Hotel Providence

In June of 2022 I had wedding at Hotel Providence. Everything about this venue and the Hotel P team was flawless from start to finish. I had no idea what I was doing planning a wedding, but Kate blew my mind with her knowledge and expertise in all things wedding. Her recommendations led me to most of the vendors and decorations I ended up using on the day of. She also guided me through the linen selection (which is provided by the venue) and her attention to detail ensured my wedding was beautiful. To top it off, the day of we all left without our bouquets and Kate personally drove them to the church (in MA, mind you) to save the wedding!

The bridal suite comfortably accommodated my entire bridal party including 3 hairstylists and 2 makeup artists. We ate dinner and had our first dances in the ballroom with about 100 guests. Even now, almost 5 months later I still have people telling me it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. Hotel Providence also delivers when it comes to great wedding shots! Some of my favorite pictures from the day are dancing with my husband on their roof, or the shot down from their spiral staircase.

Overall, Kate is easily the best in the game, and Hotel Providence will make your dream wedding come true.

When my husband and I decided to plan our wedding, we knew we wanted something small in a unique venue. We also knew we wanted to have our wedding where we met-in Providence, RI. The Hotel Providence was the PERFECT choice!

Venue
The venue itself is stunning and unique. Our ceremony was held on the gorgeous rooftop terrace, where staff accommodated our request for a rooftop bar for before and during the ceremony. The main dining room was the perfect location for our reception. With access to the restaurant space and the courtyard, too, our guests had plenty of room to dance, drink, mingle, and enjoy the summer weather.

Food & Drink
One thing we were really amazed by was the amount of food and food options we had. From hearty food stations and appetizers down to much-needed late night snacks, the food was rolling out all night. The best part was that it was all delicious! The drinks were made well and readily available all night.

Staff
From the initial planning stages to the last song of our wedding night, Kate and Emily handled every detail and helped make our wedding perfect and stress-free. They coordinated drop off from other vendors, helped us make (and keep) a timeline, and incorporate fun extras, like a cigar bar and cornhole for the courtyard and a kids' activity table for the youngest guests. They answered our countless questions and always made us feel like we were the only clients they had.
The waitstaff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, even making sure to deliver a slice fo wedding cake to the rooms of a few young guests who didn't make it to cake cutting time. The bartenders went above and beyond, even offering to go to a nearby liquor store to purchase the groom's beer of choice when it was revealed that it was replaced by a comparable beer that we had not requested.

The Hotel Providence helped this visionless bride create the the most perfect setting for the most perfect day. It is without hesitation that I would not only recommend the Hotel Providence for any special event but would also happily host another event here in the future!

What an amazing venue. Beautiful location for a RI Wedding. It was perfect to have everything in one place (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception). There are so many different spaces to utilize which kept our guests entertained for the entire night. Kate, Emily, and the staff at Hotel Providence went above and beyond and we could not recommend them or this venue enough!!!

Kate and the team at Hotel Providence are incredible professionals. They embraced our unique vision while providing helpful suggestions and guidance that helped the day go smoothly. The day of our wedding, we focused only on getting married and having a lovely time, thanks to the staff at Hotel Providence, who managed all the details for us.

We had a fantastic time at Hotel Providence celebrating our wedding. Kate did a beautiful job transforming what is already a beautiful venue into a magical fairytale garden experience. Our guests all had a great time, and everyone couldn't say enough about how fantastic the food was! The New England seafood station in particular was a real hit with our guests! The staff also made sure to put food aside for my husband and me, which was a nice touch to make sure we actually got enough food. I would definitely recommend working with Hotel Providence for your wedding!

We had such a great experience using Hotel Providence for our wedding! From our first meeting with Kate through the day-of with Emily, we always knew we were in good hands. They made planning so easy and fun, walking us through each step of the process. The food was delicious, the venue spaces were beautiful, and most importantly our guests and us had the best time on wedding day!!

We had our wedding at Hotel Providence and we are so glad we did! The venue is beautiful. There are so many unique places to take pictures, from their staircase to the rooftop. The ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception are all held in different spaces, but all near each other. At first, I was skeptical of this idea but when I toured the hotel, I loved this! It helps break up the night and keeps guests moving. It also keeps them intrigued about what happens next. The reception room was recently painted- it is no longer red! We actually enjoyed the red, but I think for some people this color can be too dramatic or dark. The room is now a light gray color and omg, it's a beautiful change. We liked the red, but we loved the gray. It makes the room feel so much bigger and it matches everything. Weddings are always expensive, but we found Hotel Providence to be reasonable compared to other venues, especially considering all that is included. We worked with Kate for several months as we planned all the details. She is very detail-oriented and helpful as you pick out all the details. She is so accommodating and wants to make sure your night is exactly what you want it to be. We added things here, took things away there, and there was no issue at all- she made sure everything happened. I would often have random questions during the process, emailing them to Kate as they came up. She is patient and kind, always responding within a couple days and making sure everything was clear. We met Emily the week of the wedding and was our day of coordinator, spending the entire wedding day at the hotel. She worked with her staff, making sure all of the decor was set up the way we hoped. We explained how we wanted our decor, but ultimately gave her control to make any executive decisions that made sense- for example, if something just didn't look "right" in one spot, feel free to move it to a better spot. We were not disappointed by how everything looked! It was all beautiful, and it was a perfect night. We stayed in a king suite and it was the perfect size for me, 3 bridesmaids, hair/make up artist, photographer, videographer, and the family members who came in and out throughout the day. We have received many compliments for choosing this venue. We are very grateful that we chose Hotel Providence (the first venue we toured actually!) We definitely recommend this venue, and would choose it over and over again.. Thank you!

We are so happy we chose to have our wedding at the Hotel Providence. Everyone you work with is super friendly, responsive, and helpful. The ceremony/reception spaces are beautiful, the food is great, and it is one of the best values in Providence venues. Our wedding couldn't have been better - we are so grateful and highly recommend them to anyone looking to get married in Rhode Island!!

This venue and wedding package was perfect. The recommended vendors were great and simplified the process. We did the microwedding during COVID and it turned out beautiful. I feel like I had an amazing wedding for less. Our guests loved the food, especially the filet. Highly recommend.

We had a great experience with Hotel Providence. They were one of the hotels we used for a wedding block for our wedding, and our guests who chose to stay there loved it. We also used them for our brunch for out of towners, and their pricing was extremely reasonable, the food was tasty, and they had plenty of space for us and our 30-40 guests. Would definitely recommend!
