What sets your venue apart?
With recent renovations to the hotel, we offer many event spaces in the hotel that appeal to different styles of weddings. We offer two spectacular ballrooms, Capital Ballroom and Biltmore Ballroom. Our Biltmore Ballroom offers great views of the city from the seventeenth floor of the hotel. We also feature an outdoor terrace and a unique space, the Summit, with a wall of windows overlooking the city on the eighteenth floor for events under 100 guests. Our ideal location in downcity Providence makes it easy for guests to visit the Creative Capital. We offer exclusive rates to friends and family traveling for a wedding with a reception booked at the hotel. Our delicious cuisine is prepared by our catering team and is served by our attentive banquet staff who all have many years of tenure at the hotel.
Where are the best photo ops on your property?
The magnificent lobby with our grand staircase is a spot all couples plan to take photos in. Additionally, our outdoor terrace and indoor balcony are very special, and couples also find it very convenient to have the Biltmore Park directly across the street from the hotel.
Is your venue a one-stop shop?
We offer ceremonies, cocktail hours and dinner receptions in one location along with guest rooms. We can also accommodate rehearsals, rehearsal dinners, welcome receptions and post-wedding breakfasts.
“My wedding day was everything I could have asked for! And Graduate Providence made that happen. Elise was wonderful to work with and made life much easier. From the food to the staff to the presentation of the grand ballroom, everything was perfect. I could not stop smiling!”
