Resolution Ball

I went last year to The Resolution Ball at the Sea Port Hotel. more

The Resolution Ball is such an amazing event! My friends and I are looking forward to attending this year at the Sheraton Copley. The Felix Brown Band is great! Also the food and drinks are always delicious. Its a great night out and I can't wait for NYE this year ! more

The good: * plenty of people all dressed up (women mostly in short sequined dresses, men in dark suits) * easy to get drinks, champagne toast * some places to sit, if you nab an unused table * place to get your picture taken until 11 The less good: * venue is too large, so even though the crowd is huge, it isn't intimate * really horrible cocktails (the worst I've had and expensive too) * terrible music for dancing -- they advertised Motown, 80s, 90s, and current top-40 dance & club hits, but I only recognized 3 songs over the course of 3 hours of slowish R&B Recommended for 20-somethings who come in a crowd, get drunk beforehand, and like R&B Not recommended for 30- and 40-somethings. There were people of that age there, but they didn't seem to be having a good time, since the music wasn't danceable. more

Resolution Ball was a good but not great time. The crowd was good, there was a good mix of younger and older crowd. everyone was dressed to impress, and the venue was decorated very well. Some people complained about the drinks but I only paid $7.50 for a mixed drink that was filled at least half full with vodka, seems pretty well priced for me. There were plenty of stations to get a drink and I waited no more than 2 or 3 minutes to get a drink. The band was great and played good music, alot of hip hop and even some songs from the 90's and pop songs. Some of the bad include the size of the venue; it was huge and for the amount of people that attended (which was a lot) it could of been smaller. It made the place look empty when it was at least 1,000 people there. Another thing was the ticket price. I only paid $65 for the party only option and on the way to the Resolution ball I saw plenty of other venues that were packed and were probably cheaper to attend. This venue had nothing really to seperate itself. Also took over an hour to catch a cab after. more

I highly doubt all the 5 stars for this event decided to post on the 2 same random days of the year. Honestly the only review here that looks real is the 1 star. I'll pass, must be pretty bad or the person running the show is greedy as hell to employ such poor marketing methods more

I've been to this event a few times and I've always had a blast. It's the biggest event in town and there's nowhere else to get that feeling of being part of something really vibrant and fun! So many NYE events are too boring. In the past there's been a dinner option and that was fun - not having to worry about where we were going to go before the party and how we were going to be treated. The food was great and we made new friends that we partied with throughout the night. Plus it was great to stay overnight at the hotel. Their service was super and it was a wonderful feeling of getting away from it all. Highly recommended! more

Last year was my first year attending with my boyfriend and a group of our friends and we had a blast! I had a ton of questions and the organizers were very helpful answering all of them before i bought tickets. I could not believe how beautiful the venue was and the atmosphere was great. They had a band and a DJ which I loved because we danced the whole night and had a good time. I am going again this year and we even got a room at the Seaport Hotel for a really reasonable price. If you are looking for something fun and excited to do this New Year more

I'm usually not much of a party person, especially on New Years Eve, but some friends convinced me to check out The Resolution Ball a few years ago and I've been going back ever since. It's one of the biggest parties in the city, but it never feels too big or too impersonal -- you always feel taken care of. It's anigth of good food, good friends, good fun. See you there this year. more

This is a really fun large scale event! We are excited to have the Felix Brown Band again! I have been to the space for many business events and the transformation of the space to look like an upscale nightspot in Boston is amazing. The drink prices are reasonable and lower than most hotels/nightclubs. This year there will be designated bars for specialty drinks, beer/wine and champagne so guests have more options. Looking forward to another fun night and great turnout! more

My girlfriends and I decided we wanted to do a ball this for NYE. So I did some research back in November to try and find the best option. I found this one at the Seaport Hotel/World Trade Center. more

I went to the Resolution Ball last year with 5 of my friends. We had an amazing time! The food was delicious, music was awesome, and the atmosphere was great. We met some great people and danced all night! I definetely recommend going to it. I am going again this year! more

I had an awesome time last year at the Resolution ball! I went with a group of my friends and plan on going again this year. The music is great and there were a lot of young professionals from around Boston to meet. Can't wait to go again and see the event at the Seaport Hotel more

What an awesome way to spend New Year's Eve! New Year's is one of my favorite nights of the year so you have to know how seriously I take my events. If I can recommend anything, it is the Resolution Ball. The food is always amazing, the service is always friendly, and the band/DJ is always an absolute blast. Great way to bring in the New Year with all your friends! more

This will be my third year attending the Resolution Ball. Every year our group size seems to get larger. We are up to 20 people in our party! The music and atmosphere is exactly what we are looking for. (mostly young professionals from the Boston area). We are really excited to attend this year at the Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center. more

I went to the Resolution Ball last year with a group of friends. It was hands down one of the best New Years Eves ever! We plan on going back this year to the Resolution Ball at Cyclorama in the South End. This location is going to be PERFECT for the hottest of Boston's young professionals. Can't wait! Pros: great music, lots of bars, good atmosphere more
