Newport Vineyards

My guests, husband, and myself cannot stop raving about how amazing the Newport Vineyards team is! Lily was the venue coordinator and is amazing at what she does to ensure everything leading up to and happening on the big day was smooth and communicated. The food and drink have been complimented as the best wedding food that was filling and flavorful. The venue itself is stunning and spacious with great photo opportunities, highly recommend having you wedding here or any other event!

Our experience with Newport Vineyards was absolutely exceptional, and I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. From our very first visit, the staff demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail.

Chef Andy was extraordinary during our tasting—graciously accommodating all of our requests and even offering to prepare a family recipe if we wished. The meal he crafted for our wedding was nothing short of outstanding. We received countless compliments from our guests, many of whom said it was among the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding, and several remarked on the impressive size and quality of the steak entrée.

Lily was equally wonderful to work with. She was responsive, kind, and incredibly accommodating—even going above and beyond to adjust when I mistakenly scheduled our detail meeting on the wrong day. Her poise and flexibility made the entire planning process effortless and enjoyable.

The venue itself is breathtaking. The vineyard provided a stunning and romantic setting for our rustic bohemian September wedding, and every corner offered a perfect backdrop for photos. It was truly a dream come true, and I only wish we could go back and experience the day all over again.

We had our wedding at Newport Vineyards, and it was truly the most magical experience from start to finish. From the moment we first toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for us — stunning grounds, beautiful spaces, and such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Every corner of the venue was picture-perfect, and it created the most beautiful backdrop for our ceremony and reception.

The staff at Newport Vineyards were absolutely incredible, especially our event coordinator Lily. They went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day, and they were always so helpful and responsive during the planning process. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made us feel completely at ease, which meant we could just relax and enjoy every moment.

Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous the venue was and how well everything flowed. The food, the service, and the attention to detail were all exceptional. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding — it exceeded every expectation and helped create memories we’ll cherish forever.

If you’re looking for a venue that’s not only beautiful but also backed by a caring, professional team who truly love what they do, we couldn’t recommend Newport Vineyard more highly.

Lily, Jenna, and the entire Newport Vineyards team were outstanding to work with to plan and execute our wedding day. Professional, communicative, flexible, visionaries, friendly, transparent, and passionate are a few of the many words that come to mind when we think about describing the team. Many guests at our wedding and the months following have told us how our wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended, which can be attributed to the work of the vineyard.

After getting engaged in Newport, we stopped at the vineyard (as we have done many times before) for lunch on the way home. After discussing how we would like to get married in the Newport-area we thought maybe the vineyard could be on our wedding venue prospect list. We promptly booked a tour with Jenna, who honestly set the bar extremely high for our other venue tours. We just kept comparing everything to the vineyard and nothing measured up. Jenna was as hands on with the process as we wanted her to be, without pressuring us like we experienced at other venue tours, and patiently walked us through the reservation process once we landed on a date we wanted to book. She even served as our point of contact until our coordinator was assigned, where she was very responsive to any questions we had about the process or what to expect.

After booking, Lily was designated as our coordinator for our specific wedding date. Lily is so detail-oriented and helped us think through decisions before the thought even crossed our minds. She was prompt and responsive in her communications while also extremely patient with our numerous emails filling her in on details we decided on and asking, what had to have been, hundreds of oddly specific questions. Lily even helped communicate directly with vendors we hired when they had logistical questions for the vineyard. Our wedding planning process and day of logistics would not have gone as smoothly as they had without Lily. Her timeline had us operating like clockwork and it had to have been the most well operated wedding we have ever experienced. Importantly, she was an advocate for us as a couple and really listened to our needs to make our vision come to reality. We really empowered her to help pull the set up and decor concepts we had together which she executed above and beyond our expectations! Everyone told us that our wedding just felt like us, which really is an attribute to how much Lily listened to what we were hoping for not only in the decor but in the experiences for everyone as a whole. We are so grateful and the words written in this more than well-deserved review are probably not expressive enough of how thrilled we are with our experience. By the end of our wedding, Lily and Jenna seemed far from strangers, making the vineyard feel like home for us, and I would not hesitate to say hi to them the next time we are there or if we run into them in the Newport-area.

Notably, we really appreciated how much the vineyard does in-house. It was almost like a one-stop shop, which made the planning process feel effortless. From the coordinating, food, etc. everything we raised felt like it was met with a “do not worry, we got this.”

We chose the option to have both our ceremony and reception at the vineyard. If you have not been there, it is gorgeous and I suggest finding time for a visit! We were lucky enough that we were able to have our June 2025 wedding ceremony outside in the meadow in front of the breathtaking landscape and green vines. At the same time, we loved knowing that the vineyard not only had a back up plan, but back up plans for their back up plans for the ceremony if weather became an issue. If it does rain, rest assured that the back up options are just as beautiful. Let’s be realistic, the spring in New England can be a toss up sometimes and we even had a scare of possible rain. Nevertheless, the team made sure to let us know they had us covered regardless.

Our reception was inside and we essentially had the whole place to ourselves. The public still had access to limited parts during operating hours, but the set up and flow of pedestrian traffic limited interactions so much that we really did not notice other people were there, and that included being on-site early for first look pictures. For our decor, our vision was to really lean into the natural beauty of the space and enhance it as much as possible. Classic New England wedding with some elevated rustic touches seemed to be our theme and it worked really well in our opinion. The space is so unique that you will want to showcase it as much as possible which our guests definitely agreed with.

In the months leading up to our wedding, we were invited to a tasting at the vineyard to sample some of the selections offered in preparation for choosing our reception menu. The vineyard really made you feel like a VIP at the tasting and all the little touches were really noticed by us. Chef Andy’s focus on farm-to-table is clearly showcased in his menu. This is something that really stood out to us when choosing the vineyard and the quality was unmatched. Everyone is still talking about the food, it is kind of unbelievable. While we opt-ed not to have a cake, we did have a desserts display which Lily helped us navigate how many selections for our guest count. The variety we had was great and people actually probably ate more sweets than they expected because they were so good and because of all of the options. We also loved that we could pick our selection of wines, everything just felt so personally curated to us and not cookie cutter. Great dinner, dessert, wine, and beer, what more could we have really asked for!

For vendors, they have a suggestions list and they work with a local company for any additional rentals you would like to use for your wedding day, although not required. We did end up adding on a few upgraded rentals and the vineyard made this process so easy. We just picked out what we wanted, the vendor let the vineyard know, and then the vineyard communicated from there on final guest count, logistics, etc. even making sure we were not securing more than what we really needed. We, personally, always love to keep things local if we can so having a foundation to build our planning off of what the vineyard was already providing was very helpful. We did end up selecting a photographer, florist, DJ, and rehearsal dinner venue all from RI and South coast MA. As a side note, us, many of those in our wedding party, and some of our guest stayed at the East Island Reserve Hotel next door. How could it get any better than to get ready at the hotel, walk right next door for the wedding, and walk right back over at night. Plus, it was still kind of the off season so the whole place felt like it was all our family and friends. Many of them, and some of the groomsmen even had a pool party the hours leading up to the ceremony, but we digress. Such a great pairing being right next door to each other!

All in all, the staff at the vineyard makes you feel like you are the only wedding they are planning and are the most important people with how much attention they give you. But trust me, they book up and rightfully so for the service they deliver! We have been recommending the vineyard to anyone that we know. If we ever need to hold another event, the vineyard will be at the top of our list. We only hope that anyone who is getting married can have such a seamless, joyous filled experience that we had, all thanks to the team at Newport Vineyards.

We cannot recommend Newport Vineyards enough to couples looking for the perfect wedding venue! The venue is gorgeous, the food is delicious, and the staff and wedding planning team are an absolute pleasure to work with. Lily and her team made the planning process and day-of execution of our big day absolutely seamless we couldn’t imagine pulling off a wedding without her!

Newport Vineyards was an unbelievable venue for our December 2024 wedding. They made everything so easy and the night was absolutely perfect! While this place is stunning in the summer when you can use the outdoor space - it’s equally stunning and cozy for a winter wedding! We had a beautiful ceremony in the tank room and our reception in the meadow room - the addition of fairy lights on the ceiling and some candles created the perfect cozy winter setting! Lily and Jenna are both so professional, organized, and easy to work with. Not a single thing went wrong on our day and throughout the entire planning process they were on top of every little detail. They both have an incredible eye for how to set things up and make them look great! More important to us when selecting a venue was the food and drinks - it was the reason we chose Newport Vineyards. The guest will not stop raving about the FOOD! We did stations for dinner which was so much fun and gave our guests the opportunity to try a little bit of everything. The fried chicken & cheddar grits, braised short rib with mashed potatoes, mushroom risotto, and mini lobster rolls were all delicious! My one regret of the day is that I was so busy being the bride I didn’t get to eat enough of the delicious food. We can’t imagine a better venue!

Newport Vineyards is hands down the most amazing place to get married. If you don’t want to read my entire review, here’s a quick synopsis: this venue has it all—breathtaking spaces, incredible farm-to-table food, a top-notch staff, and the perfect vibes for any celebration. From start to finish, they made our wedding unforgettable, and we wouldn’t have changed a thing (except wishing the night could last forever!).

We dreamed of a cozy Christmas-winter vibe for our wedding, and Newport Vineyards brought it to life in the most magical way. Our ceremony was held in the stunning wine barrel room, which was intimate, warm, and beautifully set for the occasion. The ambiance alone was worth every penny, but the food and drinks were what truly blew everyone away.

Our guests are still raving about the food! The bacon-wrapped scallops were heavenly, the handmade pasta stations were a huge hit, and the late-night crab rangoons were the perfect touch to keep the energy going. One guest even said, "Impeccable espresso martinis and Pinot Noir"—and we couldn’t agree more. The vineyard’s wine selection, paired with perfectly crafted cocktails, kept our guests smiling all night.

The staff at Newport Vineyards truly made the experience unforgettable. Jenna, our coordinator, was a dream to work with. She made all the planning decisions feel easy and stress-free, and her attention to detail ensured everything was exactly how we envisioned it. Nick, our catering manager, orchestrated the evening seamlessly, and we never had to worry about a thing. The bartenders were not only talented but also so much fun, adding to the festive atmosphere.

A special shoutout goes to Jeannene, our VIP server, who went above and beyond to take care of us throughout the night. From making sure we always had a drink in hand to ensuring we had time to eat and enjoy ourselves, she was simply amazing.

Our only complaint? The night ended too early! We didn’t want the party to stop because everything was so perfect. If you’re looking for a Newport wedding venue that delivers exceptional service, unforgettable food and drink, and a truly magical atmosphere, look no further than Newport Vineyards. It’s everything you could want and more!

And the food—wow! Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was. The menu options were thoughtfully curated, and the presentation and flavors were outstanding. Paired with their exceptional wines, it created an unforgettable dining experience for everyone.

The ambiance of the vineyard, especially as the sun set, was nothing short of breathtaking. It added a touch of romance and charm that made our wedding feel like something out of a dream.
