Modern Luxury Ballroom Located in Downtown Boston
The newly renovated InterContinental Boston in Boston, MA, is a wedding venue offering exceptional event spaces for an unparalleled wedding!
Completed in August 2020, all event space and guestrooms have undergone a full renovation. Newly completed in 2024, our restaurant, bars, and lobby have undergone a full renovation as well. We are introducing our new restaurant (Matria), new bar (Bar Fellini), and speakeasy (The Loyall Counting Room). These new designs set a classic setting to build your dream wedding weekend - completely with different space for each event.
While the hotel itself is modern, it is located just footsteps from history. Situated on the site of the Boston Tea Party, couples and their guests can look out of their ballrooms to enjoy views of the Boston Harbor. The event spaces can host over 300 guests and with ample rooms, there is plenty of space for out-of-town guests to stay the weekend.
Urban and contemporary design is the focal of InterContinental Boston! Two exquisite ballrooms (the Abigail Adams Ballroom and the Rose Kennedy Ballroom) overlook the Boston skyline for a cultivated ambiance. Large, lantern-style chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling windows add a dose of warmth without losing the modern flavor. The walls are neutral in color and imbued with simplicity, making them an ideal backdrop for any kind of decor. The open floor layout encourages mingling among your guests for a fluid and dynamic party.

We can't thank you enough for doing an outstanding job helping out with our daughter's wedding. The entire InterContinental Boston Experience went beyond any of our expectations. Special thanks to Corey for assisting w/all our requests, especially being the only one who could pin up our daughter's bustle!

We had our wedding reception (175 guests) in the Rose Kennedy ballroom and were so happy with this choice! Corey was amazing to work with from the very start! Everyone was so accommodating! Everything the day of our wedding went so smoothly. We received so many compliments about the food and service. A beautiful location right on the water with floor and ceiling windows in the ballroom.

We had our wedding hotel guest block as well as a bridal suite at the Intercontinental for our wedding that was a few blocks away. Throughout the entire process, Tiger and Bonnie were fabulous with communication and accommodating requests. Originally we had planned to take some family photos outside of the hotel, but it was such a hot day that we pivoted to an indoor plan and Bonnie helped us get settled in one of their lovely event spaces that wasn't being used that day. All of our guests loved the hotel and were well taken care of. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for a very important weekend!

First...important info for you...my now husband and I had a small wedding of 40 people at the Intercontinental in two of their smaller rooms on the second floor. I'm sure a small wedding like ours requires less attention than a larger one.
Review...The location was beautiful. We were able to take pictures outside and the small rooms had walls of windows from floor to ceiling. The rooms themselves were pretty "basic" but I would expect that from small rooms (not really meant for a wedding) and it was perfect for us. The hotel linens provided were adequate and I was able to order (for extra money) some colored napkins to help things pop. For the small "I do" package we got, it felt worth it.
That all being said, here are some cons...possibly due to our small size, we weren't given a food tasting and we felt that the food was just ok. For the most part all of the fees were made clear up front; however, we had an issue with paying for parking and some overage charges after our special day. Everything was resolved but it was a headache that we didn't want to deal with the morning/week following the wedding.
We would still highly recommend the Intercontinental for a wedding.

Our wedding was 12 years in the making, and we could not have asked for a better venue than the Intercon, Boston.
Leading up, we had total faith in the team we worked with in Charlene, then to Corey & Breanne. Emails were answered in a timely manner and always communicated in the best manner.
Corey & Breanne, leading up and day of, were a dream team. They took care of myself & my husband and everything we could have asked for. And believe me, I am Type A, the bar was set extremely HIGH.
Even when a gust fainted (was totally fine) mid cocktail hour, and the groom stepped on and ripped my dress, Corey and Breanne jumped into "we can fix this" and handled everything with ease. I am beyond grateful for them, and I recommend this venue to anyone who wants to feel completely supported (even without a wedding planner) on their big day (and all the days leading up).
Beyond the planning, the entire Intercon staff was AMAZING. Waitstaff, bartenders, concierge, restaurant staff - everyone was KIND, HAPPY TO HELP AND SO EXCITED for us and our families and friends. I am so happy we chose Intercon and cannot say enough good things on how we were treated and how EPIC our party turned to be.
Thank you to the Intercon Staff. We are forever grateful.

We had the best experience with the InterContinental Boston and all of their staff members. From switching our wedding to June 2021 to May 2022, the hotel could not have been more flexible and accommodating. The space is stunning, the food is great, and the staff are wonderful. Can't say enough good things about our experience.

We had already booked our room blocks at the InterContinental for our November wedding, and due to new COVID guidelines we had to switch our wedding venue at the very last minute. Both Laura and Karly went above and beyond to accommodate us and our families. Karly was incredibly organized and responsive and pulled together the most amazing weekend for us (all within 9 days)! Our guests were blown away at how seamless the whole day was and we couldn’t imagine having had our wedding anywhere else. I’d recommend Karly and her team to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding venue!

Worked with the intercontinental for room blocks and I cannot recommend them enough. Phenomenal to work with, beautiful rooms (my bridesmaids and I used one of their suites to get ready in!) and incredibly accommodating. Not to mention a kind and able team on staff to help with any needs you may have!! So glad we blocked with the Intercontinental for our wedding day/guests!

From the moment we stepped foot into the Intercontinental, we knew it was THE venue. The hotel is gorgeous. It is modern, clean, inviting, and always beautifully decorated. The staff- from the parking attendants, to the waitstaff, to the concierge are all so friendly and helpful. The event management staff were INCREDIBLE. They go far beyond their job description, giving guidance and advice, and handling every question and task with utmost competence and positivity! They worked with my husband/family and I to ensure that we were getting everything we wanted and still staying within our budget. They covered every single little detail- things that you would never think of, and reviewed those details with us several times before the wedding. The tasting.... one of my favorite days! The staff makes you feel like royalty! The food was amazing, however if there was something you didn't like, you could literally speak to the head chef and discuss tweaks to make it better for your personal taste/event. Every moment of planning and preparing our event at the Intercon was so enjoyable, thanks in huge part to the staff. As part of hosting our wedding at the Intercon, we were able to stay in the most beautiful suite- such a great perk. On the big day, there was literally no stress. Everything was handled... and even when it "wasn't", the staff made you believe everything was under control, and made sure that they handled it without worrying you. After our ceremony (off site) we returned to find our coordinators literally carrying my dress, helping the photographer with seating/lighting, keeping myself and my family hydrated during pictures... anything you can think of- they did it. During the reception (which by the way was GORGEOUS), the staff made sure that we stayed on track with our timeline, that we always had a drink in hand, and kept us in the loop with what was going on without being overbearing. There was not one single thing that we had to worry about all night, all we had to do is enjoy ourselves.
I could go on and on. Our wedding at the Intercon turned out better than the dream I have always had. Choose the Intercontinental Boston. You will not regret it.

My husband and I got married on NYE and we had an incredible experience at IC Boston. Throughout the entire process, we worked with Nicolette Ortiz and Chanel Goldberg and I couldn't have asked for a better team. They were both extremely attentive and detail oriented and helped make our day that much better! Everyone at IC Boston was friendly and accommodating - from the check-in staff at the front desk to all of our servers and bartenders at the reception - 5 star service all around. The venue treated our families and our guests with the utmost respect and made the evening special for everyone involved.

I don't even have enough words to describe how incredible the InterContinental Boston is! But I'll try...
At the very beginning of the wedding planning process, we were having a hard time finding a venue. However, the second we stepped into the InterContinental we knew right away this was the place!! The bell hop (I believe his name was Adam but I may be wrong) was so excited to greet us. He seemed genuinely happy to have us there! Then, we met Nicolette, the wedding/event coordinator and we were sold!! Aside from just being awesome, she went ABOVE & BEYOND the entire wedding process, and made everything so seamless and easy. She promptly answered my texts and emails any day and hour of the week! All of the staff at the InterContinental were so incredible and helpful. They really are top notch when it comes to customer service.
I'd also like to give a shout out to Robin who was our waitress at the tasting, and then at our post wedding breakfast, and a couple other times throughout. She was so great!!!
The food, the customer service, the amenities, the rooms, EVERYTHING was perfection at the InterContinental Boston. Thank you!

The Intercontinental was amazing. The food was outstanding. Most important, their Director of Catering - Paul is a total standout. He's the reason we chose the venue after talking to all of the downtown hotels. Responsive even at the quote stage, and had suggestions and worked with us to get exactly what we wanted. The evening was perfect. All in all, every single person that we worked with at the InterContinental was fabulous. oughly 120 of the 140 guests we had flew into Boston for the wedding and you really cannot beat the location on the waterfront, near the Greenway, near Faneuil Hall, a short walk to the T and so on. The accommodations in the rooms were lovely and our parents were both upgraded to suites for their stays. Adam, the concierge, was extremely knowledgeable giving our guests information about the city and attractions/restaurants. As for the venue itself and the way the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception all were held were absolutely perfect. The set up was flawless (especially for having only 60 minutes to flip the entire room from ceremony to reception). All of our guests claimed it was the most beautiful wedding they have been to and everything was perfect!

For guests coming in from all over the world my husband and I hoped to be able to give them a very Boston experience. Right on the greenway park and right on the water, we knew it would be a big hit. Everyone at the hotel was a treat to work with. Karly and Paul kept everything seeming simple for us since we are both super busy. I know a lot of details went on behind the scenes during the wedding plans and we like how low stress our planning process was. They got all the details perfect even the special meals for some of our friends. They helped us with the bags we wanted to give out to our friends and family staying at the hotel. Their concierge Adam was so helpful in handling some last minute questions from people because of the weather. The entire staff and hotel was extraordinary for us. They treated our friends like family and I know many have even stayed there since our wedding.

We chose the InterContinental hotel because we had history there, from our first date to staying the night of our engagement. When we met, Paul Melino, the wedding planner, we knew this was the place for our wedding. Paul and his team, especially Karly, go above and beyond to make your day stress free and perfect. We could not have asked for anything more, and if we did, they would've done it for us!

The InterContinental Hotel in Boston is a wonderful place to have a wedding. The food is delicious, the event service is great, and the waterfront location and views from the floor-to-ceiling ballroom windows are amazing! We received many compliments from guests regarding the food and cake served at our wedding. The convenience of having guests stay at the hotel is also really great. The team that helps you plan your wedding at that venue is extremely professional, organized, and keeps your event running smoothly from start to finish! I highly recommend this venue to any bride looking to have a downtown Boston wedding!!

The hotel itself is beautiful and makes an amazing impression for guests with beautiful views of channel and luxurious room accomodations, but the event staff made the experience so much fun and enjoyable. The staff is so attentive from start to finish. Communication was great as each member of the team that I worked with was readily accessible by phone and email. There were constant tweaks and adjustments throughout the process that they handled seamlessly and they seemed to think of things before I did. They made the planning process enjoyable which I have heard can be a nightmare.
The planners that I worked with were, of course, present on the day of the wedding, but there was also an extended staff that were just as much of a pleasure to work with. I truly felt like a princess and my every need and desire was attended to, including one of the coordinators grabbing me a peanut butter sandwich about 20 minutes before my ceremony when I was feeling cranky. There was even a point in the night when I spotted a 5 hour energy drink sitting on a table (wasn’t mine) and when I inquired where it went, after I went back for it and it was gone, the staff member rushed down to the gift shop to get me one even after I insisted she did not have to.
The food was great. It not only tasted great but was presented beautifully; the presentation looks more like a 5 star restaurant than banquet food. Each course was amazing, hot and fresh, and truly impressed our guests. The timing of everything was perfect.
Can’t say enough. I tell everyone that is planning to have a hotel wedding to have it at the Intercontinental Boston.

What a pleasure it was working with Paul and Genna at the InterContinental in Boston! After a year and a half of wedding planning they are more like family to my husband, family, and I! I've been a part of planning other weddings and have never seen one go as smoothly as mine. Every detail, every minute was taken care of and the day was stress free, beautiful, and an absolute dream! Pricey bottom line but worth every penny!!!
