Why You’ll Love It
You should really consider having your wedding at The Towers Narragansett if you:
History of The Towers Rhode Island
Back in the 1880s, the Narragansett Pier Casino was built on Ocean Road in Narragansett RI. A significant fire occurred in 1900, all but wiping the casino out.
Fortunately for engaged couples like yourselves, The Towers remain as perhaps Narragansett’s most famous landmark.
These days, The Towers is a wedding venue and host facility to other special occasions.
Interestingly, the property is a municipal building owned by the Town of Narragansett.
Frequently Asked Questions About The Towers
The Towers Venue Vibe
Simply put, your wedding day at The Towers will beautiful and memorable. Here are some of the reasons why:
Historic Architecture
As you can see in the photos, The Narragansett Towers consists of Victorian architecture. The iconic aspect are the two vertical, conical structures connected by an archway. Ocean Road runs underneath; the building straddles the road.
Great Hall and Inside
This historic venue keeps things simple: it consists of a single room. The Towers’ Great Hall is up on the third floor. It’s a long rectangle, measuring about 20 feet wide and 130 long. Multiple seating arrangements are possible for your wedding at The Towers, fitting up to 160. A more comfortable maximum is 120.
(If you’re in need of an even bigger wedding venue, consider Cranston’s Rhodes on the Pawtuxet.)
Oh yeah: the twinkle lights; these are a nice touch that you’re bound to love. These dangle from the ceiling in the center portion of the venue, somewhat reminiscent of The Barns at Wesleyan Hills in CT.
The ends of the Great Hall are wider; the water end is used as the ceremony venue and dance floor while the opposite side (where the elevator and main stairs are) is used for cocktail hour and your bar. Hardwood floors run throughout.
A prep kitchen and small getting ready area are on the second floor (the latter is not a full suite though). The first floor has a small welcome area. There’s an older elevator to transport guests up to the Great Hall; those comfortable walking may opt for the stairs.
Outside The Towers Rhode Island
One of the main draws of a wedding at The Towers are the sweeping views outside. The Ocean Road area of Narragansett is literally right on the water, overlooking the Atlantic. With views like these, it’s almost like getting married on a boat.
Compared to other Rhode Island wedding venues, The Towers is much more laid back than some of the ones in Newport.
