Mr and Mrs Rizzo at Meadow Brook Inn were very easy to talk to throughout the planning process. The gorgeous grounds, both inside and out, created the perfect backdrop for our special day. The staff took such good care of us and catered to my elderly grandparents, making sure their needs were met. When I walked in and saw the amazing dining room, I started to cry - it was truly magical. Our special day couldn't have been any better, as the Meadow Brook Inn team took care of reviewing every detail of our wants and needs. I strongly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a magical wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
We discovered this venue through Zola and fell in love with it immediately from the very first look online. Right away, we knew it felt like the perfect place for our wedding day! We scheduled a tour on January 29, 2023, and brought our parents along because we wanted to see if they liked it as much as we did. Seeing the venue in person, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding. Moira showed us every detail of the property, including the Barn and the Winthrop Room (the two reception spaces), the Alpheus Room (indoor ceremony space), the patio, and the beautiful lawn where we could take family, wedding party, and bride-and-groom photos. By the end of the tour, we knew this was the one, and we officially booked our wedding for October 26, 2024. Throughout the planning process, the venue staff’s professionalism and experience stood out. Moira was able to answer any and all questions we had about any aspect of the wedding from the dimensions of the arbor in the Alpheus room to special meal accommodations for a guest. Also, we initially planned our ceremony for 5 PM but realized that with our late-October date, we wouldn’t have enough daylight for formal photos after the ceremony. We talked to Moira, and we were able to adjust the timeline, pushing the ceremony earlier so we could capture outdoor photos before sunset. On the big day, everything exceeded our expectations! The food was a highlight, with our guests raving about all of the food, which included filet of beef, grilled salmon, vegetable lasagna, and chicken tenders for all the kids (or kids at heart). The venue also ensured that we had some food to eat during the photo session during cocktail hour to make sure that we were happy and not hangry while taking pictures! Because of the earlier ceremony time, we were able to utilize the gazebo on the property for some formal photos and a first look with Kayla and her dad before the ceremony. During the cocktail hour, we took the remaining photos out on the lawn with the stunning fall colors as a backdrop. Overall, The Barn at Wight Farm supported us in every way and did everything necessary to give us the wedding of our dreams. We can’t recommend it more!

Venue considerations

  • Couple must handle cleanup and setup
Picking the wedding venue is the first big step in planning the big day, after seeing the venue at Bittersweet Farm and meeting with our to be coordinator, it was a quick and easy decision to book them as a venue. We had a Fall wedding and we were fortunate to have great weather to hold the ceremony outside which is beautiful, however this venue having a 'Plan B' for the ceremony to be held inside in case of bad weather was a key selling point. Our wedding coordinator Alexis was amazing, communication was great and the day of she was so organized on directing us for the ceremony and reception. The food is also a huge highlight, all our guests kept praising how good the food was. Needless to say this was the best venue we could have picked, also we strongly feel you get your money's worth and Bittersweet gives you a very well valued package that isn't no where near where other overly priced venues are charging.

Our wedding in October 2024 at the Shelter Harbor Inn was absolutely perfect! The grounds and inn are so beautiful and eclectic, which is exactly what we were looking for. Teresa was incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with throughout the planning process, ensuring everything went smoothly. She and Erin were amazing on the day of, providing support and guidance that made us feel so at ease. We were able to be creative, which made the day feel uniquely ours. We had several wedding guests staying at the inn, and everyone loved it! The staff was exceptionally kind, especially to some guests who had taken the Amtrak and found themselves without Ubers.

Awarded Best of Zola
To say Emily and the team at GBC made our dreams come true is an understatement. From the moment we met, we were immediately impressed with her positive attitude, attention to detail, and organization. We fell in love with the venue initially, but now upon reflecting, it was the collective efforts of the staff of Galilee Beach Club that we will forever cherish and appreciate for the rest of our lives. Emily patiently listened and worked hard throughout the entire process, answering endless emails from me, while collaborating with Chris the general manager, Chef Rob, and the rest of her event staff to make all of our ideas come to life. Emily’s planning meetings along the way were focused, thorough, and super informative. She made time (even during her hectic season) for us, always. We trusted her completely with our vision and she knocked it out of the park. For me, I was in awe of her attention to the little things… the plate of hors douerves delivered to the bridal suite for us right after the ceremony, the signature drinks in our toasting flutes during dinner, the floating candles she suggested for the sweetheart table, right down to Emily locating our missing marriage license moments before the ceremony! She did it all with grace and ease. I could trust Emily and her team to set up all of the decor without an ounce of worry and on top of the beautiful set-up, Emily and her team packed up everything (and I mean everything!) into my car that night which truly was an unbelievable service. Chris, the General Manager, was our officiant and he was incredible. We had only met Chris a handful of times before we got married, but we felt as if he was one of our good friends. He knew exactly what we were looking for and we couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony. And the food! Everything was out of this world. Multiple guests claimed the short rib was the best they ever had. Chef Rob’s seared tuna steaks were prepared to perfection, even impressing a room full of tuna fisherman, which is certainly not an easy feat! The Galilee Beach Club was a warm, welcoming, highly professional, full service, simply spectacular place to get married. Our wedding surpassed our wildest dreams, which was undoubtedly the result of the hard work and long hours put in by Emily, Chris, Rob and the rest of the event staff at GBC. As two native Rhode Islanders and Galilee locals, we could not have had a more perfect setting for one of the most memorable days of our lives. We are forever grateful to have worked with such a remarkable team.
