    Flexible, accommodating, and BEAUTIFUL!

    We hosted our wedding reception at Waterman Grille in September 2022, in the Riverview Room. It was the best! The ambiance, the food, the drinks, and the staff were the best we could have hoped for. They helped us plan our ideal evening and were flexible with how we wanted to handle our drink menu. We got so much good feedback from our guests about the delicious food! Staff were welcoming, polite, and so accommodating. We highly recommend Waterman Grille for events, including wedding receptions.

    Absolutely perfect!

    We had a small wedding of about 50 people and I am so glad I found Waterman Grille. I worked with Tina and Jessica and they were so responsive and easy to work with. We were in the Riverview room and had staff dedicated to the event and everyone was amazing. They even helped set up my decorations and take them down at the end of the night. There is a kitchen just for your event and everything is cooked to order. The food tasted amazing and came out hot. We received so many compliments!

    Beautiful Loft Room Wedding for a Small Party

    We had a small wedding of about 20 people, but still wanted to have an elegant, formal dinner to treat our guests to after our ceremony. We were bringing an Italian and Chinese family together, so good food was very important to us. We tried a few elegant fine dining establishments around Providence that had a good fit for the size of our party, but were not particularly impressed with the food. We tried the food at Waterman Grille and knew it would be perfect. The manager showed us the different rooms that they offered, and The Loft was exactly what we wanted--it is a perfect mix of elegant and cozy.
    I worked with Tina to organize the event, and she is incredibly friendly and responsive. She made sure that everything was taken care of without making me feel overwhelmed, and the whole experience was much less stressful than I was anticipating! They have different wedding packages that made it easy to make the initial decisions, and afterwards Tina helped us determine the best format for the dinner and was so great with helping us implement the ideas we had to add a personal touch to the dinner.
    The servers were so friendly and accommodating during the dinner and everyone was very impressed with the food. The dinner turned out perfectly and the pictures that everyone took were lovely because of the beautiful room. I would highly recommend this restaurant and The Loft room for any smaller wedding party or formal event!

    We had our rehearsal dinner in the room upstairs at Waterman Grille and was wonderful. The room is nice and the views are very pretty too. We had about 30 people, I wouldn't recommend any more people than that for the space. The staff was very friendly, and the food and drinks were great too!

    We hosted our rehearsal dinner at the Waterman Grille and had a wonderful experience. The location is great - we were able to get a banquet room overlooking the river (and we would have been outside on the patio if the weather had cooperated). Tina and Kim were so helpful throughout the planning process, particularly with creating a custom menu that suited all of our guests. Even when we had a couple of unexpected guests arrive and push us over our expected count, the staff were extremely professional and accommodating. The food itself was absolutely delicious and all our guests loved it. We recommend them highly!

    We loved the food and service at the Waterman Grille for our October wedding! It wasn't the cheapest out there, but I felt as though the high quality of the food and service made it exceptional. We were very pleased and all of our guests had a great time as well.

    My husband and I toured a variety of venues all across Rhode Island to host our daytime ceremony and reception. We toured Waterman Grille after having lunch in the restaurant and because of the beautiful location. We were sold after seeing the event space which is right above the water on a floor below the restaurant with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the water, stone floors, and neutral gray/white interior. The adjoining lounge had a completely different feel with dark brick details, leather seats, and a wall adorned with literary titles like "Papa Married a Mormon" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The event space has a separate catering kitchen from the kitchen for the restaurant and the food was prepared made to order on the day of the wedding. Each guest place included printed menu cards with our selections and orders were taken during the reception. Everyone complimented the food and multiple guests told us it was the best meal they had ever eaten at a wedding. The service throughout the wedding was wonderful and the event coordinators, Kim and Tina, were professional, knowledgable, and accessible throughout the planning and day of the wedding. If you are in search of an intimate (no more than 100 guests, maximum) location for your ceremony and/or reception with beautiful scenery and amazing food, Waterman Grille is a must see location.

    Everything about waterman grille was great! Kim worked well with us and made sure all of our guests dietary needs were met. The price of rental along with the view is what really sold us even though we have always loved the food. Our guests loved the location and we were fully taken care of that day. My only complaint was that at times it was a little difficult getting in touch with Kim but she did always get back to us with our questions answered!

    The Waterman Grille was a beautiful location on the Seekonk River on the East Side of Providence to have our wedding reception. The food was AMAZING and the service staff could not be beat. The Sales Manager we worked with was more than nice, and while she was not always in the office or available when we called, she was very good at responding to messages. The cost of meals was reasonable for the quality of the food, but the room rental, and gratuity added to even the room rental hikes up the cost (as it does everywhere). I can't say enough about the bartenders and servers at our function. So many of our guests commented on how kind, and what a great job their server did. There was a woman who seemed to be an event coordinator at my wedding, who I had never met, and was telling me what to do and when to do it. It would have been nice to meet her before the actual event. Overall though, we were pleased with the service and the entire reception. We still go to eat at the Waterman Grille, and would love to be guests at a wedding that takes place there.
