Catering Manager, Michael Boivin
Michael has been creating memorable weddings for the past 29 years. Prior to joining the Boston Harbor Hotel team, Michael’s wedding and catering experience has included Four Seasons Boston, Fairmont Copley Plaza, JW Marriott and Marriott’s Grand Hotel. Michael is a graduate of Cornell University for Hospitality.
What I love most about working in weddings is the experience of meeting a couple, hearing their visions and making those visions a reality. I want each wedding I do to reflect the tastes of the bride and groom – not my personal taste. It is always so much fun to sit down with the bride and groom, interpret them and then turn it all into a celebration environment. My tip to all brides, grooms and families who are planning weddings is: “Relax and have fun! Enjoy the moment.”
Mother of the Bride Review: “We had our daughter’s wedding at the Boston Harbor Hotel. We worked with Michael Boivin and he was absolutely wonderful He put us at ease immediately. Michael is a very warm, kind and professional person…he also planned our brunch on Sunday morning, which was the finishing touch to a magical week-end.” – WeddingWire.com, Shelley
Catering Manager, Ted Daniels
Ted graduated from The Culinary Institute of America and has taken his experience and knowledge from the back of the house to the front of the house by creating exceptional weddings for the past 29 years.
From Washington DC, Cleveland (his hometown), San Francisco, and Boston for the past 20 years, Ted cherishes each of his weddings as if they were his own.
Each wedding is different as it reflects the couple’s style; be it, the time of year, set up and décor of a Ballroom, food and beverage selections, to how they end the wedding. “Don’t tell your guests about the wedding details. Let there be suspense as your guests will enjoy the wedding more and you will enjoy seeing their reactions that much more.
One of Ted’s most meaningful experiences was helping a chosen Military couple to create “a Wedding to Remember” which Fox25 covered with an all-expense paid wedding and honeymoon
Outside of work, Ted has been married for 32 years and enjoys their yard, their two dachshunds Frank and Garrett, and traveling to sunny soaked beaches with tropical blue water.
Director of Catering, Rachel Stiglets
Rachel has 18 years of experience in the hospitality industry. Prior to joining the team at the Boston Harbor Hotel, she worked in both Boston and Chicago, where she served as the Director of Catering & Convention Services at the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel and the Director of Catering & Convention Services (as well as other positions) at the Wyndham Boston Hotel. She started her career at the Copley Plaza Hotel.
As Director of Catering at the Boston Harbor Hotel, I have to say that my favorite aspect of coming to work each day is my team. I have the luxury of working alongside four of the most talented catering managers in the industry. Daily I receive e-mails, letters and phone calls – one after the next – to express the beyond compare service they have delivered again and again. Whether a corporate event, or a Father of the Bride gushing over the wedding they had the past weekend and how we delivered a dream come true for his daughter, I never tire of hearing how this team continues to deliver unique, personalized experiences for our guests.
Executive Chef, David Daniels
Born and raised in Boston by a large Italian family, David Daniels discovered his unorthodox dream to become a chef from the young age of thirteen. In 1986 Daniels embarked on a journey traveling across the United States to learn the ropes from the masters – including Acqua in San Francisco, Ventana Country Inn in Big Sur, and Pinot Blanc in St. Helena. Upon returning to New England, David took over the reins at The Wauwinet on Nantucket which was awarded the Grand Award from Wine Spectator. He then came home to Boston as Executive Chef at the OAK Bar + Kitchen at the Fairmont Copley Plaza and Aragosta at the Fairmont Battery Wharf, before spending four years as Culinary Director with MET Restaurant Group, Saltie Girl and Stephanie’s Restaurant Group, and Culinary Director for Bespoke Hospitality.
Executive Pastry Chef, Shawn Dresser
Born and raised in Abington, Massachusetts, Shawn Dresser realized his passion for culinary at the young age of eight. He found a love for cooking shows and admired through his screen the talents of Julia Child and Jacques Pépin. Picking up new skills along the way, Shawn committed to cooking full Sunday dinners for his family, unknowingly beginning his successful career in hospitality.
Despite his young age, Shawn always showed an eagerness to learn and grow as a chef- even asking for a wok on his 10th birthday! This drive and passion to succeed only grew as he attended the French Pastry School in Chicago, Illinois as well as the Notter School in Orlando, Florida and Newbury College in Brookline, MA.
Prior to joining the Boston Harbor Hotel team in 2008, Shawn was a Pastry Chef at the Hotel@MIT and the Seaport Hotel in Boston.
