About

The Eisenhower House is a wedding venue located at Fort Adams State Park in Newport, Rhode Island. Originally built in 1873, it was the Summer White House for President Eisenhower during his administration. Today, it remains an elegant property with hilltop views of Narragansett Bay and Newport Harbor.

Facilities and Capacity

The Eisenhower House features beautifully designed rooms and an outdoor area that both offer a scenic backdrop for ceremonies and receptions. Couples are invited to celebrate their engagement party, wedding shower, and rehearsal dinner at the venue as well. To relax and prepare for their festivities, the happy couple is welcome to utilize the venue’s separate get-ready rooms. For an elegant reception, newlyweds and their loved ones can dine and dance in the mansion’s bright interior spaces. The building’s wrap-around porch allows guests to enjoy the open air and take in views of the nearby bay. For outdoor ceremonies, the lawn can be set up with chairs and floral arrangements, and a tent can be added to continue the celebration outside into the evening. Whether you’re enjoying a clambake during the summer or staying warm by the fireplaces in the winter, this venue sets the stage for long-lasting memories. With both indoor and outdoor spaces, the property can accommodate up to 1,000 people.

Services Offered

The staff at the Eisenhower House strives to help reduce stress on your big day. To do so, they can handle the setup and cleanup of your event. Tables and chairs are provided and can be arranged according to your ideal layout. Planning services are also available for navigation at each step of your wedding journey. Whether the property is blanketed in snow or illuminated by sunbeams, the venue offers a charming, New England backdrop for your wedding.

The perfect venue

My husband and I were married on 8.13.22 and it greatly exceeded our expectations. We wanted a venue that allowed for complete vendor customization without sacrificing the amazing views and ambiance that Newport has to offer. Eisenhower house has that in spades. Mallory was so helpful and communicative throughout the entire process and the day couldn't have gone more smoothly. A big bonus is that there is ample parking behind the house, so nobody had to stress about parking if they chose to drive to the venue. Another favorite part of the property is the stunning bridal suite, it is so worth it to book the extra hours to get ready in there. All in all, it was the perfect venue and I can't imagine us having our wedding anywhere else

Ideal Venue- Best of Rhode Island

Eisenhower House couldn't have suited our family's needs better! Mallory was an excellent guide and source of advice throughout the process. We were looking for a venue that showed the best that Rhode Island had to offer with plenty of room for customization and flexibility to account for our taste and changing pandemic-related travel conditions. Eisenhower House certainly fit the bill. Trish was an excellent day-of manager, keeping us on schedule and well organized.

The bride/groom "getting ready" suites were ideal. The view could not have been beat (we were so lucky with weather!). We loved the ability to choose and customize our vendors while still being grounded in a well-maintained, historic, and beautiful setting.

This venue offered flexibility and professionalism with classic New England charm. We would absolutely recommend it!

A stunning venue!

We were so lucky to have had our wedding at Eisenhower — not only is the venue stunning and allows for complete customization, Mallory was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very beginning. During what was a very challenging year with many changing restrictions, she made things as easy as possible and always made sure we knew all of our options so we could plan for different scenarios. She was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable and her strong connections with local vendors made me feel so confident that our wedding would be executed perfectly! We had the best day we could’ve imagined and owe so much of that to Mallory and her great recommendations and support along the way. Thank you for everything!
