Here’s how it works:
Get hitched (or renew your vows) at a 15 minute semi-private ceremony with 10 of your favorite people. Then, stay and celebrate at an ongoing communal wedding reception that includes an eight-foot long cake, photo booth, and DIY buttonmaking. It is a BYOB event –that stands for Bring Your Own Bouquet– and Abbott Square Market will be open for food and drinks.
Upon arrival, choose one of these artful spaces to say “I do.” Options include:
or, the historic spot in front of the Octagon in Abbott Square

“The MAH’s mission is to ignite shared experiences and unexpected connections. What could be more shared or unexpected than this?”
