When Samantha first reached out to me to help her find her perfect wedding venue, she was almost TOO flexible. She was open to anywhere in New England and wanted an outdoor location. The possibilities are actually endless so it becomes my job to work on narrowing it down.

Do you like historic venues? yes

Seaside/Coastal vibes? sure

Gardens and Arboretums? sounds nice

Gilded Age Mansion? that could work.

How about all of the above? Now you’re talking.

I’ve been DYING to do a wedding at Blithewold ever since I attended a wedding as a guest here almost 15 years ago. I’ve done Newport Mansion events for years, but this hidden gem in Bristol, RI is truly one of a kind. You get the best of EVERYTHING- Newport mansion vibes, water views, amazing landscape and views, and sunsets that will make your jaw drop. Add in a gorgeous on-property tent and fabulous catering from Blackstone and you really knock the other contenders out of the water. I was PSYCHED when Sam & Matt took my word to go check it out and agreed on the spot that it was the perfect location.

This day was perfection. The couple got ready at The Graduate in Providence and then celebrated with a waterside ceremony on the bay, a gorgeous outdoor cocktail hour, and dinner and dancing under the tent. It was a dream team of vendors, a dream forecast and a dream couple. Sam & Matt- congratulations- and thank you for trusting me to help make this dream of a wedding a reality!
