t the planning process, which would have been impossible to navigate without her. Many thanks to her specifically.
This hotel is stunning. Besides being directly adjacent to the Public Garden, the renovated lobby is beautifully appointed, and both the Sanctuary and Stuart Room provide a wonderful ambiance. The most professional and friendly staff served our delicious hors d'oeuvres, meals, and desserts. Our guests raved about the food’s quality, and my husband and I concur!
The hotel's accommodations before, during, and after the big day made my husband and me feel so special. Every staff member we spoke with was beyond pleasant. Returning to our lovely hotel room at the night's end was truly the icing on the cake.
This is your place if you want a gorgeous, luxurious, and stress-free wedding!

There is no more perfect venue for a Boston city wedding than the Four Seasons Hotel Boston on Boylston Street. Our high expectations were far exceeded. Describing the experience a...
s merely perfect would be an understatement. Working with Caroline as our wedding coordinator made the day truly exceptional. From the initial planning stages to the execution on the wedding day, Caroline's dedication, expertise, and genuine care were unparalleled.
Caroline guided us seamlessly through every step of the planning process from the moment we signed our contract. Her organizational skills were impeccable, ensuring no detail was overlooked, while her calm demeanor kept us at ease throughout. Caroline’s prompt responses and clear communication were invaluable, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. As someone who values organization and communication, I was incredibly impressed and more than satisfied.
The Four Seasons is not your typical wedding venue. The level of care, compassion, and commitment we experienced was truly exceptional. Caroline’s involvement felt as if she were planning her own wedding—her dedication to making our day perfect was that profound. Her kindness and attention made us feel like royalty throughout the entire process, not just on the wedding day. During the wedding weekend, we were treated to an extraordinary upgrade to a suite overlooking the Common, complete with champagne and a selection of treats to start the celebration. The Four Seasons consistently goes above and beyond with thoughtful touches like these, making every moment memorable. I’m still dreaming of our stay!
A significant factor in our choice of the Four Seasons was their incredible culinary reputation. After our tasting, we can confidently say that the food lived up to the hype. We sampled an array of dishes, including first courses, entrees like miso-glazed chilean sea bass and filet with truffle pesto, and a variety of desserts. We had the best time at the tasting and were incredible impressed! Of course, Caroline was present and guided as along the way. The food at the actual wedding was exceptional—fresh, delicious, and perfectly prepared. The team accommodated all allergies flawlessly, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the quality and taste.
On the wedding day and in the days leading up to it, Caroline orchestrated everything flawlessly. She managed vendor coordination, timeline execution, and any unexpected issues with grace and efficiency, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without stress.
Additionally, Caroline went above and beyond by assisting us with our honeymoon at another Four Seasons location. She secured a fantastic room rate in Hawaii and coordinated with her colleagues there to ensure a seamless transition and continued exceptional treatment. This made the shift from wedding celebration to honeymoon effortless.
Our wedding was a dream come true, largely thanks to Caroline. Her professionalism, passion, and genuine desire to make our day perfect were unmatched. Two weeks later, our friends and family are still talking about it, with many claiming it was the best wedding food they’d ever had and the most well-organized event they’d attended. We wholeheartedly agree, and this acclaim is a testament to the hard work of Caroline and the entire Four Seasons team. We highly recommend Caroline to any couple planning their wedding at the Four Seasons Boston. Thank you, Caroline, for helping us create such wonderful memories!

hamps is top notch. He is so easy to work with, friendly, passionate about what he does, has great suggestions and kept all of the vendors on task and on time. The team was so accommodating from the moment we booked with them. Everything went smoothly from the catering, rentals, decor, flow of events, room blocks, cocktail hour, morning after brunch, etc. They are true professionals, including the concierge, waitstaff, chef, valet, etc. The food was incredible! Our guests are still talking about how amazing our wedding weekend was and I'm so thankful for everyone at the hotel for making it the best day of our lives. There is nothing that I would change and I can't wait to relieve it through our photography and videography!

As a bride with experience in events I knew I wanted to do something different than a traditional wedding. After meeting with numerous venues, we finally found THE ONE. We met with...
Jim Peters at this property and he quickly won my now husband (also in events) and I over. Jim's imagination is unreal and we knew we could trust him to bring our vision to life.
It's been 2 years since that original meeting and over those years we've stayed at the property numerous times. We've become so close with their staff that they now seem like family. From Zach and Brian at valet, to Willie and Luis in the lounges, Chanel and Philip in special events, Kat in accounting, Betty and Vuk in catering and Lian in house keeping. We've met and have fallen in love with them all.
Not only was the theme of my wedding executed perfectly last night, the food was outstanding and my guests have been nonstop raving about the palpable hospitality of this team. From A-Z they nailed it and I can not be more thankful.

ur daughter's wedding. He referred us to excellent vendors with whom he worked closely to make the planning and the event run seamlessly. The service given by every department head, down to the waiters was impeccable and our guests said that this was the best wedding they had attended. The food was fabulous and the beef tenderloin was tender enough to cut with a fork. The evening was topped off with a decadent endless desert buffet that was spectacular.

to what already was a fabulous wedding weekend. The food was unbelievably good, with an interesting variety. More than one guest has said that it was the best brunch they had ever eaten. Others talked about the pleasure of trying every single different dish. We held the event in the very attractive Governor’s Room. It was nice to have a light and bright space after the evening and night events of the day before. The contrast was really pleasant. Finally, the staff was truly nice, going out of their way to serve and provide for all guests needs. Highly recommend.

We visited almost every venue in Boston that can accommodate 250 guests. From the moment we toured the Four Seasons with Lindsay Otis, we knew it was the one. The classic beauty a...
nd elegance of the space along with the attention to detail and service separated the venue from every other we visited. Lindsay was instrumental in making our day exceptional and we would have been lost without her. Lindsay and her assistant Anne made the planning process easy and enjoyable. In terms of the actual wedding weekend, I don't have words to do it justice. From the moment our guests arrived at the valet for cocktail hour to the moment they left the after party, they were taken care of. The entire Four Seasons Boston staff is professional, attentive, and friendly. The food was absolutely incredible (still hearing from our guests about much they enjoyed it!), the service was exceptional and the space was stunning. We honestly, cannot say thank you enough to Lindsay and the whole Four Seasons Boston team for making our wedding weekend the time of our lives. Thank you, thank you! We cannot recommend the venue enough and look forward to many future stays and visits to the hotel.

We literally looked at every hotel in the city of Boston for our wedding venue. I mean we spent almost every weekend for four months looking at some venue. Finally, we took a tour ...
of the Four Seasons and instantly knew that it was the venue we had been looking for. I can’t believe we wasted time looking at anything else. The Four Seasons Boston is beautiful, classic elegance. Philip was great to work with throughout the entire experience and the whole staff was so professional and accommodating the day of. We felt like they listened to what we wanted and surpassed every expectation. Our guests raved (and still do) about how amazing the food was and so our only regret was that we were too nervous to truly enjoy the amazing dinner.

Hosting our wedding at the Four Seasons was an unbelievable experience. The level of service is world class. I know they have planned weddings with budgets that far exceed ours and...
they gave us the same amount of time, attention, and courtesy as I imagine they do all of their clients. They were able to work with us to develop a wedding that was completely what we envisioned and within the budget.
Jim Peters was on top of every single detail. In the months and days leading up to the wedding I didn't have to worry about anything slipping through the cracks - I knew Jim and his team (Shelby, Scott, Joseph) were completely on top of things. On the day-of Jim worked with my parents, our band, florist, string quartet etc., all I had to do was show up and enjoy the day. Throughout the process Jim was able to offer great advice and suggestions for everything from room setup, to food and the schedule of events. The facility itself is gorgeous. The food is amazing. A significant number of our guests traveled to Boston and the Four Seasons was the perfect setting for a family reunion - people raved about the hotel location, their rooms, the Four Seasons staff, and how much fun they had hanging out at the Bristol or up in the spa/gym.
Additionally, the entire hotel staff went out of their way to help our guests. A perfect example of this occurred 48 hours before the wedding, when my husband's wedding band was shipped directly to the hotel. He discovered the jeweler cut the ring too small and he couldn't get it on his finger. The hotel staff immediately located a trusted jeweler, put him and his parents in the house car, and by the end of the evening the ring was fixed. We cannot thank the Four Seasons Boston enough for hosting the best weekend of our lives!

We loved everything about having our wedding at the Four Seasons in Boston! Jim was fantastic throughout the entire planning process as well as on the big day. He worked to meet a...
ll of our requests and make the day truly ours. He helped us to stay within our budget and make smart decisions about our other vendors by sharing his wedding wisdom. On the wedding day itself, Jim stepped up to provide assistance to an elderly family member who needed support throughout the ceremony. The entire staff at the Four Seasons was thoughtful and responsive. At our tasting, we whispered amongst ourselves that we would love to include an apple pie dessert on the menu, and minutes later a sample had been whipped up. We cannot say enough about the wonderful staff. Of course the hotel is beautiful. The aesthetics of the ballroom are elegant and formal, yet also very comfortable and modern. We loved having so much space for our guests to move about and socialize. Everyone raved about the food, both taste and presentation. We would highly recommend this hotel. In comparing multiple similar venues in Boston, we found the Four Seasons to be of the highest quality for comparable costs.
