After looking at a few other venues for our wedding ceremony and reception we pretty much knew right away that we wanted to choose Fort Adams - and we're so happy we did! We had our ceremony on the West Lawn, cocktail hour in the casemates, and our reception under a tent on the North Lawn. We loved the variety and uniqueness that each section of the fort provided, and we loved being able to utilize it all! Moving our guests around these different spaces created a really cool (and absolutely gorgeous) experience for everyone. We also loved getting the opportunity to fire a cannon - definitely a memorable experience! The Fort Adams team was so wonderful to work with, always available for questions, and really helped us have the most awesome day!

Unbelievable Venue
One of the biggest decisions during wedding planning is your venue. Fort Adams should be at the top of your list when you are looking at venues. The possibilities are endless here and the team there is amazing. Trevor was the most accommodating, patient and organized person that we worked with throughout the wedding planning process. He answered every question we had with confidence and was there on the wedding day making sure everything we planned was going smoothly. The venue was beyond gorgeous and I can't emphasize enough how great the staff was. Absolutely book Fort Adams for your wedding!

Beautiful Venue for Any Size & Style
From our first site visit, Andrew and I saw ourselves getting married at Fort Adams. The variety of scenery Fort Adams provides is one of a kind. We have received so many compliments on how unique and beautiful the backdrops from our wedding photos were. With the Newport Bridge serving as our ceremony backdrop, followed by cocktails in the courtyard guests felt comfortable enjoy the outdoors. Due to the COVID restrictions, we had to downsized our wedding guest count. Silver lining was this allowing us to host our Reception in the Casemates. The exposed brick, enchanting lighting and historic charm created the perfect atmosphere for our intimate celebration. Thank you to Jen and the entire Fort Adams team for making October 10, 2020 a day we will never forget.
