Bird’s-Eye Views: Taj Boston

Boston, Massachusetts
You’ll already feel on top of the world on the big day, but the glassed-in space on the 17th floor of the Taj Boston will take your wedding to even greater heights. This swanky spot atop the former Ritz-Carlton has hosted galas under the stars for decades, including private performances during the Big Band era. Nowadays, couples work with the Taj’s expert planners to transform the 3,400-square-foot room (open April through November) into something all their own. After taking in views of the Public Garden and Hub skyline, prepare yourself for even more fabulous city lights: This venue also makes honeymoon arrangements at select Taj hotels, from San Francisco to Dubai. >> 15 Arlington St., 617-536-5700, tajhotels.com
