Hidden Rhode Island GEM!

I found a wedding venue and my parents found a community! We first toured Squantum in Summer 2021 in search of a wedding venue when we discovered all Squantum had to offer! My parents' were so pleased they decided to join as members. Over the course of the next 16 months the employees became friends and family to my family. The wedding venue is a hidden gem offering the full dedicated property on the day of the event with plenty of different photo backdrops that captures all New England has to offer! Water views, mahogany interior, ship stain glass window, decks, fire pits, etc. We took our engagement and all of our wedding photos on the property. Tina & John were able to accommodate everything we looking for in our day! We able to drop off our decor days leading up to the wedding which was awesome to not worry about it day of. Tina took my vision to life on the day of our wedding setting up all exactly as I had requested. We did not have a hired day of coordinate outside of Tina who was able to handle it all. The day went right to plan and the Squantum staff were fully prepared and on schedule. The food was amazing - all of our guests raved it went above and beyond your expectation of wedding meal. We had a seated 90 guest reception. The guest count filled the room without feeling overcrowded and left plenty of room for a dance floor! As for outside vendors, we went with Squantum's preferred florist, DJ, and bakery for our vendors and all were great. Do not hesitate on the location - our guests were fully able to access Uber's to and from Providence with no issues!! Book your wedding here ASAP!

Amazing wedding venue!

We are so happy we chose Squantum Association! The food and views were amazing. So many people complimented us on the big day. Justine was so helpful, attentive, and quick to get back to us. We were in great hands the whole time and felt so taken care of. Tina was also awesome to work with. The team truly went above and beyond. We highly recommend!

The most perfect venue

Squantum gave my husband and I the wedding of our dreams. The staff, especially Justine and Tina were remarkable to work with, every question was answered, Justine floated thru the entire night, doing small things that didn’t go unnoticed (giving us a plate of each of our apps set up at the sweetheart table for when we sat down, serving beer at the beginning of cocktail hour to assist with the crowd, fixing my wedding topper when I broke it myself, moving our cigar table from outside to inside as we got a quick downpour, boxing up leftovers to bring back). That is exactly what you want from the venue coordinator. The grounds speak for themselves- beautiful. Coming from a large family, we were voted to have the best wedding food ever. And to be honest, for the greatest day of our lives, the price was so totally reasonable, so many venues nickel and dime you on everything- Squantum was transparent right away, no surprise fees attached and we appreciated that during the planning process. Aka just sign the papers and get married here!

Magical Day

My husband and I were able to celebrate our wedding day at the Squantum Association. The facilities both indoor and outside were spectacular. Justine our event coordinator was fantastic and very responsive to my messages especially as our day came closer. The staff was very professional and did a beautiful job setting up, cleaning up and ensuring all of our guests had what they needed throughout the afternoon/evening. I cannot say enough good things about this facility, the staff in addition to the quality of the food and beverages provided. I felt that with what money we spent we were able to get a lot for our money, especially not having to find many outside vendors which I feel saved us money in the long run.

Beautiful Venue with the Best Team

Tina, as all the reviews and vendors say, is absolutely amazing! She is super responsive, thoughtful, and willing to work to accommodate our requests. What a joy to work with! Her and her team went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything on our big day. Our guests would not stop raving about the food and service, they loved it all! We are forever grateful to the Squantum Association team for giving us the most magical day ever. XO, The Floods

Magical from start to finish!

There is nowhere else that my husband and I could have gotten married aside from Squantum. It is such a unique and special place that draws you in from the moment you step onto the grounds. Even my first visit there, an extraordinarily overcast and foggy day could not take away from the magic.

After meeting with Tina and touring the buildings on the property, I knew this was where I wanted to get married. My fiance and I returned to tour together, and it was a wonder and a delight that it ticked all of the boxes of both our sets of criteria. It is the perfect combination of rustic dark woods with a historical background and all the amenities you need in the 21st century.

When you get married at Squantum you are the queen and king of the property for the day. Knowing that you can arrive early enough to get ready on-site was a huge stress relief. We were able to have our own separate getting ready spaces with ample room and amenities. It was also a bonus for us that you are able to do ceremony on-site and seamlessly transition into your cocktail hour and reception.

The areas for photos on property are numerous and gorgeous along the water, out towards the island, or on the grand staircase in the clubhouse.

The food was outstanding and I have had several guests tell me that mine was the best wedding they've been to and that it was such a cool spot.

Squantum is truly a hidden gem and the staff, especially Tina, are beyond amazing and will make your day the best it can be!

I truly wish I had another reason (and the budget) to throw another event there!!

Perfect wedding!

My wife and I were had our wedding ceremony and reception at Squantum in Nov. 2023, and everything was perfect! Everyone of our guests commented how beautiful the venue grounds and buildings were, how delicious the food was and, for ourselves, there wasn't a single thing that we thought, "You know, this could have been a little better..." EVERYTHING was absolutely perfect! Special thanks to Tina who was exceptional in communication and suggestions, and extremely helpful in realizing our vision for our wedding. I've lived in RI all my life, and I never knew about Squantum...thankfully a my best man recommended it, and I and my wife now wholeheartedly recommend Squantum association for anyone thinking about a wedding venue!!! - Jon and Jenny

Wonderful Wedding Venue

Our experience with Squantum was beyond amazing from beginning to end. Tina went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day of our lives. She, and all of the staff, are so friendly, professional, and supportive throughout the whole process. We truly cannot say enough about this gem of a place! Thank you for everything!

A Hidden Gem With The Best Service

We can't say enough about Squantum Association as our wedding venue. From the beautiful views, to the historic buildings, and the great staff, we can't imagine having to plan our wedding without the help of Tina Desrosiers. She was attentive and was able to address any concern (there was not many) and make our day so great.

Our food was phenomenal, our guests couldn't stop talking about how great everything was whether it was location or just the venue in general and how much fun they had. We would recommend this venue to anyone who's looking for a great value and price with great service.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
