Shelter Harbor Inn
Say ‘I do’ in a historical elegant setting.
Holds ceremonies and receptions
Shelter Harbor Inn exceeded every expectation and was the perfect setting for our late-September wedding weekend. From the very beginning, Erin was incredibly attentive, organized, and thoughtful throughout the entire planning process. She kept us on track with key milestones, was flexible in accommodating onsite visits, and ensured every detail — including room blocks and guest accommodations — was seamless and well managed. Her professionalism and care made the planning experience truly stress-free.
The staff at the Inn were consistently kind, professional, and welcoming, creating a truly elevated experience for us and our guests. We had family and friends travel from all over the country, as far as California, and they couldn’t stop raving about the rooms and amenities. The convenience of on-site dining, breakfast, shuttle service, and beach access made the entire weekend feel effortless and special.
The venue itself is exceptional. The recently renovated dining space accommodated our celebration perfectly and struck a beautiful balance between elegance and sophistication. For cocktail hour, we used the outdoor patio and side yard, which created the ideal setting for guests to mingle, enjoy appetizers, and relax. The addition of outdoor games — so graciously provided by the Inn — was a wonderful touch and added to the warm, inviting atmosphere.
Shelter Harbor Inn is also in a fabulous location. Its proximity to Westerly and South Kingstown allowed our guests to explore and enjoy the surrounding area, adding even more to the overall experience of the weekend.
What truly sets Shelter Harbor Inn apart is its charm and intimacy. It feels like a refined New England escape — personal, quaint, and thoughtfully designed rather than large or impersonal. Having direct access to the beach was a highlight for us, especially for photos, and is something that makes this venue stand out among others.
Everything about our experience was exceptional — it truly couldn’t have been better. We’re already looking forward to returning to Shelter Harbor Inn, and many of our guests have shared the same sentiment. We’re incredibly grateful for such a memorable experience and would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for an intimate, beautifully executed, and elevated wedding weekend.
Where do I even begin about Shelter Harbor Inn. From the months leading up to the actual day of, the staff went above and beyond, exceeding all expectations I could have had. Paula and Mike are a dream team and executed all the details for my perfect Al fresco style reception. They truly made everything go as smooth as you can hope for as a bride. Not only was the food delicious, but having everyone stay on site really made it special. I’m so thankful for this venue and I can confidently say Paula, Mike and staff feel like family! Thank you again for my perfect day
