Help with choosing a venue in providence?!

Bree, on February 2, 2020 at 9:59 AM Posted in Rhode Island Planning 0 6
Hello,
I’m starting to plan the big parts of my wedding and my excitement transformed into anxiety quite fast. This kind of decision making has really thrown me. I was hoping I could share my dilemma with the community and get some advice. My fiancé and I are from providence,ri and have our heart set on bringing everyone to the city we love. I always loved Providence for it being a small and cozy city, but I’m starting to worry the small cozy atmosphere is working against me.
We are planning on having 100-110 guests for our wedding. And our parents are complaining about our favorite venues being too small and not comfortable for 100 people. We have made tours to see Waterman Grille, Gracie’s, and Hotel Providence. But it’s been really hard to see the empty sites and visualize if 100 people can fit comfortably.Has anyone had success with 100 guests at these venues? I would appreciate you sharing your experience. Or are there any venues I overlooked that could be a better fit? We are hoping to stay under 20,000 for food beverage and venue. Any advice would be appreciatedThank you!Bree

    What about the Graduate Hotel? (Formerly Biltmore.) They have a lot of venue space.



    The Hotel Providence ballroom fits 250, so obviously 100 people won’t be crowded at all. Gracie’s only has private rooms for 8 or 50, so I’m not sure how that’d work at all? Waterman’s max is 125, so I do think 110 might make it feel a little crammed.

    Hey there, Bree. Have you checked out the WeddingWire venue directory as part of your search? These are all the venues that have the capacity for 100 - 199 guests in the area - Providence Wedding Venues. Do you have a type of venue in mind?
