HOST YOUR PRIVATE EVENT AT THE GARDNER

The Gardner Museum has been the scene of elegant entertaining since 1903, when Isabella Stewart Gardner opened her Venetian inspired museum with a grand celebration. Today, we continue this tradition by offering organizations and individuals exclusive access to one of Boston’s cultural treasures to host their own events. With the completion of our new wing in 2012, the Gardner Museum now offers even more options for your special occasion. Cocktail receptions, seated dinners, breakfasts, meetings and more are all executed to the highest level of standards in a venue that pairs the best of the old world and the new. We look forward to working with you to create your own special event





AVAILABLE RENTAL SPACES

Your guests will enjoy gourmet catering at its best at your party or event. Chef Peter Crowley and his team have been hosting events at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum since 2002. Chef Crowley’s local and seasonal dishes, organic vegetables, and award-winning desserts drive his creative seasonal menus. His technique was honed by years spent living and working in France, as well as at top restaurants, hotels, and caterers within the greater Boston area. The talented Gardner team will work closely with you to create a personalized menu of food, wines, and decor for any occasion. We are dedicated to providing the highest level of service and hospitality to every guest. We look forward to helping you make your event at the Gardner a magical one!
Every aspect of a great event is designed, or planned, to be just that way. Careful attention is given to specific details such as the colors of table linens, centerpieces, decorations, table layout, timing, lighting, music and of course the food. Depending on what kind of event you are hosting the details can be endless and ever-changing. Let us work behind the scenes to coordinate and execute your event for you. Sit back and relax or be as involved as you want, but most importantly be a guest and enjoy your special occasion at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
