Roger Williams Park Botanical Center

The Roger Williams Park Botanical Center is a greenhouse event venue set within Roger Williams Park, 427 acres of historic parkland in the Elmwood section of Providence, Rhode Island, just minutes from downtown. Lush gardens, a Koi Pond, and 45-foot-tall palms give the space its character, creating a garden backdrop for weddings, private events, and fundraisers. Rentals run on a five-hour basis and include the Conservatory and Mediterranean Room, which accommodates up to 150 guests theater-style and 80 for a seated reception, dinner, or dance in the Mediterranean Room. The venue also offers use of the Lakeside Pavilion, available May through October, which holds up to 300 guests theater-style and 150 for a seated reception, dinner, or dance. Caterers are given access starting at 4pm with an hour set aside for post-event breakdown, and professional photography is permitted throughout the gardens with a permit, which can be built into a wedding package.
