“We hosted both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding at the Galilee Beach Club, and it was everything we hoped for and more. Honestly, we didn’t even know we wanted a beach club wedding when we started planning—we just knew we wanted Narragansett beach vibes. As soon as we saw this venue, we knew it was the perfect fit. The food was incredible. From the very start, the tasting event gave us such a fun preview, and it only got better on the actual wedding weekend. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! We also decided to book our florals through the venue, and that was such a smart choice—the arrangements were stunning and perfectly matched the vibe we wanted, all without the stress of juggling another vendor. A huge shoutout goes to Emily, who was with us every step of the way. She answered countless questions, kept in touch with multiple email check-ins, and made sure every detail was thought of. On the wedding day itself, she was a total rockstar—calm, attentive, and making sure everything ran seamlessly. Even when a light drizzle came through, she and the team handled it effortlessly and kept the energy high. The rest of the staff was equally amazing. Everyone was so professional, kind, and genuinely fun to be around—it made the whole weekend feel so comfortable and celebratory. And of course, the venue itself is absolutely beautiful. We had about 100 guests, and having our ceremony right on the beach was the perfect mix of relaxed and romantic. The setting made for such a special backdrop, and it felt like the true Narragansett beach wedding we always envisioned (even before we realized we wanted a beach club!). We are beyond grateful we chose the Galilee Beach Club. From planning to the final sendoff, the entire experience was flawless. If you’re dreaming of a wedding with amazing food, incredible staff, and the most gorgeous beach setting, this is the place.”

“I attended Camp JORI for many years as a camper, staff member, administrator, and volunteer. Camp JORI is such an amazing camp, helping with scholarships for families that can’t afford it while providing the same amazing experience for all children. Camp JORI is not only an amazing camp, but is truly a home away from home for me and many other alumni and current campers. I love Camp JORI so much that my wife and I decided to have our wedding there! It was the most magical day of our life and getting to spend it at Camp JORI’s beautiful property was not only heartwarming, but amazing to marry the person I love most at the place that feels the most like home to me.”

“From day one Regatta Place was the best! From Susanne helping us find the perfect venue within the Newport Experience Group, to Maggie & Maggie helping us along the way and on our wedding day. Even with COVID they were amazing; they kept us informed as to the ever changing state-mandated regulations and let us know how they were adapting to comply with the new rules. On the day of the wedding I had zero stress because everything had been going so smoothly that I had no worries about anything. They helped with the flow of the evening and made sure that my husband and I were well taken care of. Additionally, I heard from several guests how impressed they were with the safety precautions Regatta Place had taken for COVID and how safe/comfortable they felt that they ended up staying longer than they had planned to. I highly recommend the Regatta Place! Thank you for everything.”
