What makes the Boston Public Library a perfect wedding venue? If you have ever imagined taking your marriage vows in a romantic hall, or walking up the grand staircase and greeting guests with champagne in the beautiful setting, Boston Public Library can realize your dream. With a variety of beautiful venues, the library can make any wedding, large or small, memorable.

The Entrance Hall - Most women want a romantic wedding. Of Roman design, the Entrance Hall is divided into three aisles by heavy piers of Iowa sandstone. The ceiling is vaulted and overlaid with a marble mosaic. Featuring white Georgia marble, the floor is embedded in the center aisle with brass inscriptions and symbols of the zodiac. All these make the hall a romantic venue for wedding.

The Main Staircase - Today, more and more girls dream of walking down the staircase to her bridegroom. Marrying at the Boston Public Library can help you realize this expectation. The Boston Public Library boasts the grand staircase. The marble of the stairs is mottled with fossil shells in ivory grey Echaillon. There are also the two stone lions, couchant at the turn of the stairs. A deep triumphal connects the Entrance Hall and the grand staircase. Imagine that you and your groom walk down the stairs and pass the arch hands-in-hands. How romantic!

The Courtyard - If you prefer a simple and peaceful wedding, celebrate your marriage at the quiet yet grandeur Courtyard at Boston Public Library. The Courtyard is next to the Main Staircase. It is an Italian-style courtyard with its famous bacchante statue and fountain. It is really a heaven of peace and beauty.

The Courtyard Restaurant and The Map Room Cafe - These two restaurants, managed by the Catered Affair, showcase the library as one of Boston's most inviting destinations. They are located on the first floor of the Boston Public Library's McKim building. Offering a unique dining experience, the restaurants are really great places to hold wedding banquettes.

Can't you just picture it? All this, the marble entrance hall, grand staircase, peaceful courtyard, and the gallery lobbies, are so wonderfully romantic and charming. Appreciate some pictures of wedding at Boston Public Library from these pages:
