Welcome Party

8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Resort evening — clean, stylish, and comfortable. Think what you’d wear to a nice dinner by the water.

We hope you'll join us for our Welcome Party as we kick off the wedding weekend! We've planned more than just drinks and hors d'oeuvres—expect a few interactive experiences, personalized keepsakes, and some delicious surprises throughout the evening. We would love to celebrate with everyone before the big day! We suggest grabbing a dinner reservation in Newport then walking over for the welcome event.
