The Boiler Room at Cutler Mill

The Boiler Room at Cutler Mill is a historic New England mill turned event venue in Warren, Rhode Island. Brick walls, exposed beams and high industrial ceilings give it real character, and the open, flexible layout can be set up for a seated dinner, a cocktail party or a night of dancing. It hosts weddings, galas and other private events.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

The open space is a blank canvas that you can style your own way, and your own decor is welcome with prior approval. An onsite coordinator helps with vendors and the running of the venue, so the day has one clear point of contact. It is a strong fit for couples who want an urban, industrial setting with plenty of room to put their own stamp on it.

Ceremonies

You can hold your ceremony on site, either indoors in the main room or outside on the patio. Having both the ceremony and reception in one place keeps the day simple for you and your guests. Rehearsals can be arranged, depending on availability.

Receptions and food

The venue seats up to 150 guests for dinner, or up to 200 for a cocktail-style reception. Catering is provided exclusively by BH Catering and Events, who use the fully equipped onsite kitchen and set up and clear the tables and chairs. The venue runs the bar itself, with options from all-inclusive packages to consumption-based service. Cakes can be kept refrigerated on site. The building is heated and air conditioned, so it works in every season.

Getting there and the area

Warren is a small waterfront town on the East Bay of Rhode Island, close to Bristol and Barrington. Providence is about 20 minutes away and Boston about an hour and 15 minutes by car. On-site parking is limited, so the venue encourages shuttle buses from local hotels, and there are plenty of places to stay nearby.
