InterContinental Boston Wedding Photography & Videography
Featured VenueNewport, Boston and beyond.
InterContinental Boston puts a wedding right on the water, with the city rising behind it. Move Mountains Co. photographed and filmed Joseph + Courtney's December wedding here, from bridal preparations "against the backdrop of the city's skyline" to vows in the hotel's "refined event space" and a ballroom that "transformed into a lively dance floor."
The harbor at your door
The hotel sits at 510 Atlantic Avenue on Boston's historic waterfront, on the same channel where the Boston Tea Party took place. InterContinental Boston lists 32,000 square feet of event space. The Rose Kennedy Ballroom has sweeping views of Boston Harbor and the Fort Point Channel, the Abigail Adams Ballroom can be divided for more intimate receptions, and the Griffin room hosts smaller weddings of up to 100 guests. Ready rooms and group accommodations keep the whole day under one roof.
The InterContinental's wedding team made a winter celebration feel effortless, and we loved working with the water just steps from the door.
Move Mountains Co. has photographed and filmed weddings across Newport, Boston and beyond for 10 years. We're a preferred vendor at 100+ New England venues, a ten-time The Knot Best of Weddings winner and a member of The Knot Hall of Fame.
