Although summer, spring, and fall are top seasons for weddings, winter wedding venues in Rhode Island have a lot to offer. First and foremost, you won’t be chasing dates that your friends and family are using for weddings (and/or vacations), and you’ll have better pick of wedding vendors in Rhode Island. Pricing may also be more equitable for your budget, and doing something local, if Rhode Island is your home, may also be a positive bonus for you.
