The Graduate

If you're looking for a wedding venue that blends classic elegance with modern charm, The Graduate Providence—formerly the historic Biltmore Hotel—is the perfect choice. Originally opened in 1922, this venue, known as "The Crown Jewel" of Providence, has welcomed prestigious guests throughout its history. After a renovation in 2019, the hotel was rebranded as The Graduate, beautifully merging 1920s architecture with contemporary design, making it a standout choice for your Providence wedding.

The Graduate Providence offers two stunning ballrooms for your wedding celebration. The Biltmore Ballroom, located on the 17th floor, boasts 4,200 square feet of space, complete with two grand chandeliers, a large dance floor, and panoramic views of downtown Providence. This ballroom can accommodate up to 500 guests, making it perfect for large weddings. The Capital Ballroom, on the second floor, is slightly smaller at 3,500 square feet and holds up to 300 guests. With its classic look, it's adjacent to the Mayor Suite and Atrium balcony, offering an elegant setting for your reception. For couples seeking an outdoor element, the Parkview Terrace is ideal for ceremonies or cocktail hours, with beautiful views of the city.

Pricing for receptions at The Graduate Providence starts at $2,000 during off-peak seasons, making it an affordable option for a luxury venue. The package includes a professional wedding consultant, banquet staff and manager, gourmet cuisine prepared by an executive chef, a large dance floor, six hours of event space, and a complimentary suite for the couple. The venue also provides set-up with tables, chairs, linens, china, and glassware. For an additional $750, you can host your ceremony on-site.

For couples seeking an iconic Providence wedding venue, The Graduate Providence offers a perfect blend of history, grandeur, and modern sophistication, ensuring your big day is as unforgettable as the location itself.
