MUSEUM
The tree-top view restaurant or the glass-enclosed Gathering Space in the Mashantucket Pequot Museum makes for a spectacular starry backdrop come nightfall. If you’ re partial to an outdoor affair for the ceremony, the terrace allows guests to admire the cedar forest that the museum is nestled in. Whatever space you choose, the dedicated team is delighted to help host a rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception to remember. Mashantucket, CT, pequotmuseum. org / wedding

HISTORIC
The illustrious grand ballroom of Rhodes on the Pawtuxet fame can accommodate up to 600 guests( with room to dance!). The building itself, which was revitalized in 1915 after a tragic fire, still showcases many of its original features, including the hardwood floors, wraparound balconies and a stunning courtyard sculpture of the Greek Muse of Dance, Terpsichore.
