Citizens House of Blues Boston

Citizens House of Blues Boston is a concert venue and restaurant on Lansdowne Street, right beside Fenway Park. Away from its concert calendar, its Music Hall, Foundation Room, Restaurant and Bar, and Patio are available for private events, including weddings and receptions. If live music matters to you, few places in the city put your celebration this close to a real stage.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

This is a venue for couples who want a party rather than a formal banquet. You can take a single room for a small dinner or a much larger space for a big crowd, and the Music Hall gives a band or DJ a genuine concert setting. A dedicated events sales team runs private bookings, so you can set the tone you want, from a relaxed dinner to full concert energy.

Ceremonies

Weddings and receptions are both part of the private events program. For a smaller ceremony, ask the events team about the Foundation Room or the Patio. Floorplans and capacities for every space are available, which makes it easier to plan a ceremony and reception that flow from one room to the next.

Receptions and food

The Music Hall is the centerpiece, and across its spaces the venue hosts between 25 and 2,200 guests. The Foundation Room has its own dinner menu for private dinners, while the Restaurant and Bar offers a separate menu that suits a more casual reception. The Patio adds an outdoor option in the warmer months. Ask for the capacities sheet early so you can match the right room to your guest count.

Getting there and the area

The venue is at 15 Lansdowne Street, next to Fenway Park and less than a mile from the Hynes Convention Center. Kenmore station on the MBTA Green Line is a short walk away, and the Fenway and Back Bay neighborhoods have plenty of hotels for guests. Red Sox home games bring big crowds to the street, so check the baseball schedule before you choose a date.
