Unveiling Boston’s Hidden Gem
Nestled in the heart of Boston’s shopping district, the iconic Newbury Boston combines historic charm with modern luxury, creating the perfect backdrop for any occasion. The event spaces exude timeless elegance, perfect for weddings, galas, corporate dinners, and intimate gatherings. From the Assembly Ballroom adorned with crystal chandeliers and tree-lined street views to the picturesque Hunts Room showcasing large windows and natural light, each space offers a unique character to match a variety of visions.
Drawing inspiration from the vibrant energy of spring, we teamed up with Sarue Event Design, Petal by Sabrina, and Yoke Media to transform several of these versatile event spaces. Leveraging natural elements, the team at Sarue Events and Petal by Sabrina styled a corporate gala and two intimate dinners that showcased the Newbury Boston’s potential for unforgettable gatherings.
“Designing this shoot, I was inspired by the vibrant colors and fresh atmosphere of spring,” said Samantha Curtis, Owner of Sarue Event Design. “The blooming flowers, lush mossy greenery, and soft sunlight of the season provided a picturesque backdrop for the shoot, evoking a sense of renewal and beauty.”

Making a statement
“The design inspiration behind this corporate gala was bringing an ocean-toned affair to the city”, said Samantha Curtis, Owner of Sarue Event Design. “We used elements that emphasized a central message of marine conservation and highlighted the bold blue and green tones of the ballroom.
One of the key elements that brought this design together was the illuminated circular bar staged at the center of the gala. It was designed to naturally draw attention and encourage interaction and networking between guests. The circular bar improves the overall flow and functionality of the space as well as allows efficient service, as bartenders could serve guests from all sides.
We collaborated closely with the team at Petal by Sabrina to highlight natural elements in the design. The centerpieces alternated between bold blue sprays of orchids and delphinium and natural mossy textured arrangements placed directly on the tables.”
