Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This picturesque nature center is a serene natural oasis bursting with vibrant native perennials and lush grasses, marshes and wetlands, lily pad-studded ponds, and mature forests... and boasts a prime location in charming Bristol, only 30 minutes from the mansions of Newport, the bustling heart of Providence, and the harbors of Fall River.
- Exquisite backdrops abound on this 28-acre refuge: have a stunning first look in the pollinator garden, exchange vows on a breezy patio overlooking a rolling meadow, mingle amid the unique aquarium tanks and hands-on exhibits in the Center, and dance the night away in the spacious auditorium or beneath a tent on the lawn.
- Best of all, your rental supports the Audubon Society's vital mission to protect the state's lands and waters, implement local solutions to the climate crisis, safeguard wildlife and bird habitats, and educate the next generation of nature lovers.
