Aldrich House

The Aldrich House was a wonderful venue for both my wedding ceremony and reception. Beautiful grounds, interesting interior with historic charm. My guests loved it! Renata was great to work with and so helpful. I would highly recommend this venue!

The Aldrich House was THE PERFECT reception venue for us. We found it after a bad experience with another wedding venue. From the beginning, Renata was very easy to work with, which helped turn wedding planning from a stressful to an enjoyable experience. Renata is always available to answer any questions or issues, no matter how small. She responds to emails very, very quickly...even when she is on vacation! Renata also encouraged me to join the Rhode Island Historical Society for a nominal fee, so I could receive a significant discount on the rental fee at the Aldrich House (not to mention discounts at other historical society venues, such as the Newport Cliff Walk and many museums throughout Rhode Island). Despite such a great deal, the Aldrich House had very few rules and basically let us do whatever we wanted with the space, including installing a custom outdoor parque floor in the backyard for our tent. We were also able to choose any vendor we wanted to work with as there was no restrictive "preferred vendors" list. Renata was very kind, flexible and accommodating to all of my vendors, and God knows I threw enough at her! In addition, the Aldrich House is a gorgeous historical mansion, impeccably and beautifully decorated and landscaped by Renata and the rest of the staff. It is every bit as comparable as the mansions in Newport, for a fraction of the price. My 140 guests were so impressed by not only the setting, but by what I was able to do at the house. The day of the wedding, the Aldrich House provided a staff of 3-4 to make sure everything went off without a hitch. The day was perfect and wonderful in every way possible thanks to everyone at the Aldrich House.

Get married at the Aldrich house if you can. It's beautiful, convenient, easy, inexpensive. Did I say beautiful? I meant inside and outside the house. It would be hard to have a lawn any more expansive without actually loosing wedding guests. There's an enormous, airy dining room, a salon for a bar and cocktails, a great kitchen with lots of vases, a place to change upstairs, a balcony to put the band on, and most importantly of all, an enormously caring, flexible and helpful staff. We gave the Aldrich house 2 weeks notice, almost doubled the number of guests, had more than one musician show up, started late (of course), had a mob of people who needed to change into complex costumes. You name it, it happened-but the staff was calm and collected and everything went off without a hitch. Well, there was ONE hitch... :)

Renata and Ronnie at te ALdrich House were wonderful. We had a wonderful day and everything went smoothly.

Our September wedding was perfect. Our guests loved the Aldrich House, inside and out! The yard was in full bloom, the grass was healthy and green. The inside of the house leaves so many options to personalize your party. There are interesting places for guests to mingle and fantasize about a bygone era. It is historical and elegant with just the right amount of formality. The staff was always professional, returning all calls immediately. Renata could not have done enough to make my husband happy with his demands! The service was individualized, thorough, and efficient. We had a wonderful time, our guests had a wonderful time and we were completely satisfied with The Aldrich House!

The Aldrich House was a great value for our money! The staff was wonderful. We had a difficult time scheduling a time for my parents to see the venue because the staff was not always at the site.

Dear Reviewers,I was completely pleased by the services and location afforded by the Aldrich House in Providence, RI. Renata was very responsive to my families' needs. They allowed us several research trips, and accommodated every request that we had. I would recommend this location to anyone. Sincerely, Jeff Krueger
