Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This intimate, French provincial-inspired venue is hidden in the heart of historic downtown Newport, only minutes from the iconic mansions and Cliff Walk. It's the perfect blend of the city's Gilded Age elegance and warm, New England hospitality, with beautifully considered details that make the whole space feel more like someone's beautifully curated home than a traditional event room.
- The main event space is wrapped in Tudor-style casement windows, which allow ample natural light to pool on the gleaming hardwood floors. A stunning vintage built-in bar makes a dramatic focal point, as does a Yamaha Baby Grand Disklavier piano, which can be programmed like a jukebox or played live by a musician, so your ceremony or cocktail hour has a built-in soundtrack without hiring an extra vendor.
- An elopement or small wedding here invites a built-in destination weekend, since two on-site Airbnb apartments are available for the night. Newport's cobblestone streets, waterfront, historic sites, and world-class dining are steps away, with a host of additional accommodations that invite your guests to linger longer.
