A wonderful client of mine just sent along some photos from her wedding. They had their reception at the wonderful Mount Hope Farm in Bristol. These guys were great to work with and I’m sure their wedding was picture perfect. In addition to the invitations we worked on place cards, table cards and program fans which all helped to complete the look they were going for.
Thanks to Christina Kimmell for the wonderful photography!
Well, it’s time for venue profile number two! When thinking of another venue to profile I figured it was best to start with friends who were married around town and thankfully quite a few have been married in and around Newport!
Our friends Jon and Kim were married at The Atlantic Beach Club in Middletown, RI. (For all the contact information check the bottom of this posting.)
The Atlantic Beach Club sits directly on the beach in Middletown. They were able to hold both the ceremony and reception there. Ideally the ceremony was to be held outside on the lawn overlooking the ocean however the weather didn’t cooperate and plan two went into action with the ceremony being held indoors. Kim and Jon love the water and with the ocean just behind the property they were able to have some nice photos taken on the upper deck using it as a perfect backdrop. (The roof even acted as an umbrella so all stayed dry).
The open dinner/dance space allowed for guests to either dance the night away or if they left their dancing shoes at home they could relax at their table and watch others show off their dance moves. Large windows also offered perfect views of the ocean outside.
All in all this was the perfect venue for their special day! Even the rain couldn’t detract from it!

Since my little studio is located in the heart of a bustling and fabulous wedding area I thought it would be appropriate to share some information about some of the great venues we have! When thinking about which one to start with there was really not much to think about. It had to be the venue where my husband and I were married in October of 2004. We had the most memorable and fabulous day and part of that was because of the beautiful place where we chose for our special day. I really just didn’t want it to end.
We got married at Glen Manor House in Portsmouth, RI. (For all the contact information check the bottom of this posting.)
The Glen provided us everything we were looking for in a venue for our wedding. We wanted a place where we could have both the ceremony and the reception (although that is not necessary). We wanted to get married outside and the grounds at Glen Manor are pristine! The side lawn was ideal for our wedding of 185 guests. (The ballroom would have worked if it had rained but I didn’t plan on it raining!) I also wanted a venue where the girls and I could have a place to get ready and relax before the wedding. The Glen offered a fantastic room upstairs that was large enough for all of us to get ready with room to spare! My now husband and I love the water and we were really hoping to get married near the water. The river is just behind the property and we were able to have some nice photos taken out on the pier. Perfect! We also wanted a venue that was full of character and beauty all its’ own but that also allowed us to bring some of our own personalities to the space. Again, Glen Manor House fit the bill perfectly. At the Glen, you rent the building and then are responsible for coordinating everything else on your own. There is a fabulous couple on hand to guide in the process. This allowed us to create the exact vision we wanted for our wedding while starting with a beautiful canvas so to speak!
All in all this was the perfect venue for our particular needs and wants! Every couple has their own particular vision of what a perfect day and wedding is to them and what worked for us may not work for you. I just wanted to share our great experience at this beautiful treasure.
