Travel and Accommodations

Our wedding events will be held in downtown Newport at Our Lady of Mercy Chapel at Salve Regina University (ceremony) and Belle Mer on Goat Island (reception)! We have a room block at the Newport Harbor Island Resort on Goat Island, which is across the street (a 1 minute walk!) from Belle Mer. We also have room blocks at several more affordable hotels in Middletown, which is a short 10-15 minute drive or Uber from downtown Newport. We will provide shuttle service to and from our ceremony and reception for our guests staying in Middletown. There are also many wonderful hotels in downtown Newport, including the Newport Marriott, the Hotel Viking, the Vanderbilt, and Hammetts Hotel. These are all a short 5 minute drive or Uber from Belle Mer. For out-of-town guests, flying into TF Green or taking the train to Kingston will be the best options. Please note, our wedding is the same weekend as the Newport Car Show. We recommend booking accomodations and travel as early as possible.

Flight

Flying to Rhode Island (Providence - TF Green Airport)

TF Green is Rhode Island's main airport, located ~30 minutes away from downtown Newport where our wedding festivities are being held. It's easy to Uber from TF Green to Newport so car rentals aren't necessary. American Airlines and Southwest are the main airlines serving TF Green. There are also several flights on United and Delta from major hub cities. For our Washington DC friends - From DCA, there are a few direct flights per day on American and one direct flight per day on Southwest into TF Green. From BWI, there are several direct flights per day on Southwest. Flying into Boston Logan Airport is also an option, but Boston is located ~1 hour and 30 minutes from Newport. We'd advise renting a car and leaving plenty of time for travel if Boston is the best flight option.

Train

Train to Rhode Island

Amtrak's Northeast Regional rail stops in Rhode Island at Kingston and Providence stops. The Acela stops in Providence only. The Kingston stop is located ~30 minutes from downtown Newport. The Providence stop is located ~45 minutes from downtown Newport. Amtrak is a great option for those coming from Boston, NYC/NJ, or Philadelphia!
