From the second we met with the staff of the museum of science and toured the venue we fell in love with the idea of having our wedding there. We were so excited to have the opportunity of an outdoor wedding under a veranda with the city of Boston in the background. It gave us the opportunity to have such fantastic photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We were also thrilled that a portion of what we paid went to charity as that is so important to us!

The museum gives you so many options where you can have your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception so it is perfect for everyone. The thing we will remember the most about the museum, however, is the staff. I don’t know if I can fully put into words how lucky we were to have Sage and Sheryl. Calling Sage the lead catering manager doesn’t do it justice. She is the ultimate hype woman and cares so deeply about your experience. She was so fun to spend time with during the tasting and will always be remembered as an exciting addition to our wedding. There was a moment during our first look photos that she came over to us to ask if we needed anything and got us food. Just a little thing we did not expect that made our experience that much more enjoyable.

We met Sheryl a little later into our experience with planning the wedding at the museum. We could tell from our first conversation with her that she brought just as much energy and excitement as Sage. She was so knowledgeable about the whole wedding experience and made it much less stressful on us. Looking back on our whole experience we wouldn’t trade having them be a part of our planning for anything. We will always look back fondly on our interactions with them. I still vividly remember them being SO excited when my wife and I were walking down the aisle after our ceremony and joining us on the dance floor later in the night. I never would expect our wedding planner and caterer to be such a lively addition to our wedding. They made the best day of our lives even that much better!

Our experience at Washburn Pavilion for our August wedding was nothing short of magical. From start to finish, the venue provided a breathtaking backdrop for our special day.

Brianna, the initial coordinator, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She effortlessly handled all our requests with minimal back and forth, making the planning process a breeze. Unfortunately, she left the day before our wedding, so I can't speak to the new staff, but if they follow Brianna's example, you're in good hands.

The warm summer night, accompanied by a beautiful sunset, set the perfect tone for our celebration. The venue's lawn was the ideal spot for games, adding a playful touch to the festivities. The dance floor under the twinkling lights created a romantic ambiance that enhanced the joy of the evening. If your budget allows, I highly recommend doubling the bistro lights for an even more enchanting atmosphere.

One standout aspect was the exclusive caterer, MAX, who delivered an insane culinary experience. The food was exquisite, and the service impeccable. Sage, who worked alongside MAX, was fantastic and contributed to the overall success of the event.

Despite the last-minute staff change, our wedding at Washburn Pavilion exceeded our expectations. The venue's charm, combined with the incredible team and services, made for a tremendous evening. I would undoubtedly choose Washburn Pavilion for another event and replicate the experience without hesitation. This speaks volumes about the venue's quality and its ability to host unforgettable celebrations.

I've told Cheryl and Lisa that they can never retire.

They are some of the best wedding coordinators that Boston has ever seen.

Let's talk about the venue itself for a second: It's the hidden waterfront gem of Boston. It has a dedicated parking garage. The catering is delicious. The spaces are so unique and each one of them has so many possibilities. Wilder Pavilion and the Blue Wing are so dang awesome.

I'm not a previous bride. I'm a Boston wedding photographer, who has been to the MOS more times than I can count. I know my way in and around all of the hallways not open to guests. I see all the crazy things that happen behind the curtain.

You won't find a more caring and competent team than at the Museum of Science. I promise.
