Mr and Mrs Rizzo at Meadow Brook Inn were very easy to talk to throughout the planning process. The gorgeous grounds, both inside and out, created the perfect backdrop for our special day. The staff took such good care of us and catered to my elderly grandparents, making sure their needs were met. When I walked in and saw the amazing dining room, I started to cry - it was truly magical. Our special day couldn't have been any better, as the Meadow Brook Inn team took care of reviewing every detail of our wants and needs. I strongly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a magical wedding day.

Having my wedding at the Newport Marriott exceeded my expectations from start to finish. You can't beat the scenic location, unmatched convenience of having accommodations under the same roof to the staff that went above and beyond with every request big or small. I can't express enough how at ease I felt leading up to my wedding working with Rachel who was my events coordinator. Throughout my entire planning process, I could always count on her for a prompt response with answers to any questions I had or resolutions to any new requests and concerns I'd throw her way. Being able to have full trust in Rachel was really the greatest gift I could ask for. She made the process so stress-free and it's worth mentioning she's super sweet and a joy to be around! When I think back on my wedding, I'll always remember how helpful she was and how much that positively impacted the entire experience. Every staff member I worked with was incredibly helpful and pleasant. My guests rang their praises after the big day too. The food and bar service was top notch. I used the house centerpieces that were gorgeous. I hadn't a single worry about everything coming together the way I planned and pictured all because of the staff here. You will NOT regret having your wedding here. Your guests will love it, you'll have an amazing weekend and your planning process will be seamless.
