Absolutely Amazing

Regatta Place was a specular venue to get married at. The team I worked with, Maggie and Kay went above and beyond to make our wedding so special and stress free. The service was great and really enjoyed attending our own event!

The Best Experience

If you are considering having you wedding at Regatta Place -- do it. It's hard to overstate how fantastic the venue and team were in making our wedding as memorable as it was. From the outset, Maggie, Kay, Amanda, and others made clear that they were invested in delivering the wedding experience that we wanted, without selling us on anything that didn't fit with our budget or plan. We had complete freedom to dress up the space we want and incorporate the elements we wanted, all in the beautiful backdrop that is Newport Harbor.

It is probably worth mentioning that, in our case, we decided to host the wedding without a planner. This was a little daunting on our end, but the Regatta team quickly demonstrated that they would be there to support every aspect of planning -- from vendor selection and coordination to catering to decorations and more, Maggie was instrumental in keeping us on schedule and helping us execute (all while continually putting us at ease). However much or little you need the Regatta team, they will be there.

In terms of the day of the wedding, Maggie, Kay, and team could not have been better. We never expected to say that our wedding day went off without a hitch -- but that's exactly what happened. The rehearsal, ceremony, and following reception all flowed seamlessly, on schedule, and without issue, and our guests repeatedly went out of their way to let us know personally how exceptional the dinner and drink service was -- including rave reviews for both the hors d'oeuvres and entrees.

In sum, go with Regatta Place. The venue is beautiful, the team is superb, and your wedding day will be everything you're hoping for. We cannot recommend it enough!

Regatta Place is Perfect!

If you want the perfect wedding venue with an incredible and hardworking staff, Regatta Place is it. We initially worked with Gayle and signed our contract. Even viewing the venue in the winter we could tell just how special Regatta Place was. Gayle gave it to us straight and never made us feel pressured. She got us in contact with our florist (Secret Garden) and our DJ Joe (Sounds Buono) About 6 months out from our day we started to work with Maggie, and there are no words to say just how amazing she is! She calmed my nerves and answered every question I had (which was a lot). Every email was quickly answered with a ton of detail, I wish I had her in my daily life! Finally, we met Kay, our event manager the day of the wedding. She was incredible!!! She made my day perfect and I am forever grateful. I can’t say enough how special this venue and its people are. I’ve received so many compliments on my wedding (especially the views and food) and it’s honestly thanks to everyone at Regatta Place. They know how to put a bride at ease and make the day so seamless. My day even started out pouring rain, and then cleared up in time for our ceremony and reception. Kay and Maggie had my back the entire time! This is the most amazing place to get married and I would recommend it to anyone!

Two Photographers In Love Two Photographers In Love Wedding Photographers

My husband and I photographed a wedding at The Regatta Place in May of 2011. Besides the bridal suite being absolutely gorgeous, the staff was incredibly attentive to every need of not only the bride, but the bridesmaids, her mother and father along with myself. They did the same with the groom, his groomsmen and my husband. Throughout the day, there was always someone present, calming the nerves of the bride and her family and they were exceptional with their service throughout the entire reception. We enjoyed working with the staff at The Regatta Place and would gladly accept the invitation to photograph a wedding there again. Exceptional service and care. We can't wait to go back!
