Kristin and Max's winter wedding at the Boston Public Library was nothing short of glamorous. It was a truly beautiful event that was made all the more special by the stunning location of the Boston Public Library. The grandeur of Bates Hall and the unique projection on the ceiling made for an unforgettable evening. The fantastic planner, Ashley Saffer of Ashley Elaine Events clearly put a lot of thought and care into every last detail. The personal touch of the couple's close friend, Amadea, officiating the ceremony added an extra layer of sentiment to the event. It's truly rare to have a wedding that seamlessly blends elegance, tradition, and personal touch, but that's exactly what Kristin and Max's wedding at the Boston Public Library was. It was a truly extraordinary event, and it's not hard to see why the couple chose such a special location to start their life together.
Kristin was getting ready at the Newbury Hotel in Boston, surrounded by her bridal party and family as she put on her beautiful wedding gown. The atmosphere in the room was filled with laughter and joy as Kristin prepared to marry the love of her life. Meanwhile, Max was getting ready at the Westin Hotel in Boston, just a short distance away from Kristin. From his room, he could see both the ceremony location, the Boston Public Library and the spot where he had proposed to Kristin, adding to the sentimental atmosphere of the day. He was surrounded by his groomsmen, all dear friends from college, all of whom were excited to see him marry the woman he loved.

After getting ready, Kristin and Max had their first look in the Boston Public Gardens, right next to the footbridge. As they saw each other for the first time that day, a flock of geese swam over in the pond as if to witness their love for each other for the first time too. It was a magical moment and a perfect start to their wedding day.
The ceremony, which took place in the beautiful and historic McKim Gustavino room at the Boston Public Library, was filled with warmth and love as the couple exchanged vows. What made the ceremony even more special was that the officiant was one of their close friends, adding a personal touch to the festivities. The ceremony was a true reflection of the couple's personalities, their relationship, and their love for one another.
As guests made their way to the reception in Bates Hall, they were greeted with the stunning sight of the library's iconic Rose Main Reading Room. The room, with its high ceilings and ornate details, was transformed into a winter wonderland for the occasion.
As guests took their seats, they couldn't help but be mesmerized by the projection on the ceiling. The couple had chosen an intricate cutout design, which danced on the ceiling above. It was truly a magical moment and set the perfect ambiance for the rest of the evening.
The reception was a true celebration, with delicious food, sparkling champagne and lively live music. Guests danced the night away on the marble floors of the Abbey Room, and the newlyweds couldn't have been happier as they were surrounded by the love and support o,f their family and friends.
As the night came to a close, guests left the reception feeling uplifted and inspired by the love that Kristin and Max shared. The couple's winter wedding at the Boston Public Library will be remembered as a truly glamorous and magical occasion.
