I recently had my wedding at The Loom, and I truly cannot express enough how incredible the entire experience was. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make everything seamless, beautiful, and truly unforgettable. As someone with absolutely no prior experience planning a wedding—and very little time to pull everything together—I was overwhelmed at the thought of how it would all come together. But the team at The Loom made the entire process so much easier than I ever imagined. From the moment I started planning, Mary was there every step of the way. She was kind, patient, and incredibly supportive, always making sure I felt comfortable and confident in each decision. Her warm and calming presence made a world of difference during such a hectic time. Mary really took the time to understand my vision and helped bring it to life with such grace and attention to detail. She’s was absolutely incredible! Bri was also wonderful,—together with Mary, they formed a dream team when it came to coordinating the venue, the guests, and all the logistics that come with hosting a wedding. They both handled the rehearsal ceremony and every little detail with such professionalism and care. It was clear they truly wanted everything to be perfect, and it was. The venue itself is beautiful. The Loom has such a beautiful aesthetic and an incredible ambiance that made the perfect backdrop for our day. My family commented on how beautiful the space was and how smoothly everything ran. Despite the short timeline and my complete lack of wedding knowledge, The Loom helped me pull off a day that was exactly what I had hoped for—intimate, joyful, and stress-free. I’m so grateful to Mary, Bri, and the entire team for making my wedding so special. If you’re considering The Loom for your event, don’t hesitate. They’re simply amazing.

The Spring House was an absolutely spectacular location for our wedding. We were married on the back lawn since it was high season, and then moved to the patio for our reception. Both have unobstructed views of the ocean. Once the ceremony was over, servers were at the ready with our speciality drinks. The cocktail hour food was incredible. Highly recommend the raw bar option, the oysters are shucked to order. Seated dinner was even better. Our guests cannot stop raving about the wedding and the food especially. Tanya, who is the coordinator, is a total gem. She was so patient, answering every single question. I hired a day of coordinator, but Tanya took care of every detail. She was so kind and pivoted easily to accommodate me when I realized that some of our more difficult guests didn't make the correct menu choices. We have been coming to Block Island for many years and we knew we wanted to be married there. The Spring House made everything truly special. Our wedding was perfection. Multiple guests have called to tell us that they felt that it was one of the best weddings they had been to.

From the moment we reached out to the Saphire Estate, their communication was quick and prompt. We went in to this tour thinking we were gunna book elsewhere but the cocktail hour space took our breath away! Anne (our coordinator) and all the staff that day never let a detail go, they were attentive without being overbearing. They handled the few issues we had quietly & efficiently. We had the very best day, & a lot of it had to do with the staff, they run a well oiled machine & handle things with grace & understanding. Anne, Jeannie & Judy made our day go off without a hitch!

We were married at The Haley Mansion on July 25, 2025, and it was truly the wedding of our dreams. From the moment we began planning, the entire staff made us feel supported, cared for, and completely at ease. Our onsite wedding planner, Catherine, was an absolute gem—so personable, always in great spirits, and incredibly responsive no matter the day or time. She truly felt like home to us throughout the entire process, and we couldn't imagine our day without her guidance and warmth. The venue itself is breathtaking. We held our ceremony under the tent and it was nothing short of stunning. The setting, the ambiance, the flow—every detail was seamless. Our guests are still raving about the food! The passed appetizers were a huge hit, especially the cheesesteak eggrolls, and the prime rib dinner was unforgettable. We also added a custom ice cream bar with brownies for dessert, and the chef didn’t hesitate to bring that idea to life. Everything was perfect. If you’re looking for a venue with true New England charm, The Haley Mansion is it. The convenience of having the Inn at Mystic just steps away made it feel like our own private compound for the weekend. We hosted our rehearsal dinner and after party right on the property at Rocks 21, which meant no one had to worry about driving or calling an Uber—everyone was able to relax and celebrate together. The love and care we felt from the team—Catherine, Sue, and Zach—was undeniable. Thank you for making us feel so at home. We truly couldn’t have asked for more. If you're considering The Haley Mansion, book it. You will not regret it!

Our daughter’s wedding reception was held at GrandView in April 2024. Our choice of this venue was one of the best decisions that we ever made! The food was wonderful – I received comments from guests that the food was hot when it arrived at their table. It was a “wow” moment when they opened the doors to the dining room – the room was stunning. Our guests were so impressed by the ladies room that they took pictures in there – I’ll leave it to you to visit the venue to find out why. Another popular place for our guests to take pictures was in front of the champagne wall. Erin, our coordinator, ensured that the event went flawlessly – she was such a pleasure to work with! GrandView staff even packed up our car for us at the end of the night. You will know exactly how much the event will cost you when you sign the contract because the wedding cake, provided by an Italian bakery, and the open bar are included in the price provided. To quote many of our guests, the reception was “phenomenal”.
