Squantum Association Reviews

Amazing, amazing venue! Absolutely beautiful location right on the water and for much lower price than anything else we found around this area! Our guests had the entire grounds to themselves and could be either indoors or outdoors on the patio, gazebo, at the firepit, anywhere! And I didn't have to stress because the actual reception was indoors. Having the bar in a separate room attached to main room was also awesome because people had a place to go and hang out if they wanted a bit quieter space but were still included in the party. Squantum provides so many food options included in their price including a vegetarian and vegan option at no additional cost - did not find that at any other venues! The food was also AMAZING and my guests were raving about it for weeks afterwards. Tina was an amazing coordinator to work with and went out of her way to make sure she knew exactly how I wanted everything set up and even let me come in to try out setting up some decor prior to the wedding. She also organized a tasting earlier than previously scheduled when I told her I wanted to send out my invitations earlier - BEYOND accommodating! She kept everything on track on the actual wedding day without being pushy and let us do things at whatever pace we liked! She even brought us an entire plate of appetizers and champagne while we were taking couple photos during cocktail hour. She went way above and beyond to make sure our day was everything and more we could have hoped for! Cannot recommend this venue enough!!!!!

My wife and I were had our wedding ceremony and reception at Squantum in Nov. 2023, and everything was perfect! Everyone of our guests commented how beautiful the venue grounds and buildings were, how delicious the food was and, for ourselves, there wasn't a single thing that we thought, "You know, this could have been a little better..." EVERYTHING was absolutely perfect! Special thanks to Tina who was exceptional in communication and suggestions, and extremely helpful in realizing our vision for our wedding. I've lived in RI all my life, and I never knew about Squantum...thankfully a my best man recommended it, and I and my wife now wholeheartedly recommend Squantum association for anyone thinking about a wedding venue!!! - Jon and Jenny

There is nowhere else that my husband and I could have gotten married aside from Squantum. It is such a unique and special place that draws you in from the moment you step onto the grounds. Even my first visit there, an extraordinarily overcast and foggy day could not take away from the magic.

After meeting with Tina and touring the buildings on the property, I knew this was where I wanted to get married. My fiance and I returned to tour together, and it was a wonder and a delight that it ticked all of the boxes of both our sets of criteria. It is the perfect combination of rustic dark woods with a historical background and all the amenities you need in the 21st century.

When you get married at Squantum you are the queen and king of the property for the day. Knowing that you can arrive early enough to get ready on-site was a huge stress relief. We were able to have our own separate getting ready spaces with ample room and amenities. It was also a bonus for us that you are able to do ceremony on-site and seamlessly transition into your cocktail hour and reception.

The areas for photos on property are numerous and gorgeous along the water, out towards the island, or on the grand staircase in the clubhouse.

The food was outstanding and I have had several guests tell me that mine was the best wedding they've been to and that it was such a cool spot.

Squantum is truly a hidden gem and the staff, especially Tina, are beyond amazing and will make your day the best it can be!

I truly wish I had another reason (and the budget) to throw another event there!!

Our experience with Squantum was beyond amazing from beginning to end. Tina went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day of our lives. She, and all of the staff, are so friendly, professional, and supportive throughout the whole process. We truly cannot say enough about this gem of a place! Thank you for everything!

Tina, as all the reviews and vendors say, is absolutely amazing! She is super responsive, thoughtful, and willing to work to accommodate our requests. What a joy to work with! Her and her team went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything on our big day. Our guests would not stop raving about the food and service, they loved it all! We are forever grateful to the Squantum Association team for giving us the most magical day ever. XO, The Floods

We can't say enough about Squantum Association as our wedding venue. From the beautiful views, to the historic buildings, and the great staff, we can't imagine having to plan our wedding without the help of Tina Desrosiers. She was attentive and was able to address any concern (there was not many) and make our day so great.

Our food was phenomenal, our guests couldn't stop talking about how great everything was whether it was location or just the venue in general and how much fun they had. We would recommend this venue to anyone who's looking for a great value and price with great service.

I cannot recommend the Squantum Association enough for a wedding. Tina was amazing and clearly very experienced. My favorite thing about the Squantum was that everything (catering + appetizers + alcohol + taxes + fees) were all priced per person, which made it very easy to estimate the cost of the venue. As a dinner club, Squantum provides catering service and the food is amazing. They even have the option for a 3 tier wedding cake through the Taunton bakery. They handled the set up and didn't charge extra for renting tables/chairs/table numbers. After we booked with Squantum all we had to plan for was entertainment, photographers, and the florist. I am so happy I found Squantum for our wedding.

Squantum is the full package for an all inclusive wedding experience! We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception onsite, while guests could explore the grounds and see both the Clubhouse and Bakehouse with the platinum package. The staff at Squantum couldn't be easier to work with! They are so knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. They walked us through each step of the process from booking a date, to selecting the menu, preparing us and our wedding party for the rehearsal, and timeline for payments. No detail went unnoticed! The food was incredible and everyone was a pleasure to work with and make our day extra special. Highly recommend booking the Squantum for your wedding day!

It was fantastic from start to finish. Our event coordinator Tina was awesome!

Squantum Association was an absolutely perfect location for our wedding! It was important for us to be able to have the ceremony/reception on site, as well as have our two dogs present for the ceremony. Squantum was able to provide all of the above for us. The grounds are stunning; with beautiful historic buildings to hold cocktail hour and the reception. Tina, Jon, and the rest of the Squantum team were exceptional! The food is fantastic- not your typical wedding food! Tina is a wonder woman and knows how to remove all the stress leading up to the event. She helped the day run seamlessly and will make sure you have a drink in hand and are well fed despite how busy the day can be with the photographer. Her attention to detail, positivity, communication and organization skills helped to make the perfect day for us. A HUGE thank you to the entire team at Squantum. We highly recommend this venue. This is a true, Rhode Island wedding venue gem- no regrets and would 100% have another event here!

Hidden gem. Guarantee your guests will remember this venue once it over! We had a wonderful time and everyone in every aspect was perfect!

I wouldn’t change a thing about having my wedding at Squantum. Everything went so smoothly from the planning to the day of coordination, Squantum went above and beyond. They thought of all the details. I thank all of the staff, Angie, and Tina for their help from beginning to end.

Truly can’t think of a better venue! Tina, our coordinator, kept us organized and calm throughout the big day. The space is gorgeous and the perfect size for a 100 person wedding. We had hoped for an outdoor ceremony but were relieved the venue had an indoor space as a backup plan for our poor weather. The food was incredible and the all-inclusive packages simplified planning big time.

We were blown away by the value, friendliness, and transparency we found at Squantum! First of all, the photos do not do it justice — you HAVE to go see it!
We actually had booked our wedding at a different venue, but had to scramble and rebook everything in July for our January wedding because the exclusive caterer we had chosen at said venue was sneaky and dishonest with us, not to mention WAY too expensive (basically the same menu we got at Squantum for twice the price… and the food wasn’t as good). Tina and Squantum were a breath of fresh air! Their pricing is so reasonable, without any hidden fees, weird upcharges, etc. and they are obviously trying to get you a good deal (especially in the off season! It was a dream). Tina especially is so down-to-earth and friendly, while still being so incredibly capable and on top of all the details. Multiple wedding guests said they wanted to be her friend. :)
The space is absolutely gorgeous and honestly doesn’t need that much sprucing up, but nonetheless, they let us drop off all of our decorations earlier in the week, which was super convenient and made decorating the morning-of very smooth. Since it was the off-season, we used the Bakehouse, and it was absolutely gorgeous! We had lovely weather for January, but even if we hadn’t, it’s so cozy and picturesque inside. We took most of our portraits in the Big House.
The off-season also meant we got our perfect menu for a really good price. They even added stuffies to the clam chowder station for us! We did heavy passed apps before the meal — Squantum is a little more expensive for those, but it’s because it’s *unlimited* passed apps for the hour, so we never ran out (other places make you pay per item). I think I had eight bacon wrapped shrimp. And the meal was delicious! We loved how much we could personalize it.
Squantum was completely fine with us bringing in a one-woman-show for our desserts (check out Jackie at Epic Sweets!) — they let her drop it all off at 10am, set it all out for us on their serve-ware, and wrapped up the leftovers for us to take home.
Drinks were great. It was altogether perfect and if I were to do it all again, I would book Squantum every time.
Also recommend hiring Kristen and Tom Conte for your photography and DJ needs — with them and Tina, we had the dream team!

I can't say enough!!! The Squantum Club was the perfect Venue for my son's wedding. Tina was so wonderful to work with. She was engaging, responsive, full of fabulous ideas, and most of all, a very calming presence when I was getting nervous. She coordinated everything perfectly, and made the day just the way we had envisioned it. I would highly recommend The Squantum Club for your next event.

This venue was everything we could of dreamed of! The grounds are absolutely beautiful ! The staff were awesome! Tina is amazing! She made our day perfect! I could not be happier! A hidden gem, and am so glad we found it!

Look no further for your wedding venue! We couldn’t have had a more perfect day!!! Tina & the team at Squantum were absolutely unbelievable. They were so amazingly easy to work with, so helpful, and so accommodating. There are really no words to express our gratitude and appreciation. Squantum is the best hidden gem in RI— our guests cannot stop talking about the food & beautiful atmosphere. The service was 10/10. We truly cannot think of one complaint- everything was just stunningly perfect.

Very professional and responsive.

Special Events Coordinator Tina is the best! After at least 100 questions she was still smiling and genuinely interested in making our experience one to treasure. She was wonderfully successful! My daughter’s wedding day was awesome. Beautiful grounds, delicious food, warm and inviting atmosphere. The wait staff were cheerful, polite and sincerely wanted to do their parts to add joy to the day. Our guests loved it all! As did we!!

If you are looking for your perfect rustic/beachy wedding venue look no further! Squantum is truly a hidden gem and so picture perfect. The site coordinator, Tina and all the staff are the best! As soon as we toured the grounds and met Tina we knew we wanted to have our wedding here. Our guests were in awe of the location and how beautiful everything was.
Side note, you get to shoot off a cannon during your ceremony!
We highly recommend squantum!

Squantum was a beautiful venue inside and outside! Tina who helped coordinate our needs was amazing. The food was delicious and the service was spectacular. I have no bad things to say about our big day.

If you want a top-of-the-notch wedding experience, Squantum Association is the venue for you! I can’t say enough about how beautiful the Clubhouse and Bakehouse are – the photographs don’t fully do them justice. The grounds are magnificent and being right on the Bay is breathtaking. It is certainly RI’s hidden gem. Tina and the staff are the epitome of professional – knowing what everyone needs before they know themselves. To pull off a wedding during a pandemic and have flawless experience says it all. Book. It. Now!!

BOOK THIS VENUE! We wanted a Christmas wedding and Squantum did NOT disappoint! Squantum is breathtaking and a hidden gem right outside of Providence, RI. Tina, the venue's wedding coordinator, was amazing from day 1. She was always responsive and helpful with our many questions. This venue, by far, had the most competitive prices with great all-inclusive options. Squantum Association has the most dramatic views and offers warm colors, especially at Christmas time. Everything was lit up for Christmas so we had a minimal need to decorate, they even let us come in a few days before our wedding to look at their Xmas decor so we could decide what could stay for our big day and what we wanted to be put away. The Bakehouse, where the reception was held, is huge and most certainly helped guests feel comfortable and not cramped. The bar in the Bakehouse is incredible and feels like a totally different space than the dining room. Additionally, they lit the giant fireplaces for us to add that beautiful, warmth all throughout the night. They also lit the firepit outside since it was a warmer December night and allowed guests to mingle outdoors. Not to mention, our guests RAVED about the food and the venue overall. Getting married during COVID times are tough and Tina was sure to send us home with those extra meals of people who had to cancel last minute due to the pandemic. There is not one single thing negative that I can say about this venue. They host one wedding at a time so you don't need to worry about sharing the space with anyone. I would choose Squantum over and over again because of its pricing, its location, the staff, and the fact that it is simply stunning!! You will LOVE IT!

From Day one, choosing Squantum,
everything went smoothly from the contract and it’s choices to the end of the wedding night.
The staff treated us special and our guests. The venue was flexible and helped with the event choices. The staff worked very well with our outside vendors. We had no worries the whole day of the wedding and enjoyed it completely. We looked at 27 venues and this far surpassed any of them.
Only one wedding per day at Squantum really made it special. Meal and bar included in one price was great.
