My husband and I had our wedding at the end of 2023 at this event space. We are so happy with the experience that we had with this venue. From the beginning they were very clear about what would be included in our package and pricing. When you have your initial consultation they draw up a price with you after you make food/drink selections so you know how much (including tips and fees) you will pay the day of. I cannot stress enough how much easier this made the ENTIRE planning process as that cost was known up front. Our tasting was such a lovely experience and we felt so cared for by Alex and the staff there - not to mention the food was awesome! The space itself is so fun, I still have guests talking to me about the 1920s bowling alley and how fun it was. The open brick walls and high ceilings really give a beautiful backdrop to whatever vibe you want to bring at your wedding. It was also important to us that we capture a bit of New England spirit and fall magic in our wedding and the space lends itself perfectly to that. Overall I highly recommend this beautiful, reasonably priced space for your Rhode Island wedding needs!

I cannot say enough about this venue! The venue space alone is absolutely spectacular if you are looking for that industrial rustic charm. We used the bowling alley during cocktail hour which was a big hit with our guests and made for some beautiful pictures. Alec, our day of Coordinator did not miss a beat and was so sweet and nice. He made sure that everything was perfect. The rest of the staff was amazing as well, from clean up to set, they did not disappoint. If you are looking for good food, good people and lots of charm, I would highly recommend having your event here.

We used Hope Events on Main for our wedding ceremony and venue last weekend, and it was truly magical! The venue itself is a beautiful mill style building with lots of big windows and exposed brick. The ceremony was in the shopping space- the stores were all closed and the acoustics were awesome! The cocktail hour was in the bowling alley upstairs which our guests LOVED! And the reception space- flawless. It really doesn’t need much decor, the room really stands on its own. The staff were amazing- so friendly and courteous, and they checked in with us throughout the night. Our day of coordinator Alec did a great job of wrangling our massive bridal party of 23 people, and even though we were late to our rehearsal he was patient and did not rush us. The pricing was very reasonable, and the catering had so many options. The food was delicious! We couldn’t have picked a better venue for our day, we highly recommend!

I cannot recommend this venue and this team enough for your event. We recently hosted the Youth Pride annual fundraising Soiree here and our event was STUNNING! The staff were attentive, friendly, and wonderful. Everything looked amazing, the food tasted great, and they were so adaptable during the event when we needed to grab some extra chairs for unexpected guests. We will certainly be working with this team again for our next large event. Thank you, HAV team!

When we began planning our wedding, we knew we wanted something unique and unforgettable. Little did we know that our dream wedding would take place at the most unexpected yet incredible venue with a historic bowling alley! The food stations were so much fun. Everyone had a great time! Thanks to our amazing wedding planner, Jackie, our special day was an absolute blast from start to finish.

Alec was the best part of our special day! That's the only reason I give two stars because they're all for him. At the reception we had a pre determined seating chart which was displayed at the beginning of the room, and it was wrong after we returned from happy hour upstairs in the duck pin lanes room. Some staff moved the table that was supposed to have my family nearest me, to the corner. The same mistake was made on my spouses side of the family. An HOUR is plenty of time to move chairs and tables.Then, the food, the Italian feast which is $30 a plate, was COLD!!! ALL of it. Chicken Parmesan isn't supposed to be cold. Nor is it meant to be burnt. But it was. The entire pan. The ENTIRE meal was cold, and bland and very unsatisfying! When I emailed Jackie about it, she did issue a $500 refund, but that doesn't even cover half the price of food???!!!I wouldn't suggest getting married here. The cons outweigh the pros here.

This was my moms first time being a vendor at the Hope Artiste Village. Dorine who I believe was the coordinator for the Holiday Stroll was in constant communication with me via email to help me set up the vendor station for my mom. The day of was so easy to bring my mothers items from the side door thanks to the clear instructions. Everyone was so helpful and it was a fun experience! Thank you!
