I had the pleasure of working with Hope Lodge Venue recently as a wedding photographer and I can say they are a fantastic choice . Their communication style is incredibly responsive, helpful, and enthusiastic - they go above and beyond to ensure every detail is taken care of. Great quality of work for a the value ; the venue is open, clean, bright, and airy, creating the perfect atmosphere for a wedding or big event . One memorable example was when the staff dressed up along with the Gatsby-themed wedding, truly immersing themselves in the couple's vision. My only suggestion would be for them to potentially expand their parking area in the future, but overall, Hope Lodge Venue is an excellent option for couples seeking a beautiful, well-managed wedding venue and one they could decorate and make their own.

Evergreen Farms was an amazing place to host our wedding weekend. Not only is the venue rustic, up and coming, and classic, the owners Jess and Mike are there for you from ever before you book with them, throughout the whole planning process, and during your wedding day. For us, their help on our wedding day went above and beyond. Our wedding day was filled with severe thunderstorm warnings and during our reception as it was down pouring, Jess and Mike were outside preventing flooding with shopvacs and sandbags so our caterers could enter and leave safely. All of this happened behind the scenes. What drew us for the venue from the beginning was the ability to have the venue for the whole weekend - afternoon on Friday through early Sunday morning. We were able to host our rehearsal dinner, set up early on Friday and then breakdown our items on Sunday morning which eased up our stress quite a bit. Our guests were in awe of the beauty of the venue. My husband and I couldn’t recommend Evergreen Farms more for your special day.

We had our wedding on 6/22/2024 at Angel & Anchor Farm with 125 guests. It was absolutely the best day ever thanks to the venue owners, Bill and Nicole. The venue is absolutely stunning. There are so many spots on the farm for your ceremony, for photos, etc. The farm was in full bloom in June as well. The bridal and groomsmen suite were also stunning, and offered a beautiful and cozy space for everyone to get ready in the morning. Bill and Nicole are also incredible. They truly did everything possible to make our wedding day so special. We didn't have to worry about a single thing, they were on it. From making adjusting for weather, setting up our beautiful reception tent, to attending the fire and more, they made our day absolutely flawless. If anything went wrong, my husband and I didn't know about it because Bill and Nicole just took care of it. We absolutely loved our wedding day and our guests kept saying the same. The farm is sprawling and offers so much space for guests to walk around and mingle. Everyone truly had an amazing time. Couldn't recommend the venue enough.

Some ideas need time and space to materialize. Transforming an old rodeo horse farm into a creative compound for events and projects has proven to be a challenging example. Over time, thoughtful outbuildings and spaces are popping up throughout a fourteen-acre campus of oak forests and wild meadows. One hundred feet of wiggly barn welcomes experiences from intimate projects to large wedding celebrations with loved ones. Now, it’s a steady push towards sustainable, creative projects working in sync with the natural surroundings. Get out in the woods, get a little weird. Try to have a good time.

Words truly can't capture how exceptional Julia, Grace, and the entire Falls Creek team were. Not only are they incredibly professional and talented, but they’re also some of the kindest, most thoughtful people we've had the pleasure of working with. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel completely cared for. They welcomed us so warmly, checked in throughout the day, and handled every little hiccup with grace and efficiency. (Often before we even realized anything needed attention.) While we didn’t have the most hands-on coordinator, the Falls Creek team never missed a step. They stepped in seamlessly, going above and beyond to ensure everything ran perfectly. Thanks to them, our wedding day was not only beautiful but truly stress-free and more than we ever imagined. We’re so grateful for everything they did to make our day so special. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

We got married at the Haley Mansion on September 12th, and it was truly everything I’ve ever dreamed of. From the very first time my husband and I toured the venue, I just knew it was the place we were meant to get married. The property is absolutely stunning — so peaceful, elegant, and beautifully maintained. The mansion itself is breathtaking, and the view over the water made it feel like something out of a fairytale. We had the absolute best experience working with Joe, Zac, and Sue. They made our day beyond perfect! I mainly worked with Joe throughout the planning process, and he was amazing. He was always so easy to reach, quick to respond, and answered every single one of my questions (and there were a lot!). Joe went over every detail with us to make sure everything was perfect — and it truly was. He made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable, and I always felt heard and cared for. He also made sure everything on the day of the wedding was perfect. From the decorations, to checking on me to see how I was doing, to fluffing my dress before walking down the aisle, he didn’t miss a thing and it didn’t go unnoticed. I truly can’t thank him enough for the care and attention he put into our special day.  Zac was incredible too! He planned our rehearsal dinner, which turned out beautifully, and on the wedding day, he was there from beginning to end making sure everything ran smoothly. Thanks to Zac and Joe, every detail was flawless — not a single thing out of place. We even had an ice cream bar (which was a huge hit!), and Zac was the one serving ice cream to guests with the biggest smile. He went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for him. Sue, our officiant, made our ceremony so special and personal. She took the time to get to know us and really understood what we wanted. She added such a meaningful touch to our ceremony and made it feel like “us.” We also had the sweetest server, Kendra, who took such great care of us all night. She made sure our drinks were always full and that we had everything we needed. And oh my gosh — the food!! I can’t even begin to describe how good it was. We got so many compliments from our guests. Everything from the cocktail hour to the entrées was incredible. I had the filet mignon and my husband had the baked stuffed sole — both were to die for! Honestly, it was the best wedding food I’ve ever had. We also decided to have an after-party at Rock21, and it was the best decision! The food was delicious, the DJ kept everyone dancing, and our guests had an absolute blast. It was the perfect ending to the best day of our lives. From the very first meeting to the last dance, everything was perfect. The entire team at Haley Mansion put so much love, care, and attention into our day, and it truly showed. I can’t thank them enough for making our wedding day everything we’ve ever dreamed of and more.

We had an intimate 26 person wedding at Ocean House and it was perfect. Kara was a dream to work with - organized, flexible, and helpful every step of the way. The day of started misting and she quickly worked with us on an alternate covered location that was equally as beautiful. The food, service, views, experience, and more was flawless. The Ocean House will always be a special place for us - and we will return for years to come.

To say Emily and the team at GBC made our dreams come true is an understatement. From the moment we met, we were immediately impressed with her positive attitude, attention to detail, and organization. We fell in love with the venue initially, but now upon reflecting, it was the collective efforts of the staff of Galilee Beach Club that we will forever cherish and appreciate for the rest of our lives. Emily patiently listened and worked hard throughout the entire process, answering endless emails from me, while collaborating with Chris the general manager, Chef Rob, and the rest of her event staff to make all of our ideas come to life. Emily’s planning meetings along the way were focused, thorough, and super informative. She made time (even during her hectic season) for us, always. We trusted her completely with our vision and she knocked it out of the park. For me, I was in awe of her attention to the little things… the plate of hors douerves delivered to the bridal suite for us right after the ceremony, the signature drinks in our toasting flutes during dinner, the floating candles she suggested for the sweetheart table, right down to Emily locating our missing marriage license moments before the ceremony! She did it all with grace and ease. I could trust Emily and her team to set up all of the decor without an ounce of worry and on top of the beautiful set-up, Emily and her team packed up everything (and I mean everything!) into my car that night which truly was an unbelievable service. Chris, the General Manager, was our officiant and he was incredible. We had only met Chris a handful of times before we got married, but we felt as if he was one of our good friends. He knew exactly what we were looking for and we couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony. And the food! Everything was out of this world. Multiple guests claimed the short rib was the best they ever had. Chef Rob’s seared tuna steaks were prepared to perfection, even impressing a room full of tuna fisherman, which is certainly not an easy feat! The Galilee Beach Club was a warm, welcoming, highly professional, full service, simply spectacular place to get married. Our wedding surpassed our wildest dreams, which was undoubtedly the result of the hard work and long hours put in by Emily, Chris, Rob and the rest of the event staff at GBC. As two native Rhode Islanders and Galilee locals, we could not have had a more perfect setting for one of the most memorable days of our lives. We are forever grateful to have worked with such a remarkable team.

For dinner, we all were seated under a large, well-lit tent. The vendors we hired (DJ/photo booth, dance floor, bar service, and catering) made for a unique event that wow-ed our family and friends.

Saint Clements Castle provided a beautiful venue and kind staff for our wedding day. We especially appreciated our sales coordinator, Alyssa, who was professional, fast, and clear in her communication throughout the planning process. When rain forced us to move the ceremony indoors, the team quickly adapted the art gallery for us. The servers and bridal attendants were also attentive and went above and beyond to help finish set up when our florist left early. Our guests had incredibly kind things to say about the servers, and overall we had a great experience. It was also lovely to have a place that was a one stop shop for event planning! We did lose some decor in the shuffle which was an inconvenience, and some of the instructions for set up I left were not followed (our confetti got lost, only four guests got packets, the bridal suites did not have the supplies we left for them). My husband’s family were also really upset with one of the managers on property who wouldn’t allow them to walk in a covered area and was a bit rude about it, despite an event not happening and the rain being a torrential downpour causing unsafe conditions for his elderly family to walk in. Overall we had a great experience, and would recommend the castle to anyone planning a wedding!
