Indian wedding experience
Our family kicked off the first wedding ceremony for Sonja and Jake at Newport Beach House, through and through an Indian experience with baraat, wedding and sangeet. It was picture perfect - the venue, the weather, the view, the ambiance, the sound and decor. And the food, so delicious - all made in house. Big thank you to Leighton and her team for service excellence. And to Rachel and her team @cosabellaevents. It was so special for all of us. Still savoring every moment at this wonderful venue. -

Perfect for a once in a lifetime experience
We recently had our wedding at the Newport Beach house, and we started our journey of venue searching pretty early due to timeline, and after visiting the NBH we had cancelled all other venue visits.
We were very open to the venue about our wants and what we were willing to spend which they accommodated happily. Daria, our wedding coordinator, was super helpful and gave suggestions of ways to get us what we dreamed of without breaking the bank. She was very responsive and helped us navigate this day without any stress.
Newport Beach House staff is more than accommodating and shows pride in their jobs, and fully enjoys being apart of special days. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a great time, with a full support system in place!
Thank you again Daria and team! It was a very memorable day for us and our family & friends! -

12/10 experience with Newport Beach House and staff!
We had the pleasure of having our wedding at the Newport Beach House: A Longwood Venue, in Middletown, RI. The venue was absolutely stunning! People talked about how beautiful the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were. So much space! Such a beautiful venue! My wife and I were blown away by the staff and how on top of things they were. Our wedding planner, Daria, was a huge help! Her and the staff at the Newport Beach House legit made this whole process and day so easy for us. We thank Daria for all her help in set up, calls, meetings, follow-ups. It was a dream venue and a dream day! 12/10 would recommend this location and staff for any experience let alone a wedding. Thank you so much Newport Beach House! You made our day a dream come true!! -

The perfect venue!
Newport Beach House is an amazing venue! Daria was our wedding coordinator and she was extremely responsive, professional and made the setup better than I had envisioned! The staff was great as well; we actually received a compliment about the servers from a guest. Highly recommend! -

Perfect venue
We had an absolutely amazing experience getting married here! We are so happy that we chose this venue. Not only is the location great, but Daria, our wedding coordinator, was amazing as well. She orchestrated everything beautifully, took care of us on the day of the wedding, and answered emails in a timely manner leading up to our big day! I would highly recommend choosing Newport Beach House for your venue though no matter which coordinator is assigned to your event. We fell in love with the venue and so did our guests. They also told us how much they LOVED the food! Everything was very tasty, more than you would expect for "wedding food." It was definitely worth the money. Our guests were impressed at the service at the event as well - the staff sets everyone's plate down at the same time which is super cool to see. It was the perfect space for us and the best backdrop for our ceremony. Highly recommend!-

Best day ever
I had my wedding at Newport Beach House on 10/28/23. Along the way during the planing process my wedding coordinator, Daria was very responsive, on top of things and ready to help me and answer any questions I had big or small. The day of ran so smooth because the venue was extremely organized, there were no visible hiccups. The food was AMAZING. All the people who worked there were a well oiled machine and aided in me having a wonderful stress free day. I would 10/10 recommend this beautiful space to any bride who is looking for modern, romantic, beachy wedding. Between the views, food and employees you cannot go wrong. -

Perfect beach wedding venue!
I had the BEST experience working with Ardriana and the rest of the Newport Beach House team for my wedding in August 2023!! The level of service and professionalism went above and beyond my expectations. Ardriana was very responsive throughout the whole process as we finalized our guest count and made tweaks to our food/ rental options. The wedding day went so smoothly thanks to all of her hard work organizing the timeline and coordinating with our vendors. We were lucky to have great weather for an outside ceremony and cocktail hour, and had our reception in the Eventide room. Our guests raved about the beach/ sunset views from the deck and how delicious all of the food was. Newport Beach House was truly the venue of my dreams!-

Amazing Experience with Newport Beach House
I cannot recommend this venue enough - the view speaks for itself, but the people and service we received were beyond our expectations. Daria was amazing to work with, so detail oriented and made our entire day flow perfectly. She worked with me through email and calls leading up the big day, answering all my questions no matter how many I had for her! On top of a great customer service experience, the food was amazing - all our guests are still raving about it. -

We had an amazing experience at Newport Beach House!

Incredible experience! Loved working with Daria, her planning ahead of time and day of co-ordination significantly reduced our stress and provided a seamless planning experience. Food, drinks, venue it-self and the staff were all 10/10. -

Newport Beach House
Our wedding day ended up being far better than what we even imagined! As disappointed as we were to not have the ceremony outside, the inside “plan b” ended up being just as amazing and beautiful. Hands down, one of the best wedding venue food I’ve ever had. Also, Daria was extremely helpful and flexible with ensuring our day was perfect and to our expectations! Jess was also amazing to deal with and was always there looking out for us too!-

The most gorgeous venue space
We had our wedding at Newport Beach House in November 2022. From the moment I laid eyes on the venue, I knew I wanted to have our wedding here. The venue itself is stunningly beautiful - a clean and modern yet beachy and boho space of my dreams. The views outside on the beach are as stunning as they are inside the venue itself. We rented out the entire venue for our wedding, which I highly recommend, especially for a larger wedding. Our event coordinator, Ardriana, was amazing to work with from start to finish. She made the entire process so easy. Everything from the food to the service was incredible on the day of our event. The only complaint we had was that the venue does nickel and dime for anything you want to add on. This was completely unrelated to Ardriana but when spending so much money on a venue, it seems a little silly to charge an additional $500 for needing to get into the venue 20 minutes early for a first look. This is probably pretty standard in the industry but felt a little stingy. Regardless of this, I would choose NBH again and again and cannot recommend them (and Ardriana!) enough for helping us host the wedding of our wildest dreams! All of our guests had an amazing time and absolutely loved the space. -

Venue of dreams
Newport Beach house is a DREAM wedding venue & team. Everyone we worked with - starting with our tour with Emily to our amazing planner Daria to our attendant Jess and everyone in between - was absolutely incredible. Daria helped us stay organized and ensured that we had the wedding day of our dreams. Our guests are still raving about the food and how great the Newport Beach House was at serving folks quickly and keeping everyone more than happy throughout the evening! -

Our perfect coastal wedding
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Newport Beach House as our ceremony and reception venue. If you are looking for a romantic, beachside venue with an amazing staff and catering/bar/rentals all in one place, then this is the venue for you.
Starting a little over a year in advance, we worked with Carly for several months who was so helpful in our initial booking process. We then worked with Ardriana from the point of our food tasting onward and she was the absolute BEST. Her organization and communication was impeccable and her enthusiasm was unmatched (on our two week pre-event phone call, I couldn't tell who was more excited, myself or Ardriana!). She was also our day-of coordinator and went above and beyond. From finding 50 bobby pins to stabilize my veil when the coastal winds kept ripping it out to running out on the deck in a torrential downpour to save our outdoor signs, she truly did it all. We are so grateful.
The food was some of the best wedding food I have ever eaten (and yes I actually got to eat because the staff were so helpful in making sure my husband and I did!). Many of our guests said the same thing. The drinks were also great! Everyone loved our signature Aperol Spritz. They also added a beer to the bar list for us because my husband and his guys love Michelob Ultra. I could list many more small details they did to make our night perfect but instead I will just say, don't think twice and book it! -

Indian/Catholic fusion wedding
I cannot speak highly enough about NBH. I had a very complicated, tightly packed schedule of Indian/Catholic fusion events and NBH made the process SO easy. They allowed for a baraat, full Indian ceremony, and their own Indian fusion menu that blew our guests away. They were SO attentive to me throughout the day. The venue is stunning, and I heard from several guests that it was their favorite venue of all time. I’m going to relive this day throughout my life thanks to NBH. Its expensive, but worth t every penny.-

Not only is this venue absolutely beautiful, their staff is so professional, helpful, and efficient. Everything from booking the wedding back in 2019 to our wedding day in 2022 was perfect. They were super accommodating with COVID when we decided to move our wedding date. I can not recommend this venue enough! Also, the food is cooked on site by their chefs and is amazing! -

Everything we dreamed of!
My now husband and I were guests at a beautiful wedding at the Newport Beach House in 2017. Fast forward to 2020 when we got engaged, we knew we had to visit the venue again. Needless to say, we fell in love the second we stepped back here and booked the Surfside space for a Sept 2021 wedding. The ocean backdrop and private beach setting is breathtaking. The Longwood team (and HUGE shoutout to Daria W, our day-of event coordinator) were very professional, communicative, and organized. Given the pandemic, we had some last minute changes to our guest count / food options, and the team was very understanding and flexible, working with us on everything. The food was by far the BEST food we've ever had at a wedding and everyone had commented on how delicious everything was (to this day, our friends & family are still talking about the food). Just thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts - it was truly everything we could have dreamed of and more. -

Exceptional Service & Professionalism
There really are no words to describe my appreciation for Ardriana, Jess and the team at Newport Beach House. My husband and I started planning our wedding in 2019 scheduled to be married Nov 1, 2020. Due to Covid we were forced like so many to move and reschedule. NBH and their team members made everything so easy, stressless and seamless during this hectic time. Their venue, view and staff are second to none and the service is the best you could request. Everyone was extremely friendly and professional. My mom and I bought a ton of decor to decorate the tables, room and cocktail hour to match our fall rustic theme; we left everything in the hands of Ardriana and she blew us away with the way the room was set up. We really can’t thank her and everyone there for their support to get us to our reception day (finally) and would advise everyone that Newport Beach House should be the place you chose to be married. -

Absolutely wonderful!
Planning a wedding is never an easy task but planning one in a pandemic adds another layer of crazy! After having to reschedule several times due to COVID, we finally were able to have the wedding of our dreams. From start to finish, the team at NBH was communicative, supportive, and all around amazing. Daria was fantastic to work with, handling my million questions with ease and we loved our day of attendant Susan - she went above and beyond to make sure we ate, stayed on time, and overall had an amazing experience. The food was truly exceptional, our guests were absolutely raving about it.
The venue is truly beautiful - the views are stunning and the building is so modern and gorgeous. We knew it was our place the moment we walked in. I couldn't recommend Newport Beach House more! -

The third time really is the charm
Due to the pandemic we had to reschedule the wedding for three different dates. From the saleswoman who started us out to the event planner who was with us throughout the entire weekend the event was flawless. We received more compliments than we could count about the beautiful venue and the extraordinarily delicious food, right down to the chocolate cake. We highly recommend the Newport Beach House and their wonderful people. -

Reliable, accommodating, seamless
After rescheduling our wedding 3 times, the NBH saved us and made our dream wedding finally come to life. Ardriana was a pleasure to work with, always answered our questions timely and did her absolute best to accommodate all of our requests! If I could do it all again, I would chose the NBH time and time again! I also want to give a shout out to Dan for being so attentive. He always made sure I was finished eating before clearing my plate, had a drink in my hand at all times and kept us on schedule! Our guests have not stopped talking about how gorgeous the venue was and how amazing the food and service was! Huge thank you to all that were involved on our special day -

NBH - beach venue
Ardriana and staff were amazing and so helpful through out the planning process and the night of the wedding. The venue is awesome, right on the beach so our guests could enjoy an indoor and outdoor space. All our guests commented on how good the food was. NBH deserves a thumbs up for location, service, and food. -

Could Not have Asked for a Better Experience
I 100% recommend working with Longwood Events & Venues. They are responsive and so professional and were incredibly flexible and easy to work with. We had a couple of hiccups that I wasn't even aware of because the venue just made sure we were relaxed and having a great time instead of worrying us about the fact that the table numbers got lost on their way to the venue (probably my own fault). I even hugged our wedding coordinator at the end of the day because she was incredible and made our day so special.
Our wedding had to be postponed 3 times due to Covid but Newport Beach House/ Longwood was there with us every step of the way and were always knowledgeable and on top of what the current restrictions were. The staff also wore masks the entire time and sanitize everything between each wedding.
The place itself is beautiful. We chose this venue for the following reasons:
1. It is just as beautiful inside the venue as it is outside so we didn't have to worry if the weather didn't hold for our day
2. The whole place is air conditioned
3. Everything is wheelchair accessible for the older folks that attended our wedding
4. The food is AMAZING and cooked all on site
I cannot recommend this place enough!-

The best day...
As a result of the pandemic, we had to reschedule our wedding date three times. Despite the NBH team being amazing with all of the dates, I was regretting not just eloping. And then the day came, and it was AMAZING. Daria and Dan were a dream team-- we didn't have to worry about a thing. Our guests have been talking about the food and environment nonstop. I could not say more about the people and venue-- I wish we could get married there every day to experience it again and again. -

Absolutely beautiful!
My husband and I are so happy we chose this venue for our wedding day...it is absolutely GORGEOUS! We were so impressed with the staff and the food was delicious (the surf and turf melts in your mouth). Our signature cocktails were spot on. The ocean view was the perfect backdrop as we danced and celebrated before taking the party downstairs to the Oyster Lounge. There we danced, chilled out in front of the fire-pit, and had mini chicken and waffles as a late night snack. Overall, it was a great experience...you won't be disappointed. -

Amazing! Absolutely Recommend Newport Beach House!!
The Newport Beach House from start to finish was fantastic to work with. We absolutely love the space, it is both modern in it's fit & finish, but also located on the beach where it has a nice casual vibe that isn't overly pretentious. The outdoor space is gorgeous right on the beach with a terrace and 2nd floor balcony - and there is plenty of space for guests. Our wedding day was unfortunately a bit cold and rainy, where the venue was able to accommodate us inside...and everything still looked amazing and still had gorgeous views.
As for the food, everything was delicious. We got compliments from everyone we spoke with about how good the food was; comes in decent size portions, and is well presented.
Lastly, which we can't speak highly enough about - the planning process was great. Starting from Carly who was our sales rep working with us to secure our date and rental agreement. We did then have a few different wedding coordinators that we worked with, but also recognize that resources were in flux due to COVID, which made us a bit nervous - however, the venue and transition between their personnel and every single person we worked with was absolutely fantastic. We were able to do a tasting with both of our parents, which was a really fun experience and then would like to give special shout outs to Meghan Dargy and Ardriana Ferri!! Not only were they very communicative and pleasant pre-wedding, but they were both on-site with us, and they knew every single logistic that we had in our head to always keep us one-step ahead of where we needed t be.
We'd absolutely recommend the Newport Beach House to anyone considering this venue. Not to mention, there are plenty of really great Airbnbs in the area that makes for a really fun weekend and overall guest experience for those coming into Newport.-

So happy we picked Newport Beach House!
I can't even put into words how wonderful my experience with the Newport Beach House team has been this far. From viewing the venue to our tasting to now rescheduling due to the pandemic - each team member has been absolutely amazing and a joy to work with. Our wedding date was scheduled for this September 2020 and we JUST decided to postpone with 4 weeks to go. Throughout the whole pandemic Sarah the Director of Events has been responsive, attentive, and incredibly understanding and patient with us. Even when I know she is short handed and has a lot more on her plate than usual. We decided on having biweekly calls leading up to the September date which made me feel less anxious knowing she was available to answer all questions and concerns. She always started the calls asking what we were thinking/feeling. Although making the choice to postpone was difficult, I am so excited for our new wedding date next year. Big shout out to Carly and Meghan from the team, too! This is such a difficult time to be in the events industry and you are all doing wonderfully! -

Olivia was great
We worked with Olivia Smith to plan our dream wedding. Throughout the process, Olivia was responsive, helpful and organized. She made the process less daunting and we had fun planning all of the details. Thank you for all of your help Olivia! -

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's not much to say beyond wow. From the initial tour to the final morning after my wedding, my groom, parents and I have been absolutely blown away by Newport Beach House and their extraordinary staff. This is a top notch venue and you truly feel that they care about your day just as much as you do. We worked with Stephanie and on the day of Courtney and Sam and they all, along with the rest of the staff, made us feel at ease, kept things on track, and were attentive to us and our parents from start to finish. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone - not only is it gorgeous (almost all of our guests took unreal sunset pics and haven't stopped talking about it) - but you get the best of the best dedicating themselves to your night and you leave feeling like all the time, energy and stress of planning was 10000% COMPLETELY WORTH IT! -

Best venue ever
Honestly this venue speaks for itself! I currently live in Chicago but lived in Rhode Island for 3 years and met my husband in Newport. When we got engaged I knew we had to get married in Newport Rhode Island. After doing a ton of research and thinking about all the venues I already knew of I was very torn because I felt like none of the typical venues really reflected my laid back and simple style. My mom found Newport Beach house (when I lived in Newport this was still the old ABC so I had no idea it even became a wedding venue) and I loved photos online so had to see it in person. Once I saw the venue in person my husband and family were blown away and it was pretty clear we had to get married here!!!! It is expensive but for Newport it is more
Affordable then so many other venues and what you are given is so worth it. I loved working with Olivia our event coordinator she was amazing and even Carly that booked us at the venue went above and beyond to work with us to make sure we could get married there and that it made sense for us! The entire staff is so accommodating and amazing I can’t get over it. And on the day of our wedding we had an amazing girl with us all day named Courtney who absolutely crushed it. She would hold my bouquet get me and my husband drinks get anything for our family
Or bridal party she really took care of everything so that we could enjoy our day and feel completely stress free!!!! My favorite part of the venue though was the epic sunset that took place right after cocktail hour. The entire wedding was hanging out on the upper deck enjoying the beautiful view and they were blown away. You seriously cannot go wrong with the Newport Beach house ! -

Kind people who know what they're doing!
This place knows exactly how to make weddings gorgeous and seamless events. Their knowledge of wedding timelines and how to execute them was greatly appreciated, the food was DELICIOUS, and Megan Johnson was the sweetest planner to be by my side the entire day. She was also a fabulous coordinator to work through - her responses were always kind and professional, thorough, and prompt. There is nothing more I could have wanted from the entire crew and venue at NBH. Finally, I am getting compliments from people I never imagined with regard to how beautiful and well-run the venue is. Thank you all so much for making our day a complete dream! -

Our November Wedding was Magical
My husband, Tim & I cannot thank the NBH team enough for their hard work and dedication. Planning a wedding is stressful but Alysha, Olivia, Sarah & the entire team rose to the occasion - especially when I was being a bit of a bridezilla. We received so many beautiful compliments and our memories of our wedding day will last a lifetime! Thank you NBH team -

SO HAPPY with our experience!
My husband and I were SO happy with our decision to have our wedding at the Newport Beach House! From the second we walked in, we knew it was the perfect venue for us. We loved the clean and laid-back look of the venue, but it still had the sense of elegance and style that we were looking for. I wanted to have an outdoor ceremony with an indoor reception (more on that later) and the best part of the NBH is that the rain plan for the outdoor ceremony was just as beautiful as the outdoor option. I knew I'd be happy with the setup no matter what the weather was. Also, we wanted our guests to feel relaxed and to feel like they could really let their hair down, and I can definitely say, mission accomplished! From beginning to end, our day could not have been more perfect - but first, let's start with all the prep that went into it. Ashly, our coordinator, was the MVP!! She was so responsive, organized, friendly, fun to work with...and did a great job dealing with my neurotic requests on timelines and what one might see as "small details." She is also great at organizing large groups and dealing with family members. In the lead-up to the day and during the entire event, I knew we were in the best hands. The venue staff and bridal attendant were fabulous too. On the day of the wedding, it absolutely poured - there was a foot and a half of water in the street, flooding (not in the venue!), etc. Of course, this put a damper (pun intended!) on our outdoor ceremony, outdoor pictures, and outdoor cocktail hour. Ashly and the rest of the NBH staff had the whole thing under control, with the rain plans ready to go for each component. We ended up having the ceremony inside overlooking the ocean, and it was completely gorgeous. Many of our guests didn't even realize that the ceremony was supposed to have been outside. We were able to take photos inside in the bar area, and they came out beautifully. It finally stopped raining while the ceremony was happening, so we ended up opening the deck area and having an indoor/outdoor cocktail hour. My husband and I were even able to take some photos on the beach, which came out so beautifully because nobody else was on the sand! It really worked out perfectly, and I wasn't stressed about the weather at all because I knew we had a great rain plan that the staff would execute flawlessly. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all looked great, and I didn't notice at all as the staff transitioned the spaces from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. As the night went on, Ashly and our bridal attendant were so attentive and supportive, and really made sure that everything was going smoothly behind the scenes and that everyone was having a great time. I seriously cannot say enough good things about the NBH - if you have your wedding here, it will be money well spent! P.S. I saw some negative reviews from 2016, but I didn't experience any of that - they must have changed staff or something since then. You will definitely be in good hands! -

Everything was perfect. We were supposed to get married outside but it rained and they made everything even more beautiful than I could have imagined. It turned out to be a blessing that we were inside because it was that gorgeous. The salmon was the best I've ever had in my lift. My dream come true. -

We had our wedding at The Newport Beach House in October. It was a dream. The venue is gorgeous... amazing views and perfect outside space. The food was delicious. Our tasting was good, but the food the day of the wedding exceeded our expectations. We received so many compliments.
Julianna, our wedding planner and Ashley, our day of coordinator was so sweet and helpful. They made everything so enjoyable and pleasant.
Newport Beach House - Thank you for helping us have our dream wedding!! -

I could not be more happy with our choice in venue. I've always dreamed of getting married on the beach so I immediately fell in love with Newport Beach House the moment I saw it. However, it really is the staff that makes this venue truly amazing. Our event specialist, Julianna, made sure everything was absolutely perfect. Leading up to the big day, she responded to every crazy question we had and always made us feel at ease. Julianna even texted me photos of the decorated space the morning of the wedding! Our day-of coordinator, Ashley, was equally as amazing. She made sure I had a vodka soda at all times and organized my entire wedding party (quite the task). You expect something to go wrong the day of your wedding, but honestly, Julianna, Ashley and their team didn't allow for any mishaps. I can't say enough about them and this exceptionally beautiful venue! -

I got married at Newport Beach House this past Saturday. I had mentally prepared myself for a few glitches in the day because that's what everyone tells you to do. Not ONE glitch. The entire day/night was perfect. The whole process including planning leading up to the day was seamless and easy. The event coordinators Sarah, Sam, and Ashly were attentive to detail, extremely responsive and accommodating, and overall excellent as were my 'day of' bridal attendant, Olivia and the maitre d, Ben. People have not stopped raving about the decor, ambience , and the food. The bon fire after was a huge hit with everyone and something people had never seen before. Would choose this venue a thousand times over. -

Everything about our wedding experience was wonderful. The year leading up to it we felt like we had a lot of support from the wedding coordinator. Everyone was very flexible, whenever we asked to come in for a tour there were plenty of times available. The food was great our guests can't stop raving (waitstaff were very professional and efficient). The venue was absolutely stunning, all of the upgrades looked great. We got married in the downstairs room. And most importantly we were impressed by all of the staff, they went above and beyond each and every day. Carly- thank you for helping me with the booking process. You were beyond quick to answer my emails, always very patient and thorough, helpful with all of my questions. You were great! Sam- thank you for all of your help coordinating the wedding! Leading up to the wedding you were so patient, you answered all of my emails in a timely fashion and always gave me detailed answers. I appreciate all you've done! Sarah- I could go on for days about how amazing you are. In many circumstances you saved the day. Although I only knew you for one week, you went of your way to help make our day special. You went above and beyond to ensure everything workout out with our flowers, you were so helpful with decorating, You were kind, patient, organized and on your game! The rehearsal went smoothly and so did the wedding, so thank you! Olivia- I couldn't have gotten through the wedding day without you! Thank you for your patience, attention to detail, thank you for making sure we ate and had drinks. You saved me when my dress was dirty, you helped bustle my dress, and most importantly you helped our day go so smoonthly. I can't thank you enough, I was so lucky to have you as my bridal attendant
I highly recommend Newport Beach House to anyone looking for a great wedding experience. I wish I could get married all over again! -

We had our wedding at Newport Beach House on 5/28/2017. It was absolutely beautiful! We used the bottom floor exclusively. The ceremony site is stunning- the new construction (including the walkway) was perfect and flows well into the expanded cocktail hour space. We could not have been happier with how the event flowed the day of. Guests could not stop commenting on the service and food (one friend said it was the best wedding food he has ever had). We worked with Samantha Pilz leading up to the event and could not have been happier. When I approached her about some of the negative reviews I had read- she went through each complaint step by step professionally and explained what NBH had done to remedy the situation. She put me at ease that she would take care of everything on the wedding day- and she could not have been more right. The space was set up perfectly and we could not have been happier with our venue. Thank you NBH and especially Samantha Pilz for making our wedding day so perfect! -

We had our wedding at NBH 2 weeks ago today! The service was impeccable. Our bridal attendant Mary walked all the way down the end of the beach to bring us beverages while we were taking pictures. She made sure we were taken care of all night. The food was out of this world delicious (still getting compliments from guests!). The setting and the view... unbelievably gorgeous. Big open floor to ceiling windows that over looks mansions / cliff walk / beach / ocean. The deck is the perfect place to take it all in. The flooring, ceiling, glass light fixtures, even the bridal suite and bathrooms were beautiful!
You can't go wrong choosing Newport Beach House (or any Longwood space).
Thank you so much Steph, Alicia, Sarah, Michelle, Mary, Darwin, Jared and the whole longwood team! -

My husband and I just got married at Newport Beach House this past weekend, 4/9/16; we were the first wedding at the newly renovated venue. I cannot not say enough good things about it! There is literally not a single thing I would change, and I know my husband feels the same.
We originally booked our wedding at Atlantic Beach Club (the former owners and name of this venue); we fell in love with the place the minute we saw it. A little over a year ago we got a phone call informing us that Atlantic Beach Club was being purchased by Longwood Events. We were told that there would be new staff (therefore a new coordinator) and that the venue would be renovated. We were given the option to get our deposit back and rebook the wedding, since it would be different than what we had originally booked. After doing some research on Longwood Events we decided to stay with the venue; this was literally the best possible thing we could have done!
The venue is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! When we all saw the finished product everyone's jaws dropped in seeing how beautiful it was!
The looks of the venue were only the surface of how perfect the whole event was. Our coordinator, Alicia, was above and beyond. She was quick to respond to every email and question that I had! She was so kind and made sure our every wish was met! On our wedding day our bridal attendant, Angie, was absolutely the best! She was so sweet and attentive! The food was by far the best I've had at a wedding! The timeline we made was maintained on point!
I have had so many guests compliment the food, beauty of the venue, and the amazing staff!
If anyone is looking for an absolute dream of a wedding this is the place to go! We are so lucky to have been the first couple married there, and we will have that story to tell for the rest of our lives! Thank you Alicia, Angie, and also mark for all your help!!!

Fantastic from start to finish!
The Newport Beach House from start to finish proved to be the perfect choice for my daughter's wedding. From the first tour 16 months ago until the end of the after party (which is conveniently on the premises, downstairs!) the NBH and the staff surpassed all expectations!
Our friends have sent me texts raving about venue, the food, and the GORGEOUS setting! "best wedding food, best appetizers, my steak was cooked to perfection, everyone had a clean plate at our table, gorgeous setting" is just a sampling of the comments I have been receiving.
Daria and her staff went above and beyond at the rehearsal and on the day of the wedding. Every time I turned around someone was asking me if they could do something for me. My daughter, her friends in the bridal party, and my immediate family were treated so kindly. Everyone was gracious, helpful and accommodating. I have never experienced service like this anywhere.
I could not give a higher recommendation to the NBH and their fantastic staff. They don't miss one detail! I wish I had another daughter so I could look forward to hosting here again! -

Picture perfect wedding
Our wedding at Newport Beach House was everything we had hoped for. We were delayed multiple times due to Covid and NBH worked with us to move our dates with ease. They answered all of our questions, worked with our vendors, and thought of all the details to ensure our wedding day we only had to think about having fun.
The staff and team did an amazing job and all of our guests had a great time. Most told us it was the best wedding they have been to. Thanks Newport Beach House for a memorable evening! -

Beautiful and professional wedding venue!
We hosted our wedding ceremony, reception, and after-party at the Newport Beach House on June 10, 2023. Our ceremony and reception were in the Surfside room, and our after-party was in the Oyster Lounge. The ceremony was beautiful. Our florist and DJ were able to coordinate with the venue seamlessly in setting up our ceremony, without any input needed from us. The reception was very fun. The food was excellent, exceeding our expectations. The bartenders were good-natured. Again, the DJ and florist were able to set up the sound system and all of the tables / centerpieces perfectly without our input. All throughout the night, Daria, our Event Specialist, was a steady hand behind the wheel, always making sure we were comfortable and informed. The after-party in the Oyster Lounge was also great! Can't recommend the waffle bar enough - all the guests partook. To top it off, at the end of the night, Jess, the onsite manager, generously helped us pack up our decor items into our car.
A special shout-out to Daria, who was extremely helpful and professional during the planning process. She made sure that everything was taken care of and no details were overlooked. She was also very responsive and very thorough in addressing all of our questions and concerns. -

Newport Beach House was an absolute dream especially since we had such nice weather for our ceremony. I can’t say enough great things about the food and venue space. Truly beautiful setting. Our wedding coordinator was also easily one of the best parts about our day. Ardriana was professional, responsive, smart, and a dream to work with.
You do need somewhat deeper pockets to get married at this space, but for us it was totally worth it. The other note I’ll make was that we had to rearrange due to COVID, and they were good at accommodating and being understanding of this situation. -

Worth it! 9/14 wedding
We had our wedding here this past Saturday- and I could not say enough about the staff. The entire night felt like it went by in 60 seconds- but Olivia was a pleasure to work with the entire time, and was extremely responsive. She also answered all my questions via call and email leading up to the night. She took charge in the rehearsal which was great and got it done as quick as we could. Courtney the bridal attendant was also fantastic - made sure I had a drink in my hand at all times (love you for that) and was such a warm soul.
You can tell Longwood has it down- and that was really comforting for me as I planned my entire wedding basically over the internet had never being to RI before. My one suggestion would be to allow weddings to bring in their own late night food- I know a lot of places don't let you bring stuff in, but we would have liked to do something more substantial than passed flatbread.
Either way-fantastic experience! Every vendor we had was familiar with Longwood and it made things so easy for me. I definitely recommend! -

We are so happy that we had our wedding at Newport Beach House. The location and venue itself are gorgeous! All of our guests can't stop telling us how beautiful the venue was and they really enjoyed the food. The team was so helpful and accommodating to what we wanted and did a great job executing our vision. If you want to get married on the beach in this area, it really is the perfect spot. -

Our wedding at Newport Beach House was incredible. Not only is the venue itself is so impressive and beautiful, but the quality of the food and service was also outstanding. Throughout the planning process, my event coordinator was Samantha, who was great to work with, however, two weeks before the wedding Samantha left and Ashly took over. I was nervous at first, but nerves quickly went away after a few phone calls and emails with Ashly. Ashly was quick to respond to any questions or concerns I might have. She also was able to easily and quickly fulfill a few last minute requests. The day of the event, everything looked so perfectly beautiful that I knew I could truly enjoy my day as I knew that I was in capable hands. Olivia was also wonderful - she took care of every need I had during our reception and made sure the event flowed exactly as we wanted it to. Several guests came up to me and said how they had never seen a venue like this and how gorgeous the event was. Guests also raved about the food - everything from the mini lobster rolls, to the cheese display, to the entree, to the cake was delicious. Thank you Newport Beach House for making our wedding day so wonderfully perfect! -

The service at Newport Beach House was outstanding. We had originally booked our wedding under the previous owners so we were skeptical about how the transition would be. The staff at Longwood Events accommodated our requests and our wedding was even more wonderful than we had imagined. We had a consultant throughout the entire process and on the actual day we had a personal bridal attendant who got us drinks, told us when the food was at our table, and even assisted with my gown during pictures. Our parents also had a personal staff member to see to whatever they needed throughout the reception. The food was excellent! Our wedding guests are still raving about the steak! Everything ran smoothly and our guests enjoyed themselves. I would highly recommend this venue! -

Great venue - terrible meal presentation
My daughter's wedding reception was held at this venue on November 10,2018. After 1 year of planning there was very high expectations for the reception. The venue itself was amazing, the guest really enjoyed themselves. It was the meal that was such a disappointment. We ordered chicken and petite filet after attending the taste testing. The meal delivered was not the meal we enjoyed at the taste testing. Many guest returned their meals to the kitchen due to undercooked chicken. My advise is to take pictures of the meals at the taste testing and compare with meals served at the wedding. I wish I had. I spoke with Dave after the wedding and he admitted there were problems in the kitchen. Recently a guest again commented on the poor presentation of the meal and undercooked chicken and vegetable. It's really upsetting to know you paid a lot for the meals and they were terrible. I was offered an adjustment to the bill after it was inflated for the open bar, then they credited the amount to compensate for the meals. Even during the open bar guest stated they were paying for drinks, my daughter, the bride, had to talk to the bar tenders. I'm not sure there is enough compensation to make up for the meals. It is a once in a lifetime event with no do overs for mistakes. O hope you have better luck than we did. Don't forget take those pictures!! -

Not responsive to complaints
Nice venue but poor delivery. Unfortunately we had our event planner leave in the middle of the planning stages and provided a new planner. Nice but seemed like this was her first big event. We spent at least $100000 on this event but they did not deliver. Many issues were brought up but in particular the meal and desserts were not brought out in a timely fashion. It was a buffet but staff did not not replenish or kept track and we found out after the event that several guest did not eat because they thought they ran out of food. Now the food was eventually brought out but no one knew it and staff did not notify anyone so there was food left over. Desserts were also forgotten. We used an outside vendor for dessert but you were required to purchase one dessert from them which was never brought out till it was mentioned toward end of evening. Again there are were other small details which we will not go into. The staff itself was helpful and friendly but poorly run and coordinated.
Again nice location but would not recommend till those in charge improve. We did register our concerns but absolutely no response -

We originally booked our wedding at the Atlantic Beach Club. A few months after booking, Atlantic Beach Club had been sold to Longwood Venues, affecting our June 17, 2016 wedding. Several months later, we were handed over to a coordinator named Alicia. We had troubles since the food tasting. A large storm was expected on the day of the tasting and when I contacted Alicia a day in advance to discuss options, Alicia essentially wrote me off as if it was no big deal. The morning of the tasting, Alicia realized how bad the weather was and called to ask at 10am if we could get to Newport early that day. We were mostly upset and insulted by this because we had tried to take care of this in advance. Additionally, we received just as many "out of office" replies as we did actual responses to our emails. We had to go through so many other people to get answers out of Alicia, it was ridiculous. The week of the wedding, I was asked to send the seating chart when I had ALREADY sent it two weeks prior. I also had to restate which package we had selected for our guests, as that was incorrect on the contract transfer. The night of the wedding, we paid for 3 hours of live music by our band. Our vendors were scheduled to eat at 8:25, but meals for them were not served until 9:30. Because of this, we lost paid time from the band AND many of our vendors did not eat at all that evening, which is wrong. To top it all off, we paid for a dessert table -- pastries, chocolate covered strawberries, cake pops, etc. The night of our wedding, this dessert table did not exist. As you can see, the lack of attention to detail by our event specialist, Alicia, was unacceptable and caused myself and my mother to have numerous added stresses, even during the reception. To this day, we have not received an apology. If this review was just the wait staff, chefs, location and scenery -- it would be 5/5 without a doubt. -

Increased Price by 33%!
Be careful as this facility is excellent at responding when you are scheduling an event but not so much if a Global Pandemic arises and you need to reschedule.
Our daughter’s wedding was scheduled for a Friday evening in Newport RI at the Newport Beach House @ 3 Aquidneck Avenue in Middletown, RI 02842 on 12/18/20.
This is a Longwood Ventures & Destinations property.
In light of COVID 19 and the RI.gov website saying “Social gatherings: Social gatherings can be no larger than 25 people indoors or 50 people outdoors. For social gatherings like weddings where there is a licensed caterer involved (which makes the setting more like a restaurant) gatherings can be as large as 50 people indoors or up to 100 people outdoors.” We made the difficult decision to move the event to 12/17/21.
Well the Newport Beach House was willing to do that and move my deposit to the new date only if I agreed to a 33% increases in the “guaranteed minimum” from $15,000 to $20,000!
So I called our “Sales Contact” Ms. Parker that we worked with in December of 2019 on June 8th to reschedule the event. No call back which was in stark contrast to the response times prior to my sending a $5,000 deposit…
I left another message and emailed on June 9th. Again, no response.
On June 11th I called and a receptionist gave me the name and email of the “Director of Events”, Ms. German who I called and emailed that day. She did respond that she was not available until 6/15.
I thought this may be easy as we are experiencing a horrific Pandemic and gatherings of over 50 people are currently against RI law so I emailed Ms. German on 6/12 asking for the new date of 12/17/21 and did not receive an email back.
I called her on 6/15 and left another message and finally received a call back on 6/16. It was clear the she did not want to postpone the event and said she would do so only if I agreed to increase the “Event Minimum” by 33% from $15,000 to $20,000!
If you are thinking of booking an event at the Newport Beach House in Middletown, RI, a Longwood Ventures & Destinations property please be aware the their “Event Minimum” does NOT include taxes (understandable) or their 22% “Administrative Charge” (NOT understandable).
Mind you the agreed upon total was $21,710.76 before the upcharges for linens.
We are empathetic that the Newport Beach House and Longwood Ventures & Destinations is experiencing challenges during COVID 19 as we drive by their often on our way to 2nd beach and the parking lot sits empty. Most everyone is experiencing financial inconveniences.
However, the fact remains that we do not have any way of knowing what things will be like in 5 short months. This is our daughter’s wedding and currently her guest list of 85 is illegal in RI.
Sure it may be legal in December OR maybe it won’t. We need to rebook the band, cake, hotels etc. etc. and EVERYONE else understood and accepted the new date at the agreed upon prices, Except the Newport Beach House and Longwood Ventures & Destinations.
I even agreed to increase the “Guaranteed Minimum” to $17,500 and meet Ms. German half way and that offer was not accepted.
I truly feel held hostage. They have my deposit and we only want to move the date. We do not want to cancel but a 33% increase is not acceptable.
Not sure how this will turn out but be aware that while the facility is beautiful their COVID 19 policies are not. Think twice before booking here.

Major issues with food and coordination.
My wedding reception was on Saturday 11/10/2018 at the Newport Beach House. The venue is beautiful but it all went downhill after the cocktail hour. We had an open bar all night but they started charging my guests after the cocktail hour. I had to get up from my seat and go find my wedding coordinator (which I never found) to correct the issue so I ended up having to sort it out with the bartenders.
The food was NOTHING even remotely close to what we had at the tasting. It was embarrassing. Chicken was raw ( several guests sent their food back due to the chicken being raw) and the filet was like rubber. They even ran out of vegetarian meals.
My coordinator was supposed to make sure I visited every table to speak with guests .. she pulled me away from doing that to cut the cake.... then told me she was leaving for the night. As the bride I got caught up in everything and never made it to the other side of the room.
It’s gong to bother me for quite some time to understand what happened with the food. My parents paid a lot of money for my wedding and my mom is still pretty upset about it.
We booked in January and paid in full by July. A month before the wedding Longwood sent me several documents including a spreadsheet to fill out with all guest names. I’ve been diligently working on my own spreadsheet for 18 months at this point!
Very disappointed. -

We had high expectations for this recently renovated, spruced up and reopened venue. The location is beautiful. That is where the beauty ends. The staff were difficult to work with -- from arguing with the bridal party on the seating chart and able set up to pricing. The unprofessionalism carried through to the waitstaff. This venue made what should have been the simplest, most wonderful day in any bride's life a comedy or errors and complaints that are being carried out weeks after the fact. Many kinks to work out. Do not book here. -

This place cares about one thing and one thing only, money. There are too many things to discuss at length, so I will just touch on several of them. Feel free to message me for more info. I would be happy to share the email chains proving all of what I'm stating here. There is no organization at all - I had to continually correct their mistakes and the same mistakes over and over with regards to our requests and day of organization. If I had not triple checked our invoice, we would have been charged an additional 14k. They are very skilled in leaving out important details regarding the financial expectation. Just so you are aware, they will charge all of your wedding guests the price of the highest plate served, even if only 1 guest out of 200 orders that higher priced dish. I have yet to hear of any other venue doing this. What bothers me the most about this is that no one ever mentioned this to us, which is blatant deception. I also had to work on my wedding day, because even though I had prepared the staff and coordinator months in advance for the day of, I had to execute most of the things they had promised to take care of. Their staff, while nice, are inexperienced and have very little time/people management skills. There were also points of the night where my bridal party caught the staff filming parts of our event and my MOH had to ask them to stop filming TWICE. Throughout this process I emailed the coordinator, saleswoman, the director of events, and the CFO to express my dissatisfaction. No one apologized for their inaction or disorganization and no one took responsibility for anything throughout the year of planning. If you have the money to spend on what I'm sure is the most special, important day in your life then go for it because this location is beautiful - but do yourself a favor and hire yourself a wedding planner not associated with the venue. If you are looking for the bridal experience, I would stay far away. -

We had our wedding here in August. To sum up our experience in one word it would be "disappointing" The only thing I was happy about with this venue is the remodeling. We had originally booked with the ABC Club and some months afterwards it was sold to Longwood Venues. From that day forward they made my wedding experience horrible. They completely stressed me out the week of the wedding with last minute requests, the meals served were WRONG, and they didn't follow any of our requests (MY FAVORS WERE IN THE BASEMENT WHILE GUESTS WERE LEAVING) I was extremely upset with my experience here as it is a day I will never get back. They are extremely unprofessional. I did reach out to complain and they did try to accommodate my loss however 4 months later it still breaks my heart as I look at pictures and watch my video of the reception. The venue is beyond gorgeous. But if I could have gone back I am not sure I would have stayed there. -

I would highly discourage brides/grooms on choosing NBH. Prior reviews while positive, look to be mostly from people that were originally having their wedding at Atlantic Beach Club (the venue they gutted and re-did) so I don't doubt their experience was good. The amount of problems we had before, DURING and after my wedding are endless. So much went wrong but I'll focus on the day of. We arrived to take pictures on the "private" beach but there were about 50 people on it so had to wait. After 30 minutes of failed attempts to get them off the beach, we had to take our family pictures in the parking lot. Right before cocktail hour they came to me to say they are a seat short and can't figure out why. My mom offered to help but they insisted they would be fine and of course, it wasn't. My guest stood around until they awkwardly made room for her. My cousin was served a chicken dish though he ordered vegetarian. They then came out to say they ran out of vegetarian, would he like a plate of mashed potatoes. I paid almost $200/head for him to be offered a plate of mashed potatoes. My bridesmaid stepped on glass outside from NBH's shattered balcony that happened the day before. A beach wedding with lawn games and a bonfire and their response verbatim "I guess we are wondering why she chose to take off her shoes." Oh, and they forgot to make our wedding cake so we don't have the memory, nor pictures, of cutting our cake on our wedding day. Our wedding day. The only one we will ever have. No money can give us that missed memory. Let me also share, we were offered many discounted concessions before these issues (they refunded us for my cousin's meal) but they were irrelevant to our experience (discounted site fee, ability to order classic chic menu, $400 in linens, comp tasting b/c we booked before the venue was finished,). I just wanted an apology. Period. Not endless excuses on why I "felt" I had a bad experience. Thank goodness for my others vendors who were AMAZING. -
