Getting married here was an absolute dream.

Susanne Day, our Sales Manager, was easy to communicate with, always available to chat, and full of on-budget creative ideas. I was shocked when she told us we could get married at this location within our budget. Maggie Kane, the GM and Director of Catering, is amazing. Firstly, she is so unbelievably kind, and I want to be her friend in real life. Secondly, she is organized and knowledgeable. Maggie's relaxed energy and expertise made everything simple and stress-free. Our day and the days leading up to it were relaxed, easy, and fun. Kayley, our Event Manager, was our go-to on the day of the wedding and supported us during the days before. She was outstanding. Our wedding party was never left without a drink or a snack, and she effortlessly kept the events flowing as we transitioned from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception and to our water taxi departure. I can't say enough wonderful things about this venue. Our guests raved about the epic backdrop and delicious food. My only complaint is that the day went by too fast!

Best Wedding Ever

Regatta Place is THE PLACE to get married. It’s gorgeous and their team is incredibly organized and made wedding planning a breeze. Just follow their timeline and you’ll be good to go! Maggie and team made wedding planning fun and easy, they are professional wedding planners and know exactly what to do. They also provide “day-of” wedding planners we had Kayleigh (who we met with a few days before), and she made sure that we were happy the entire time (she also set up our wedding favors for us beautifully)! I cannot thank Regatta Place enough for a stress free experience. It was perfect and everyone keeps telling me it was their favorite wedding with the best food! It exceeded my expectations!

Best venue in Newport!!

Regatta Place was our dream venue. Getting married on the water was extremely important to me and my partner, so having the ceremony and reception on a dock was absolutely incredible. The ceremony area flows right into the cocktail hour area, and then right into the reception, making for a seamless guest experience. And while the location and amenities are of the highest caliber, that's actually only half of what makes Regatta Place so special. The staff, Maggie especially, are the kindest and hardest working event team I have ever encountered. Not only are they professionals in every sense of the word, but they are genuinely excited to make your vision come to life. They worked tirelessly with us to make sure every detail was accounted for and then made it all happen. If you're nervous about it raining, this venue is still perfect! We thought up until an hour before the ceremony that it would rain, and while it didn't, I felt confident that everything would be taken care of by the Regatta Place team if it had, which meant we didn't have to worry about it at all!

My husband and I photographed a wedding at The Regatta Place in May of 2011. Besides the bridal suite being absolutely gorgeous, the staff was incredibly attentive to every need of not only the bride, but the bridesmaids, her mother and father along with myself. They did the same with the groom, his groomsmen and my husband. Throughout the day, there was always someone present, calming the nerves of the bride and her family and they were exceptional with their service throughout the entire reception. We enjoyed working with the staff at The Regatta Place and would gladly accept the invitation to photograph a wedding there again. Exceptional service and care. We can't wait to go back!
