Yes! We have room blocks available at three hotels in downtown Providence: The Renaissance Providence Marriott Providence Graduate by Hilton If the room block is not working online, please call the hotel directly and ask to book within the Franks/Flaherty wedding block.
Ceremony: Guests may either drive to the ceremony and park for free directly behind the chapel or take an Uber/Lyft. The ceremony location is less than 10 minutes from the hotel block. Reception: Complimentary shuttle transportation will be provided from the Renaissance Providence Downtown Hotel to the reception venue in Bristol. Shuttles will begin departing at approximately 4:00 PM. The reception venue is about 30 minutes from downtown Providence. Guests who prefer to drive may also take advantage of complimentary parking at the reception venue. After Party: Transportation will be provided from the reception to the after party, as well as back to the Renaissance Providence Downtown Hotel for guests who choose not to attend the after party.
We kindly ask that all guests RSVP for all events by August 19, 2026.
You really can’t go wrong with any restaurant on Federal Hill, Providence’s famous Italian district. Some of our personal favorites are: Cassarino’s Massimo Andino’s Camille’s Constantino’s For breakfast or brunch, we recommend: Amy’s Brickway on Wickenden Classic Café If you’re looking for quick and casual options, there are plenty of great grab-and-go spots along Thayer Street.
You'll have approximately one hour between the end of the ceremony (around 3:00 PM) and the departure of the reception shuttles (around 4:00 PM). We recommend heading back to the hotel to relax, enjoy a drink, and get ready for a fun evening ahead!
