Elegant, Intimate & Perfect!
From start to finish (and beyond), the staff at Hampshire House were incredible to work with. The Director of Sales, Michele Giacomozzi, was patient, knowledgeable, communicative, and helped us to create the wedding of our dreams! The day-of staff (Bartenders, waiters, kitchen, etc.) were all attentive and made the day effortless for my husband and me. Besides the staff, I appreciated how transparent Hampshire House was throughout the process - whether it be about pricing, chair upgrades or kids' meals, they made it easy to budget and understand what was included. The venue itself was perfection - we absolutely fell in love with the 2nd floor library space when we visited and seeing it on the wedding day was so magical! The library exuded elegance and gave our night a cozy, intimate feel - all our guests loved it and felt it was so perfectly us. The long rectangle tables were great for conversation and left plenty of space for a dance party! Hampshire House is classic & quintessentially Boston; I can't recommend the space enough! Lastly, but certainly not least, the food at Hampshire House was stellar! Our tasting was so fun, Michele and her team walked us through the whole process and were so patient with us. The food on the day of was incredible and the guests could not stop raving about it! The Baby Lamb Chops in particular were a favorite as were the entrees (Grilled Beef Tenderloin, Lemon Thyme Chicken Breast, and Wild Mushroom Ravioli) and specialty drinks (Paper Plane & Pomegranate Paloma). I truly cannot say enough good things about our experience with the Hampshire House! Highly recommend!
Response from vendor•Dec 18, 2025Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful and glowing review Maura! We are truly honored that you chose Hampshire House to celebrate such a meaningful day, and we’re thrilled to hear how special your experience was from start to finish.Amazing experience with Victoria!
I had the best experience planning my wedding with Victoria, and the day was everything I wanted and more!
Response from vendor•Dec 18, 2025We are so glad to hear this, Alyssa! Victoria and the team are so happy to have been a part of your special day!Beautiful and Classic Boston Wedding
We recently had our wedding and reception at the Hampshire House and couldn't have asked for a better experience. As a same-sex couple, we felt welcomed and celebrated by the entire staff. The venue truly delivers on its promise of classy, old-school Boston charm. It’s a gorgeous space that feels intimate and timeless. We held our ceremony in the library, which was beautiful. Our guests loved the flow of the night, switching between the different floors of the Hampshire House. We were initially worried the space might feel small for dancing, but that definitely wasn't the case! The dance floor and dining area were the perfect size for our 75 guests. The location directly on the park offers beautiful views and is really easy to walk to from many nearby hotels. The atmosphere was stunning. A massive thank you goes to our Hampshire House coordinator, Victoria Costa. She was absolutely essential and made the entire wedding run smoothly without us having to get involved. Victoria handled every detail effortlessly, allowing us to be completely stress-free and just enjoy our day. She was incredible! The Hampshire House was flexible with us, and it does not feel like the wedding factory that so many venues feel like these days. We also have to mention that the food was outstanding---not your typical wedding food at all. The quality was great, and we heard nothing but compliments from our guests. They have some of the best vegetarian options I've ever seen from a wedding venue, too. Overall, Victoria and the Hampshire House were professional and easy to work with and delivered us a spectacular wedding. We highly recommend the Hampshire House for a classic, beautifully managed event. In addition, the value for the price is fantastic. Look no further!
Response from vendor•Dec 18, 2025Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your special day! We are so pleased that everyone enjoyed your wedding day as much as we did! Victoria and the team are so honored and grateful for your kind words about their work, and we are so glad you felt welcome, celebrated, and stress-free on your day! We are wishing you nothing but the best!Perfect Day, Perfect Team
Our wedding at the Hampshire House was nothing short of perfect. We booked the venue in July 2025 for an October 2025 wedding, which is a pretty tight timeline, but the Hampshire House team made everything feel effortless. I worked closely with Michele, and she was truly amazing: always available, quick to respond, and incredibly helpful with every question and detail. On the day of the wedding, the entire Hampshire House team worked seamlessly with all of our vendors. Everything flowed beautifully, the service was impeccable, and the whole day exceeded every expectation we had. I’m so grateful to Michele and the staff for helping us create such a memorable and flawless celebration. Highly recommend! Ednize & Marquis
Response from vendor•Dec 18, 2025Ednize & Marquis, Thank you both so much for entrusting us with your celebration! Your kind words mean so much to Michele and the team, and we are wishing you nothing but the best for your future together!
