I cannot say enough incredible things about Regatta Place. My (now) husband and I booked the venue without seeing it in person, as we live out of town. They worked around our schedules when visiting, and were extremely communicative throughout the process with us! It poured the entire weekend of our wedding, including the wedding day and they still made the place absolutely stunning. 2 weeks post wedding & Our guests even haven’t stopped telling us how amazing the staff and venue were! They made sure my husband and I were 100% taken care of 100% of the time throughout the night. They kept our food covered until we were ready to eat as it’s easy getting stopped by people greeting you. They made sure we had drinks as we needed them. We had our own space/bathroom to get away to when we needed a breather minute. The entire staff was friendly and again just I don’t know how to put into words how happy I am, and I’m especially grateful for Maggie!! Maggie coordinated EVERYTHING wedding related and even answered all the repetitive questions from family the day before. If I were able to go back knowing the outcome I would book regatta place a million times over again

Regatta Place checked ALL of our boxes for a wedding venue: Perfect location, quality customer service, 10/10 events team, amazing food and drinks, ceremony on site, on-site bridal suite and fantastic guest experience. From booking our date through Galen as we navigated the uncertainty of the pandemic, to working with Maggie, Kay and Jenny leading up to the big day and on the day-of, our experience with the Regatta team was fantastic. We loved our food and beverage tasting leading up to the wedding and the flexibility to adjust the menu to fit our group's needs. Detail meetings ensured everyone was on the same page and no questions were left unanswered. They run a tight ship and ensured our timeline was followed to a tee, not even rain could stop us! We can't thank Regatta Place enough for making our wedding day so special!!
The best!

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.
