Facility
The Providence Public Library offers a magnificent event space, accessible through their historic Washington Street entrance. Built in 1878, the Library is a prime example of turn-of-the-century American architecture. It traces its architectural pedigree to the Sansovino’s Library in Venice and the Libraire de Ste. Genevieve in Paris, and still further back, the Italian palaces of the Renaissance period.
Your wedding rental will include the Ship Room, the Grand Hall and its indoor Courtyard, as well as a Newlywed Suite. In addition, you will have access to many gorgeous formal photography locations (including the book-stacks!) and a well-tuned Baby Grand Piano. These spaces are truly unique, and come complete with all of the necessary tables and chairs for the evening.
Your Russell Morin Event Managers will use their expertise to personalize a timeline, that will seemlessly guide your guests throughout our unique spaces.

Scott W. Married on 08/07/2022Perfect location for Providence wedding
This venue is exceptionally beautiful and very well managed. You hardly need any additional decorations, the dinner room is elegant and gorgeous, and the dance floor in the courtyard is a lot of fun. The staff who work there are professional and responsive. The downtown location is incredibly convenient. We would highly recommend it. -

Tori G. Married on 06/19/2021Beautiful fairytale venue
If you're considering booking the PPL for your wedding, just do it! We got so many compliments on how beautiful and unique our venue is. Everything flowed perfectly from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. Most importantly, what we didn't realize when booking is that by booking the library we received our fairy godmother in Paige. Paige is absolutely amazing and took so much of the stress of planning our wedding off of us! She gave amazing recommendations, made sure all the food was exactly how we wanted it, worked with us as we made changes and helped us use some of the library's decor for free. At the end of the night, she made sure everything was packed in our car and ready to go. She wrangled our large family at the rehearsal (no easy task) and made sure my husband and I were attended to our entire wedding night. Paige alone makes booking the library completely worth it, the beautiful venue and amazing food are just icing on the (delicious) cake! Thank you, Paige, for all your help!
