The Boylston Rooms 

5.0

Easthampton, MA
  • Venue
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,600

Founded in 1814, The West Boylston Company was a large textile manufacturer in West Boylston, MA. At the turn of the century the company faced a crisis: the site of their mill would be flooded to form the Wachusett Reservoir. Instead of abandoning the mill, the company dismantled it brick by brick and shipped it to its new home in Easthampton, where it was rebuilt on the banks of the Lower Mill Pond. Now, a century later, The Boylston Rooms retains the integrity of the 1814 original mill in every brick and beam. Our rental includes planners and decor at no added cost. Whatever your style, with over 140 pieces of decor, if you can picture it in the space, we can make it happen.

I could not say enough good things about this venue. We're SO glad we decided to get married at The Boylston Rooms! The pictures show for themselves how beautiful the venue (and surrounding areas for photography) are, but the staff are what make this place extra special. From start to finish, everyone we worked with was nothing but professional. They were clear and timely communicators, helped troubleshoot things during the planning process, and came with loads of wedding wisdom that helped set us up for success on the big day. When the big day came, I also appreciated how often their staff checked in - even to make sure I was eating (it's the small things!) - and were ready to jump into support anywhere. A special shout out to Myles, who played a supporting role during our wedding portraits, helping me to keep my very long veil under control! A few other things I'll mention: - Their storage room filled with decor you can borrow is SO helpful. Less that you need to buy (and potentially waste post-wedding) and can even make decision-making easier when there are 1,000 versions of the same item online. - Their wedding suites are great to have available too. Obviously for getting ready, but it's also a nice reprieve if you need a quiet moment during the reception. - The Boylston Rooms only works with one caterer, Myer's Catering. Our guests are STILL raving about the food. (There's more flexibility with other vendors). - The Boylston Rooms also owns/is affiliated with The Wedding Day Trolley, which we used to transport our guests to/from the hotel. My partner and I also took some super fun photos inside of the trolley!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was choosing vendors who are great people with passion, care, and great energy. DJ Kevin is all of the above - the vibes were immaculate. My husband is a musician so music was one of the most important aspects of the wedding for him and DJ Kevin met his high standards. Leading up to the wedding, Kevin was informative, communicative, and has the type of personality that helps melt the stress away (and I couldn't have appreciated that more in the last week before the wedding!). He was also adaptable without judgement which is sometimes in short supply in the wedding industry but goes a long, long way in my book. For the wedding, we created playlists for the different sections of the wedding, and Kevin knew just how to make our vision come to life --playing the right songs at just the right time and helping the wedding flow seamlessly. He also helped curate the perfect mood for dancing with his light design, and his new Photo Booth add on gave our guests an endless source of enjoyment when they needed to catch their breath off the dance floor. (And even more enjoyment for us when we got to see all the pictures and gifs people took after the wedding!). And if all that wasn't enough already, he even volunteered to take pictures during our sparkler exit and captured one of my favorite pictures of the whole day! If I ever needed to plan a big event again in the future, the choice for DJ is already made.

I booked Justine for our wedding in September to do hair and makeup on myself and both of our moms. Everyone’s hair & makeup came out beautifully & stayed soo well throughout the day and night. I had a partial updo with curls that were intact the whole time!! We loved the enhanced natural looks Justine gave us as none of us wear makeup that often. Justine’s calming presence was so nice and eased all of our jitters. Everyone kept saying how relaxing and peaceful the whole experience was getting ready. She was very accommodating for my mom as she is in a wheelchair and sewed my mom’s dress. Since starting to speak with her to book she was punctual, professional & kind. She eased my anxious mind when I was worried about my hair being too short when all curled. If I could do it all again I’d re-book her every time! Can’t thank her enough and make any higher recommendations for future brides to book Justine for their weddings!!

Danny is an amazing photographer all around. He was a pleasure to work with. Right from the start he was responsive and answered all our questions. My husband and I aren’t photogenic and get shy showing affection in front of people but he made it feel comfortable and the photos look natural. He is easy to talk to but still very professional. The delivery time of the photos was only a couple weeks! They were exactly what we were looking for. Danny also had the lowest price in our area. Overall, we are extremely happy Danny got to capture our big day and highly recommend him!

Photography is my passion. As a third generation photographer, it's in my blood! My grandfather opened a photography studio in Chicopee during the 1940's. Growing up, I spent hours looking at family photos, studying the faces of friends and loved ones. I read the hand written notes on the back of the pictures and I was taken back to the exact moment the photograph was taken. Even if the picture was snapped long before my birth, I could feel the emotion from that time. Photographs were and continue to be an absolute treasure in my household.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Danielle. She had great communication leading up to the day and created a detailed itinerary. She was enthusiastic and so helpful from the moment she arrived through the 8 hours she stayed with us. She captured everything and more with such beauty. She gave us space as a couple while still photographing every portrait and moment we wanted and also got beautiful candids we will always cherish. We definitely recommend and will book her again for all future events.

When we started planning our July wedding, we knew that we wanted a beautiful, eco-conscious, outdoor venue in the rolling Massachusetts hills where we could host guests for the whole weekend and people could camp and sit by a fire at night. We weren’t sure we’d find someplace that checked all those boxes; then we found the Montague Retreat Center. It was everything we were looking for and more. We loved that we had the whole weekend to see our guests and that they got to know the place, too. The Center already has a tent set up for the reception, and the venue was so well set up with its own furniture and catering-ready kitchen, that other vendors kept telling us how delighted they were to be going back there. We had around 100 guests, about 25 of which camped at the Center. The camp site is in a pine forest on the property, and our camping guests were all very happy with their stay and with the facilities. A lot happens in a wedding weekend, but the staff is prepared for anything and everything. The caretaker, John, was particularly notable in how quickly and quietly he took care of the facilities while we were there. We’d turn around and he’d have taken care of the trash or put another few logs on the fire. It was easy and wonderful. It was wonderful to have things like lights already set up, and a room of wedding decorations others have left to reuse or leave instead of stress about bringing everything and cleaning it all up. We were glad they compost everything and the facility even runs on geo-thermal heating/cooling. We took the Retreat Center’s recommendations for almost all of our vendors, and they were all wonderful (especially Wheelhouse Catering for our reception and Jackie M coordinating all of our vendors and the day of the wedding). We got flowers from Red Fire Farm, and sent our guests to check out the Montague Book Mill (and took photos there ourselves!). We are so glad we found the Montague Retreat Center!

We had the best wedding at Union Station, and it was all thanks to Neil and his team. Before the wedding, he would always respond to my emails and questions, and was very accommodating with what we wanted. Anything we threw at him, he would make it work. He has such a calm presence, too, which is VERY needed on your wedding day! Robert was our personal right-hand man to me and my husband on our wedding day, and he was amazing!! He made sure we had time to ourselves amongst the chaos of the evening, he made sure we ate our delicious dinner, and he even helped me with my train and veil during pictures and bustled my dress before the reception!! Rehearsal and decor pickups were super stress-free and easy too. Thank you to everyone at Union Station for making our wedding the best day of our lives (so far)!!!

When I'm not creating stunning arrangements, you'll often find me spending quality time with my beautiful family – my loving husband and our three adorable kids. Being happily married and a mother has taught me the importance of cherishing life's precious moments, and that's exactly what I strive to do with my floral designs. With a passion for weddings and events, I pour my heart into making each occasion extra special and unforgettable. My journey in the world of flowers has been an incredible one, and I can't wait to weave that magic into your dream event!

Kristina was wonderful to work with! She so creatively brought our vision of wildflowers for our June wedding to life! The flowers throughout the wedding from the arch to all the tables were absolutely stunning! From planning, to set up, and tear down she was professional and just amazing to work with!

Matthew Cavanaugh Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Chester, MA

Western MA based photojournalist and wedding photographer. Prior to coming home to Western Mass in 2010, I lived in Washington, DC. I spent 6 years as a member of the White House press corps . I was lucky enough to document a lot of historic events, including the election and inauguration of President Obama. My work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe.

Hiring Matthew to capture my daughter's wedding was one of the single best decisions made for that day. He is thoughtful throughout the process, taking time to meet with my daughter and her fiancé and have them really think about what was important to them to capture during their special day, putting together a timeline to make the most of our time with Matthew, and then just seamlessly blending in with the day and capturing some of the most stunning photos. We were blown away! We had seen enough of his work to know we'd be pleased, but he exceeded all of our expectations. His level of professionalism is extraordinary.

I had the pleasure of working with Cate on one of my recent weddings, and she is a joy to work with! Not only is Cate an incredibly talented photographer, but she also made the entire process of capturing the wedding day memories a breeze. She made my job as a wedding planner much easier by keeping everything on schedule and collaborating closely with the rest of the wedding team. Most importantly, Cate made the couple feel comfortable and at ease, adding humor into the day, allowing them to relax and enjoy the day, while getting incredibly authentic photos. The resulting photos were absolutely stunning and captured the essence of the couple's special day. It is so much fun to work with an artistic photographer, rather than a standard wedding photographer, because they see the day as an art piece, capturing little moments that others would let pass by. I would highly recommend Caterina to anyone in need of a talented and fun wedding photographer!

I worked with The hairloft for my wedding in July 2022. Everything leading up to the big day was perfect. I always had clear communication, helpful suggestions and the team was so professional. One the big day we ran into a time jam by no fault of the stylists but they were able to get everyone done and kept me (the bride) comfortable and relaxed so I never even knew there were unforseen issues behind the scene. I looked amazing, I felt like a princess and my whole bridal party still talks about how fun it was to get ready and how great we all looked. If only we had this team at home every morning!

She tells it like it is and doesn’t try to sell products to me she thinks I may have a reaction to just to make a penny. She has never let me down with a recommendation and at this point I would trust no one but her for help and her services.
