“From the moment we stepped into The Graduate Providence for our venue tour, we were awestruck by the beauty of the space. The colors, the ambience, and the ornate decor were exactly the aesthetic we were envisioning for our wedding. We felt immediately certain that we had found our venue. The deal was further sealed when we met Elise, the venue coordinator. She is the embodiment of the type of professionalism, enthusiasm, and wisdom you hope for in a wedding venue coordinator. She patiently answered every question we had, responded to every email promptly, and made us feel extremely at ease about our big day with the level of attention and respect she paid to our ideas. She took the time to understand exactly what we had planned and executed it flawlessly. She truly was a decisive factor in our booking The Graduate Providence. The Graduate Providence itself is an absolutely extraordinary location. We had our ceremony on the Parkview Terrace, our cocktail hour on the Atrium Balcony, and our reception in the Capital Ballroom. We loved how convenient it was to have our wedding in one place (and how convenient it was for our vendors, many of whom had worked with the Graduate Providence before and were thrilled to do so again) and yet, every space within in felt so unique. We also loved being right in the heart of downtown Providence, with so many restaurants, shops, and iconic sights conveniently close by for our guests. On top of that, every staff member with whom we interacted—from the front desk to the waitstaff—could not have been more delightful. They were so friendly and polite throughout the entire process. We had a pretty significant number of out-of-town guests, and all of them reported that they absolutely loved their stay at The Graduate, many thanks to the attentiveness and care of the staff. We truly cannot speak highly enough or more fervently recommend The Graduate Providence for your wedding day. It honestly defined our entire wedding day in the best way. We are eternally grateful to Elise and the entire Graduate staff for all of the hard work, care, and enthusiasm they put into making our wedding day a dream come true.”

“We worked with Chelsea, as our wedding planner/day of coordinator and she was AMAZING! Chelsea made our wedding weekend smooth, easy and stress free. Everything I could possibly need, she had. Everything was organized and beautiful. Chelsea could accommodate anything we needed and had attention to all the details, big and small. Her support staff was also organized, and knew exactly what to do and how to help. There was no question of where to be, when, or what we needed to do. As the bride, there were no issues on my wedding day, as far as I knew. And if there were, I know it is because Chelsea and her team took care of it. They have a golf cart to bring the bride from the hotel to the close outdoor reception place, but it is a nice little ride to ensure you stay clean and don't have to walk. There was champagne to celebrate at the end of the isle after we got married for us and our bridal party. They brought our cocktail hour snacks and drinkswater outside to us to enjoy while doing formal photos so we didn't miss out on anything! The planning stages with Chelsea were easy and coordinated. She had all the questions to ask, and was prepared for anything we could need. We had a few meetings leading up to the wedding where we organized all the finer details to ensure the day went off smoothly. We also had a welcome event and brunch at the venue, and it was great to get multiple different spaces to be able to host those events in a variety of areas within the hotel grounds.”
