TESTIMONIAL
We had a wonderful wedding at the Harvard Club.  Harvard Hall where we had our reception was magnificent and the Massachusetts Room for the ceremony was just stunning. We are already planning our 5 year anniversary party there – that’s how great it was.

I could not have been more pleased with how the club managed the planning process, but was even more thrilled with the day itself.   We could not have asked for a better venue and would highly recommend the Harvard Club to any friend.
