I can't recommend Little Gold enough! Des and Sierra are absolutely wonderful to work with and the venue they have curated is perfect. The interior design is so effortlessly elegant, while also maintaining versatility for any special occasion. I have worked with Little Gold on many occasions and each time, I am impressed with how professional, yet personal their communication style is. Also, I haven't even mentioned the location! It is extremely walkable and perfect for a true Newport event.
