly lucky we were to have Alicia. Not once did my husband and I feel the stress that many couples feel on their wedding day; and that was in large part due to Alicia. She thought of everything and made our day better than we could have ever imagined. One of the first things I said to my husband the day after our wedding was, "I am going to miss emailing with Alicia". She is an absolute gem to work with and the Fairmont is lucky to have her.

allroom is every little girls dream come true. We are still getting compliments and most will say “it is the best wedding they have ever been to.”

responsive and quick. She is amazing and insanely talented at what she does. The Grand Ballroom is absolutely breathtaking and every detail from the food, to the service, to the drinks were top notch. The entire weekend was perfect and this is a true testament to the class and professionalism of the Fairmont staff. We continue to receive endless compliments on our wedding weekend. Thank you so much again and we highly recommend the Fairmont Copley!

ed the speakeasy bar in the Venetian and the beautiful blue colors of the Oval. The hotel lobby and hallways are also so opulent that we took all of our first look/portraits there. Our coordinator was Alicia LaPriore, who was wonderful to work with. She has a very calm approach that put all of us at ease during the planning process. We also loved the hotel rooms - each one is different, with features like fireplaces (non-working). The bridal suite was a dream and perfect for getting ready with the bridal party!

professional, and just so great. Alice was the best person of contact!!! She really helped guide us through the evening and made sure the night was set up for success. The space is also just gorgeous. Wouldn’t change anything!! Everyone loved loved loved the food!!! And did I mention flexible with the menu?! Planning everything with Alice was a joy!!!

ith ensuring that the day went smoothly, and when the day actually came, that could not have been farther from the truth. When we reflect on our wedding, we think of both the positives and the unfortunate negatives: The Positives: The hotel is beautiful. The chandeliers and hotel décor made for great wedding pictures, and when combined with the hard work from our florist and uplighting specialist, our jaws dropped when we entered the ballroom for the first time. The food was incredible and we had multiple guests tell us it was the best steak they’ve ever had. The food and drink service during our reception were top notch; every guest was served within five minutes, and our own personal attendant made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. The help and attention that we received from these individuals (without our needing to ask for it) made the latter part of the night run smoothly and put us at ease. The Concerning Negatives: Our coordinator at the Fairmont left more to be desired - • There was a general lack of communication throughout. Our wedding coordinator took no initiative to proactively reach out or inform us of details without our specifically asking the question (in some instances, multiple times before receiving an answer). • Lacked attention to detail and didn't know our ceremony start time ON THE WEEK OF OUR WEDDING. 120 chairs were set up for 157 guests. My now-husband is the one that noticed this before our ceremony, and our florist had to hunt down someone to bring in extra chairs. This caused chaos for our guests at seating time, as they were told that they could not enter the room, and, as a result, had nowhere to go • We had asked multiple times whether a Fairmont representative would direct guests into and out of the ceremony, cocktail hour & reception rooms, or whether our ushers should do so. We had been assured that our wedding coordinator would handle this directly. On the day of our wedding, our guests were left confused as to where to go, as our wedding coordinator was nowhere to be found. • I had told our wedding coordinator in advance that a handicapped would need a wheelchair and access to the handicap lift onsite. No one provided us with a wheelchair or directed us where to find one. When a wheelchair was finally provided, we were unable to operate the handicap lift, as our coordinator was, again, unavailable. • While on our honeymoon, we received a final bill (which we were not expecting, as we had settled the "final" total the week of the wedding and were told that only incidentals for guest parking would be accrued at that point), that was over $2,000 over what we were lead to expect to pay. There was no explanation as to why this differed from the final cost figures that we had been provided. I replied to our coordinator that I would take a look at the bill upon our return from our honeymoon, only to find that my card was charged that same day without my authorization. What we've taken away from this experience, and our advice to other couples, is that when you are selecting a venue, the wedding coordinator is just as important as the aesthetics of the building itself.

t shows!). She went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met! The food was amazing too. Our guests said it was one of the best wedding meals they had ever had. We couldn't be happier with how everything went.

simply breathtaking and filled with mirrors, chandeliers, and gold interior decorating, which made for the perfect backdrop for our photos. Alice Fay was our coordinator, and she deserves the highest praise! She is very prompt with emails and has a wealth of knowledge and experience to guide the planning process. She truly enjoys what she does and it shows! The food at both our tasting and the reception was absolutely delicious - our guests raved about the oyster bar and the lobster salad in particular. The staff made us feel like royalty on our special day and we could not be happier!

ff truly made us feel like royalty. Alice Fay was our coordinator, and I have her to thank for making the wedding of our dreams a reality. Alice was available every step of the way! I was a very indecisive bride and also faced with the challenge of planning the wedding from the midwest, where my husband and I live...Alice went above and beyond to offer her help and advice with literally everything from the menu selection, decor & room set up, to helping me find a new hair stylist when mine backed out THREE weeks before the wedding! She was incredibly professional and just an overall pleasure to work with. It there is one person you want on your team through the whole process of planning and on the big day itself, it's her. She's become a friend and I hope to keep in touch :) Our guests STILL can't stop talking about what an amazing wedding it was. And the food! Everyone agreed that the food was delicious and by far the best meal they have ever had at a wedding. So good, that Jeff and I made a point to eat our whole meal before making our rounds to chat with our guests. I could go on and on about how happy I was with just everything, but instead I'll close with this- As cliche as it sounds...if you envision your wedding to be a "magical fairytail" like I did - the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel is the place to make it happen. The Fairmont gave us the perfect start to our happily ever after....

oy and wonderful memories. Alice was by far one of the easiest people to work with. She was diligent, attentive to detail and thoughtful in her execution of everything. The service was truly "white glove", the food exceptional, the ambience spectacular. Our guests continue to share with us the wonderful experience. Most importantly, we were able to host a wedding our Daughter always dreamed her day would be. Thank you to all from the Doormen, the porters, the Bartenders, the Waiters and Waitresses. Each one of you made this special day one we will all remember . Your attention to detail and your five star service to all our guests made the difference, Would recommend this venue and Alice

rdination and for making our wedding so wonderful. She was responsive and so helpful throughout the entire planning process, answering all of our questions and recommending vendors to us who were so pleased with. Not only was the Fairmont (and Alicia and Sarah) so accommodating to me and my husband for our wedding, but they were also so wonderful to our parents and made them feel at ease and confident that they were in good hands. Alicia helped with the entire weekend - planning all of the day of events (bridal suite, grooms room, etc.), the cocktail hour in the Oval Room, reception and even the day-after brunch. She also worked wonderfully alongside all of our external vendors who were there that day. I am so thankful for all of her assistance and know we made the best decisions selecting the Fairmont for our wedding reception. Our guests are still talking about how elegant and beautiful the Ballroom was the night of the wedding!

ffortless and wonderful . They are truly remarkable at their jobs. We had functions in the Grand Ballroom, the Oval Room and Venetian Room which are all magnificent. All our guests commented on the elegance of the hotel and efficiency and friendliness of the Fairmont staff. I highly recommend booking your wedding at this gorgeous hotel which is situated in a beautiful part of Boston. It was a magical evening my family and I will never forget!

ion of our wedding. Julie Bees

nt created our dream wedding and I am so thankful to have gotten to work with her!

rofessional and made the planning process extremely easy, providing guidance with vendors, answering our (many!) questions in a timely manner, and giving us confidence that the night of the big event would be handled seamlessly as well (and it was!). Our guests have since raved about the exquisite venue, and our parents in particular have commented on how impressed they were with Alicia and the Fairmont team. Everything was first class from this venue, and we highly recommend it for couples looking for an elegant wedding in the heart of Boston!

ement was so welcoming and accommodating. Our wedding coordinator, Lyndsay P. was incredible. She worked with my husband and I to customize our entire day (timeline, menu, decor, etc.) to fit exactly what we were looking for. Her attention to detail, helpful recommendations and overall excitement and professionalism made our wedding planning process so much easier for Brian and I. Lyndsay, we can not thank you enough!

onal, helpful, and classy- it was just the perfect night! Highly recommend if you want your princess wedding! The Oval and Venetian rooms were beautiful.

were gorgeous spaces, and it was great to have the two locations to be able to transition from cocktail hour to the dinner reception. The Copley was very accommodating with all of our requests, including bringing in a taco stand as our late-night snack. We're very happy we chose the Fairmont Copley Plaza as our venue!

nd provide the best service every day up until the wedding and especially on the day of! I loved how Tracey made us feel like our wedding was the most important and always available to offer her advice. There is not one thing I would change from our wedding day. Beautiful venue and great service!

ecause we were blessed with working with Tracey Gavin. Tracey is a pro and took care of everything! Not only is this such a beautiful venue, but the food was outstanding! Our guests are still commenting on the amazing time they had at our wedding and how beautiful everything was. The bridal suite was also superb and was spacious enough for everyone to get ready in before heading to the church. The Fairmont is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about getting married there.

od was devine!!! I recently had a wedding there in the oval and venetian rooms which i absolutely loved MY WEDDING. Unfortunately, I did not have the best experience with the wedding planning team. Their Communication and Organization was a HUGE challenge for my wedding planner the rehearsal night. There were numerous mistakes made with my billing that they kept changing repeatedly through email, which I was not checking at the time because I was literally dressing for my rehearsal. When presented with final billing paperwork to sign after rehearsal, she could not explain the increased charges to the bill. The total numbers were not adding up to the previous amount that we had agreed upon in previous discussion. We ended up having to get management involved as our wedding planner had stormed off after we had questioned her on the billing discrepancys. When management was finally able to be contacted, she was extremely helpful and resolved the issues quickly. Unfortunately, this added a great deal of stress right before our rehearsal dinner. The following wedding morning, we found that 2 of my tall flower pieces and wedding toasting champagne flutes were missing which we addressed with the front desk- We were told someone would be in touch with us. 2 days had past and no one was following up with me, leading me having to call the hotel several times to try and get in touch with the wedding planning team/clean up. With a hotel of such stature and caliber, you would think a simple issue like this would have been handled swiftly and easily. Unfortunately it turned out to be a headache, and the last thing you want to deal with the day after your wedding while being emotionally drained and exhausted is trying to communicate with a non responsive staff just to find out what happened to your wedding flutes. Hopefully this is a situation that the wedding planning team can learn from to prevent for future weddings as it was Not fun to go through right before your wedding.

the entire hotel displayed, and he loved how grand and spacious it was. We met with Tracey and she was extremely helpful, from start to finish. I have dietary limitations due to celiac disease and the staff was truly spectacular in ensuring that I ate gluten free, not only at the wedding, but also at the tasting. Speaking of the tasting, this process was amazing - in all the wedding hype you occasionally forget to relax and enjoy the process, but it was impossible not to enjoy the tasting, we were treated like kings and queens for the day, I will never forget it. We are Italian/Americans, so good food is very important to any successful event with our families, and we were not let down, the steak and scallops were both melt in your mouth delicious. Our wedding was in the end of May, and a month later we are still getting compliments from guests about how stunning the hotel was, how attentive the staff was, and how delicious the food was. We held our cocktail hour in the Oval room and a friend of ours played piano while guests mingled. The room adjacent to the Grand Ballroom was reserved for the wedding party to enjoy cocktail hour on our own. The Grand Ballroom literally made my mouth hit the floor when we took a sneak peak before the guests entered, the photographer caught this expression, so I was able to see later that my husband's expression mirrored mine. We had 215 guests and it was perfect size, though it could have held many more guests if needed. The morning after, we held a brunch in the St James room, and it was just as perfect as every other detail of the entire weekend. If you are fortunate enough to find Fairmont Copley Plaza on your possible wedding venue list, you should know that its not just beautiful, it is truly the whole package. I hope that all other brides find their day to be as fairytale perfect as ours was, and I know you will not be disappointed with Fairmont Copley Plaza.

the fairy tale wedding I always wanted, but never thought possible.

there was never the feeling of being lost in a big hotel.

o the day of the big event, Erica was very responsive and helpful. From ideas on how to setup the room for ceremony & reception to locating our favorite wines for the reception, she is outstanding! The Fairmont was the perfect setting for our wedding with its older infrastructure reminding us of how old the city of Boston, and the hotel, really is...with a modern update (newly renovated). There is so much history in this particular Fairmont and it is just gorgeous! Wish I could do it all over again!

book a certain number at a wedding rate.

n Boston, but it is worth every penny for the quality and attention to detail. Tracey is an amazing wedding coordinator!

ond to ensure that our guests were content all night.

us, and we felt totally free to enjoy our evening. We were in the St. James wing, and therefore had an entire corner of the beautiful historic hotel to ourselves. The staff were courteous and friendly, and the catering manager and executive chef were even more helpful than I could have ever imagined--it was almost like having a wedding assistant or planner. The night of the wedding, someone was always on hand in order to coordinate logistics, and the food was delicious. My guests are still telling me almost a month after about how wonderful the food was. I highly and unequivocally recommend this hotel.

in particular Amanda Dunker and Sarah Rubin. Amanda is absolutely the best. We ended up going outside since the weather was glorious and took pictures in Copley Square. And believe it or not, the wedding was totally affordable - but you wouldn't know it from the pictures!

st of my guests left before 11 because valet parking ended at that time and no one told us that before hand.

family and friends so that the money would not be lost. I think the knowledge from planning a wedding is great for vendors but canceling gives you a much better idea of the kind of people you are dealing with some were fantastic and others were not as good to deal with.

d emails which made planning the menu and getting information next to impossible. We don't think she was a bad coordinator we just think she was overworked but it made the planning experience very stressful. Luckily 2 weeks before the wedding she finally turned her attention to us and got every done and the reception itself went off without a hitch.
