Margeaux Supper Parlor

d food and drinks, have a small-medium guest count, want a beautiful venue that needs minimal decor, and need something accessible by car AND public transport. [WHO MARGEAUX IS NOT FOR] You want a traditional wedding event space, prioritize dance floor space, have 100+ guests, or really love glitter. [VENUE] Margeaux's interior design style is romantic, warm, yet modern - absolutely gorgeous! Perfect if you don't want to do the heavy lifting on decorations. We did a full buyout, which includes the L-shaped dining space, the Oasis Room, and outdoor patio (which we didn't use due to winter). We put favors, stationary apps, and high tops in the Oasis Room, but it can also be used for extra seating. Glitter decorations are not allowed. [FOOD & BEVERAGES] The food – aka the reason we locked in the venue – is a fusion of New England and New Orleans cuisine. We've been to the restaurant several times for dinner and brunch, and the food is always great with generous portions. For our reception, we did a pre-fixe menu with a cheese & charcuterie station. It was very important to us that our friends with allergies/dietary restrictions had an equally amazing food experience, and Margeaux really delivered! The cocktail menu is fun yet sophisticated - with twists on classic cocktails (like the Bumbling Pair), but also unique drinks (like the Bali Dragon). They also had great N/A mocktails (like the Portrait of Lavender Gray). Highlights: Lobster bisque, ribeye, swordfish, apple crisp, and pecan pie [PLANNING & SET-UP] Rebekah (Owner) and Ally (Event Coordinator) were very professional and helpful! We had several virtual meetings with Ally and consistent email communication. Ally sent us their Special Events guide, venue photos, floor plans, and everything we needed to feel prepared. Both Rebekah and Ally emphasized that Margeaux strives to be flexible to accommodate unique events, and we really felt like they tried to work with us on the menu, layout & AV set-up, and our overall goals. [SERVICE] When we visited for regular dinner service, there were a few entrees that took longer than others. However, during our reception, service was great - everything came out in a timely manner and the servers and bartenders were very friendly and hospitable. Shoutout to Petar for helping set up the night before and to Brooke for being the sweetest! [VALUE] While everyone's event is unique, we felt that the value was great for the quality we received. The F&B minimum spend was more reasonable compared to many restaurants in Cambridge, MA. Ally and Rebekah were also very transparent about all the potential fees, so there were no surprises during our budgeting process. [LOCATION] Right in the heart of Porter Square, so it's accessible by the MBTA Red Line (Porter station). Located in a hotel building, which is good for out-of-town guests and GREAT if you need additional private space to change and store things. There is street parking around the block and valet parking for $10 at the hotel. [CONCLUSION] No AI was involved in the making of this review. We simply loved our experience working with Margeaux, and would highly recommend them for your events!

us every step of the way and were very responsive to any questions/ideas we had. We held our ceremony on the back patio and had a cocktail style reception inside for about 110 guests, and the space worked perfectly for us. They helped us conceptualize a menu with a combination of hors d'oeuvres and stations, and everything was SO good - our guests raved about the food afterwards. The restaurant itself is so beautifully designed that we barely needed to bring anything in, the interior does most of the work for you and makes for some amazing photos! We did a floral arch for the ceremony (which the restaurant was kind enough to bring inside afterwards for more photos), bud vases for the tables and a few other detail items. The evening itself felt like it ran very smoothly, and the staff were very kind, helpful and on top of things. We loved our wedding day at Margeaux and can’t recommend it enough. Thank you guys!

s truly exceptional. Our guests had a lively, joyful time, and it wouldn’t have been the same without the beautiful indoor and outdoor atmosphere and seamless coordination provided by the team at Margeaux. 10/10 would recommend hosting your event at Margeaux.

as part of the city. Margeaux was kind enough to build us a platform stage so that we could stand in the middle of our 150 guests. The sun set over the patio, so while most of the guests were shaded by our 6 PM August start time, the golden hour landed right on us. Sooo magical! We worked collaboratively with Margeaux on a custom meatless menu, signature drinks, and table layout. We did family style dishes and guests are literally still texting me months later about how much they loved the food. The interior decor does a ton of heavy lifting on its own - we barely needed any additional decorations. Cute wallpaper, chandeliers, mismatched vintage chairs, candle holders, etc are already there. It’s also great that there’s a hotel right above (and a sister hotel down the street). I also want to emphasize how lovely the staff was! Everyone was so warm, helpful, responsive, and open to creative ideas (did I mention they built us a stage…). We worked most with Ally and she was AMAZING. The pacing of the entire day was super smooth. There aren’t many restaurants in the Boston area that can fit 150 seated and still have room for a ceremony. If you’re looking for a chic city restaurant vibe that still feels curated, vintage, and intimate, this is the one. Thank you Margeaux!
