We absolutely loved having our wedding at Pagu! From the start, the chef and owner Tracy was incredibly responsive and she got back to us right away when we inquired about hosting our wedding at the restaurant. She shared a detailed event order with sample dishes and estimated charges, which really helped us get the ball rolling with our planning. When we were able to visit Boston (we're based out of state), Tracy personally gave us our initial walkthrough. The combination of the restaurant’s cozy interior and beautiful, spacious outdoor patio made Pagu the perfect venue for our 100-guest celebration. One of

My wife and I were so thrilled with our experience at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center. The venue was very beautiful and our guests were so impressed. We thought it was reasonably priced given the quality of the venue. The staff (Taylor and Adria) were very responsive and helpful. We could not have been happier with our choice.

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

I cannot say enough about how incredible our experience was getting married at Kimpton Marlowe. Their coordinator, Rachel Barlaam, was available to us every step of the way. She gave us our initial tour, answered all our questions throughout the planning process, guided us through our tasting and planning out logistics, managed our room block, helped with welcome bag and decor drop off, and was there to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day of our wedding. Her communication, organization, and attention to detail are outstanding and made the whole process so easy. The space itself is gorgeous. Recent

From the start, the chef and owner Tracy was incredibly responsive and she got back to us right away when we inquired about hosting our wedding at the restaurant. She shared a detailed event order with sample dishes and estimated charges, which really helped us get the ball rolling with our planning.\n\nWhen we were able to visit Boston (we're based out of state), Tracy personally gave us our initial walkthrough. The combination of the restaurant’s cozy interior and beautiful, spacious outdoor patio made Pagu the perfect venue for our 100-guest celebration.\n\nOne of the biggest reasons we wanted a restaurant wedding was the food, and Pagu absolutely delivered! Amanda and Chris T. took great care of us during our food and drink tastings, and everything was truly fantastic. The string beans, chicken katsu, miso cod, and wagyu beef were standout dishes. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about them! Tracy’s custom hot honey biscuits were also a huge hit as a late-night snack, and both the double chocolate and strawberry cakes were delicious crowd-pleasers. Like many couples, we barely had time to eat during the whirlwind of the day, but we were so happy that Pagu prepared a to-go bag of all of our food and it was all still incredibly delicious, even the next day!\n\nAs the big day approached, the team answered all our questions promptly and worked closely with us to rearrange the table layout so everyone could be seated comfortably. We held our rehearsal at the venue the day before, and Amanda was incredibly helpful in coordinating everyone and making sure we all felt confident and prepared for the ceremony. The Pagu team also went above and beyond to accommodate our last-minute requests (including pickleback shots and matcha cookie favors), which was deeply appreciated.\n\nEverything went off without a hitch on the actual wedding day. The transitions between ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner were all totally seamless, thanks to the coordination of Amanda, Chris, and Winson; it was clear that they are all seasoned pros at running a wedding, which helped us relax and enjoy the day worry-free! We can’t recommend Pagu highly enough for a wedding or special event! The food, the space, and, most importantly, the people made our day unforgettable and exceeded all expectations. We were incredibly impressed with the whole team throughout the entire process. There were so many thoughtful touches and interactions that happened throughout the planning and on the day itself. If you're considering a restaurant wedding, you won’t regret choosing Pagu!","user_object_id":null,"account_id":null,"review_word_count":2621,"created_at":"2025-07-11T04:02:59.485Z"}},{"storefront_uuid":"97674546-a628-4eb2-8d3c-a821a51dbfe7","slug":"sheraton-commander-hotel","name":"Sheraton Commander Hotel","vendor_type":"VENUE","city":"Cambridge","state_province":"MA","postal_code":"02138","location":{"latitude":42.37725,"longitude":-71.12294},"home_service_market":null,"image_ids":["e0a3ef5e-476f-4b2a-87ba-702127866a0f","7a196ec7-34c5-4ef2-a7c3-92f94d98211f","72f81f1c-9199-40c0-ab89-7ff58aa69948","9ef90d84-2742-463c-981f-1ede9ea008de","1e7c8d8c-1fcd-4458-b972-fa58b4c5ae05"],"details":{"capacity":{"min":10,"max":200},"venue_setting":["venue-setting-indoor-space"],"service_level":["venue-service-level-all-inclusive"],"food_beverage_start_price_cents":500000,"food_and_beverage_start_price_cents_per_person":15000,"peak_space_start_price_cents":100000,"off_peak_space_start_price_cents":100000},"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":"0c43a295-170b-496a-a266-e6ea92a6135c","review_status":"APPROVED","overall_rating":5,"reviewer_name":"Dianna B","email":"kdnyewedding@gmail.com","title":"Great event professionals!","review_text":"The team at the Sheraton Commander were amazing!

Since it is a historic building, there are some restrictions to be aware of, e.g. no sparklers or ceiling drapery, and existing wall decor generally need to stay on the wall. This was no issue for us since we had a clear vision for the wedding theme and decor, and enlisted the help of Tastings Catering (highly recommend, since they have previous experience working in this space and also handle some of the decor) and Designlight.

Their coordinator, Rachel Barlaam, was available to us every step of the way. She gave us our initial tour, answered all our questions throughout the planning process, guided us through our tasting and planning out logistics, managed our room block, helped with welcome bag and decor drop off, and was there to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day of our wedding. Her communication, organization, and attention to detail are outstanding and made the whole process so easy. \n\nThe space itself is gorgeous. Recent renovations have left plenty of character (e.g. beautiful tilework in the lobby, spiral staircase great for photos), while giving everything a fresh feel and keeping it neutral enough to be a great backdrop for any decor. We loved having the entire second floor reserved for our event and how easy it was to transition between the different spaces for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Plus having the guest rooms right upstairs meant less moving around for our older guests and we didn't have to worry about people driving back at night. The location is fabulous and the beautiful courtyard sets the entrance back from the street which makes a huge difference in the feel as well as the logistics of loading/unloading people and things.\n\nOur guests raved to us about how good the food was. We loved the range of options available to us and everything came out delicious and plentiful. Catering staff were so professional and attentive during the event.\n\nPlus soaking in the big tub in the bridal suite at the end of the night and looking out at the gorgeous view of the city were a perfect end to the day.\n\nThe overall vibe at Kimpton Marlowe is so friendly and warm. It feels like a small boutique hotel. It doesn't feel corporate or cookie-cutter at all. This is partially due to some of their amenities like free coffee in the morning and wine in the evening, dogs being welcome, the cozy bar area downstairs, etc. But also due to their incredible staff. Every single person we interacted with was friendly and helpful. Staff consistently went above and beyond to provide an excellent experience for us and our guests. (Just one example - a member of the catering team remembered that a certain guest was gluten-free and found her at our brunch the next day to offer her gluten-free options). \n\nI really cannot recommend this venue enough. It was beyond perfect and if I had to do it all over I would 100% book here again!!","user_object_id":null,"account_id":null,"review_word_count":2553,"created_at":"2025-07-23T20:35:38.428Z"}},{"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-covered-outdoor-space","venue-setting-indoor-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!
