Omni Parker House

Hi everyone!

FI & I are seriously considering the Omni Parker House as a possible venue for our ceremony and reception.  We'll be having an Indian ceremony, so I was wondering if anyone has any experience with that type of ceremony at this venue?  The coordinator didn't have a ton of information about how we could work the baraat, since it is in the middle of downtown.  If anyone has any experiences, please let me know!

Also - any feedback on the Omni Parker House wedding experience (good, bad, ugly) would be much appreciated.  We really liked the old world feel, and the rooftop ballroom windows, and for the price it seems like you get everything.  We're just worried that we're missing something huge.

Thanks!

My good friend got married at the Omni Parker house about 3 years ago.  Ceremony was in a ballroom, and the reception was in the rooftop ballroom, which was beautiful.  Food was delicious, and she never has any problems with the venue.  I went to the tasting with her and her FI and everything was really well done.   Sorry I can't provide any feedback re: the Indian ceremony, as her ceremony was Jewish.
But it is a beautiful location.

They are known to have bedbugs. Found on BedBugs Report/Boston. Something to think about.

I stayed on the tenth floor the night of May 17th, 2012. I saw three small bugs on one of the two double beds but the front desk had already made me change rooms, as the first one they gave me had unmade beds and a room service tray full of half eaten food. I knew this was the last room and decided to go into denial. I started itching the following morning but no bites appeared until the morning of the 19th, after my first night at home. I was covered with welts. They were all over both arm

s, hands, my back, my neck, even my face. I contacted my doctor, an exterminator, and responded to an email from the hotel. I was extremely anxious (and still am) because the neighbors in my five-unit, self managed condo will make me pay for the entire building to be treated if they find out I have bed bugs and the exterminator said it costs thousands of dollars to get rid of bed bugs because you have to take apart the furniture and really turn the place upside down. In the past I was blamed for a flea infestation, just because I was the one who did something about my problem even though my neighbors had noticed them first. I panicked at the thought of both treating a bedbug infestation and being accused of negligence for not letting anyone know about the possibility. The hotel is sending a service to my place tomorrow but if their presence alerts my neighbors to a problem, I will have to try to find a way to recover something because I cannot afford to deal with a bed bug infestation. My one night stay became a nightmare! The hotel has so far been very cooperative but the misery of having these bites all over me and not being able to go to work or teach has taken its toll on me already.

I was a guest at a wedding and it was beautiful. I follow them on my facebook and it looks like they renovated their wedding hall. I think every hotel in any major city has bed bug problems and clears them up, but maybe I am wrong?
