Prior to joining the Boston Harbor Hotel team, Michael's wedding and catering experience has included Four Seasons Boston, Fairmont Copley Plaza, JW Marriott and Marriott's Grand Hotel. Michel is a graduate of Cornell University for Hospitality.
What I love most about working in weddings is the experience of meeting a couple, hearing their visions and making those visions a reality. I want each wedding I do to reflect the tastes of the bride and groom - not my personal taste. It is always so much fun to sit down with the bride and groom, interpret them and then turn it all into a celebration environment. My tip to all brides, grooms and families who are planning weddings is: "Relax and have fun! Enjoy the moment."
Mother of the Bride Review: "We had our daughter's wedding at the Boston Harbor Hotel. We worked with Michael Boivin and he was absolutely wonderful He put us at ease immediately. Michael is a very warm, kind and professional person...he also planned our brunch on Sunday morning, which was the finishing touch to a magical week-end." - WeddingWire.com, Shelley
Catering Manager, Ted Daniels
Catering Manager, Ted Daniels
Ted graduated from The Culinary Institute of America and has taken his experience and knowledge from the back of the house to the front of the house by creating exceptional weddings for the past 29 years.
From Washington DC, Cleveland (his hometown), San Francisco, and Boston for the past 20 years, Ted cherishes each of his weddings as if they were his own.
Each wedding is different as it reflects the couple’s style; be it, the time of year, set up and décor of a Ballroom, food and beverage selections, to how they end the wedding. “Don’t tell your guests about the wedding details. Let there be suspense as your guests will enjoy the wedding more and you will enjoy seeing their reactions that much more.
One of Ted’s most meaningful experiences was helping a chosen Military couple to create “a Wedding to Remember” which Fox25 covered with an all-expense paid wedding and honeymoon
Outside of work, Ted has been married for 32 years and enjoys their yard, their two dachshunds Frank and Garrett, and traveling to sunny soaked beaches with tropical blue water.

Whether a corporate event, or a Father of the Bride gushing over the wedding they had the past weekend and how we delivered a dream come true for his daughter, I never tire of hearing how this team continues to deliver unique, personalized experiences for our guests.
