World Trade Center Boston

I was here to volunteer at a craft beer festival on the outside promenade. Very nice venue for an event with great views of the skyline, though as construction continues at a breakneck pace on the seafront this bonus will diminish a bit.
Nothing special, but a solid venue for all kinds of events.

Is there seriously no official parking for this site? We parked at the hotel across the street — which was ok, but it would be convenient if we could have parked here (with something other than valet).
Signage was pretty poor, so we had trouble finding our room.
However, the space was lovely, the balcony by the water was really pretty and relaxing and the food was quite delicious. All staff we met were super nice and very accommodating.
Very good spot for an event (lobster in a cone — wow!).

Here for the Massachusetts Victim Rights Conference. The center is quite lovely and very comfortable. This is the second year they’ve hosted, and they helped to make the conference very nice and enjoyable.

Attended an industry trade show here. Easy to find and within walking distance of hotels and restaurants. Staff here were friendly, and generally helpful on the set up and break down. Overall A-​OK

One of the nicest parts of Boston and a great convention area. There’s a view to boot.

So the annual company holiday party was held here for the second year in a row and once again the staff here did a FANTASTIC job! They really know how to dress this place up, it felt very fancy for all of us considering that during the work week we take business-​casual to a new low.
Once I got over the shock of seeing my coworkers in cocktail dresses and suits, I couldn’t get over how gorgeous this place was! They had a nice area set up to mingle and drink with appetizers being passed around for the first hour or so and then this large curtain opened up to the much larger dinner/​dancing area.
I loved the «snow» falling. It was absolutely gorgeous! The layout was very spacious and we probably didn’t need all of that space, but it was still wonderful. The food wasn’t really as good as I had expected, so they lose points there, but they did have variety (including veggie options) which was nice.
Our wonderful CEOs treated us to an open bar and these guys knew how to make strong drinks. The lines were long– we could have used a few more bartenders, but they were very polite and knew their stuff.
I think that the location definitely had a lot to do with making this more than just some work function– it was really the best of holiday parties and I hope we use this location again next year!

we had our company holiday party here and it was really neat. So you walk into this large, but narrow room where the cocktails and apps are served, and then there is this large back drop that they lift up. It felt just like prom, with the snow machine and all.
The room was decorated as winter wonderland with a swan boat and some backdrop… ok i dont know what they are claled but it felt like i was in a movie. IT was really cute and the room was… holy crap huge. It could have easily fit more than oru whole company. Maybe 2 of our company, but it was just huge. the only thing was the bathrooms are located where you walk in at the front and felt like a long drunken hike.
The food was pretty good too, half was asian the other half was italian. On the asian side they gave little take out containers and chopsticks to eat from. The italian side was your basic pastas etc.
They set up a decorate your own cookie station too which was cute. Dance floor was nice, décor was nice.
Now, the things that made this not 5 stars:
–2 Bartenders per bar, there were 2 bars (not good for 500+ people)
–The space was HUGE, not alwyas a bad thing but it made it difficult to drunkingly find everything
–Previous…it was difficult to find the desserts and to walk from the pasta to the asian, it was actually a pretty long walk.
–A ton of purses were stolen DURING the party… now, everyone was drunk but the security should have been better than that.
–They were kinda rude at the end, trying to get rid of everyone «OFF THE PROPERTY!!» as if we were a bunch of club kids.

Corporate Winter Gala (not a ‘holiday’ party) at the World Trade Center
My girlfriends company had their corporate party here, which suprised me when I heard that. It’s a pretty big, open, empty room, right?
They walled off a section with giant curtains in black and white. There was a front room for cocktails, and a huge dining area. Probably could fit 600 or so for dinner. The floors were covered in a plush blue carpet. There was a snow machine making it snow (bubbles) by the entrance. All and all, it was a pretty elegant room.
Around the room was a tribute to the neighborhoods of Boston acting as a backdrop to the bars and serving stations. There were facades of a brownstone, a north end resteraunt, the constitution, etc.
There was a dance floor and a band. There were gambling stations for blackjack, roulette, craps and poker. (prizes were raffle tickets)
The food was good for this type of event. The staff didnt look too bored. The beers choices were great. (After the two free drinks tix, drinks were $ 6.50 each)
It was fun. I was pleasantly suprised. I’d go to a function here again next year, if I get invited that is.
