Providence
Formerly the Providence Biltmore
WHAT SETS YOUR VENUE APART? With recent renovations to the hotel, we offer many
event spaces in the hotel that appeal to different styles of weddings. We offer two spectacular
ballrooms, Capital Ballroom and Biltmore Ballroom. Our Biltmore Ballroom offers great views
of the city from the seventeenth floor of the hotel. We also feature an outdoor terrace and a
unique space, the Summit, with a wall of windows overlooking the city on the eighteenth floor
for events under 100 guests. Our ideal location in downcity Providence makes it easy for guests
to visit the Creative Capital. We offer exclusive rates to friends and family traveling for a wedding
with a reception booked at the hotel. Our delicious cuisine is prepared by our catering team and
is served by our attentive banquet staff who all have many years of tenure at the hotel.
WHERE ARE THE BEST PHOTO OPS ON YOUR PROPERTY? The magnificent lobby with
our grand staircase is a spot all couples plan to take photos in. Additionally, our outdoor
terrace and indoor balcony are very special, and couples also find it very convenient to
have the Biltmore Park directly across the street from the hotel.
IS YOUR VENUE A ONE-STOP SHOP? We offer ceremonies, cocktail hours and dinner
receptions in one location along with guest rooms. We can also accommodate rehearsals,
rehearsal dinners, welcome receptions and post-wedding breakfasts.
DO YOU HAVE AN ON-SITE COORDINATOR? Elise S. Shatraw is our senior catering sales
manager and a Certified Wedding Venue Professional. She has been with our hotel for
more than seventeen years and has assisted hundreds of couples in planning for their
wedding days. Elise enjoys being your point of contact at the hotel from your first tour
through your wedding day. Her calm demeanor, attention to detail and quick responses
to couples’ needs and questions assists brides and grooms in creating a truly special
wedding day. She believes love is love and enjoys working with all couples.
DO YOU OFFER ANY SPECIALS OR DISCOUNTS? We offer a special Winter Package
in January, February and March, and we extend special package pricing for weddings
planned on Fridays or Sundays throughout the year.

“My wedding day was everything I could have asked for! And Graduate
Providence made that happen. Elise was wonderful to work with and made

ballroom, everything was perfect. I could not stop smiling!” — Erica W.
