The University of Massachusetts Club

aw the spectacular view the venue had to offer. We were so excited to find a classy and chic venue in the heart of downtown Boston where we first met. The planning process was pretty easy and Courtney was so patient with me and my husband's many questions. I was especially surprised how easy it was to plan the wedding from 3,000 miles away (we live in San Diego). The ceremony and cocktail hour was pretty seamless. The only issue was that the dinner service was pretty slow (I guess there was a problem in the kitchen), but our guests did not seem to notice and we were able to get our table visits out of the way between courses. By the time dinner was over all that was left to do was party...and we sure did! We have gotten TONS of compliments on our wedding, and what stuck out the most was how different it was from the normal ballroom/event room. I'm sad that our wedding was one of the last weddings at the UMass Club's Franklin St. location, but I'm sure the staff will make new location just as special!

active if you have a lot of out-of-town guests... all of my friends from NY fell in love with Boston and spent a good chunk of time looking out the windows!) 2) The service is excellent. The staff was very attentive and friendly, and our wedding coordinator, Courtney, was on top of every detail before the wedding and throughout the day. She's also patient: I emailed her a ton of questions and went back-and-forth on some things and she was always willing and ready to help. 3) The food was amazing. My husband and I both agreed that we had literally the best steak either of us has ever eaten at our wedding. Everyone else I asked said their food was delicious as well. 4) The value is unbeatable for a wedding in downtown Boston. My biggest concern was that most venues do alcohol by consumption only, which means you're left with a big question mark on your price tag at the end of the night. This could tack on thousands of extra dollars for an open bar. The UMass Club offers a 4-hour hosted open bar included in the price of dinner (you get limited options, but the package includes more than enough to satisfy any guest). If you want to upgrade to get different options, then you can do that as well for a fixed per person cost. I loved knowing ahead of time exactly what we'd owe so that I was not stressed about costing my family a ridiculous amount of money so I could offer an open bar. I could keep going on and on, but I think it's clear that I'd highly recommend the UMass Club for a wedding. Every guest I've talked to after my wedding has raved about the views and the whole club in general, so there seems to be a consensus!

rom the first meeting to the last minute of the wedding they were all professional and curtious. When I walked into the room before my guests for the first time, it was exactly how I had pictured I wanted it. The views alone would make any wedding! I cannot say enough great things about it!

ed at several places around the city but nothing could beat UMASS. Heather was wonderful to work with even when I know I asked her the same questions over and over again. The views were to die for and it had a bit of Glam to it. You get the use of the whole club which gives it a very private feel plus you are up on the 33rd floor. We had a separate room for the girls and guys too. We received so many compliments from our friends and family at how beautiful the club was. The appetizers and entrees were delish which many of us know the food sometimes is not very good. I am so happy with the Club and can't wait to go there for our first anniversary dinner! Thanks Heather and everyone at the Club..
