Things To Do
The Cliff Walk
Craving some nature and serenity? Newport's enchanting 3.5-mile Cliff Walk is the perfect place for your moment of peace. Panoramic ocean views, crashing waves and the perfect amount of sea breeze on one side and stunning, century-old, Gilded Age mansions on the other.
Newport Vineyards
There are over 100 acres of preserved farmland at Newport Vineyards to explore while sampling local beer and wine.
Newport Cruises
Newport cruises are a great way to relax and sight see with little effort. A favorite of the bride's is the Newport Mimosa and Lighthouse Cruise - you'll get bottomless mimosas and croissants, and gorgeous views of the Newport mansions and lighthouses :) The port where the cruise ships dock also offer excellent options for ocean-side dining and great shopping!
Downtown Newport/Thames Street
Downtown Newport offers great shopping, restaurants, bars, cafes, specialty stores and art shops. A great way to spend the day would be to start on Thames Street and walk down, exploring the historic homes and the prime-time Spring season in Newport.
Easton's Beach
If you are looking for an early summer beach experience, Easton's Beach is a gorgeous option that is within walking distance to local shops and restaurants. The Cliff Walk overlooks Easton's Beach, making the beach a great destination after your hike. Be sure to try the twin lobster rolls at the beach's snack bar!
The Bodhi Spa
Trying to save all your energy for the wedding? How about a spa day? The bodhi spa in Newport offers excellent massages and the water journey is a great way to unwind with sauna, hot tub, and thermal baths. Highly recommend :)

Question
What is the Dabke?
Answer
Our wedding will be a celebration of the coming together of cultures and families. To celebrate the bride's culture, we invite our guests to join in on the Dabke; a traditional Lebanese/Phoenician folk dance that has been passed down for generations. What started as a dance celebrating the harvest has evolved into a celebration and testament of a resilient and fun-loving people. We can't wait to share it with you!
