What sets your venue apart? Newport Harbor Island Resort is a unique, private seaside wedding destination offering thoughtfully curated wedding packages with creative catering, breathtaking views, newly renovated accommodations and a variety of indoor and outdoor venue options for magnificent photo opportunities. Our wedding package is one of the most comprehensive in the area and includes five hours of open bar, cocktail hour, plated dinner, a Prosecco toast, all-day access to an expansive getting-ready room, a complimentary night in our bi-level suite and a menu tasting. Newport Harbor Island Resort provides the quintessential coastal New England setting for tying the knot.
Is your venue a One-Stop Shop? With approximately 30,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space — the most event space in Newport — we can easily accommodate wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours and receptions, plus rehearsal dinners, welcome receptions and post-wedding brunches. Our Rose Island Ballroom (seating up to 220 with a dance floor) sits directly at the water’s edge. The ballroom boasts French doors and an expansive wraparound deck, surrounded by lush green lawn and sweeping views of Narragansett Bay — especially at sunset! The Lighthouse Lawn is the ideal setting for exchanging vows overlooking Goat Island’s iconic lighthouse and the Newport Pell Bridge.
DO YOU HOST MULTIPLE WEDDINGS AT A TIME? We only host one wedding at a time to ensure you receive our team’s undivided attention, and to give you and your guests privacy on your big day. Our talented and experienced onsite wedding team will work with you throughout your planning to help with all the details, providing a seamless experience and the highest level of service.
WHAT OTHER PERKS DOES YOUR VENUE OFFER? Our resort amenities include 258 guestrooms (including suites), our Torpedo Bar & Lounge, a waterfront spa, twenty-two-slip marina, complimentary bikes and watersports, valet service and extensive self-parking, outdoor firepits, Newport’s only outdoor resort pool, a year-round heated indoor pool, poolside cabanas, a seasonal kids’ club and a well-equipped twenty-four-hour fitness center. The resort is pet-friendly, and dogs are more than welcome to be included in your wedding ceremony.
WHAT QUESTION SHOULD COUPLES ASK WHILE VENUE SEARCHING? An important question to ask in searching for your ideal venue would be, “How would recent brides describe their experience with your venue?” At Newport Harbor Island Resort, we are proud of our five-star reviews, which praise our accommodating staff, the breathtaking views and delicious food. We pride ourselves on bringing your wedding vision to life with top-notch service.
DO YOU HOST ANY OTHER WEDDING-RELATED EVENTS? Our full-service resort makes for the ideal destination wedding location. Our hotel rooms and suites offer a refined home base for your wedding getaway. Begin your wedding weekend with an intimate rehearsal dinner with catered cuisine and creative cocktails in our restaurant, a family gathering at a traditional New England-style clambake in one of our outdoor clambake pits, or a seaside barbeque in our 3,200-square-foot Island Pavilion. Welcome receptions on the Harborview Deck afford a casual and comfortable atmosphere to greet friends and family. After the wedding celebrations, a post-wedding brunch — complete with bloody marys and mimosa bars — rounds out a most memorable weekend.
