Beautiful hair and make up!

I went there along with my bridal party to get our hair and make up done. They did such an amazing job! Elena did my hair and she really made it perfect! My hair stayed for the whole day despite the hot weather! Thank you! Also, Katie did my make up and she did a fantastic job! She made it look beautiful and natural at the same time! I can’t thank the hair stylists and make up artists there enough! They made everyone look amazing! Everyone left happy!

Perfect in every imaginable way!

My husband and I had our wedding at the Newport Marriott this August and we could not have imagined a more perfect day! For starters, the venue is beautiful, so we were already off to a great start. The service and the staff here are unmatched. From the front desk team to our events team, each person went above and beyond to make our day incredibly special. We had the pleasure of working with Chelsea on our big day and we so thankful for everything she did! Chelsea is warm, professional, detail oriented, organized and so calm and collected! She made the entire planning process an absolute breeze. From customizing our package to ensuring that not a single detail was overlooked, she really helped us pull together our vision. The execution of this day was beyond anything I could have ever expected. Chelsea and our bridal attendant Celio were incredible the day of. We did not worry about a single thing the entire day. Chelsea was with me for every big moment to make sure things were going perfectly. Even when my hair fell out after my first look, she was right there perfectly calm, helping me over to the salon to have it pinned back up. Her easy-going demeanor relieved so much stress for my husband and I, we can’t thank her enough! Celio was also a godsend! He was the nicest guy and put so much care into our night, from helping us gather the troops for the entrances, to fluffing my dress and calming my nerves before I walked down the aisle, to making sure that my husband and I ate. He didn’t skip a beat. Celio is truly a gem, the exact person every couple needs on their wedding day. Both Celio and Chelsea are everything you look for when you are booking your wedding. Invested in every single moment from the second you walk in the door to the moment you check out. I could quite literally go on for paragraphs about every other detail, the food, the rooms, the service, the flawless flow of events. All of these making our day the BEST wedding we could have imagined. Most importantly, the staff at this hotel didn’t just make my husband and I feel special and appreciated on this amazing weekend, they made all our guests feel this way. Our friends and family have not stopped raving about the entire weekend, and we can’t thank everyone at the Newport Marriott enough for making this an unforgettable experience.

Extremely professional and elegant venue for a wedding! Would highly recommend!

Details about our wedding:
- 120 guests
- Held our indian wedding at the Marriott
- Held Ceremony in atrium
- Held luncheon in banquet halls on second floor.

I worked with Chelsea Clouse, the in-house event coordinator through my planning process here at the Marriott. She was professional and prompt in her responses. She knew exactly what she was looking for in terms of things we needed to accomplish based off a pre-wedding timeline which really helped us plan better. She was a great point of contact for the outside caterers we hired to cater the indian food for the indian wedding.

On the day itself, one of our main vendors for the setup of the stage and other decorations came short on some of the decor. The Marriott was able to help us through the stressful last minute task of decorating our sweetheart table in the banquet and the actual stage area for the ceremony. I was blown away with the efficiency and professionalism of the whole team. The sound service that we procured through the Marriott was also top notch.

Overall, would totally recommend this venue to couples looking for a professionally managed, beautiful wedding ceremony.

Wonderful Wedding

We had a lovely wedding at the Newport Marriott. We felt the package options were great and the level of service was wonderful. The provided a very detailed order of events that was helpful to me and all of our vendors. The food was very good. Also, it was terrible weather the day of our wedding, which ended up working out just fine because there are so many nice spots to get photos throughout the hotel.

We absolutely loved every aspect of having our wedding ceremony and reception at the Newport Marriott!! Our wedding was on New Year’s Eve and it was great having everything happen in one place, as well as having so many of our friends and family staying there with us for the weekend. We loved the location of this hotel, being right downtown and walking distance to all that Newport has to offer. We knew pretty much as soon as we walked in, after looking at other venues all weekend, that this was the place for us. The newly remodeled interior and subtle nautical vibes had us hooked. Katherine Bastien, the sales representative, was wonderful to work with and thoroughly answered all the questions we had about the venue. Although most venues in Newport are pricey, we found that the Newport Marriott was less expensive but just as classy, if not classier, when compared to the other places we looked into for a ceremony and reception site. The event coordinator, Chelsea Clouse, made everything about planning our wedding so much easier. She was always very responsive to our (at times, constant) emails, was super accommodating and flexible when it came to what we could do with the centerpieces and what we could bring in for décor for the ceremony and reception, and did an amazing job decorating those areas for us the day of. Our ceremony was in the atrium and was absolutely beautiful! Our reception was in the newly renovated ballroom, which was beautiful and had a modern but nautical theme to it. The food at our reception was delicious, people seemed very happy with the open bar and service, and overall our guests were definitely impressed with this venue. The service provided to us here was fantastic and made the day of as well as the days and weeks before our wedding so much less stressful than I had anticipated. If you are looking to have your wedding in Newport but don’t want to break the bank, we highly recommend the Newport Marriott!!

We are so glad that we choose the Newport Marriott for our wedding. I have visited several vendors in the Newport, Rhode Island, and Mass area. We needed a place that could fit anywhere from 215-300 ppl and still be affordable. The Newport Marriott was the place. They wowed me from the first visit to see the hotel. The Sales rep, Katherine Bastien was fantastic to work with. She was patient and very responsive to all my emails and inquiries. When we met in person she made me feel comfortable during a very exciting, but overwhelming process.
After we sign with them I started to work with Mary Lynn who was great during our tasting. She made sure to make notes of allergies and concerns. About 2 months before the big day Mary Lynn was promoted to another role. Normally this would be very stressful change but Chelsea Clouse took charge right away. She was extremely responsive to all of me emails. Even the night of the rehearsal dinner she responded at 9:30pm when I sent a last minute issue to her. Then during the wedding Celio’s was in charge of making sure the reception and cocktail hour moved seamlessly. He was attentive and fantastic with any question my husband and I had. And most importantly he was on top of us to make sure we ate! If you’d been married then you know the reception flies by, and you get caught up talking to everyone that was able to join you for the special day. It’s easy to forget to eat! From start to finish this team was fantastic to work with. They are professional, attentive, accommodating and truly helped make the process less stressful.
It couldn’t have been more perfect! I would definitely hire the Newport Marriott again. They are a beautiful venue in downtown Newport and will not break your bank!

The Spa at Newport Marriott was excellent! My bridal party and I had our hair done, and I had my makeup and mani/pedi done as well. I had Jen for all, and she was amazing and patient for both my trial and on my big day. The space is beautiful and calming. They ordered breakfast for us from the hotel restaurant (we had to pay, of course, but they brought it to us and took it away, which was very helpful!). The receptionist who I emailed and talked with was very responsive and helpful. They let us get ready there too. The prices are really reasonable, especially compared to others in the area. Parking is free and secure. There are great photo backdrops too, out on the pier in front of the boats, or in the hotel lobby by the fountains and hanging chairs.

This review is a year late but as they say, better late than never. My husband and I had a wonderful time with the events planning team at the Marriott Newport RI. From the time we met with Kate Bastien to book the wedding date to planning the wedding with Mary Lynn and to the actual wedding day with Celio, the experience was nothing but fabulous. This staff was very attentive and responsive. The food was amazing. Our guests loved every minute of it. We had a really great deal for what we paid for. I still think about the day and how everything was flawless. Major shout out to Mary Lynn for accommodating every request and to Celio for making sure everything went well during the day of the wedding (ceremony and reception!).
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
