Awarded Best of Zola
“The Atlantic Resort at Wyndham Newport was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. From the moment we started working with Heather and her team, they were quick to respond, easy to work with, and went above and beyond to make our day special. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with stunning views that blew our guests away. The quality of their work and the value we received was excellent - they helped us with everything from storing our huge UHaul of flowers and decor to assisting with any needs we had throughout the weekend. Heather is truly the best, and we cannot say enough good words about the Wyndham, Heather, and the whole team. Our wedding day at the Atlantic Resort was a wonderful experience that we will cherish forever.”

Whether you are hosting an elegant reception or a seaside ceremony, Regatta Place combines historic maritime charm with modern elegance for an unforgettable Newport wedding experience.

“I cannot say enough incredible things about Regatta Place. My (now) husband and I booked the venue without seeing it in person, as we live out of town. They worked around our schedules when visiting, and were extremely communicative throughout the process with us! It poured the entire weekend of our wedding, including the wedding day and they still made the place absolutely stunning. 2 weeks post wedding & Our guests even haven’t stopped telling us how amazing the staff and venue were! They made sure my husband and I were 100% taken care of 100% of the time throughout the night. They kept our food covered until we were ready to eat as it’s easy getting stopped by people greeting you. They made sure we had drinks as we needed them. We had our own space/bathroom to get away to when we needed a breather minute. The entire staff was friendly and again just I don’t know how to put into words how happy I am, and I’m especially grateful for Maggie!! Maggie coordinated EVERYTHING wedding related and even answered all the repetitive questions from family the day before. If I were able to go back knowing the outcome I would book regatta place a million times over again”

Beyond its stunning Atlantic views, OceanCliff is renowned for world-class cuisine and a legacy of social excellence.

“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! :)”
