Newport in the fall is a very popular place and it is possible hotel room blocks can sell out! Don't worry there are many other great options that are all within walking distance to the Hotel Viking where transportation will be provided to and from the venue. Our personal favorites are: The Outlook Inn, Newport Harbor Hotel, or the The Mill Street Inn. If those sell out as well there are still a lot of options in town. Just don't wait too long to book! We also have a hotel block at the Holiday Inn in Middletown which is about a 10 minute drive into downtown Newport. To book, call (401) 848-7128 and mention the McKenna/Jones Wedding Block (code: JON).
Our welcome reception on Thursday, October 13th starts at 8:30pm where we can say hello and kick off the big weekend! We will have some light bites but we recommend everyone get out and explore Newport's great restaurants before-hand if you can. Newport can be busy so reservations ARE RECOMMENDED. Some of our favorites restaurants close to the Welcome Event are the Midtown Oyster Bar; The Mooring Kitchen and Bar; and The Black Pearl.
We will be providing transportation to and from the reception from both the Hotel Viking and the Holiday Inn Express- Middletown. If the Hotel Viking sells out, don't worry! As was noted above there are many other hotels in Newport that are within walking distance to get to the Hotel Viking for transportation. More details will be provided as we get closer to the big day! We are not providing transportation to and from the ceremony at St. Josephs Church but there is ample parking if you chose to drive. Uber/lyft is a great option and the Church is walkable from the Hotel Viking if you are adventurous (0.5miles).
