Whether you want to get married in charming, brick-lined streets or set sail and enjoy views of the bay, Boston offers the perfect mix of natural beauty and history. If you’re in love with the city but don’t want to spend a fortune on your wedding, pop-up weddings are a great way to focus on what truly matters: your love!
We can help you plan an intimate ceremony in the park you first met, or host your ceremony along the harbor overlooking the water. Take a look at five of our favorite areas in Boston that can serve as stunning pop-up wedding venues!
Boston Common
Are you and your partner history buffs? Boston Common is America’s oldest park and a scenic pop-up wedding venue! With trees, fountains, and plenty of green space, you can be in the heart of the city while still enjoying nature.
The park is also adjacent to Boston’s Public Garden, the first public botanical garden in America. During your ceremony, you’ll add to the romance of the day with relaxing views of the water, bright flowers, and 24 acres of natural oasis!
Boston Harborwalk
If you’re looking for a quiet ceremony location along the harbor, Boston Harborwalk follows the edges of the city’s piers, beaches, and shoreline. Set sail and consider having your ceremony on a boat during sunrise or sunset!
For higher views of the city’s skyline and an elegant feel, there are plenty of rooftops along the harbor that can be romantic pop-up wedding venues. If you’re envisioning a more laid-back ceremony, go barefoot on one of the city’s charming shorelines with the glow of the city in the background.
Boston Esplanade
The Esplanade is a public park on the Boston side of the Charles River, and it’s an idyllic place full of historic sculptures and architectural wonders. Typically the park is more of a local spot and tough for tourists to find, making it an intimate place to get married.
For fall weddings with a lot of foliage and scenery, the Esplanade is a great option. The park has quaint footbridges that span across the river and make for beautiful photo opportunities!
Boston Public Library
Whether you’re a casual reader or an avid bookworm, the Boston Public Library is the ideal venue for a quaint pop-up wedding. We can help you arrange for a ceremony in a single reading room, surrounded by books and antique lamp lighting. They also have a historic courtyard if you’re looking for an outdoor option with elegant pillars and refreshing green space.
Harvard Square
Harvard Square is Cambridge’s historic neighborhood and a popular spot in Boston. If you envision having your ceremony in brick-lined streets with the breeze blowing against your hair, or you’d rather have a quiet ceremony in one of the multiple art museums, Harvard Square is a sophisticated choice for your pop-up wedding.
