The geometric grid also creates an atmosphere of modern luxury that pairs well with a variety of wedding aesthetics. We love how this unique space elevates the natural scenery while still providing modern event amenities. Read on to learn more about planning a wedding at this iconic Boston wedding venue.
Architecturally Unique Boston Wedding Venue
Built to commemorate the life and legacy of John F. Kennedy, I.M. Pei designed this monumental building to celebrate openness and the beauty of Dorchester Bay. Symbolizing JFK’s own persona, the building is both timeless and contemporary. The panels for the concrete structural frame were cast offsite and then later fitted together like an architectural puzzle. Each panel of glass was individually crane-lifted into place. Officially completed in 1979, the JFK Presidential Library is a forward-thinking architectural masterpiece. The towering walls of glass leave ample space for contemplation and awe.
