Erin F. Married on 11/11/2022Romantic, Historic, Attentive, Absolute Perfection
From the moment we pulled up to Hotel Viking my fiancé and I fell in love. We were so impressed with the responsiveness and professionalism we experienced with the staff from our tour through checking out after our Wedding. Linda was amazing to work with and made the planning process feel effortless. She was extremely accommodating to any of our needs and requests for our day and helped bring our dream Wedding to life. We had our reception in the Viking Ballroom and held an after wedding bunch in the Thames room. The food was amazing and hospitality was exceptional. The staff were very attentive from the moment we checked in for the weekend and made sure everything was executed flawlessly. I highly recommend Hotel Viking to any couples looking for a romantic, historic, all in one venue.Hotel Viking's reply:
Thank you Erin!
Thank you so much for allowing us to bring your "dream wedding to life!" We love to hear those words! That is always our goal, and everyone at the Hotel Viking truly puts their heart and soul into every wedding that we host. So happy that you and Quinton have sweet memories that will last your lifetime. Please do come visit for many years to come!

Haley C. Married on 12/16/2022An absolute dream venue!
The Hotel Viking was an absolute dream! Throughout every part of the process, the staff went above and beyond to make our day special! Linda started out as our coordinator, and she was nothing but a class act. She’s a calming presence, and she was able to answer all of our questions (usually same day or next day!) Jordan took over as coordinator for the week of our wedding, and her professionalism not only met but exceeded our expectations! The front desk staff and valets were always friendly and welcoming. Chef Kevin’s food is unbelievably delicious! They also have immensely talented bartenders (big shoutout to Laura!) Kay Chapel is what initially drew me to the venue. It’s just as magical in person as it is in photos, and the Bellevue Ballroom gave us all of the classic Newport elegance! I could go on and on, but I’ll end with this: if you’re thinking about booking Hotel Viking for your wedding venue, you won’t regret it!Hotel Viking's reply:
Thank you Haley!
Your kind and sincere words mean so much to all of us, and we are so happy to hear that many aspects of your special day exceeeded the expectations of you and Michael! It was a pleasure to plan with you and see your "dream" wedding come to life at the Hotel Viking with the help of our Team! I will make sure to share your comments with everyone involved, and thank you for taking the time to share!
XO Linda Ferguson and Jordan Seim
