No. We ask that all guests make their way to the church on their own (via lyft/uber or walk!) and will provide transportation to the reception and back to the hotels.
Yes! After the ceremony, there will be about an hour before it's time to head to the Reception at the Eisenhower House. Once there ceremony has ended, make your way to the Newport Harbor Hotel and Marina (it's a 10 minute walk from the church). Between Bowen's Wharf and Saltwater Outdoor Bar, you'll find plenty to do during the time gap. Feel free to grab a drink at a pub or at the Saltwater Outdoor bar before you load the bus!
Yes! There is adequate parking at both the Church (the parking lot is behind the church) and The Eisenhower House! The Eisenhower House is less than a 10-minute drive from downtown Newport, but with summer traffic, we are estimating a 20-minute drive from St. Joseph's or a 15 minute drive from the Newport Harbor Hotel! You can also request an Uber to and from the Eisenhower House.
Yes! Starting at 10:00 pm, transportation from the reception will be provided to the after party as well as the Newport Harbor Hotel, America's Cup Inn, Sea Breeze Inn & Sonesta Select.
No! Newport is an incredibly walkable city and there are plenty of Uber and Lyft options! If you do choose to stay in Middletown (The Sea Breeze Inn or Sonesta Select/Quality Inn) those hotels are about 7-10 minutes away from downtown Newport so keep that in mind :)
Friday - For the Welcome Party on Friday, a dress shirt and slacks or khakis for men (no tie or jacket necessary), and a dress of any length or jumpsuit for women. For Saturday, join us in your summery semi-formal cocktail attire! Suits and cocktail dresses are welcome. The reception will be under a tent on the property so choose wisely when it comes to your shoes!
We love your children — we really do! But we want our wedding to be your 'weekend off'!
