Event Spotlight: Jennipher & Patrick’s New England Autumn Wedding Celebration

Looking out over the crystal blue waters of the Chestnut Hill reservoir, it's easy to see how the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum has become one of the most popular wedding venues among Bostonians. Located seconds away from the campus of Boston College, The Waterworks Museum is (like much of our Boston community) steeped in rich history and reflects a collective sense of local pride. Loving couples from all over Boston and the larger New England area come to the museum to be a part of that tradition and launch their new lives together.Recently, BG Events and Catering was privileged to be part of one of these amazing wedding celebrations with our clients, Jennipher and Patrick. The pictures tell the story of a fun and vibrant “Autumn in New England” evening ceremony where food, family, friends and a festive atmosphere brought guests together in celebrating their love.

An Autumn Theme Meets an Industrial Atmosphere

For Jennipher and Patrick's celebration, BG's event specialists established a festive fall theme with an industrial twist. The Metropolitan Waterworks Museum was adorned in fresh fall décor and illuminated in hues of orange, amber and purple with cafe string lighting. The humongous event space accommodated almost 150 guests and was further decorated with baby’s breath florals, silver trumpet vases, bales of hay, potted mums, fresh pumpkins and fall leaves. As a tip of the hat to the industrial character of the venue, some bartenders and waitstaff even dressed in steampunk-style garments.
