Dispensary’s are trash.

I go to the location in Seekonk

Where do you get those!?

Tasca took 3 visits to change a tire.

Chalk me up as another Tasca hater. Hell, I live 5 minutes from Tasca Mazda and I still bought my last two cars from Flood. I was doing maintenance there in Wakefield for awhile too but post-covid I just go to a local shop now.

Also a fan. My son recommended them to me for sleep. Game changer.

They do this every couple years. Really not a great company to work for

Black pearl Barrington or Newport

This comment deserves extra attention. Great post!

Benjamins in Newport.

Im curious how this goes if they dont get a reversal. To be blunt theyre a flagship firm for Rhode Island as far as notoriety goes but their headquarters is in a crap location. I wouldnt be surprised if they eventually try to get state assistance for an HQ re-siting that incidentally entails downsizing.

Thank you so much for the detailed response!! It's very helpful. Hadn't thought about doing a cocktail reception but sounds like it might be a better fit for us.

Oh wow… what a surprise.

Two ten oyster bar

I so rarely go to the movies so I don't remember the last one I saw there. Usually go to the Showcase in Seekonk, MA but they use the glasses. Also go to the Avon in Providence for more indie-type films. They usually have the glasses but they don't always work. I hate those things. It's such a terrible option for some who needs reading glasses and regular glasses....

This is a half-baked comment. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence, but once you decide to shit or get off the pot, let me know bud.

Have you seen an open caption movie there since then?

They also recently burned an absurd amount of goodwill w/ recent proposed changes to D&D licensing, leading to almost anyone they could partner with in the tabletop RPG space to view them in a hostile light. Which will just lead them to leaning on M:tG even harder, continuing to make the product saturation problem worse.

Can confirm. The ones with melatonin THC/CBD knock me out nicely and not too groggy a start in the AM. (200+ lbs so meter dosage appropriately, my folks split one and it works.)

I know it's not everyone's favorite but I saw the last Star Wars movie with open captions at the Showcase in Providence Place. I was only person in the theater and it was pretty awesome. Way better than those awful captioning glasses.

Our wedding in 2018 at the Roger William Botanical Garden cost around $23,000. $13,000 alone was for the catering for 160 guests. The rest went towards the location, photographer, a DJ, cake from Sin Bakery, and other odds and ends that came up.

Our wedding ceremony was in the Rose Maze Garden, Cocktail Hour was in the Conservatory Room, and the Reception was in the Mediterranean Room. Someone else mentioned a 110 person max- I don't remember ever hearing that in 2018 so it could be a somewhat recent change. We started off planning for 200 and only later whittled it down to a solid 160.

The only mistake we made was in underestimating the seating. We set up activity areas around the garden (Sign in book with armchairs, an old school video game station, a photo station, etc) and anticipated people would mill about during the reception rather than sit down and not get up as the space in beautiful. This was not the case, and with only about 100 seats a handful of guests left early apparently feeling left out. I would definitely have added a few more tables in retrospect- but I'm not beating myself up about it. It was advertised as a cocktail style wedding and we were more interested in providing a fun experience over a stuffy sit down meal. We didn't feel cramped as others have mentioned and the dance floor was more than adequate.

We used the Catering Gourmet and they supplied us with all of the tables, seating and silverware as part of the service. They were very helpful and we were impressed by the tasting. We met with a few other caterers from the list we were provided by the Botanical Garden and one of the options we crossed off after two meetings when the owner tried to shoot our ideas down and direct us in how we needed to set the room up- which was a major turn off. Catering Gourmet tried to accommodate all of our specific and weird ideas and I don't have any regrets using them. We had a wood grilled pizza station and a fajita/taco bar along with hors d'ouvres.

You could definitely do it cheaper, but $25,000 is probably a good average cost for 150 people. Obviously, the more things you can do yourself within that framework the more money you can save, and you could certainly figure out ways to do it cheaper. And if you want to spend more for a proper steak dinner I'm sure you could also make the price skyrocket.

Anyway, congratulations and good luck- it's a fantastic location and will definitely make for some good memories for everyone involved!

Kate at love culture in providence did a cut like that for my son and it turned out excellent.

I take 5mg/5mg THC/CBD gummies 1/2 at a time for this reason of cutting down the dose rate. I’ve never had a good THC tolerance even as a 200lb+ guy, and those put me to bed most nights with no problems.

I go up to DDM Cannabis in Blackstone, MA for what it’s worth
