We had our wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception) at Pagu and it was perfect for us! We wanted a cozy setting with excellent food for our group of 70 people and the ability to incorporate a dance floor, which Pagu delivered on all fronts. Pagu was incredible to work with from beginning to the end. We worked with Amanda, the manager, closely, and she proposed a few different floor plans and worked with me to continue to tweak as our plans changed. I am a huge foodie and we had a wonderful tasting but I wanted to customize the

The Multicultural Arts Center was a beautiful venue for our wedding ceremony and reception! We had our ceremony outdoors in the courtyard just outside the building, and the staff helped us to get the permits to use the courtyard, helped to set up microphones for the ceremony, and also helped work with us on a backup plan to have the ceremony indoors in case it had rained on our wedding day. The courtyard is a charming spot with trellises and greenery and is surrounded by classic-looking New England buildings. Adria and Taylor on the staff were extremely helpful in helping

The Cambridge Boat Club was the perfect choice for our New England fall-themed wedding! It is an absolutely gorgeous location on the river with just the right amount of historic charm. We had originally considered going with all-inclusive venues, but ultimately opted for the flexibility we had with the CBC to craft our own vision. The venue features two distinct rooms, a larger room called the Drinkwater room, which can be used for the wedding dinner, the Club Room, which was used for cocktail hour and the dance floor, and a porch, which has a stunning view. The layout perfectly

Robyn and her team at Catalyst are hands down the best!! I work in events and because of Robyn, I was able to actually take my planning hat off and really enjoy the weekend and be in the moment. The entire planning process and day-of felt seamless and absolutely perfect. Our family and friends still can't stop talking about what an amazing wedding it was - the vibe, the food and the layout/flow! My husband and I felt so taken care of...Robyn, Carlos and the entire Catalyst Team went above and beyond! Cannot recommend Catalyst enough!!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding than the Hyatt Regency Cambridge! Karie Duran was an absolute gem throughout the entire planning process. She is the epitome of professionalism—so organized, supportive, and genuinely dedicated to making our vision a reality. Her insightful perspective put us at ease not only on the big day but also during the lead-up to it. On the day of the wedding, we were fortunate to have Roger on our team. He was amazing—keeping us hydrated and attentively catering to our every need. The two of them made a dream team, often

Working with the team at Royal Sonesta Boston was an absolute pleasure. Their communication style was open, clear, and highly organized throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and the value they provided was exceptional - the venue was beautifully updated, spacious, and offered stunning views of the Charles River. The staff was incredibly professional and accommodating throughout our wedding weekend. While we did not have our wedding onsite, we used the hotel as our home base for all of our wedding activities, including our site for accomodations. We worked closely with Alex, who went above

Our daughter just celebrated her wedding this past weekend at the Kimpton Marlowe, and I can't imagine a more perfect experience! We visited quite a few venues that we loved, but once we found KM and Rachel, we knew we had found our place. I'm not sure where to begin! The planning process was never stressful thanks to Rachel's patience, professionalism and organizational skills. Our daughter lives out of state, and I can only imagine the insane amount of emails that flew back and forth between her and Rachel! She kept us all calm, and we were always confident that

My wife Lauren and I got married at Harvest in June of last year. We can’t say enough good things about their staff and how much they helped us customize our wedding to make the perfect day! We had a bit of an unorthodox style of having a small ceremony on their patio, followed by additional guests arriving for our cocktail hour and reception. Their staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and fast with the changeover of event spaces. The food was delicious and having everyone be able to order their dinners at the table, instead of months ahead of

The Hyatt’s culinary team truly went above and beyond, crafting a menu that perfectly matched our tastes and impressed everyone.\nThe rest of the Hyatt staff mirrored their excellence. Every single person we interacted with was friendly, smiling, and ready to help, creating an atmosphere filled with good vibes.\nWe’re already looking forward to celebrating our anniversaries here to commemorate the stunning event the Hyatt helped us create.

We visited quite a few venues that we loved, but once we found KM and Rachel, we knew we had found our place. I'm not sure where to begin! The planning process was never stressful thanks to Rachel's patience, professionalism and organizational skills. Our daughter lives out of state, and I can only imagine the insane amount of emails that flew back and forth between her and Rachel! She kept us all calm, and we were always confident that the day would be perfect because of her extraordinary efforts. The venue itself has everything a bridal party could want. It's in an accessible location for out of state visitors to explore Boston and Cambridge. The staff are all warm, friendly and eager to help with anything. The price is very reasonable; we had ruled out Boston/Cambridge because of our budget, but KM turned out to be right on target. There is convenient parking on site. We were offered a block of rooms in the hotel for an amazingly good price, so that our guests didn't have to worry about driving after a big party! The food was exceptional, from appetizers to dinner and even late night snacks of pizza, cookies and milk! The reception room was gorgeous and is very easy to work with because of the neutral colors. I think one of our favorite parts was that we had the entire second floor of the hotel to ourselves! The ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and even a room for the bride to retreat when she needed to change was all included. The younger guests danced until the very end, and the \"older\" parents and guests found a quiet spot to hang out in the lobby area outside of the reception hall, filled with comfortable sofas, chairs and tables. All who attended were happy with the many choices to party, relax and mingle.\n\nIn my opinion, KM and Rachel are a still a hidden gem in the greater Boston area. I hope this review helps to get the word out that they are the place to go if you are looking for an affordable option with fabulous spaces, delicious food and most of all, an event planner who puts her heart and soul into everything she does. Thank you, KM and Rachel! 3","user_object_id":null,"account_id":null,"review_word_count":2231,"created_at":"2024-11-19T19:14:29.655Z"}},{"storefront_uuid":"f3672bee-85fa-409d-af52-99b979acde97","slug":"mothership","name":"Mothership","vendor_type":"VENUE","city":"Cambridge","state_province":"MA","postal_code":"02140","location":{"latitude":42.39489,"longitude":-71.1456},"home_service_market":null,"image_ids":["4c11bed7-6c4c-4afd-b9a0-26d1d5a4769b","3e22c21f-f631-401c-a0f3-af2bb9dcb239","7ecb306d-8dd5-4361-a583-74d6f2ce1153","8def0454-e18f-4769-ae8d-d439d3a985c9","92bc24d8-66d1-4c23-a043-3aa052841531"],"details":{"capacity":{"min":30,"max":100},"venue_setting":["venue-setting-indoor-space","venue-setting-covered-outdoor-space"],"service_level":["venue-service-level-all-inclusive"],"food_beverage_start_price_cents":null,"food_and_beverage_start_price_cents_per_person":null,"peak_space_start_price_cents":null,"off_peak_space_start_price_cents":null},"home_markets":[],"travel_markets":[],"metro_type":null,"response_stats":{"response_rate_percent":0,"average_response_time_minutes":0,"quick_responder":false,"non_responder":false},"top_couple_recommendation":{"review_uuid":"f6f74840-5a97-42a2-97e9-66b6c7a9b54a","review_status":"APPROVED","overall_rating":5,"reviewer_name":"Nicole Whyte ","email":"bridget@mothershipalewife.com","title":"Great new event spot!","review_text":"Mothership is a new restaurant and event space with many options for events of any size!

We can’t say enough good things about their staff and how much they helped us customize our wedding to make the perfect day! We had a bit of an unorthodox style of having a small ceremony on their patio, followed by additional guests arriving for our cocktail hour and reception. Their staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and fast with the changeover of event spaces. The food was delicious and having everyone be able to order their dinners at the table, instead of months ahead of time, really gave us the restaurant dinner vibe we were going for. The bartenders did any signature cocktail we wanted to do and the pastry chef made an excellent cake and dessert cart. The outdoor space was gorgeous for our ceremony and as the sun started to fade, the string lights above made it a beautiful spot for music and dancing. If you can fit it, I highly recommend making the outdoor space your dance area. \n\nWorking with the staff, and particularly Rose, ahead of time was excellent. The communication was great, and they were very open to multiple planning meetings and flexible with timing as my wife and I could only meet after work at normal dinner hours while planning our wedding. They helped us store decor items ahead of time and take them away the next day which was extremely helpful. \n\nBeing Cambridge residents, we were thrilled our venue was so close and convenient for everyone. There’s multiple nice hotels in the Harvard Square area for guests to stay and a local florist that was excellent to work with and very reasonably priced with free delivery and install to Harvest. We even took a quick walk down to the Charles River for photos after our ceremony which worked perfectly. \n\nOverall, we couldn’t have been more pleased with our selection of Harvest. It gave us the city wedding we wanted that didn’t break the bank and will be a special place for us to be able to visit for anniversaries for years to come!","user_object_id":null,"account_id":null,"review_word_count":1998,"created_at":"2025-02-02T17:22:15.140Z"}}],"city":"Cambridge","stateCode":"MA","stateSlug":"massachusetts","cityStateSlug":"cambridge-ma","listicleSlug":"best-venues-in-cambridge","imagePath":"https://images.zola.com"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/expert-advice/best-venues/[state]/[vendorListicleSlug]","query":{"state":"massachusetts","vendorListicleSlug":"best-venues-in-cambridge"},"buildId":"web-preauth-a979bc4f13ea24c28beeee50ce54740065f695b2","assetPrefix":"https://d1tntvpcrzvon2.cloudfront.net/vpassets","runtimeConfig":{"MIXPANEL_PROJECT_TOKEN":"7a536271a9739a74faec2d35adf1748f","SEGMENT_ID":"5uA1DSKtOVYOwQFc8VmVrXWt5PioMQla","UPLOADCARE_PKEY":"bed481ea2bef6baf44de","ZOLA_ENV":"production","APP_VERSION":"1.3.30","FLAGS":{"PAPER_LP_SAMPLE_PACK_SECTION":false,"enableDatadog":true},"BABY_HOST":"https://baby.zola.com"},"isFallback":false,"gssp":true,"customServer":true}
