Regatta Place

ft raving about the food and service. They made sure every detail I imagined came to life. They made planning and executing my wedding a breeze even though I lived hours away. It is such a perfect Newport venue, my guests couldn’t believe it.

th sailboats going by and the ceremony and reception underneath stunning tents. But even moreso than how beautiful it is is the STAFF. The RP team is the most impressive, kind, professional, and supportive team we would have ever imagined. Working with Suzanne from the start, then Maggie for all of the coordination, and Jessica and the day of team - they are organized professionals who brought our dream to life. I wish I could give them a 10000000/5 stars. I could not recommend Regatta Place more, and I am so thankful to the amazing team that brought the best day of our lives together!

cious, from the passed hors d'oeuvres to the stations during cocktail hour to the steak and salmon entrees and finally the dessert table. Our guests loved the food. But the highlight throughout our entire experience was the service. Susanne and Maggie did an amazing job helping us to create our vision and then make it happen, and the day of staff was on top of it. Massimo took amazing care of me and my wife, and everyone raved about the servers and bartenders and everyone behind the scenes that made the day possible. Thank you so much for giving us the best day of our lives!

blew us away. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing on our big day because their team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. A special shoutout to Maggie, Jess, and Kayley -  these three were so kind and truly a pleasure to work with! To top it all off, the venue itself is just incredible. Being completely surrounded by the water and boats no matter where you look made the entire night feel magical.

le I've ever met and Caitlin and Jess are PHENOMENAL. I met the latter the day before our wedding and left feeling like I had known them my whole life. The staff are knowledgeable, extremely detail-oriented, organized, and KIND! They treated our wedding day as if it were their own. During the day itself, the bustle on my dress kept coming undone. Jess pulled me a number of times until we securely fashioned it back in place—she was always watching to make sure I was okay and didn't need anything. I cannot thank her enough. A few of our guests actually told me they were taking notes for their own weddings after watching the coordinators take care of each and every detail during cocktail hour and reception. And if you're a foodie, look no further. Loved ones told us it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding, even the picky ones! To summarize, this venue has everything to offer for an unforgettable day. We have NO NOTES and absolutely nothing negative to say about the entire experience. We would do it all again in a heartbeat. Thank you Regatta Place, we love you!!!

room, but also for our families and bridal party. They were attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about making the day seamless and special. From the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception — was absolutely perfect. Our guests are still raving about the incredible food, drinks, and setup. The ambiance at Regatta Place is unbeatable, especially the dock area, which was beautifully arranged with couches and tables. It created such a warm, inviting atmosphere for everyone to relax and enjoy the view. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day, and that’s largely thanks to the amazing team at Regatta Place. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stunning waterfront location, exceptional service, and a stress-free experience. We truly wish we could do it all over again!

NE commented on how good the team was, how beautiful the venue is, how delicious the team was, etc. Genuinely such a good experience, definitely consider them high on the list if you're planning! 

e. The Event Manager, Kay, was exceptional. Not only was she professional & attentive, she was so much fun to have around and made the whole experience 10 times better than it could have been. The servers were also amazing, making sure we always had food or drinks whenever our hands were empty, I forget her name but it was a younger girl, name also beginning with a K or C, she was so sweet and great at the job. The gouda cheese on the cheese board? Out of this world. Thank you Regatta Team, you are amazing!

f which were unconventional, so that they all went off without a hitch. As a bride, it was important to me to truly be present and enjoy the evening. Maggie, Kay, and the entire team made that possible by having every detail (and more) covered inside and out. They worked seamlessly with the few outside vendors we had, and we did not have to sweat anything day-of. The food throughout the evening was fabulous! We had a few guests with tricky dietary restrictions and it was no trouble at all to ensure they were set for each portion of the evening, from the bar to cocktail hour to dinner and dessert. Finally, the setting and venue itself are truly stunning. We held our ceremony and cocktail hour aboard the Schooner Aurora and the reception at Regatta Place. Sailing back to the dock to see the twinkling lights under the tent in the “blue hour” just after sunset was magical. We did almost no decor because the decor they have is beautiful on its own! Celebrating with your friends and family in the heart of Newport Harbor, surrounded by the water and beautiful boats, is magical. If you have the chance to work with this team you should take it! We would do it all over again if we could, and highly recommend Regatta Place and all of the Newport Experience team and venues. Thank you, Maggie, Kay, and team!!

anne, Maggie, Kay and Kat are a phenomenal team. No detail was left out, no task was too hard to do. We could not imagine having a better venue or team for our wedding. The views were gorgeous, the reception space was so elegant and inviting. We truly appreciated being able to make our space unique and our own. And, they worked so well with all of our vendors, even accommodated our Uhaul-worth of event items!! Hahaha.. thank you thank you thank you..

rt. We live here, and many of our guests also live on Aquidneck Island. Several of them commented on how cool it is to see the city from this point of view - an angle we don't really get anywhere else - and to watch the boats pass by in the harbor. It also was more than comfortable for our 150 guests. Plenty of space in the tent and on the dance floor. The Regatta staff, Maggie, and Kayley were incredible to work with - both had such calming presences. Maggie was kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable from day one. As we worked with her to plan the day, she was helpful in areas we hadn't even thought of, and made sure we could add several unique and special touches to our day (even something that may seem simple - like easily just switching out a beer option to add Whaler's Rise, a beer we both love and know many of our guests love, meant so much). She was always available for questions leading up to the day, and several bridesmaids commented on how great she was at rehearsal and ceremony time - even when it was "go time" she was super calm and nothing felt too rushed or too "serious" - the exact vibe we wanted to curate! Keep the day moving, but keep things light and fun. Kayley is truly an unsung heroine - everything from helping us unload and store items, to making sure we all have what we need, to making pivots as the weather changed through the day, to helping hold a bouquet or bustle my dress - she was there. Both of our families spoke so highly of her. On wedding day (and since), several guests asked if I was nervous walking down the aisle and I was not at all! Kayley waited around the corner with my parents and I and kept conversation casual -- I think if we stood there with our thoughts we all could've gotten nervous, but Kayley kept our minds occupied! It really is the little things that add up. The whole staff is SO attentive, we were always taken care of and we really appreciated having food and drinks ready for us in the suite and getting checked on! They also took our decor and crushed it! It was so nice to not have to even think about the space - they set it up so lovely, also to know that the staff is a well-oiled machine! They know how to handle weather and were able to move some of the tables and signage around as the night went on and things stayed dry. I could go on and on!! We are so grateful and I wish we could relive our wedding at Regatta every weekend - I would 1000% recommend.

had about seven months to plan, and her positivity, guidance, and encouragement played a major role in helping us decide to move forward. She was simply incredible. Maggie was amazing throughout the entire planning process—walking us through every detail, especially food and beverage, to ensure our event was flawless. Her attention to detail and responsiveness made all the difference. On the day of, Kay was a total star. She ran the show seamlessly and made the entire morning stress-free. She didn’t miss a beat, and thanks to her, the day flowed perfectly. The entire staff at The Regatta Place was phenomenal. Multiple guests commented on how friendly, professional, and on top of things everyone was. The service was top-notch and made the evening unforgettable. And the food—people are still talking about it. It was absolutely delicious and a highlight of the night, which meant so much to us. We really wanted a great culinary experience for our guests, and they nailed it. Finally, the view. The setting is breathtaking—something truly special that elevated the whole experience. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. The Regatta Place made the process so easy and brought our vision to life. If you’re considering Regatta Place for your wedding, just know: you’ve hit the jackpot!

in New England, but kept coming back to Regatta Place. Not only was it literally on the water but it was such a unique location with the most gorgeous views of the Newport Harbor and downtown. The staff was absolutely amazing through the whole process. Living abroad and planning a wedding stateside was not the easiest, but Maggie was always there to answer my million emails. Kay on the day of made sure everything ran smoothly and made us feel so special. Our personal server was also amazing and made sure we were constantly fed and hydrated and would always check in with us to make sure we were enjoying the evening and that everything was going the way we liked. I highly recommend Regatta Place!

to work with, and such a professional. She is extremely organized, and was flexible with our budget and vision. Kay, our day of coordinator, was on top of the schedule and everything went without a hitch, and right on time. The dinner service was quick and delicious, and Legends of Summer put on the a phenomenal set. It was certainly the best night of my life, and I could not recommend this place more if you want to have the party of the year.

tive throughout the planning process and especially on our big day. I would highly recommend the Regatta Place, it has beautiful views, very good food, and wonderful staff and coordinators. My husband and I are so happy we chose this venue for our wedding.

rom vendors to food options. The day of our wedding was pure bliss - Maggie, Kay and the team constantly checked in on us, made sure we ate and always had a drink in hand. I can’t recommend this venue and their team enough. A sincere thank you for making our day so special and memorable.

I was truly blown away. Not only is the location, views, and atmosphere stunning but the food was amazing! The seafood was so fresh and things were served warm to taste. The displays were absolutely gorgeous and guests seemed to notice nothing was left bare or unsightly. Despite the rain, the Regatta staff did everything they could to ensure it was perfect. Having several umbrellas, keeping the floors dry, and truly staying on top of every detail. We wish we could go back and relive this day. A special shout out to Kay, who was absolutely wonderful! One moment that stuck out to me particularly is when the bustle on my dress came off and I pulled a bridesmaid to help, Kay saw, and immediately came over to help reinforce the dress. She grabbed safety pins and was on the wet floor pinning my dress up for me. Her attentiveness and willing to help was exceptional. Emily, our personal server, was also fantastic and kept us well fed and always had a fresh drink in our hands without hesitation! I could not recommend this venue enough if you’re looking to get married in Rhode Island!

al, cannot recommend it enough.

o get it so no family would have to miss the ceremony. There was on and off rain during our reception and staff quickly adjusted the tent and umbrellas appeared out of nowhere. Maggie and Kay- I have no words, they are superb. Get married here, you will not regret it.

ll as the more casual outdoor areas for use from cocktail hour through the rest of the night. The staff was easy to work with and wonderfully attentive through our night. Maggie, the GM and catering director, was great to work with and helped to ensure every detail of our day went smoothly.

om the outset, Maggie, Kay, Amanda, and others made clear that they were invested in delivering the wedding experience that we wanted, without selling us on anything that didn't fit with our budget or plan. We had complete freedom to dress up the space we want and incorporate the elements we wanted, all in the beautiful backdrop that is Newport Harbor. It is probably worth mentioning that, in our case, we decided to host the wedding without a planner. This was a little daunting on our end, but the Regatta team quickly demonstrated that they would be there to support every aspect of planning -- from vendor selection and coordination to catering to decorations and more, Maggie was instrumental in keeping us on schedule and helping us execute (all while continually putting us at ease). However much or little you need the Regatta team, they will be there. In terms of the day of the wedding, Maggie, Kay, and team could not have been better. We never expected to say that our wedding day went off without a hitch -- but that's exactly what happened. The rehearsal, ceremony, and following reception all flowed seamlessly, on schedule, and without issue, and our guests repeatedly went out of their way to let us know personally how exceptional the dinner and drink service was -- including rave reviews for both the hors d'oeuvres and entrees. In sum, go with Regatta Place. The venue is beautiful, the team is superb, and your wedding day will be everything you're hoping for. We cannot recommend it enough!

w stunning our wedding was. The food is delicious as well! What I truly cannot say enough about is how great the coordinators are! Maggie worked with us nearly a year planning our perfect day and answering all of our questions. She had everything we could have needed to make the day go perfectly. Kay, our day of coordinator made the day so stress free and enjoyable for my husband and I, even helping us secure something we did not think we could get. The staff is SO attentive and kind. The venue has everything you could want and more to make the day perfect!

eauty of the venue and make the choices that were right for us and our budget. Then working with Maggie, the catering director, who was just excellent. She was responsive, patient, and so kind, never making us feel rushed. But nothing compares to the magic of the wedding day itself-- WOW. We were so lucky to have Kay as our day of coordinator and Kayley as our personal server, and both of them went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect day. They gently checked in with us throughout the day and night to make sure we had food, drinks, and that everything was going smoothly. Kay even put my veil in for me. They took such good care of us, and their positivity, kindness, and hospitality is unmatched! It was such a magical day. It rained a little bit during the day, and we didn't even notice (that is until a rainbow came out over the sky). We can't recommend this venue enough! Every member of the staff is a gem. They really know what they're doing.

in the winter we could tell just how special Regatta Place was. Gayle gave it to us straight and never made us feel pressured. She got us in contact with our florist (Secret Garden) and our DJ Joe (Sounds Buono) About 6 months out from our day we started to work with Maggie, and there are no words to say just how amazing she is! She calmed my nerves and answered every question I had (which was a lot). Every email was quickly answered with a ton of detail, I wish I had her in my daily life! Finally, we met Kay, our event manager the day of the wedding. She was incredible!!! She made my day perfect and I am forever grateful. I can’t say enough how special this venue and its people are. I’ve received so many compliments on my wedding (especially the views and food) and it’s honestly thanks to everyone at Regatta Place. They know how to put a bride at ease and make the day so seamless. My day even started out pouring rain, and then cleared up in time for our ceremony and reception. Kay and Maggie had my back the entire time! This is the most amazing place to get married and I would recommend it to anyone!

. Maggie and Kay help make sure your day is flawless and are the kindest, easiest people to work with. I would recommend Regatta Place as well as their team to any person considering them for a wedding venue.

planning. Leading up to the day, Maggie was always a quick email for any random questions I had. She is responsive, always available, and a great source for vendor questions. At our final details meeting a few days before the big day, we met Kay, our event manager. She absolutely killed it! I gave her a vision board of my decor ideas and she delivered seamlessly. She helped me buckle my shoes when i accidentally ushered everyone out of the bridal suite. She made sure my husband and I sat down to eat (which we didn't think we were going to need to be reminded to do this but let me tell you.. you do!) & she made sure all of my guests (that were supposed to) made it on the bus at the end of the night. I would recommend this venue not only because of its one- of- kind dock/coastal vibes and its view of downtown Newport, but for their amazing attentive staff. They're so good at what they do!

ttable, and easily the best day of our lives. I cannot recommend this venue and these wonderful people enough. We are truly so grateful for everyone who made our vision come to live. Newport and Regatta Place will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Our sales manager, Galen, suggested we tour Regatta and we fell in love with the beautiful seaside setting immediately, even in the middle of January! She was there after booking offering vendor suggestions and even on our wedding day offering best wishes. Maggie, the catering manager, was amazing throughout the planning process, always available answering any questions we had in a prompt manner. She guided us through our rehearsal, offering suggestions on ceremony/reception details we didn’t even think of. I was made to believe wedding planning was stressful but Maggie and her team made it so straightforward and easy! Kay our day of coordinator, has such an eye for detail, was so kind, and took the stress out of planning for the unknown of the day. Kayley was our event attendant and was so attentive the entire night taking care of myself, my husband, and our families. The entire waitstaff/valet team were incredibly friendly. All of our guests loved the incredible food (a rarity at weddings!), the kind staff, and the beautiful venue. Regatta is a special place that has truly perfected the art of wedding planning and execution. HIGHLY recommend Regatta for your dream Newport wedding!!! Photo credits: Lane Caroline Photography

r! Maggie and Kay our day of coordinators were so professional. I upgraded to the white and gold package and HIGHLY recommend this, they made the venue stunning!! I had ZERO worries the day of my wedding which as a bride rarely happens, I was so confident in the Regatta team. I can not recommend Regatta Place enough our wedding was perfect and the Regatta Team went above and beyond!!

during our entire planning process, and we always felt like we were in great hands. They always provided thoughtful, detailed responses to our questions and they went above-and-beyond to help us create an experience that was unique to us. Even when it rained, Regatta had a great backup plan in place — and we and our guests were still able to enjoy the beautiful dockside and waterfront aspects of the venue. The service throughout our reception was incredible – and our guests raved about how friendly and attentive the Regatta team was. We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding and we are so grateful to Susanne, Maggie, Kay and the whole Regatta team for helping to make everything so lovely! 10/10 we’d work with Regatta again, and recommend them to a friend!

y to work with! They went above and beyond to make sure everything was special for our wedding day and you could see they truly cared about us and wanted everyone to have the best time. It was truly the best experience and they did so much to ensure everything ran smoothly which was so appreciated! I cannot recommend them enough!

ta was quick with umbrellas and additional tents to make sure the guests were all covered. The location and views are perfect. In my opinion, nothing has a better setting for a wedding than Regatta.

nd actually fun! They provide a timeline and the day of planner who helps guide you through the day! 10/10 would highly recommend!

of the way. They made sure everything was perfect! We could not have asked for a better day!
