Weddings
What's the key to a memora-
ble wedding? Location, location,
location.
It is one of the most important
days of your life, so make it one
you'll never forget. Block Island
offers a variety of spectacular
settings that will guarantee your
wedding will be a classic. Have
your reception at one of the
Island's many seaside Victorian
hotels. Exchange your vows on
one of our breathtaking beaches
as the waves crash along the
shoreline. Walk down the aisle
in one of the Island's distinctively
New England churches. Or tie
the knot at the majestic Mohe-
gan Bluffs as the sun sets in the
distance.
As a popular wedding destina-
tion, the Island is well-equipped
to cater to your every need.
From flower arrangements to ca-
tering to wedding photographs,
you'll find a wealth of on-island
options to fit your budget.
Make it more than just a
ceremony. Make it a wedding
weekend filled with bicycling,
swimming and hiking. After a
day soaking rays on the beach
or hitting the nature trails, enjoy
cocktails on the deck of one of
our landmark hotels, dinner at an
award-winning restaurant or live
entertainment at an Island bar
or nightclub. There's so much
to do.
It's like having a wedding and
a honeymoon rolled into one!
Conferences
Hosting an ornithology
conference? Wining and dining
prospective clients? Trying to
impress business executives
or politicians from out of state?
Block Island's the place to be.
Despite its small size, the Is-
land has played host to some big
events. The Audubon Society
takes advantage of the Is-
land's reputation as a haven
for birders to host its annual
conference here. Recently,
officials from the U.S. Small
Business Administration
used the Island to highlight
Rhode Island's unique offer-
ings. And this spring, the Is-
land will once again host the
Block Island Poetry Project,
a series of poetry-themed work-
shops organized by Lisa Starr,
Rhode Island's Poet Laureate.
Come experience the bene-
fits of hosting a high-profile
event in an intimate community
setting. Your attendees and
guests will love exploring Block
Island together.
