About this venue
Elevate your wedding weekend aboard the Schooner Aurora, a majestic 101-foot tall ship that captures the spirit of Newport’s golden age of sailing. Perfect for pre-wedding welcome parties or "anchors aweigh" post-wedding brunches, this classic vessel offers a refreshing alternative to traditional banquet halls. Whether you’re hosting a sunset rehearsal sail or a casual lobster boil on the harbor, the Aurora provides a breathtaking backdrop of Narragansett Bay. It’s an unforgettable way to greet your guests as they arrive in Rhode Island or to bid them a scenic farewell before the honeymoon begins.
