Wedding Weekend Ideas

 > The Art of Love: Romance and Culture Downtown

Known for its up-and-coming arts scene, the Downtown area hosts an on-going array of shows, galleries, and shopping for the truly cosmopolitan couple. Treat your guests to an afternoon at the historic Providence Art Club or take in a matinee while visiting the eclectic theater district. Home to many of the city's top hotel accommodations and reception sites, and just minutes from the breathtaking riverwalk, Downcity provides the perfect mix of beauty and function as you say "I do!"

> Bella Italia: A Feast of Fancy on Federal Hill

Located within a ten-minute walk west of the city center, Providence's "Federal Hill" is a little taste of Italy right here in New England! Walk along Atwells Avenue and sample some of the city's best cuisine. Boasting over 40 restaurants, bakeries, and markets, you'll discover a wide selection of catering services and dining spots to meet your needs. Relax by the fountain at LaSalle Square or take part in a guided tour of the Hill's best-kept culinary secrets. On Federal Hill, you get a taste of something special.

> Love is in the Details: 
   The Architecture and History of the East Side

Nestled just over the Providence River, the "East Side" is a short walk from Downcity and miles away from modern. Perfect for the more traditional couple, the city's historic district features everything from stunning colonial-era architecture and cozy B&Bs to funky antiques. Benefit Street's "Mile of History" is a must-see for any visitor; just hop a trolley or rent a horse-drawn carriage. The East Side is the perfect "something old; something new" that you and your guests may be looking for!
