Publick House Historic Inn

  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $28
  • Offer

NEW SPECIAL FOR 2024 WEDDING PACKAGES All Remaining Friday Evenings, Saturday Daytimes, & Sundays Site Fees Reduced to $2,000 & $40.00 Per Person Package Pricing! Whether you’re envisioning a traditional ceremony & reception, or a small private wedding celebration, Publick House provides the perfect romantic setting. You will be sharing one of the most important moments of your life with family and friends in an intimate and beautiful country setting. Unique and treasured memories will be created that hearts will remember for a lifetime. The Publick House is a full-service New England destination wedding venue, making it the perfect weekend retreat for your guests. From welcome gatherings and rehearsal dinners, to post-wedding celebrations and breakfast farewells, your guests will relish in the warmth of our history and Yankee hospitality.

We knew from the moment we drove into the parking lot that this was going to be our venue! We had an appointment with Cathy O'Brien (we still keep in touch with her to this day) and were floored with her honesty, advice, excitement, and recommendations that we signed a contract that day. Our wedding and reception were held in Paige Hall in January of 2023 and it was stunning. The staff went above and beyond, and we can honestly say that the entire event went smoothly. The food was amazing and the portions are bigger than we could have expected--not a single guest needed to do a late night Wendy's run as this was not the typical wedding food that we are used to getting at other places. From the event coordinator to the service staff, everyone was incredibly kind and professional. The property itself is comfortable, there is plenty to do on-site as well as in the area, and we recommend opting for renting The Cottage for a post wedding hangout--it is a great spot for those that want to continue spending time together after the reception is over. We have been back to the Publick House more than a few times since the wedding, as we live close enough to do so. Often we will go for dinner, but the wedding package includes a 1yr Anniversary dinner and they will even make you your wedding cake again--and that dinner was delicious. We have felt welcomed each time we have gone back and will probably make our way there this weekend as writing this has brought back a lot of happy memories. We highly recommend this venue and we hope our feedback has been helpful to anyone who is looking into the Publick House.

The Harding Allen Estate provided the perfect venue for our wedding day. As a small business, their communication was consistently prompt, genuine, and enthusiastic throughout the planning process. We toured the property three times before booking our date, but the 1920s architecture and beautiful gardens captured our hearts on the first visit. The incredible, unique estate contributed an unforgettable backdrop on our special day that wowed our guests. Friends flew in from across the country and couldn't imagine a more perfect venue. The quality and attention to detail of their work, combined with the fair value, left us thrilled that we booked Harding Allen. I received so many compliments and would enthusiastically recommend any couple consider them for their big day!

The Century Ballroom at the Bristol Event Center is a dream come true for couples who love to dance.

The elegant design and ample space allow for a variety of wedding styles, from classic to contemporary. With top-notch service and a dedicated staff, the Century Ballroom ensures that every wedding is a unique and joyous occasion, filled with lasting memories.

Would like to give Bristol Event Center another applause, from the architecture, the food, down to the staffs, and very special shout-out to Sarah J., for helping us create our dream wedding! I love the fact that Sarah made it so easy to approach her with anything we need. It’s not easy planning a wedding all the way from California, but she helped made it happen. I remember visiting BEC when it was still being built, having to tour with hard hats and everything was all framework and foundation. Sarah went over with us how BEC became established and also showed my wife and I how it’s going to look and we just decided to take that leap of faith and go with them due to how we were able to connect! When we came to check it out when we were visiting town, we were speechless on how beautiful everything was. My cousins and my wedding coordinator did the taste testing for us and they said BEC gave them an experience they never experienced before. If you’re booking a venue to please your crowd, your crowd will definitely have a positive experience they will remember for a very long time. I’ve been to numerous weddings myself and this venue definitely captured my eyes and my stomach (food is amazing). THANK YOU SARAH, RICH, JULIA, STEVE, JEFFREY, AND THE WHOLE TEAM, YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!! - Kristine & Do

Awarded Best of Zola
Hotel Providence was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding venue. I loved moving from room to room, having a dance floor away from space for folks to have coffee and dessert, and to be able to walk upstairs at the end of the night. We could not have been more happy. There has been a recent change in events personnel, which led to some miscommunications and a few things not happening as expected. While nothing that altered any piece of our enjoyment, I would recommend couples who are more anxious or type A to hire a day/month of coordinator to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible. The staff at HP are five-star, and they handled every questions, concern, issue, and guest with grace and professionalism. I thought it was well-priced., and for us, having a venue that "does it all" was super important.
