The Atlantic Inn first opened its doors in 1879 and has continuously served in that capacity in one form or another. Brothers Greg and Doug Faron, who recently purchased the inn, have welcomed in a new generation with a refreshed and reimagined property with nods to its history and vibe. Each of the twenty-one rooms features updated amenities such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi, newly renovated private bathrooms and furniture.
The expansive grounds are dotted with flower beds, paths and ocean views, making it the perfect place for a wedding ceremony and reception. When we host weddings at the Atlantic Inn, the property is yours for the weekend. We close to the public so that you, your friends and family can enjoy this amazing property all to yourselves.

“Our daughter was married on Block Island. The reception was at the Atlantic Inn … The food was just wonderful; it was even better than we had imagined. We had the guests stay at the inn for the entire weekend. This allowed the guests to have the entire place to themselves. This made for a wonderful reunion alongside the wedding. We had the rehearsal dinner at the inn (fantastic), the reception Saturday (phenomenal) and a Sunday brunch (delicious). The staff at the Atlantic Inn are all courteous, hardworking, professional and attentive to every detail. It is indeed a special place.” —Heidi G. on TheKnot.com
