Perfect from start to finish

Our experience was fantastic and above all expectations - from the moment we stepped into the hotel (in 2021!) until we left the morning after the wedding. The venue is beautiful, the service is impeccable, and the quality is excellent. We had a large ballroom wedding, a welcome reception, a breakfast, almost 100 hotel rooms, and used many additional hotel services while there. Everyone we encountered was top-notch. All this was under the general supervision of Elise whose expertise, responsiveness, and general demeanor allowed things to go as smoothly as possible - and made for a truly wonderful experience from start to finish!

The Graduate Providence

The Graduate Providence was the most amazing wedding venue! From the staff, food, accommodations, and overall experience, my husband and I could not be happier we chose them for our wedding day. Throughout the planning process, our wedding coordinator was always available and responsive and wanted the absolute best for our day. Especially on our wedding day, she was there making sure everything went smoothly and perfectly. I could not recommend the Graduate Providence enough! We are so grateful.

Winter wedding

We had the most beautiful, romantic, well-organized wedding at The Graduate. Everything was timed beautifully to maximize dancing. There was never a wait at the bar (even with 200+ guests). Food was fantastic- especially the desert they provide. Highly recommend!!!

WE LOVE THE BILTMORE! Our band had two weddings there last season, and hope to do more! A wonderful venue for weddings--very organized, great food, great service... All-around a great choice for any event--the best choice for a Providence wedding! A shout out to Elise, the organizer, who has been great to work with... Bravo! See you soon.
