“Please just book Regatta Place for your Newport wedding!! We got married here in August, and it was truly the best day we could have imagined. All of our guests raved about how unique and gorgeous the venue was, but that's not even the main reason to book them.
The team is OUTSTANDING and their professionalism and attention to detail made our day run so smoothly. We didn't have a planner, and honestly with the team at Regatta Place, we didn't need one. They answered every question, helped us coordinate everything from menu selection to day-of timeline and details, and on the day of the wedding, Emily and Maggie took care of everything seamlessly.
The food is also incredible. We don't typically notice or care all that much about food at weddings, but Regatta Place blew us away. All of our guests kept commenting on how good the food was (even our hard-to-please foodie guests). The team was also incredible about accommodating allergies and dietary restrictions, with some of our gluten/dairy-free guests commenting on how they felt so much more well-taken care of than at other weddings where it feels like more of an afterthought.
Finally, our favorite part of the night was the party! A band on the Regatta Place dance floor is so much more fun than a generic ballroom, and the patio at night, with the string lights and the couches overlooking the water, is just magical. Our dance floor was an absolute blast, and a huge part of that was the vibe of the venue.
I will also say, with rain in the forecast up until the day of the wedding, I was nervous. But the team had such a good plan in place in case of rain, and in my opinion, Regatta Place has the best rain plan in Newport; instead of moving your ceremony indoors to a plain ballroom, they just close the sides of the tents, and you still get the on-the-water Newport experience. Do NOT let the possibility of rain stop you from booking this place!
A couple of our guests put it best -- a wedding at Regatta Place feels fun and loose, yet organized and thoughtfully curated. It's the perfect way to showcase the beauty of Newport, while giving your guests a top-tier experience. We seriously can't recommend it enough!!”
