Venues & Event Spaces near Charlestown, RI

“Where to start? The venue, the staff, the food?! If you don't want to read further just know that they were all exceptional. To start, the venue is a hidden gem, it was the perfect spot for our rustic wedding. The staff, Marisa, Gabe, Brian, just to name a few were a pleasure to work with. Marisa and Gabe the owners, but also the Venue Coordinator and Chef, from the beginning were easy to communicate with and were always able to answer my questions - and there were a ton. They even hosted our rehearsal dinner and oh man it was FANTASTIC. Brian, what would I have done without him on our wedding day? He literally calmed my nerves and checked on us the WHOLE night, making sure we were able to enjoy in the food, drinks, and whatever else we might want. He was so sweet with my niece, our flower girl, telling her she was feeding the deer with the petals she would throw - she was excited! The food, the food was AMAZING! I have received so many compliments on our day and across the board everyone absolutely LOVED the food. We did a chicken and fish course, the portions were not skimpy, the chicken wasn't dry, the fish had a great stuffing, and I'm glad my husband and I got one of each to share! Thank you Meadow Brook Inn for bringing my wedding vision to life, it truly checked so much off my list and although it falls off the beaten path, I would choose it over and over again if given the option.”

“I organized a Playbreak field trip to the farm and could not be happier with everything! There were so many amazing activities going on and the staff was amazing with the kids and keeping things well organized! My almost 3 year old and I had a fantastic time! We can't wait to visit again soon!”

“We had an amazing experience hosting our wedding at Shelter Harbor Inn on October 12th, 2023. Paula and her team's expertise and guidance were invaluable throughout the entire planning process. Their attention to every detail ensured that everything ran seamlessly. My husband and I could truly relax and savor every moment, knowing that they had everything under control. The food was exceptional, and the service made everyone feel well-catered to and cared for. I highly recommend to anyone to host their event at Shelter Harbor Inn!”

“A very pleasant surprise find after a tulip picking outing in Exeter. The food was nuanced and flavourful. We had the shaved veg salad and pork nachos for appetizers. Tasty dressings and great variety of textures and flavors. The Thai style fried rice was beautifully seasoned. You knew from the mound of perfectly crispy fried basil on top that the chef cared about serving delicious food that hits all the right notes. The texture of the beef rib was soft and juicy. The black bean burger was good and the fish and chips were huge and well cooked. The key lime pie and lava cake were not overly sweet and flavorful. Prices were a bit higher than I expected for being outside a city but you could easily pay the same prices for mediocre or worse food in Boston or Providence. Additionally, we loved all the Jamaican music. Great random find!”

“Nov. 8th, 2023, we had the pleasure of having our daughter's wedding at the Galilee Beach Club. I cannot say enough about how well the complete event was handled, from the rehearsal dinner the night before to every detail on the wedding day!! This place and their staff are truly Top Notch!!! Would 100% recommend if you are wanting your special day to be PERFECT!!!...this is the place!!!!”

“Ate here for the first time with friends. It was very busy but worth the wait for a table. Highly recommend the clam cakes and chowder it was some of the best I've had in a long time! Fun place with a great atmosphere.”
