We cannot recommend Hotel Providence enough. Due to the pandemic and issues with our previous venue, we switched to the hotel with only 3 months to plan. Kate and her team went above and beyond for us - from planning to the actual day, they were there every step of the way. They made a very stressful time easy. In addition to this, the venue itself is beautiful and the food was delicious (received many compliments on this). And how easy for our guests to be in and stay in one place?! We already miss this day and the team. If you’re looking for a place - whether for a micro wedding now or sometime in the future, you won’t have regrets choosing Hotel Providence.

About wedding venues in Providence, RI

Providence gives you access to architectural treasures and stunning waterfront views for your wedding day. The city beautifully combines New England character with memorable settings; from the historic cobblestone streets winding through College Hill to the revitalized Waterplace Park where Venetian-inspired bridges and a scenic riverwalk create perfect backdrops for your wedding photos.

How Much Does a Providence Wedding Typically Cost?

Wedding celebrations in Providence come at different price points depending on your guest count. A small ceremony with 50 guests runs about $22,292 while a medium-sized wedding with 150 guests costs around $49,622. Larger celebrations with 300 guests typically reach $85,132. Most couples spend between $7,000-$8,600 on their venue alone which aligns pretty well with the national average of $6,500-$12,000 or about 25% of your total wedding budget.
