From the reviews
These gardens were truly a labor of love cultivated by Alonso Kinney, a Botanist at the University of Rhode Island. Now maintained by his heirs, the gardens are open to the public free of charge during the late spring when in full bloom and are often used as a site for outdoor weddings.
Getting married at Kinney Azalea Gardens
Kinney Azalea Gardens comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
