Where Beauty and History Meet, Inside and Out
At first glance, your guests may notice the striking brick exterior of this industrial-style building. But their gaze soon shifts to the natural beauty of the crystal blue waters of the Chestnut Hill reservoir. And because the large back doors open to fill the venue with fresh air, guests can enjoy the best of both worlds all at once.Reflect this dynamic duo of industrial architecture and natural beauty in your wedding menu. We can make designing your custom menu filled with local and seasonal ingredients easy and affordable. And, of course, every dish will be inspired by your individual taste and presented in an artful way that fits in perfectly at the museum.Space for Every Activity
Looking for a niche to set up a funky bar or relaxing lounge area? The round room is the perfect space for guests to gather. And what better way to relax than with some time apart from the kids? When they scurry off to the observatory room, you can enjoy a signature cocktail or tasty margarita with a unique bite fresh off our creative cocktail reception menu. Shanghai duck on wonton skins is a popular choice among Bostonian couples.One of the great things about a venue with multiple rooms is the ability it gives you to break up your wedding into distinct parts. You can treat guests to a fine plated meal in the overlook room upstairs and then completely change the tone with a delicious margarita bar in the round room. It will be clear when it is time to relax, party and !ndulge in dessert.
