Unique Boston Event Venues

An Event Venue of Distinction

The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum is a spectacular event setting. Located in the middle of Fort Point Channel along Boston Harbor, the site offers breathtaking waterfront and cityscape views. A venue unlike any other in Boston, the 18th century colonial details throughout, the site provides an event space with a unique atmosphere.

The delightfully engaging ambience of the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum transforms any event – a cocktail reception, seated dinner, or business meeting – into a truly memorable, truly Boston experience

Venue Facilities

The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum is available for events seven days a week, beginning at 6pm. Five unique venue rental options offer the opportunity to host a unique and customized event.

Abigail’s Tea Room and Terrace

Event Capacity
Seated dinner: 100 guests
Standing reception: 160 guests
Abigail’s Tea Room & Terrace is a charming, spacious indoor event space that reflects the quiet elegance of the 18th Century. Floor to ceiling windows surround the room with spectacular views of the waterfront and contemporary glass-clad office towers. A pair of double doors opens to the covered Terrace, where additional seating is available.

Abigail’s Tea Room, Terrace & Griffin’s Wharf

Event Capacity
Seated dinner: 100 guests
Standing reception: 250 guests
From late spring to early fall, Abigail’s Tea Room & Terrace and Griffin’s Wharf can be used simultaneously for events. Griffin’s Wharf is a wonderful place for a reception, followed by a seated dinner in Abigail’s Tea Room & Terrace. The combination of GW and Abigail’s offers guest the opportunity to enjoy mingling throughout the site while enjoying food stations and bars set in various locations. The expansive deck of Griffin’s Wharf offers a unique atmosphere for early evening receptions.

Ship Experience

This experience can be featured as an add-on to either of the rental options above. Invite your guests to board our 18th century replica ships, interact with a Son & Daughter of Liberty, engage in stories of the people, events and consequences that let up to the American Revolution. The highlight of every event will be to “dump the tea into the sea!”

Revelry on Griffin’s Wharf

Revelry is a fully immersive experience for event guests. Colonial performers representing various trades and social classes interact with guests who then become part of a bustling colonial wharf. Hands on activities, games, storytelling and interactive performances will bring history alive. Revelry also includes the boarding of two full size 18th century replica ships to meet the crews and participate in the tossing of the East India tea into Boston Harbor.
Revelry: 200 people
