Roger Williams Park Casino was the location for our July 2010 wedding. I live in Cambridge, MA and found that Providence, RI would be a more affordable location for our wedding to take place.
We found the Casino online and it was great. What I liked best is that they only have one event per day and the ENTIRE building is yours! That includes the bandstand for an outdoor ceremony, the ground floor and the ballroom upstairs. This helped improve the "flow" of our wedding and led to great transitions from ceremony/cocktail hour / reception. The venue is a great deal and we were able to do our searching for a good bargain on caterers.
Working with the staff was great, they know their stuff. I was able to do a few different onsite visits to check things out and was very happy with the end result. I highly reccomend!:)
