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 offers 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 staff 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 Will iams Park and the scenic Gaspee area, which
boasts ocean views and many Revolutionary Era buildings.
Are you a one-stop shop? The venue offers 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 offering 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 offer a full-service bar complete with a
skilled bartending staff.
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.
