FAQs
How much do wedding venues cost?
There are many factors contributing to venue cost, including venue location and size, the type of venue, the season, and services included. Boston offers a wide selection of venues, including smaller venues for under $5000, mid-sized venues or larger venues with limited services for $5,000 - $20,000, and high-end ballrooms, historic mansions, and waterfront locations with extensive service packages for over $20,000.
How far in advance should I book my event?
Although Boston offers many spaces to host an event, it's best to be proactive and inquire about availability as soon as possible, especially for larger events like weddings. Consider the popularity of your desired venue, season, and event size. Larger events in popular venues should be booked at least 12 - 18 months in advance. Smaller, less complex events should be booked 3 - 6 months in advance.
