The Squantum Association is a private club founded in 1872, set on the bluffs above Narragansett Bay in East Providence, and takes around 160 guests. The water is on three sides and the lawn runs down towards it, so the light comes off the bay for the last hour of the day with nothing built between the lawn and the horizon. The clubhouse carries its age well — verandah, panelled rooms, and the kind of detail that photographs without needing dressing. There is a bridal suite in the building and a cabin on the property where the wedding party can get ready, which keeps the morning in one place rather than spread across hotels.

Sunset times are calculated for this venue's coordinates, shown in EDT for the 15th of each month in 2026. Golden hour is the 60 minutes before sunset. The ceremony start is my rule of thumb — about 2 hours before sunset, so a short ceremony and family photos still leave the two of you in golden light. Adjust it to your own timeline. Average temperatures and rainfall are NOAA 1991–2020 normals from PROVIDENCE T F GREEN AP, 5.6 miles away.
