Hotel Commonwealth Reviews

You should absolutely book this venue for your wedding! The venue has great design and aesthetics along with stunning views of the city and Fenway park. But you don't have to be a big sports fan to book this venue, even better than the look/views is the AMAZING food! Our guests continue to tell us how good their meals were and how beautiful they thought the hotel was. Most of them even stayed at the hotel, so we definitely recommend doing a room block! The team of coordinators and other staff, especially Cherie, Allison and Justin, were professional and attentive throughout the process. Day of coordination was completely handled and we did not need to worry about a single thing as Allison took care of it with our vendors. As if that was not enough, it was all the little details that sealed the deal, they account for everything. You will not regret booking Hotel Commonwealth when you have their delicious desserts waiting for you in your room after your reception (definitely do the dessert bar with the PB and Fluff tart). We cant wait to visit on Anniversaries to come!!

Absolutely amazing experience, we had an amazing stay they couldn’t have been nicer, accommodating and gorgeous suite. Our guests loved the hotel and the staff went out of their way to accommodate our needs.

I had the pleasure to work with Emily, the Catering Manager and her team for a past client of mines wedding in June 2018. Emily and her team were extremely attentive to my couples large wedding. My company, Something Bleu Wedding & Event Planning provided Month/Day of Coordination to the couple. From assisting with parking vouchers, getting guests settled in the hotel, to helping set up a beautiful wedding reception spot Emily and her team were amazing! The food was amazing as well!

I would highly recommend if you are looking to get married in Boston that you check out Hotel Commonwealth! You won't be disappointed!

My husband and I are very pleased we chose to host our big day at the Hotel Commonwealth. The amazingly talented event’s team lead by Emily went to every effort to make sure our special day was a huge success and exactly tailored to our own wishes. Emily was very responsive and was always available for another walk through to help us perfect all of our little details as well as made many welcome suggestions for vendors or decoration ideas. Our private tasting was lovely and they did not nickel and dime for an extra seat at the table. Through each course we got a thorough description of each plate, and were able to meet with the Chefs who would be cooking the day of our wedding at the end to discuss different options. The Chefs are very talented and were open to any culinary challenges thrown their way. Our guests are still raving about the food served that day! The space used for cocktail hour was gorgeous and was wrapped in floor to ceiling windows overlooking Fenway Park. It ended in an outside veranda which was a perfect spot for our guests to relax during our wedding in mid-June. The ballroom was spacious and the staff went to great lengths to accommodate our floor plan and decorations. Set-up was a breeze and everything came out just as we had pictured it. I also want to mention, Emily kept the night on track so there was plenty of time for dancing. The hotel was able to accommodate quite a few of our guests at a discounted rate, but be mindful that if there is an event being hosted at Fenway the prices will go up and availability will go down. Just a few weeks before our wedding a last minute concert was added at Fenway, and this greatly affected our room availability. The hotel was able to accommodate non-event rate parking after much back and forth, which we greatly appreciated, but it was one of the few negative experiences we had through this whole process. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience and would highly recommend the Hotel Commonwealth to anyone looking for the perfect Boston wedding!

I had my wedding at this hotel and it truly was one of the most magical evenings of my life. The good was incredible and the team could not have been more like family. The Fenway location allowed for amazing pictures overlooking Fenway Park and the Citco sign. For any bride, I say, add this venue to your list to view!

What an amazing hotel! We had the entire wedding party and all our guests stay here. The staff went above and beyond with helping our guests feel at home. The staff behind the scenes made booking the rooms easier than I could have imagined. They made sure all our guests got a gift bag when they checked in. We stayed in the Loft Suite for 3 nights and it was the perfect room to have people meet up in before going out and to have the wedding party get ready in. The rooms were gorgeously decorated, clean, and modern.

We had our wedding reception in the new function space at the Hotel Commonwealth. My husband and I live in Fenway and wanted our guests to share a glimpse of our life that we built together. The space was gorgeous and the food was probably the best banquet food in the Boston area. As the bride I did not get to enjoy it as much as I wanted to, however, I work in food and beverage and we chose this location because that is where they really excel....
We stayed in the loft which allowed for a perfect meeting space for friends. The space allowed for plenty of room for hair and makeup for myself, bridesmaids, sisters, mothers and aunts. We also got to unwind there in between events (between church and reception; reception and post party etc)
We did our first look in the Fenway Foyer. It was bright and beautiful and VERY private. We got some really cool (and somewhat unexpected) shots with Fenway Park in the background. It made for a very fun combination of downtown glam and home team appreciation.
Majority of our guests stayed at the hotel and when returning to Boston they will be sure to stay there. The staff went above and beyond catering to absolutely everyone. I can't speak highly enough. Front desk agents and concierge desk knew our immediate family members and made everyone feel like a super VIP....Catering and Banquet managers (Cherie and Brian) were a dream team. All we had to do was show up.

The Hotel Commonwealth provided us with the wedding of our dreams. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious (and not just delicious “for a wedding”). The cocktail hour views and outdoor patio make the space really special. Working with Justin made planning a breeze. We can not recommend it more!
