Built in 1822, the Aldrich House is a National Historic Landmark located on the beautiful and historic East Side of Providence. The house was presented to the Rhode Island Historical Society in 1974 by the heirs of Winthrop W. Aldrich, a former Ambassador to Great Britain, and it also serves as the Rhode Island Historical Society headquarters, hosting RIHS special events and programs by appointment. Robert S. Burroughs hired noted Rhode Island architect John Holden Greene to build the house in 1821; it was completed in 1822, the same year the Rhode Island Historical Society was founded. The Aldrich family later shaped national history from this address: Nelson W. Aldrich rose to the U.S. Senate in 1881 and helped lay the groundwork for the Federal Reserve, his daughter Abby married John D. Rockefeller Jr., and their son, Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, was named after him. During World War II, another daughter, Lucy Aldrich, sheltered Scottish evacuee children at the house.

Jacky's Restaurant & Banquet in North Providence, Rhode Island traces back to 1996, when Jacky and his wife Iris opened their first restaurant in town. Within three years, Jacky opened a second fine-dining restaurant on Mineral Spring Ave, this one built around artful sushi inspirations, private dining rooms, and elegant banquet facilities - the restaurant that stands today. The kitchen specializes in classic and contemporary Asian cuisine, drawing from China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia alongside Szechwan, Hunan, and Hong Kong traditions paired with Western technique and presentation. That range has earned recognition from Martin Yan and Flavor and Fortune magazine as one of the top 100 restaurants in the United States for Pan Asian cuisine, along with ten Rhode Island's Best Awards from Rhode Island Monthly. For private events, the restaurant offers a Banquet Hall that accommodates up to 150 guests alongside three smaller private dining rooms, giving hosts room to scale a celebration from an intimate dinner to a full banquet, all served from the same kitchen known for its sushi bar and East-meets-West menu.

Agawam Hunt is a private country club set on 130 wooded, riverside acres in Rumford, Rhode Island, just across the water from Providence's East Side. Founded in 1897 as a fox hunting organization, the club traces its roots to the Providence County Hunt of the 1870s and has occupied its current clubhouse site, a former farmhouse, since that era. In 2018, New Agawam, LLC acquired the property and partnered with The Nature Conservancy to permanently protect eleven of the club's interior golf course holes from development. The clubhouse offers formal and casual indoor spaces alongside outdoor venues on the property's rolling lawns and gardens, suited to weddings, showers, milestone celebrations, and corporate gatherings across the seasons. Catering draws on locally sourced ingredients from regional farms, dairies, and coastal waters, with an in-house pastry chef preparing custom cakes and gluten-free options. The grounds also serve as a backdrop for photo shoots, and the club's food and beverage team can arrange bespoke in-home dining for smaller gatherings of up to twelve guests. Beyond its event spaces, the club maintains golf, tennis, platform tennis, pickleball, squash, and swimming facilities, reflecting its long history as a sporting club alongside its role as an event destination.

The Theatre’s renovations are extensive for both inside and outside of the building and have been made to create the ultimate event experience.
