The Boylston Rooms 

5.0

Easthampton, MA
  • Venue
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $6,600

Founded in 1814, The West Boylston Company was a large textile manufacturer in West Boylston, MA. At the turn of the century the company faced a crisis: the site of their mill would be flooded to form the Wachusett Reservoir. Instead of abandoning the mill, the company dismantled it brick by brick and shipped it to its new home in Easthampton, where it was rebuilt on the banks of the Lower Mill Pond. Now, a century later, The Boylston Rooms retains the integrity of the 1814 original mill in every brick and beam. Our rental includes planners and decor at no added cost. Whatever your style, with over 140 pieces of decor, if you can picture it in the space, we can make it happen.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Multiple event spaces
  • Allows pets
  • Provides catering services

Venue considerations

  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional
  • No free parking
  • Best for events with big guest lists
Awarded Best of Zola
From the second we saw the venue in person and met with the Event Manager, Myles, we knew we found the perfect venue. The venue was beautiful from the start but the added touches of drapery, being able to select the right arch from their numerous options and countless other decor items really allowed us to bring our vision to life. The event spaces of the ceremony room, courtyard for cocktail hour and reception room comfortably fit our 94 guests. We were also very appreciative of not only having a spacious bridal suite to get ready in but also a grooms suite, as both came in handy. In briefly working with the Owner and Event Manager, Erin, we were introduced to the transportation option of using the venue's trolley service, which we were so thrilled we went with as our guests greatly enjoyed the special ride. And as mentioned, we knew The Boylston Rooms was the right venue for us after we met with Myles. Working with Myles was fun, effortless and very thorough. We also had the chance to work with Event Manager, Alyssa, on the day of the wedding who did a great job meeting our needs each step of the way. We would highly recommend working with The Boylston Rooms if you're looking for a spectacular venue with myriad decor options and wonderful staff members. A special thank you from us to all of you for making our day truly magical!

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was choosing vendors who are great people with passion, care, and great energy. DJ Kevin is all of the above - the vibes were immaculate. My husband is a musician so music was one of the most important aspects of the wedding for him and DJ Kevin met his high standards. Leading up to the wedding, Kevin was informative, communicative, and has the type of personality that helps melt the stress away (and I couldn't have appreciated that more in the last week before the wedding!). He was also adaptable without judgement which is sometimes in short supply in the wedding industry but goes a long, long way in my book. For the wedding, we created playlists for the different sections of the wedding, and Kevin knew just how to make our vision come to life --playing the right songs at just the right time and helping the wedding flow seamlessly. He also helped curate the perfect mood for dancing with his light design, and his new Photo Booth add on gave our guests an endless source of enjoyment when they needed to catch their breath off the dance floor. (And even more enjoyment for us when we got to see all the pictures and gifs people took after the wedding!). And if all that wasn't enough already, he even volunteered to take pictures during our sparkler exit and captured one of my favorite pictures of the whole day! If I ever needed to plan a big event again in the future, the choice for DJ is already made.

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

Justine was an absolute joy to work with throughout the wedding process! I loved how incredibly communicative and fast she was to respond to any and all questions. But most of all, I was absolutely in love with my wedding hair! During the trial, Justine really was open to trying out different looks, making subtle changes, and ensuring we found a style I loved for my wedding day. On the wedding day she flawlessly replicated what we had decided on during the trial. While my style was more of a loose curl, some of my bridesmaids have curly hair and she did a beautiful job working with and enhancing their natural curls too. Justine is incredibly talented. On top of it all, Justine is a great person to be around - she is easy to talk to and you can tell she really cares about what she does. I would 100% recommend Justine for your wedding day, and I wish I lived close enough to her to have her do my hair regularly!

After watching the beautiful cinematic video that Oleg put together after my friend's wedding, we knew that wanted Oleg to video our big day. Oleg was extremely kind and attentive throughout our day and made sure to capture not only what we had asked, but to even film moments or arrangements that we never would have thought of on our own. When our dancing broke out during the reception, Oleg made sure to get right in the crowd to capture fun footage of all of our friends and family.

I'm a Massachusetts-based wedding photographer. My pronouns are She/Her. I'm just trying to make people feel comfortable in front of a camera. I use a mix of poses and prompts to create natural movement and emotion.

Kelsey did our engagement photos and will do our wedding photos next year. My fiance and I are both self-conscious people and so we were really worried that we would feel uncomfortable in front of the camera and ultimately not like the way we looked in photos. However, Kelsey is such a ray of sunshine and delight to work with that our anxieties quickly melted away. She knew all the spots to take photos and tricks to loosen us up, but more importantly we just felt so comfortable around her! We received our photos quickly and everyone has been in awe of them- they are SO gorgeous. Her online platform is easy to navigate, so downloading photos is easy, and her pricing is extremely reasonable. We are so excited that Kelsey will be photographing our wedding in January, and we would happily work with her over and over again. She is a skilled creative, a savvy business owner, and a very good person.

I had such a great experience with Lisa as my bridal makeup artist. From the very beginning, she truly listened — not just to what I wanted my look to be, but to my concerns, my comfort level, and even the little details I didn’t know how to articulate. She took the time to educate me on how bridal makeup works which made me feel so confident going into my wedding day. If you’re on the fence about doing a makeup trial, do it. The trial gave me such a clear preview of my final look and helped me walk into my big day completely at ease. On the wedding day, Lisa was punctual, professional, and kept the mood light and joyful. She has such a good, calming spirit — the kind of presence you want around you on a day full of emotions and excitement. I felt comfortable with everything she was doing, and that alone was priceless. And let me tell you… my makeup LASTED. ALL. NIGHT. Through the ceremony, photos, reception, after‑party, hugs, tears — everything. I looked flawless from start to finish on the most magical day of my life. Lisa is truly gifted at what she does, and I’m so grateful she was part of my wedding experience. Highly, highly recommend.

Photography is my passion. As a third generation photographer, it's in my blood! My grandfather opened a photography studio in Chicopee during the 1940's. Growing up, I spent hours looking at family photos, studying the faces of friends and loved ones. I read the hand written notes on the back of the pictures and I was taken back to the exact moment the photograph was taken. Even if the picture was snapped long before my birth, I could feel the emotion from that time. Photographs were and continue to be an absolute treasure in my household.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Danielle. She had great communication leading up to the day and created a detailed itinerary. She was enthusiastic and so helpful from the moment she arrived through the 8 hours she stayed with us. She captured everything and more with such beauty. She gave us space as a couple while still photographing every portrait and moment we wanted and also got beautiful candids we will always cherish. We definitely recommend and will book her again for all future events.

If you're looking for a makeup artist, I highly recommend Alex at Glam for Everyone! As someone who rarely wears makeup, it was important to me to find a balance of glam and still feeling like myself. At my makeup trial, Alex went above and beyond, patiently guiding me through my concerns and actively listening to feedback to help me create the perfect look for my wedding day. Just as importantly, Alex brought that same calm, patient & positive vibe to the wedding day - which was so important given how early we started! A massive thank you to Alex for making me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt (which is saying a lot given that I'm naturally so uncomfortable in makeup), and for helping the rest of my wedding party look and feel like the best version of themselves, too! The next time I'm in need of professional makeup services, I'll be reaching out to Glam for Everyone first. (Photo by @KairosImagesSM)

We can’t imagine our wedding day and planning process without Christina—we hired her for wedding coordination and are SO glad we did! From our first conversation with her to our hugs goodbye on the wedding night, Christina was warm, fun, and professional. She kept us and our vendors organized with regular touch points over email and Zoom in the months leading up to the wedding, giving us her professional opinion on ways to make the day flow and feel the way we wanted. During our rehearsal and wedding day Christina was organized, clear, detail-oriented and friendly to everyone involved and we knew our day was in the best hands with her. We were able to be completely present and soak in every moment because Christina and her team were working in the background to keep us on time and problem solving on the fly. If there is one thing you do for your wedding, hire a coordinator—specifically, hire Christina—you’ll be glad you did!

Matthew was a FANTASTIC addition to our wedding vendor team. His calm, accommodating, and warm demeanor put us at ease from the very moment we met with him. He gave lovely suggestions without being pushy, and was comfortable with our specific requests, even when they were a bit outside the box. He maintained a low profile throughout our wedding day, while also checking in with us for key decision moments. Not to mention, all the photos both staged and candid came out PHENOMENAL! We’ll have to wait a while before there’s a good reason to hire him again, but when it comes we’ll do so in a heartbeat. Thank you Matthew, for everything!!!

Based in Granby, Massachusetts, I'm a wedding and portrait photographer that services MA and select parts of New England. I shoot in a modern and timeless style that features creative angles and clean edits. My shooting style celebrates your day in its most authentic form with a flexible balance of candid and posed coverage.

Brian photographed our wedding in May 2024. He was kind and so fun to work with. He was very professional and made sure he got all of the specific shots we wanted. He also blended into the crowd perfectly and got some amazing candid shots that we will cherish forever! He was also so patient with my young son who was not in the mood for photos, but he just kept it moving and ended up getting the most amazing shots. I would absolutely recommend Brian to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, you will not be disappointed!

Our wedding at The Delaney House was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Working with Nicole and her incredible team made the entire planning process not only easy, but genuinely enjoyable. They guided us through every step with care, professionalism, and the kind of attention to detail that truly sets them apart. The food was absolutely delicious—our guests are still raving about it. Josiah and Erica were phenomenal throughout the evening, and Brianne ran the ceremony beautifully. On the day of the wedding, everything was flawless. The staff anticipated our needs before we even voiced them, and every moment flowed seamlessly. The atmosphere, the service, the coordination—everything exceeded our expectations. We felt completely supported and stress-free, allowing us to fully enjoy our day. We truly couldn’t have asked for anything more.
