WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE? What sets Newport Vineyards apart from other venues is
its location. It is away from downtown Newport but close enough that guests are able to
experience both the nautical and vineyard aspects of what Aquidneck Island has to o�er.
Our vineyard and rustic settings can’t be found anywhere else in Newport.
DOES NEWPORT VINEYARDS LEND ITSELF WELL TO ANY PARTICULAR THEMES?
As we like to say to our guests when they enter our Meadow Room, Newport Vineyards has
a “rustic romantic” feel, a look which lends itself to many options for brides and grooms to
decorate as they see fit. In addition to the cherry-wood chairs we supply and numerous bar-
rels for high tops, we have had brides and grooms rent wooden sweetheart tables and farm
tables. We have seen couples do it all for their special day!
WHERE ARE THE BEST PHOTO OPS ON YOUR PROPERTY? There are countless! One of
the best features of our venue is that it o�ers so many options. We allow pictures in our barrel
and tank room which are illuminated beautifully in the evening. The barrel room adds to the
rustic side of our venue, while the tank room fits more of an industrial look. But the most suit-
ing and beautiful pictures can be taken in our vineyard. With more than sixty acres of vines at
your disposal, you’re guaranteed a dynamic and gorgeous backdrop 365 days a year. In addi-
tion to the vines, we have a lovely walking trail next to the vineyard. Full of luscious green and
pure natural beauty, this area creates a natural setting for your photos. From our industrial
tank and rustic barrel room to fruitful vines and luscious greens, there are endless possibilities
for your wedding day portraits.ARE YOU A ONE-STOP SHOP? We are! We host ceremonies, cocktail hours and recep-
tions and cater it all in-house. With each site all within a few short steps of each other,
you and your guests are able to experience all aspects of the vineyard throughout your
wedding day. First, the ceremony will be held out in our sprawling meadow where the
surrounding vines create a breathtaking backdrop. Following your vows, guests can walk
right over to our vineyard porch for cocktail hour. Illuminated with market lights and fea-
turing music, a bar and appetizers, this is the perfect location for a social hour. After the
cocktail hour, we open up the Meadow Room for the reception. This is when your guests
will truly experience that authentic “rustic romantic” feel. Complete with a spacious dance
floor and room for a band or DJ as well as dining tables, your guests are guaranteed an
amazing night!

We at Massimo are proud to offer a premier private event space in Providence! Offering a seasonal menu inspired by the regional cuisines
of Italy, our signature dishes include Fettuccine alla Carbonara with guanciale and a farm fresh egg, a fig and Gorgonzola pizzette, and a
house-aged rib-eye “Fiorentina.”
Located at the gateway to Federal Hill, Massimo is classically designed to create a warm and lively setting, featuring dark woods and
bright pops of yellow. Our spacious dining room has giant sliding glass doors that lend an al fresco feel to the entire first floor. Upstairs,
the glass-enclosed private dining room — including a full bar and lounge — make it the perfect place for events of all scopes and sizes,
whether it’s an intimate occasion with friends and family or a boisterous celebration with seating for up to 125 guests.
Massimo has unique wines from small boutique Italian winemakers (not available anywhere else!) and a cellar selection from Italy, Spain
and California. Our approach to wine is accessibility, quality and variety to encourage unfettered enjoyment. Our bar features beers on
tap, cocktails and a large selection of classic Italian amari, grappa and many other Italian liqueurs.
We have created several party menu options (see next page for a taste), but we are also happy to help you create a unique menu that fits
your event. Whether it’s a casual cocktail reception or a decadent wine dinner, we will help you to truly impress your guests.

WHAT MAKES QUIDNESSETT COUNTRY CLUB A UNIQUE VENUE SPACE FOR A WEDDING?
Just twenty minutes from downtown Providence, Quidnessett Country Club is located right
on the banks of Narragansett Bay, o�ering spectacular views from our reception rooms.
With magnificent banquet rooms, superb food, uncompromising service and attention to
detail, we like to say that Quidnessett provides a visual feast for the senses. Our beautifully
landscaped property allows for a variety of unique photo opportunities, but our most
popular location is in the back of the clubhouse overlooking the water. Aside from our
reasonable food minimum requirements, we do not have room rental fees, bartender fees or
cake cutting fees.
DOES QUIDNESSETT LEND ITSELF WELL TO ANY PARTICULAR THEMES? Our elegant
reception rooms each act as a blank canvas that can be transformed to suit just about any
theme or color palette. Couples are not only welcome but encouraged to enhance their
reception room with their personal style and decor.
DO I HAVE TO BE A MEMBER TO HAVE MY WEDDING HERE? No, you do not have to be a
member to have your wedding here. We encourage any and all couples to take advantage of
our exceptional services.
ARE YOU A ONE-STOP SHOP? Yes, we can host your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception
all on our property.
WHEN’S YOUR BUSIEST SEASON? HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD COUPLES BE LOOKING TO
BOOK? Our busiest season is always May through October. We recommend couples book as
early as possible; we can book as far as two years in advance.
WHAT IS YOUR CATERING SITUATION? We provide our own catering and couples are able to
create their own menus that work within their budget and our food minimum requirements.
We have many popular menu items that couples can preview at our tastings; we host two group
food tastings during the year for couples who have already booked their weddings with us.
WHAT’S YOUR PRICING LIKE? We have food minimum requirements that vary depending on
the time of year, day of the week and the reception room that the couple decides to use.
WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST FACTORS COUPLES SHOULD KEEP IN MIND WHILE VENUE
SEARCHING? It is always important for couples to determine their guest count and budget
before scheduling a tour. Without a solid grasp on these basic logistical details, couples really
can’t move forward in the search for the perfect venue.

�Imperia� R�m•AT ONE RHODES PLACE
The Imperial Room is a beautiful full-service banquet venue featuring outstanding on-premise catering,
elegant decor, complimentary event planning, plentiful free off-street parking and fully handicap-accessible
facilities. The Imperial Room is available year-round for all types of special events.
DOES THE IMPERIAL ROOM LEND ITSELF WELL TO ANY PARTICULAR THEMES? The Imperial
Room features elegant decor that lends itself to all types of themes and decorating
schemes. Some of the many themes that we have had the pleasure of hosting over the
years include nautical, Old Hollywood, Roaring Twenties, rustic, winter wonderland, “Alice in
Wonderland” and more.CAN YOU PROVIDE DECOR OR IS YOUR SPACE MORE OF A BLANK CANVAS FOR COUPLES TO
DECORATE THEMSELVES? The Imperial Room o�ers many inexpensive decorating options,
such as in-house centerpieces, chair covers and other items to supplement a client’s
decorations (including mirrors, candles, charger plates, etc.). In addition, our clients may
deliver all non-perishable items the day before the event and the Imperial Room sta� will set
up all of the decorations, usually at no additional charge (though some limitations do apply).
WHERE ARE THE BEST PHOTO OPS ON YOUR PROPERTY? The Imperial Room has a small
landscaped gazebo space that is available for photographs, as well as a beautiful lobby
area. Additionally, the building is centrally located in the historic Edgewood/Pawtuxet area
of Cranston in close proximity to Roger Williams Park and the scenic Gaspee area, which
boasts ocean views and many Revolutionary Era buildings.
ARE YOU A ONE-STOP SHOP? The venue o�ers two adjoining rooms for weddings — our
nicely appointed lounge area is perfect for informal wedding ceremonies and/or cocktail
hours, while the Imperial Room is an elegant room best suited for dinner and dancing.
WHAT’S YOUR CAPACITY? Though capacities may vary based on the seating and
entertainment setup, generally the maximum is 200 guests without a dance floor. But, if
you want to dance the night away, we cap out at around 180 guests. Theatre-style seating
is also available. WHAT’S YOUR CATERING SITUATION? All catering is done in-house under the direction of
our executive chef, Christopher Kurtzo. He has earned degrees in culinary arts and food
and beverage management from Johnson and Wales University and is familiar with the
many nuances of traditional American cuisine. In addition to o�ering a large selection
of menus, including stationary and passed hors d’oeuvres, buffet, plated, stations and
family-style dinners, the Imperial Room is able to accommodate most special dietary
requests, including vegan and gluten-free. We also o�er a full-service bar complete with a
skilled bartending sta�. WHAT OTHER PERKS DO YOU OFFER? Our room rental fee also includes the use of a six-foot
diagonal projector screen and a microphone/podium (lectern) which is perfect for playing
sentimental slideshows and videos during your reception or for complementing a Best
Man’s/Maid of Honor’s toast.
