FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The library will be ready for our guests from 4:30pm onwards! The wedding ceremony will begin at 5:00pm.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The Providence Public Library is a beautiful venue, and we encourage you to have fun dressing up! We suggest that our guests wear formal attire. Here is what this means to us: floor-length gowns, elegant cocktail dresses, dark-colored suits, and even tuxedos if you already own one and enjoy a chance to wear it.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We are lucky to have so many loved ones with expanding families. We wish we could invite everyone! Due to size limitations, we are only able to include children with special roles in the wedding. We understand that arranging childcare can be challenging, so we are happy to include your little ones at our Welcome Party on Friday night at the Narraganset Brewery.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

We have set aside a limited hotel block at the Graduate by Hilton Providence, where we will be staying! Please see the Travel tab for booking instructions at this hotel. There are many hotels within walking distance of the venue, so guests have a range of options to consider.

Question

Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?

Answer

Yes! We are hosting a Welcome Party on Friday evening to get the party started and make the most of having all of you in town! After the wedding, we invite you to join us at the Reiners Bar and Game Room at the Graduate Hotel for an After Party. We have the list of events in the Schedule section of this website, and we request that you also go to the RSVP section to help us plan accurately.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotel to the ceremony?

Answer

Fortunately, all of the local hotels are within a quarter mile from the Providence Public Library, so we will not be providing transportation.

Question

Is there parking at the venue?

Answer

The Providence Public Library doesn't have it's own parking lot, but there are several parking lots and garages nearby, with the closest being LAZ Parking at 197 Fountain Street (entrance directly across from The Hilton hotel) and the Civic Center Garage at 165 Washington Street. There is also metered and unmetered street parking around the area.
