Awarded Best of Zola
Hotel Providence was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding venue. I loved moving from room to room, having a dance floor away from space for folks to have coffee and dessert, and to be able to walk upstairs at the end of the night. We could not have been more happy. There has been a recent change in events personnel, which led to some miscommunications and a few things not happening as expected. While nothing that altered any piece of our enjoyment, I would recommend couples who are more anxious or type A to hire a day/month of coordinator to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible. The staff at HP are five-star, and they handled every questions, concern, issue, and guest with grace and professionalism. I thought it was well-priced., and for us, having a venue that "does it all" was super important.

Just a Girl Events had the pleasure of working here for a small wedding. The venue is amazing! With 3 onsite areas that would be considered suites it is perfect to host your wedding party from the evening before to the day after. The studio space itself is beautiful with gabled ceilings and a beautiful floor with a brick inlay that is of the original design. The outdoor spacing can host a small area for cocktails with great ambiance or just a courtyard to hang out. The staff is great and it really is a hidden gem but one that creates an experience not just a night Charlene DeLuca

Myrtle is an exceptional wedding venue that we highly recommend. Their communication via email and telephone was responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. The large indoor space with ample seating, along with the beautiful outdoor patio, allowed us to easily transform the venue into the wedding of our dreams. One of the owners is an experienced interior designer and florist, and they contributed greatly by assisting with the setup of the food and decor. Myrtle also accommodated our music and guest scheduling needs. The value for such a stunning and versatile space is unbeatable. We are thrilled with how our special day turned out at Myrtle.
