“From our first conversation with Lauren at Gardiner House, we knew we had found the right venue. She and her team were incredibly responsive to every question we threw at them about hosting a May wedding in New England, especially when it came to planning an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour with unpredictable weather. What impressed us most was how they truly understood the vibe we wanted—they anticipated that our guests would want to dance and grab drinks easily, and designed the space to make that happen seamlessly. Even though we were at the high end of their guest capacity, Lauren offered creative layouts and solutions that made everyone comfortable and kept the energy flowing all night long. The coastal charm of Gardiner House combined with their thoughtful attention to detail meant there was nothing left for us to worry about. We can't recommend them enough.”

Regatta Place 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Newport, RI
  • Up to 180 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Outdoor

Experience the height of coastal luxury at Regatta Place, a premier waterfront destination situated on Newport’s historic Goat Island. Steeped in Rhode Island’s rich sailing tradition, this exclusive venue offers browsing couples an unparalleled nautical backdrop for their wedding celebrations. Surrounded by classic luxury yachts and the sparkling Atlantic, the property provides a sophisticated atmosphere where sea breezes and harbor views take center stage. Whether you are hosting an elegant reception or a seaside ceremony, Regatta Place combines historic maritime charm with modern elegance for an unforgettable Newport wedding experience.

“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!!”

“OceanCliff Hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we reached out, the staff, especially Alison and Taylor, were incredibly responsive and great listeners as we planned our special day. The venue itself is open, stunning water views, breath taking sunsets and beautifully appointed with fireplaces that created a warm and cozy atmosphere. We got married last month, January, and our guest could not stop telling us how much they loved the fireplaces and views. I chose this venue because of the fireplace, views, and chandeliers. I scheduled our ceremony during the sun set and it was more than I could have ever expected. The food was amazing, and the entire team worked efficiently to ensure our wedding day went off without a hitch. I did add the clam chowder and clam cakes to our cocktail hour and all the guests have raved about how good the clam cakes were! In my opinion they are better than Iggy’s. Yes, I said that! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate our marriage. I highly recommend doing the ceremony and taking pictures during the sunset! We highly recommend OceanCliff Hotel to any couple looking for a stunning backdrop and attentive service for their wedding. Pick this venue now! This is your sign! :)”

“Our August 2026 wedding at Merrill's on the Waterfront was incredible! From our first inquiry and visit, to probably hundreds of emails, questions, and updates in between, Victoria was the best coordinator anyone could ask for. Her responsiveness, communication, knowledge, and enthusiasm made every single question go answered and every detail was executed exactly as we had hoped. I don't think you could find a venue with a more response and helpful coordinator than Victoria! We went with the full buyout option and are so happy with how the flow and structure of the day went, with plenty of space for our guests to mingle, dance, and have a great time. With nearly all guests coming in from out of town, the location with the hotel right across the street and so many things to do downtown in walking distance (plus waterfront views of course) made Merrill's the perfect choices for us. Hands down the best wedding venue in New Bedford!”

Every detail was seamless, and we felt so incredibly cared for throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day. Mike Collins was absolutely amazing to work with. From the very beginning, he was supportive, responsive, and incredibly attentive to every detail. He made the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free, and we always felt confident that our day was in the best hands. When the big day finally arrived, everything flowed so naturally and seamlessly. From the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception, every transition was perfect! The post-ceremony boat ride was truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. Getting to spend that time together on the water immediately after saying “I do,” with our guests waving from the balcony was a moment we will never forget. It was so uniquely Cape Cod and felt like something straight out of a movie. The venue itself is STUNNING- the views, the atmosphere, the food, and the overall Cape Cod charm are unmatched. Every member of the staff was incredible and went above and beyond to make sure we and our guests were happy, comfortable, and having the best time.

“We truly cannot say enough amazing things about White Cliffs! From the planning process all the way through our wedding day, everything was incredible. Cheryl and Sara were absolutely amazing; so professional, kind, and organized, and they made the entire day run so smoothly. We received so many compliments from our friends and family about how beautiful the venue was, how great the food was, and how much fun everyone had. We especially loved having the outdoor space with the fire pits and the gazebo that turned into a cigar lounge at night. It gave our guests, both young and old, so many different spaces to enjoy throughout the night. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to get married and are so grateful to Cheryl, Sara, and the entire White Cliffs team for making our day so special.

From our first conversation, the team communicated with us in a clear and efficient way, always responding quickly to our questions.

“We used the Tree Top Room. A little under 100 guests. The outdoor ceremony space is beautiful. It’s deceiving because we were wondering how our guests would fit but it was more than enough. It’s also shaded which was perfect for a hot day. Wedding packages are very inclusive and don’t leave a lot for you to worry about. We went with the Ruby package which included 4 passed apps, a cheese and fruit display, champagne toast, salad course, choice of 3 entrees, wedding cake allowance and center pieces for the reception tables(sweet heart table was an extra fee but was reasonable). We added a late night snack station as well. We worked with Janet and had a Day of coordinator, banquet captain and a bridal attendant. The entire staff were absolutely amazing. We got so many compliments from our guests about how smoothly everything went, how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was. If you are looking for an all inclusive place that will literally do everything and take away any chance of stress.. I cannot recommend them enough!! They really know what they are doing!”

“We got married at the Haley Mansion on September 12th, and it was truly everything I’ve ever dreamed of. From the very first time my husband and I toured the venue, I just knew it was the place we were meant to get married. The property is absolutely stunning — so peaceful, elegant, and beautifully maintained. The mansion itself is breathtaking, and the view over the water made it feel like something out of a fairytale. We had the absolute best experience working with Joe, Zac, and Sue. They made our day beyond perfect! I mainly worked with Joe throughout the planning process, and he was amazing. He was always so easy to reach, quick to respond, and answered every single one of my questions (and there were a lot!). Joe went over every detail with us to make sure everything was perfect — and it truly was. He made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable, and I always felt heard and cared for. He also made sure everything on the day of the wedding was perfect. From the decorations, to checking on me to see how I was doing, to fluffing my dress before walking down the aisle, he didn’t miss a thing and it didn’t go unnoticed. I truly can’t thank him enough for the care and attention he put into our special day.  Zac was incredible too! He planned our rehearsal dinner, which turned out beautifully, and on the wedding day, he was there from beginning to end making sure everything ran smoothly. Thanks to Zac and Joe, every detail was flawless — not a single thing out of place. We even had an ice cream bar (which was a huge hit!), and Zac was the one serving ice cream to guests with the biggest smile. He went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for him. Sue, our officiant, made our ceremony so special and personal. She took the time to get to know us and really understood what we wanted. She added such a meaningful touch to our ceremony and made it feel like “us.” We also had the sweetest server, Kendra, who took such great care of us all night. She made sure our drinks were always full and that we had everything we needed. And oh my gosh — the food!! I can’t even begin to describe how good it was. We got so many compliments from our guests. Everything from the cocktail hour to the entrées was incredible. I had the filet mignon and my husband had the baked stuffed sole — both were to die for! Honestly, it was the best wedding food I’ve ever had. We also decided to have an after-party at Rock21, and it was the best decision! The food was delicious, the DJ kept everyone dancing, and our guests had an absolute blast. It was the perfect ending to the best day of our lives. From the very first meeting to the last dance, everything was perfect. The entire team at Haley Mansion put so much love, care, and attention into our day, and it truly showed. I can’t thank them enough for making our wedding day everything we’ve ever dreamed of and more.”

“We had our wedding at the Boat Shed last weekend, and I truly cannot say enough good things about our experience with Constellation Catering. They went above and beyond and completely exceeded our expectations. Mary, Chantelle, Amy, and Angela were absolute superstars. They took care of everything for us and were always one step ahead. They were patient, incredibly helpful, kind, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing they had everything handled. They completely transformed the Boat Shed for our reception, and it looked absolutely beautiful. We chose the salmon and short rib for our entrées, and everything was delicious and came out hot. The entire staff was organized and efficient, and dinner service ran so smoothly. There was no sitting around waiting forever between courses—they kept everything moving while still making the evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. From setup and service to cleanup at the end of the night, everything was handled quickly and seamlessly. We felt incredibly well taken care of from start to finish. If you have the opportunity to book the Boat Shed for your wedding, do not hesitate.

“I cannot say enough amazing things about the Mystic Yachting Club. It is truly a hidden gem within the beauty that is Mystic, CT. This all-inclusive venue has everything you need to build your perfect day. First of all, the structure is beyond stunning. The wood work and coloring is perfection for a New England coastal wedding. Beyond that, it sits right on the river with gorgeous boats right off the back deck. Beyond it’s beauty, the staff are a dedicated team of professionals who are truly there to make your day exactly what you want it to be. Working with Aimee was honestly one of the best parts of the planning process. Her knowledge and professionalism made me incredibly confident in our day from beginning to end. She was always there to answer a question or talk me off the ledge. When it looked like the Nor’Easter was going to rip through CT, she and Mary (also amazing) calmly provided my husband and myself with our options. Mary, our day of coordinator was also wonderful! She was organized, on time, and knew exactly how to keep the ship moving! The entire staff at the yacht club were wonderful people who were excited to celebrate with us. Their kindness went a long way with us. Thank you, Mystic Yacht Club for making our crazy day perfect.”

Nestled on Rhode Island's southeastern coastal edge, Little Compton is home to historic properties dating back to the 18th century alongside stunning waterfront settings.
