Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport is a modern waterfront hotel and wedding venue in Boston, MA, set in the heart of the Seaport District across from the convention center. Home to the largest single hotel ballroom in Boston, the Ensemble Ballroom, it pairs sweeping harbor and skyline views with a contemporary art-focused design throughout the property. With 100,000 square feet of event space, 1,054 guest rooms, and four distinct ballrooms, it hosts weddings and corporate events from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations of well over 500 guests.
What makes Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport a standout Boston wedding venue?
Scale and setting both stand out here. The Ensemble Ballroom alone spans more than 25,000 square feet, giving even the largest weddings room to breathe, while the Momentum Ballroom offers a more intimate 17,000-square-foot alternative for celebrations closer to 500 guests. For an indoor-outdoor feel, the Contemporary Ballroom adjoins the Elevate Patio, an open-air terrace with skyline views built for a cocktail hour or a smaller ceremony under the sky. Floor-to-ceiling windows run throughout the guest rooms and event spaces alike, framing the Seaport skyline and Boston Harbor from nearly every angle. The hotel’s design draws on Boston’s cultural institutions, with a curated art collection and a striking generative video installation anchoring the lobby, giving the whole property a gallery-like feel that couples consistently mention as a highlight. Reviews single out the catering and banquet teams by name for going above and beyond, with couples specifically praising the food years after their wedding day. With seven dining outlets, a year-round rooftop pool, and a full-service spa on site, the hotel turns a wedding into a full weekend for the couple and their guests, including an after-party easily arranged at the on-site sports bar.

A modern ballroom with floor-to-ceiling windows over the Seaport skyline rewards lighting that complements the space’s contemporary design and art-forward interiors rather than competing with them, all on LED fixtures.

Our DJ and MC talent keeps the floor moving, photo booths add a keepsake, live musicians set the tone for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and our photography and videography team captures the Seaport skyline, the Elevate Patio at sunset, and the hotel’s gallery-like interiors. For the conferences and large-scale corporate events the hotel’s 100,000 square feet of function space is built for, we bring full corporate event production.
