RI CEREMONY SITES

eryen

Hi
We are planning a summer 2011 wedding in RI

We are considering a few venues ...
We really want to get married outside by the water
so we are considering Aldrich Mansion -  
which we love and has everything including the date wee want but
and big but they only allow weddings to take place on their property in the church & only if you are both Catholic.
We do not want a church ceremony - so we are trying very hard to find somewhere in the area that we can can have the ceremony by the water outside but with an inside option as a backup.
Any suggestions
Thanks

Atlantic Beach Club and Easton's Beach Rotunda come to mind.  Both spots are really nice, offer inside and beach options.

Ocean cliff mansion.  Beautiful inside and outside!  My favorite

Love Oceancliff - it actually was my first & only choice at first
but - I  just cant get a straight answer out of them!
 I feel like they are professional fishermen
- bait & swtch...LOL
 get one price - ask a few more questions and oh its this price and dont forget to add this & so on and so on.
So after going back and forth with OceanCliff for weeks
we have become hooked on the idea of Aldrich Mansion
Problem is We just dont want a church ceremony (you cant have a non church ceremony at Aldrich)
 so we need a ceremony site outside/ waterfront with a plan B
Gooddard is booked on our day -
Colts = Holiday weekend so its out plus no plan b for weather 
Please Help any suggestions are greatly appreciated
 
Thanks

Warwick Country Club, right down the street from Aldrich Mansion, has outdoor ceremony overlooking the water but room inside if the weather doesn't cooperate!  May already be booked for next summer though.
