We had our wedding at The Pavilion at Grace and it was perfect! The venue is a gorgeous mix of a historic sanctuary and a modern event space. The sanctuary made our ceremony feel so special, and the event space was great for the reception.
Vivian was amazing to work with. She answered all our questions and made everything so easy. Our guests loved hanging out there and couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was.
If you're looking for a stunning and versatile wedding venue, Grace Pavilion is the place! Big thanks to Vivian for all her help!

The Pavilion is Gorgeous-honestly the room speaks for itself. You don't need a lot to decorate this space because the details of the wood and the large windows really open it up. The church (next to the Pavilion if you book with a ceremony) is also gorgeous with the stone pillars! Very professional-book them :)

Grace Church is a stunning venue. From the moment we booked, the team was friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout the planning process. The space itself is breathtaking, and i...
f I could choose my ceremony location all over again, I would still choose Grace. That is how beautiful and meaningful it was to us.
The coordinator was a bit rude and tense at the rehearsal, but I assumed she was just stressed and I did not hold that against them. What I cannot overlook, though, is that no one could hear our ceremony. We spent so much time crafting a deeply personal service, our vows, our readings, every detail, and we were very intentional about making sure the audio worked during the rehearsal. We were reassured repeatedly that everything would be fine. But the moment we were standing there, I realized our officiant’s mic was not on, and the handheld mic was not working. I almost stopped the ceremony, but as the bride in front of everyone, I froze.
The coordinators onsite clearly dropped the ball. The audio was not tested or charged properly, and something as important as that should never be left to chance. The worst part was hearing at the reception, over and over: “It was beautiful… but we could not hear a word.” My husband works in production, and we almost brought our own equipment. We were kicking ourselves for trusting that it would be handled.
So my biggest recommendation if you choose Grace: it is gorgeous, no question. But bring your own sound equipment or assign someone you trust to mic duty. Do not assume they have it covered, even if they say they do.
Outside of the audio failure, it truly was an incredible venue and a beautiful wedding. But that one mistake still hurts to think about, and it is the only reason I cannot give a higher rating

lives at the Pavilion at Grace all thanks to the amazing staff there. We had been looking at venues in Rhode Island, and the Pavilion at Grace stood out for us because of how unique it was in style, how convenient it was for our guests (no traveling needed once you are there &handicap accessible), and how dedicated the staff were to ensuring we had the most amazing day the second we walked in for a tour. By having our wedding here, we were able to save on decorations because we really didn't need any at all, as well as transportation because we didn't need that either. We also are so grateful to have had Chris, the Grace Church parish administrator, assisting us with everything wedding. He took over the roll of wedding coordinator for us, and provided us with the best recommendations for all vendors. As a bride with anxiety, I can honestly say I was never stressed because Chris was always there to answer a question and/or solve a problem quickly. He really was amazing! We also had our ceremony at Grace Church, which was absolutely perfect. Reverend Can. Jonathan did our ceremony, and we enjoyed getting to know him as well. He is a wonderful man who is accepting of everyone. I am religious and my husband is not, so we had some differences on where we would get married. After attending mass and listening to one of the sermons, my husband and I both agreed Reverend Jonathan would be the one to marry us. Finally, a family friend actually was our cantor and her friend was the organist for the ceremony. They both perform at multiple weddings and various locations, and told myself and my family that they have never worked with such a welcoming, kind, and flexible staff! Everything was just perfect. If I could do it all over again, I truly would!! Thank you Grace Church staff for everything!

reate such a gorgeous wedding, and we were honored to have a part in creating memories to last a lifetime.
It brings me joy to try to help couples keep their wedding planning fun and easy, and to hear that this was your experience further inspires the effort we give.
I hope Grace will always hold a special place in your hearts, and that you will always feel a strong sense of welcome and belonging here.

eautiful on it's own, but when everything was dressed up for my wedding, it felt magical. The staff, including Chris, Cory, and Pedro, were very accommodating and you can tell they truly are invested in throwing great events. This venue is also located in a fantastic area with a beautiful hotel right across the street, and lots of restaurants and bars in close vicinity. My guests loved that they did not have to do any sort of driving/ubering between the ceremony, the reception, our after party on the same block, nor heading back to their hotel at the end of the night. If you are looking for a venue that is beautiful, unique, with great staff, and located in a prime area, this one is for you!

to work with, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together. As everyone was arriving for your rehearsal your Mom came over to me and beamed: "there's a lot of love here". It was an honor to play a part in a wedding filled with that much love. :)

lanning, the staff was knowledgeable and considerate of our wedding vision. The day of the wedding they were helpful and kind to our family and guests. Everyone attending could not stop remarking on the beauty of the space and the professionalism of the staff. What's even better was the staff's ability to solve difficulties without anyone (including the Bride and Groom!) knowing. It was a wonderful experience to work with Chris Barker and his staff and to be married in such a magnificent place.

ecific arrangement for us. The reception venue mirrors the architecture of the church but in a modern way. It was lovely to start the evening in the church which was very old world and gorgeous and finish the evening in the modern, bright, beautiful reception hall. It helped keep the vibe of the wedding familiar throughout while still being beautiful the entire time. The location in Providence was perfect and many of our guests commented on how central and convenient the location was. We loved this venue and ceremony space. We highly recommend this beautiful location. Chris and Vince were absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the entire process.
