    Wedding Welcome Party Success!

    We hosted our wedding welcome party at the Landing in late October. Amanda and her team went above and beyond to make it perfect. The location was beautiful for enjoying the sunset over the Harbour, the food was great, the audio and music worked seamlessly and the staff were super efficient at making sure everyone was fed and had drinks! Thanks so much again for the best evening!

    Beautiful Spot for a Rehearsal Dinner

    We hosted our Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Drinks at The Landing, and it was the perfect place to kick off our wedding weekend! Guest raved about the gorgeous sunset view, the food was delicious, and the staff was all warm and welcoming. We gave out our welcome bags at the event (instead of at the hotel), and they were very helpful in setting up a table for our bags. They also made signs outside to let our guests know they were in the right place! The only downside to events at The Landing is that the room is not handicap accessible, so keep that in mind if you have guests who need elevators. We will definitely be back in the future!

    Perfect Venue for Intimate Wedding

    We held our ceremony and reception here for about 45 people and couldn’t have picked a better place! The space is beautiful and Amanda and Sarah are both extremely helpful and communicative. People raved about the food and everyone had an excellent night!

    A perfect spot for a Welcome Reception!

    Fabulous location, superb food - The Landing was a great choice for our Welcome Reception of 150 out of town guests the night before our son's wedding! It showcases the beautiful Newport Harbor with the Pell bridge in the distance - fully illuminated when the sun sets! Breathtaking! And the food was wonderful - appetizers and a buffet dinner for 150. The staff was outstanding and very professional in planning the event. Amanda R. represented The Landing and was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with all details, large and small, for our Welcome Reception. She also recommended other vendors who were excellent and added to the success of the evening (baker, day of host, etc). I would recommend this restaurant for those thinking of a scenic location in the heart of Newport with wonderful offerings!

    We were so lucky to find the Landing!

    Thank you... thank you... THANK YOU to the Landing and it's staff. From start to finish the Landing was the perfect venue for our wedding with 106 guests - from every perspective (space/food/service/etc.) the Landing exceeded my (already high) expectations!

    Amanda and Briana who coordinate events are a dream team! Amanda is simply amazing at what she does - so patient, prompt and responsive and never missed a beat with months of me peppering with tedious questions. The night of, Briana orchestrated everything seamlessly. The Landing is insanely lucky to have them both!

    The Landing made our wedding day nothing short of perfect. We (and our guests) had a phenomenal time. The weather forced us...

    We hosted our Rehearsal Gathering and Meet and Greet (155 guests) at The Landing in September, 2018.
    Amanda Roderick’s professionalism, attentiveness, grace, and humor combined to make the perfect experience.
    The venue is beautiful with magnificent sunsets. Our menu was superb and the service was outstanding. Our evening was perfect with incredibly positive feedback from our guests.

    We chose to host our welcome reception here at The Landing, and the food and service was excellent. The views are incredible and the staff was helpful in accommodating the setup of decor. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking to do an event here in the future.

    Our October wedding was capped off with an amazing celebration at The Landing. The space was perfect for what we wanted for our reception. The space is intimate enough where you feel close to your guests but spacious enough to dance and mingle. If our guests weren’t on the dance floor they were out enjoying the deck. The food was excellent! Amanda was extremely patient through the planning process and kept the night running well throughout the whole event. Highly recommend! Thank you!

    My wife and I got married at the landing on May 19, 2017, and it was nothing short of amazing from start to finish. Amanda (the event coordinator) really made us feel comfortable from the beginning. With her insight of the local area, knowledge of how the night should flow, and overall attention to detail, we were nothing short of impressed. She was extremely prompt, and attentive whenever we had a question or concern.
    When we arrived, there was a buzz in the place. The outdoor bar was packed, and there was also a really fun band playing. People we didn’t even know were buying us drinks and cheering us on. The atmosphere really got all of our...

    We recently had our wedding at the Landing and could not have been more pleased! Amanda, the events planner, was great to work with from start to finish - she was very responsive to all of my emails and questions throughout the planning process, rehearsal and wedding day. We had 80 guests in the upstairs Waterfront Room with our ceremony on the dock at 6 PM. The sunset was AMAZING and made for great photos. The food was great, we received a lot of compliments, and there is a wide variety of food to choose from. The Waterfront Room is perfect with full height windows/doors that open to allow for an outdoor wedding feel and great views of the...

    The Landing was the perfect location for the Rehearsal Dinner for my son & his wife in May. As our guests enjoyed drinks before dinner, they also enjoyed seeing a beautiful sunset over the harbor from our private function room upstairs. Amanda was a pleasure to work with. She was easy to reach & always responded promptly to any questions I had via email or phone. She offered great suggestions on menu/ bar choices, as well as room setup & decorating. We dropped off the boxes of my decorations during the afternoon of the event & when we walked into the room the evening of the dinner, it looked even more beautiful than I imagined it would look, thanks to Amanda!
    We are so happy we started off the Wedding Weekend at The Landing!

    We loved our outdoor dockside wedding at The Landing. From the very beginning, the staff was extremely helpful and responded to any emails and questions quickly. The venue itself is intimate and unique which was perfect for the 85 guests at our wedding. If your are looking for a casual, relaxed, romantic wedding, this is a great choice!

    We had our wedding reception at The Landing in May of 2017 and it was perfect. We had a cocktail style reception for around 175 people with passed hors d’oeuvres and a buffet dinner. The food was great and we have heard nothing but good reviews from our guests. They especially liked the mashed potato bar. Amanda was great to work with throughout the entire planning process. She was very responsive and receptive to our ideas and any concerns we had. Everything turned out great and everyone had a fun time. We are happy we chose The Landing for our reception and wouldn't have wanted to go anywhere else. It is a great value and you really can't beat the location.

    Best Day Ever is an Understatement!
    The Landing Restaurant was the ideal place for our wedding. Not only is this our favorite place to hang out, eat, and enjoy drinks on a regular basis but, it was the perfect place for us to share our special day with our loved ones. Amanda was a pleasure to work with. She was always reliable and helpful in every aspect of the planning, day of events, and even after the wedding. She was my life saver! It began to pour just hours prior to our planned dock wedding. Amanda could see the concern in my face, she was so easily able to calm my nerves. She was able to problem solve on...

    We had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Landing on May 14, 2016, and I cannot say enough good things!! The location was beautiful and the perfect spot for our event. The Landing hit every requirement we had for a venue - especially on price. You cannot, cannot beat the incredibly reasonable cost of an event at The Landing, especially given the location. Located in the middle of Newport on Bowen's Wharf, The Landing is exactly where we hoped to be married, and we never expected to be able to get exactly what we wanted at such a reasonable price. The event room with 3 walls of french doors gives you an incredible view of Newport Harbor. And...

    We hosted a welcome party for our wedding guests at the Landing on Friday the 16th of October. My husband and I visit Newport frequently and always start our weekend out at the Landing so it seemed only appropriate to start off our wedding weekend with a welcome party for all our guests there. We cannot say enough about the level of service we received from the Landing. We rented the Waterfront Room and it was really beautiful when all set up. The food was amazing and the staff so helpful and friendly. The location is beautiful, overlooking the harbor. We caught the sunset which was breathtaking. The Landing staff set everything up for us and were so sweet...

    We had our rehearsal dinner at The Landing and it was lovely. We needed a private dining room large enough to accommodate our ~80 guests. The Landing’s second floor dining room has a gorgeous view of the harbor and it was the perfect setting for our Friday evening clambake.

    Amanda Roderick, their events coordinator, is so lovely to work with and very flexible. In our family, the rehearsal dinner is almost as important as the wedding itself. We had lots of toasts, requiring not only audio equipment, but timing between meal courses. Amanda worked with our wedding planner, videographer and our emcees (best man and man of honor) to make sure everything went smoothly. The wait staff...

    We feel so fortunate to have found The Landing as the venue for our ceremony and reception. Between the views, location, service, and food - we were THRILLED! Our guests are still raving about our wedding and we feel the same way. Thank you for Amanda, Sarah and the entire staff of The Landing for all you did to make this the best day of our life. I felt ZERO STRESS the entire time. You gave us the gift of TRULY enjoying our day. Thank you.

    Had our 40 person rehearsal dinner here. Awesome views, our guests loved the venue that overlooks the docks and water. We got a beautiful sunset. The room is spacious and has a bar. Our guests were able to mingle in bar area before dinner, which we did buffet style and was great. Good value, the room charge does fluctuate based on season. Amanda was awesome on setting everything up day of and coordinating with us.

    Perfect venue for a newport reception! Great views, food, and space for a medium sized wedding. People are still talking about their meals and the amazing views of the harbor at sunset. Would defiantly recommend The Landing!
