Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a venue partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

An incredible building, built in the late 1800's Very nice venue. Such a classy and classic place to have an event. Very historic and maintained very well inside. Nice tile work on the floors and in the elevator?! I can't remember seeing an elevator with mosaic style tiling inside. There is also awesome mosaic style indicators in the floors in front of the elevator as you step out which never leaves you guessing which floor you are on. Incredible fireplaces. Beautiful built in bar. Amazing architecture all around.

From start to finish, working with Longwood and having our wedding at The Tower was a dream experience. Alicia did our initial tour and worked with us on booking, and we were blown away by how thoughtful and kind she was, as well as how knowledgeable and communicative she was about all the many details of booking a wedding venue! The Tower was our dream location - basically a castle in the middle of Boston! The inside is just as incredible, and we were so in love with the vibe that we barely had to do any additional decorations. We worked with Angela as our event specialist, who essentially kept me sane throughout the entire planning process and helped us so much in thinking through all the ...

I love photographing weddings in this space. Each floor has its own unique character and it’s such an experience. My favorite view is from the upper floor looking down on the ceremony! IG @nicolechanphotography

Recently hosted my wedding at The Tower and it was an absolutely amazing experience from the beginning to the end. Everyone went to great lengths to ensure we had a smooth and enjoyable wedding. There are lots of great options to choose from and they worked with us closely to customize everything to our liking. The building itself is gorgeous. Many of our guests brought up how nice a venue it was. And the multiple floors facilitated a good setup for our wedding (we used all 4 floors throughout the evening). I feel enormous gratitude to the entire team for making our wedding one of the happiest days of my life. Special shoutout to Erika for her great assistance in planning and executing th...
