The Newbury Boston

The Newbury Boston is a luxury wedding venue located at the intersection of Newbury and Arlington Streets in Boston's Back Bay. Originally opened in 1927 as one of the nation's first Ritz-Carlton hotels, this beautifully restored landmark offers 16,000 square feet of heritage-inspired modern event space with sweeping views of Boston's Public Garden. The property is now operated under the leadership of Highgate, a world-class real estate investment and hospitality management company, with creative direction from Major Food Group, the acclaimed restaurant group behind Carbone, The Grill, and Dirty French. The venue features The Assembly Ballroom, which accommodates up to 220 guests in an airy, majestic space that captures the hotel's 1920s glamor with modern decor, chandeliers, and elegant seating. The Garden Room provides 2,800 square feet of warmly furnished interior with various layout options for customized celebrations. Smaller spaces include The Newbury Salon, which overlooks Newbury Street, and The Hunt's Room, featuring natural light through large bay windows. The Newbury Boston's culinary team crafts dishes served at Contessa, the rooftop restaurant, with a menu featuring antipasti, signature pizzas, tortellini, ricotta gnudi, and traditional Bistecca alla Fiorentina. A team of seasoned professionals handles coordination, and bartending staff ensures guest service throughout celebrations.
