About Boston City Hall
Boston City Hall is a noted example of Brutalist architecture, described as stark, bold, proud, and rebellious among its historic neighbors. Its dramatic and modern design inspires some visitors, though its plaza is seen as barren by others. The building is in a great location near MBTA stations. Inside, operations are efficient, hosting city council meetings, mayor's offices open to public concerns, and departments for business, elections, parking tickets, and civil marriage ceremonies in the basement. While some employees have been noted as rude, wedding experiences are frequently wonderful and smooth, with nice ceremonies and helpful staff at the registry desk. The building serves as a popular and memorable location for civil wedding photography.
