Midweek
"Button" Weddings
Button Weddings:
What’s in a Name?
Buttons are part of our history: the West Boylston Company, the textile company and former mill occupants from whom we take our name, made buttons and cotton cloth over a century ago, and we still find buttons around the mill!
Our five-hour, midweek Button Weddings invoke the simplicity of this legacy.
Why Book a Button Wedding?
Less planning, less stress, less expense, less waste, more happiness!
By now you’ve probably noticed: wedding planning the usual way requires a lot of effort and a sizable budget. We get it if you’ve seriously considered throwing in the towel and eloping (we can help with that too!) But, there is a middle ground: Button Weddings!
We have gathered a team of award-winning Western Massachusetts vendors to provide their creativity, talent and skill at prices that are much lower than the rates for a conventional weekend wedding, organized from start to finish by your dedicated wedding planner.
Whether you want a buttoned-up formal affair or a casual Wednesday soiree, we can pull it off in less time, for less money, with all the amenities you need to have a small, simple, stunning celebration.
“The Boylston Rooms team was incredible. They made the wedding day easy, low stress, had amazing ideas, and could not recommend them more! We really could not have put together a more perfect wedding day without their help as they made vendor choices, wedding layout and design all easy. They were able to anticipate all of our concerns and were always 5 steps ahead of any challenges on the big day!”

While air conditioned, the building is an old mill with poor insulation and high ceilings, so it is often warm in the summer. The mill’s hallways are not air conditioned. Work involves extensive interaction with members of the public. Work schedule will be varied and will include evening, weekend and holiday hours. The event space can be loud and lowly lit. Earplugs can be provided at employees' request. The venue does serve alcohol to guests and allows recreational cigarette, cigar, and cannabis consumption outdoors, so attendees may not be sober.
