Planning a wedding from hundreds of miles away can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. At The Boylston Rooms we’ve worked with countless couples who live out of state, and our goal is to make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible. From personalized support to in-house décor, we offer more than just a beautiful venue; we offer peace of mind.

Our couples often tell us how relieved they feel knowing we provide everything from arches and draping to curated decorative pieces. Many arrive for their wedding weekend with just their outfits and a seating chart, confident that the rest is already in place.

Ciara and Erik, who planned their wedding from North Carolina, shared:

“Planning a wedding back up in MA was a bit overwhelming—until we found The Boylston Rooms. They truly made the process so enjoyable, stress-free, creative, and FUN! They have ALL the decorations in-house—it’s like going shopping at TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, and Target to pick out color schemes and décor items!”

Kelsie and Nolan, planning from Virginia, felt similarly reassured:

“We live in Virginia, and planning a wedding from 400 miles away is a daunting task. However, The Boylston team made planning an absolute breeze[…] Their vast inventory of decor was a huge relief. While we did bring some of our own, it was great to have a seemingly endless collection to pick from. Our items were even returned to us the next day, neatly stacked on a cart.”

And for some, planning from across the country brings even more challenges—ones we’re proud to help overcome. Laura and Sean, who live in Los Angeles, booked their wedding sight-unseen and had this to say:

“After canceling three COVID weddings in Mexico, I was honestly over it. But from the first phone call, Erin made me feel like I was talking to a friend. We booked the venue without seeing it in person—just a FaceTime tour with my mother-in-law—and we never looked back. Throughout the planning process, the team was incredibly communicative and helpful, connecting us with vendors and offering expert suggestions. The day of, Myles and Erin made everything feel effortless. Myles brought so much positive energy and Erin kept everything running smoothly while making us feel supported and relaxed. I truly felt so taken care of—like I had a whole planning team behind me.”

Whether you're across town or across the country, choosing a venue that offers built-in resources and experienced, hands-on support can change the entire planning experience. At The Boylston Rooms, we’re not just here to host your wedding, we’re here to help you enjoy it.
