Beyond its stunning Atlantic views, OceanCliff is renowned for world-class cuisine and a legacy of social excellence. Whether you’re hosting an intimate rehearsal dinner or a grand reception, it remains Newport's most enchanting destination.

“OceanCliff Hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we reached out, the staff, especially Alison and Taylor, were incredibly responsive and great listeners as we planned our special day. The venue itself is open, stunning water views, breath taking sunsets and beautifully appointed with fireplaces that created a warm and cozy atmosphere. We got married last month, January, and our guest could not stop telling us how much they loved the fireplaces and views. I chose this venue because of the fireplace, views, and chandeliers. I scheduled our ceremony during the sun set and it was more than I could have ever expected. The food was amazing, and the entire team worked efficiently to ensure our wedding day went off without a hitch. I did add the clam chowder and clam cakes to our cocktail hour and all the guests have raved about how good the clam cakes were! In my opinion they are better than Iggy’s. Yes, I said that! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate our marriage. I highly recommend doing the ceremony and taking pictures during the sunset! We highly recommend OceanCliff Hotel to any couple looking for a stunning backdrop and attentive service for their wedding. Pick this venue now! This is your sign! :)”
