“The Cambridge Boat Club was the perfect choice for our New England fall-themed wedding! It is an absolutely gorgeous location on the river with just the right amount of historic charm. We had originally considered going with all-inclusive venues, but ultimately opted for the flexibility we had with the CBC to craft our own vision. The venue features two distinct rooms, a larger room called the Drinkwater room, which can be used for the wedding dinner, the Club Room, which was used for cocktail hour and the dance floor, and a porch, which has a stunning view. The layout perfectly accommodated both the party enthusiasts and our more introverted guests, who preferred quieter spaces for rest and socialization away from the dance floor. Opting for this venue requires a more DIY approach compared to all-inclusive options. Since it is a historic building, there are some restrictions to be aware of, e.g. no sparklers or ceiling drapery, and existing wall decor generally need to stay on the wall. This was no issue for us since we had a clear vision for the wedding theme and decor, and enlisted the help of Tastings Catering (highly recommend, since they have previous experience working in this space and also handle some of the decor) and Designlight. Major shoutout to Katie Donnelly, the club manager at Cambridge Boat Club, who always responded in record time to all our inquiries and provided helpful guidance. With everyone's help, we were able to create the wedding of our dreams!”

“My wife and I had our wedding at Mothership in the early Spring, and everything about the experience was top notch! Their Events Manager, Kelly, was one of the most organized, communicative and professional people I've ever worked with. From food options to set up and decorations, the Mothership team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their willingness to accommodate the many guests with varying dietary restrictions was astounding, and EVERYTHING was delicious. They even made our wedding cake plus an array of gluten free and vegan desserts. The space was perfect and was able to comfortably fit our guests for dinner to dancing. They converted their day-time cafe space into the most amazing dance floor for us and our DJ. All in all, this team truly made our special day PERFECT, and I will forever be recommending them to all of our friends and family!!”
