We cannot recommend Pagu highly enough for your wedding or event. From the very first email, they were unlike any of the venues we had reached out to. Overall, Pagu is flexible, which not only made wedding planning MUCH less stressful, but it made our wedding personal to us. Every time we had a question, they had an answer and a solution. You’re not messing around with rentals for plates, chairs, tables, linens or tons of decor. The space is beautiful and already functions so well as a restaurant, allowing you to just be their guest on your wedding day.

The FOOD! Multiple guests came up to us and said it was the best wedding food they had ever had. Everything was hot, fresh, aesthetically plated and delicious. The family style sharing was relaxed, fun and nobody had to wait in line. The cake was so light and beautifully decorated.

Day-of, what really stood out was the exceptional service and kindness we received from the entire team at Pagu. Everyone who works there was so positive, accommodating, and thoughtful. When I was “hiding” before the ceremony, the team delivered an entire tea/coffee service with some of the food to make sure I got something to eat! When we got back to our hotel, we found a portion of each dish in our fridge, just because they heard we hadn’t finished our second course or dessert while we were socializing. It was above and beyond thoughtful!

Beyond taking extremely good care of us, all of our guests commented that it was one of the most relaxing weddings because the Pagu team thought of everything. At most weddings, there’s not a server checking in with you about your allergies, restrictions, and if you would like a drink. Since Pagu is a restaurant, you get outstanding restaurant-quality service. They even made a last minute, individual substitution for a new dietary restriction on the spot, and allowed that guest to enjoy the food, too! Another huge bonus was there was almost no bar line, since they’re used to making drinks for this many people!

Other highlights of our experience include doing the cocktail creation session with Jimmy. We aren’t big drinkers, so we almost didn’t do this, but we are so glad we did - it was a blast, and the guests loved the personal cocktails. We highly recommend it!

The space is gorgeous, the people are a dream, and the food was outstanding. Amanda (the venue coordinator/manager) was so easy to work with and on top of everything. Even our very traditional families (who were very skeptical when we said we were getting married at a restaurant) said afterwards it was one of the best weddings they’d been to.

We had our Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Drinks at PAGU, and it was the perfect setting to welcome our friends and family into the Boston/Cambridge area! We did a four-course family style dinner for our Rehearsal Dinner, and the food was amazing - our guests loved the food and the variety that they were able to try. After the dinner, the PAGU staff helped transition the space into a Welcome Drinks space with drinks and passed appetizers. We loved working with Amanda as our event coordinator to iron out the details leading up to and the day-of the event, and the owner Tracy was present throughout the day to make sure everything tasted great and went smoothly. Thank you again to the PAGU team for helping to make our wedding weekend so memorable!

We had our wedding reception at Pagu this September and could not recommend it more highly! Tracy and her team were so wonderful to work with. The planning process was easy and fun, and Tracy and her staff were super proactive in anticipating and preventing possible issues and challenges. The food and drinks were simply outstanding (our guests raved about it!), and the venue setup was perfect. Pagu feels sophisticated, intimate and comfortable as a venue. Between the bar area, the outdoor area, and the full restaurant floor, there are lots of different spaces for people to mingle and interact. Tracy and her team are finally just really friendly, warm and caring people - we could not be happier with our choice!
