Stunning Views and Location

The space was absolutely beautiful. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the atmosphere. I’m incredibly grateful for how perfect everything turned out.

Perfect day! What a view!

We tied the knot on Saturday evening at the Officers' Club with 200 of our friends and family. Affordable and accommodating-- you absolutely could not beat the epic view!!! Not that we got to see it on our wedding day since it rained! But that can't be helped--- last minute as the sky opened up, the staff helped move us into the constellation room and although we weren't right by the ocean, the windows lined the room including the view. It was very magical inside as well.

The team was wonderful!!! MOD Keith was awesome! Bartenders were amazing! As a bride, it was so great being stress-free and showing up to such a beautiful day! Highly recommend!

Perfect Venue with a View

We held our wedding reception at the Officers Club and could not have been happier! The view from the venue is stunning, and our guests loved watching the sunset across the bay from the outdoor patio attached to the ballroom. The room layout was very practical, allowing for a good flow to the room with the bar set in the perfect location to accommodate both the cocktail hour and the reception. The space is also handicap accessible and easy to navigate, which ensured several loved ones were able to participate in the celebration with little trouble. The staff members at the O Club were competent, flexible and easy to work with. Would highly recommend using the O Club for any special events!

We were so happy with this venue. If you are able to book this venue, DUE SO! The view is SPECTACULAR, food phenomenal, the room is recently re done and can accommodate big weddings. I cannot say enough about the staff, not only the coordinator, but even the staff the night of our wedding. Guests are still talking about the venue

If I could give this venue 10 stars I would! Shawna is just amazing to work with, plain and simple. From the moment my fiance and I met her we felt like we had known her for years...she makes you feel that welcomed! Throughout the entire year leading up to our wedding she kept in touch and helped me keep all the craziness of planning a wedding under control. I'm actually disappointed the wedding is over and I have no reason to email her anymore, she's a total sweetheart. The venue itself is gorgeous, right on the water with a beautiful view. The day of the wedding Kelly oversaw both the ceremony and reception and she did amazing. She checked in with us frequently and even went out of her way to get us new, hot meals after our original dinners had gone cold while we went around thanking guests. The wait staff was awesome, very quick and super friendly. All our guest told us how funny and sociable the bar tenders were. Overall GREAT service was provided. I was SO nervous about the food because we were not able to do a tasting prior to our event (which you now can!). Let me tell you the food was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had the classic surf and turf and the chicken oscar as our entrees...every single guest raved and raved and RAVED about the food. We chose to serve our guests a sheet cake made by their kitchen and I can honestly say it was just as good, if not better, than the wedding cake we had made for us. If you're able to get married in such a beautiful location I would definitely recommend the Officer's Club. Thank you so much Shawna!

If you know anyone in the Navy I would highly recommend the Officer's Club. The food was reasonable and the guests said they enjoyed the view. Shawna was very helpful with the planning process and listened to all of ideas. Kelly was there the day of as a 'day of wedding planner' and did a great job. The room is beautiful full of chandeliers and a beautiful fountain. You cannot beat the outdoor deck view of the ocean and all of the boats in the pier. The staff was very kind, accommodating, and professional. It was a great location for our fairy tale wedding.

Wonderful food. Great service. Exceptional value for the area. There was some unexpected last minute construction of the building as it was being sandblasted and painted. We were a little disappointed as it was unannounced and detracted somewhat from the amazing view, but hopefully it'll be finished before effecting too many other brides. Otherwise, it was a perfect venue for us.

The catering manager, Shawna, was super helpful during the planning process and always answered my emails very quickly. The whole process was really smooth and easy. They worked with us on the menu to incorporate vegan h'ordeuvres and handled our guest's dietary restrictions with ease. At our reception, all of the staff were very helpful and everything went perfectly. We got a lot of compliments on the food and the view outside can't be beat.

There is nothing finer than to have the privilege to celebrate your wedding day at the Commissioned Officer's Club. Just the history of the War College that is easily visible and the Newport Bridge that sits right at your feet during such an important day is enough to make you feel at ease and excited for the day to arrive! The staff is always attentive and the room is nothing short of perfection. For over 28 years I have photographed at the Officers' Club and each and every time is exceptional!
