    • 1 Event Space

    Whether you're planning a work outing, a wedding party, or a private event, HAVA gives you plenty of options to personalize your venue and make your idea a reality. Our venue has a one-of-a-kind environment that allows you to design the ideal celebration for your special occasion. John Stefanon of JFS Design Studio, a well-known interior designer, designed the interior of HAVA Lounge. HAVA Lounge's design elements were influenced by a significant attention to history and emotion. Originally intended to serve as the theater's ladies lounge and orchestra area, this stunning space required subtle elegance reminiscent of the era. The glamorized cues of HAVA Lounge are visible from the moment you walk in, with its "Victorian Chic" décor. Bold dramatic declarations of shapes and patterns, balanced and juxtaposed in Jing-Jang form, bring a unique vibe to this historic Boston jewel. As you move from the Main Lounge to the Back Lounge, the HAVA Lounge's mood is elevated, and a more surreal style is introduced to what used to be the orchestra pit area. The theme of "moths driven to a flame" called for dim lighting and components that would transport consumers to a pleasant summer night on Shanghai's streets – or to a faraway fantasy locale. Both lounges were designed to generate an exciting sense of motion within time and fantasy. We provide a number of customizable options, including as DJs, catering, video and audio, security, bar and servers (for Age Appropriate Events), and more, to help you create a one-of-a-kind, unforgettable event for up to 380 people.
