Newport Syndicate Reviews
Danielle Custer(other)5 out of 5 Rating
We got married at the Newport Syndicate on June 24th, 2023 and it was AMAZING! The team went above and beyond with communication throughout the entire process. We wanted a fun wedding with a big dance floor and a convenient bar but the Syndicate was so much more! My family and I have received so many compliments that this was the most fun wedding they have ever been too. Betsi, Courtney and Megan were extremely helpful from the minute we booked the venue to the days after when we could pick up all of our stuff. We were able to use some of the venues materials (flowers, easels, champagne glasses, etc) which saves us hundreds as well. They provided a STRESS FREE and tailored experience which made our wedding one of a kind. Thank you so so much to the team, we are so grateful and have the best memories! Reviewed on 19-07-2023

Without hesitation, I would 100% recommend The Newport Syndicate for a wedding, reception or any event that you might be celebrating. Betsi and her team are wonderful to work with. No detail is left unattended and their suggestions/help made for a wonderful evening. They even set up and break down your decor. We dropped it off the Tuesday before the wedding, walked in the afternoon of the wedding and was delighted to see perfectly arranged tablescapes. They also broke everything down and we picked it up the following Tuesday. The food was absolutely delicious. We opted for a buffet but they don’t serve the typical buffet fare. The beef tenderloin was probably one of the best entrees I’ve had—much better than many prime ribs I’ve been served. Real mashed potatoes. And if you are so inclined to offer an evening snack, opt for the macaron and cheese bar—it’s so good! We also used their preferred vendors for the music (Mark McFadden of McFadden Music, DJ Chris), Photo Booth (Signature Photo Booth) and photographer (Masterworks Photography). Because of their relationship with these vendors, everything flowed smoothly. The Newport Syndicate just couldn’t have been a more perfect space for us. Our guests raved about the venue, the food, the music, the atmosphere!! It was just a perfect night and the perfect place for a celebration!! Reviewed on 10-12-2023

Karen Grow(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-12-2020 I give the Newport Syndicate a 5+ rating. We booked the Oak Room for a Friday night rehearsal dinner for early December. Due to COVID and the interest of keeping everyone safe the Bride and Groom made the tough decision to limit attendance to the Bridal Party and immediate Family and canceled the rehearsal. I spoke to Samantha and asked if the event could be move to Saturday so we could have a small Wedding Dinner celebration. Both Betsie and Samantha were so helpful with all the last minute changes and open any of our last minute request including extending the event by half an hour. Tiffany and her assistant provided excellent service and the chef even provided a couple of extra surprises. While we were disappointed we could not celebrate with a larger gathering, the intimate setting provided by the Syndicate is a night my Son and Daughter-In-Law will always treasure.

Planning a wedding during a pandemic was the most stressful thing I have ever dealt with, but they stayed in close contact and did everything possible to make sure we would have the best day.

Emily Demary(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-09-2019 The Syndicate was the perfect place for our wedding reception, and I'm so happy we decided to have it there. A huge dance floor was one of the top things on our list and The Syndicate was the best place in town that we found for it. There were always people on the dance floor and the whole space is set up for your reception to be a huge fun party. So many of our guests told us how much fun they had, and how surprised they were that everyone was dancing the whole night, and that people who usually don't dance were out there. You can't not dance there! Betsi, Samantha, and Thomas were so helpful to work with. The food tastings were great (and the food at the wedding was awesome). They make their food in-house, so if something is particularly popular and running out they can just make more. We had a lot of decorations that we wanted to add to the space, and the team was so great about making the space tailored to our themes. The whole place had such a warm and inviting look and Thomas did a great job designing. We originally were planning on finding a rustic outdoor venue, but I'm so glad we went with The Syndicate because it looked so beautiful and had that same warm atmosphere. Having the huge bar next to the dance floor was also great, and the whole layout of the room was open and fun. It was also very easily accessible for anybody with the ramp and the open space. So many venues that we looked at were insanely expensive, and The Syndicate was such a good price for everything they offered. I'm usually one to plan every detail myself, but having an all-inclusive venue saved us SO MUCH stress. Highly recommend doing that because you can still get the end result you want since the team is so great at accommodating your ideas. Check out the pictures of how beautiful it was as well, they really can do so much with the space. Thank you Betsi, Thomas, and Samantha for giving us the best wedding reception we could have asked for! We'll remember it forever :) Reviewed on 15-01-2020

All of the staff were incredible, and several of our guests remarked on how they made the event feel very elegant and special. Our guests also unanimously agreed that the food was delicious.

We were planning an out of town wedding and they were very accommodating with working with our schedules for appointments. Samantha and Betsi were easy to work and get along with, were professional, and communicate well and in a timely manner. Samantha called the bride two days before the wedding, the wedding the weekend before paid for extra drapery and asked if we would like it for no charge! Also, she made sure things were getting done when they needed to. After our ceremony ran late Samantha made sure the reception and rest of the night ran smoothly.

The first time I viewed the hall I loved it but the personality of betsi and how she handled/ explained things is what convinced me to book with them. She answered all my questions and helped me pick my centerpieces/ decorations and everytime I would be hesitant or change my mind she gave me a different idea and showed me because I am a visual person. I had so many questions and she never once seemed bothered at all. She remember details about my wedding colors and another bride left stuff she didnt want behind and betsi saved them all to see if I wanted to use them before she threw it away. I used the flamingo room for my ceremony and the day of the wedding they was making sure everything went the way I wanted and that it went smooth. They are so friendly, outgoing, and kind. I would recommend the syndicate to everybody. The venue itself is beautiful and with Besti and Sam there running it makes it so much better. Reviewed on 09-09-2019

Vicky Reed(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-06-2019 The Syndicate was amazing to work with! My daughter and son-in-law held their reception in The Ambassador Room on 6/29/19. Samantha was very responsive to all my questions and emails. Everything turned out wonderful. I have had numerous people tell me that the food was the best food they have ever had at a wedding reception. As a matter of fact, one of the gentlemen that was at the reception told me (again) last night that he can still taste the food – it was that good to him! I also want to give a shout out to one of the servers at the reception. I don’t know what his name was, and didn’t even know this happened until after the fact, but one of our guests has a wife that is in a wheelchair and unable to walk. The server observed the situation with the guest and offered to help him get his wife a dinner plate. The server went with the husband through the food line and the husband instructed the server what to put on his wife’s plate, while also being able to fix his own plate for dinner. This couple is very special to us, so we greatly appreciate the server going the extra mile to make sure that the guest and his wife were able to eat together and that it did not cause the husband any unnecessary effort. You do not hear of things like that happening too much these days, so I applaud the server and the Syndicate for going the extra mile for your guests!!!

Kaleigh Dillingham(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-03-2019 We were married at the Syndicate in March 2019.Obviously, the venue has an amazing and unique style - that's one of the first things you notice about it, and it's best seen in person. We were married in the Grand Ballroom and had our reception in the Ambassador Room, so our guests got to experience the whole place. We had around 250 in attendance, and there was plenty of room for them.During the planning, Betsi and Sam were helpful, energetic, and organized. They are both knowledgeable and they really put in the effort to make sure we had everything we needed. If I have one piece of advice for couples, it's to make sure you do your part to stay on top of communication, because there is always a lot going on here.On the big day, they were on top of everything, attentive to our needs, and made sure all the vendors and wedding party were where they needed to be. The entire event went off without a hitch, thanks in no small part to their diligence.I especially want to call out Betsi and the chefs for going the extra mile with our food. We wanted to go all-vegetarian, and there weren't that many options available on their \"stock\" menu. Betsi and the kitchen worked with us - we traded recipes, Betsi arranged special tastings, and we iterated until we landed on the perfect menu, which they found a way to make for us without any extra cost. We got tons of positive comments about the food and couldn't be more grateful to the Syndicate for going out of their way to make it so tasty and memorable. Reviewed on 20-06-2019

Guests said they never have had such great tasting as what The Syndicate prepared for the wedding. The bar staff was happy to serve and accommodating to each guest. The servers were kind and smiling with joy as they greeted all the guests. They also made it so easy for us to walk away from the evening and not worry about anything and know everything we need to pick up after the wedding is well cared for. This made the evening to know this. The administrative staff and owner the entire year long process made my daughter and me feel as if we were their priority.

Lee Richardson(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-05-2019 The Syndicate was absolutely perfect!! We were married in May 2019 and used the Grand Ballroom with 325 guests. Here is what stood out:1) Communication: Betsi and Sam were our main contact people, and this is what I think makes the venue stand out. They are so easy and fun to work with. From the start, Betsi was incredibly informative, energetic, flexible, and helpful. She was prompt to reply to our email questions (we live out of town, so most of our communication was via email) and she even face-timed us a couple of times for us to see the set up of the room. She thought out all the small details, and has tons of experience that made our preparation and special day flow smoothly. They even helped us out when we had a couple of other vendor issues during our final week of prep, which was a huge relief and much appreciated. They are AMAZING!2) The space: The grand ballroom itself is an amazing venue. We knew we wanted to have a party with space for a large band, and I can say the physical space did not disappoint. We have a 9 member band that fit easily on stage, and had the dance floor full all night long. The food line was efficient via Captains call (our 325 guests had their plates filled on Buffett in 30-40 mins), which made our transitions to First dance, best man/MOH speeches seamless.3) The Bar: The bar is customizable which we greatly appreciated. We ended up buying bottles of Bourbon, Liquor, wine, etc... at a slightly upcharged price, but there is also the option to use the Syndicates \"upgrades\" if needed. We were very happy with our bar package and pricing.4) Personalization: While the space is very large, Betsi and Sam allow you to create the space you desire for your special day. We ended up having a candy/dessert bar near the entrance which was a hit, and we also had a great late night snack of chili cheese coneys which our out of town guests LOVED! Reviewed on 04-06-2019

From our first visit, signing the contract, countless calls/plannings to reduce my stress all the way to the final day - everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and respect. My daughter has a slight disability and we visited many venues before choosing the Syndicate. Many spoke over her or didn't address her at all. Betsi spoke to her, included her and treated her like every bride should feel--- special!! This speaks volumes to the type of service the Syndicate provides. Betsi and Samantha had wonderful ideas to help add to the vision we had for our daughter's big day. Who needs a wedding planner when you have such wonderful ladies at the venue.The food was incredible and the venue looked absolutely stunning.

I only wish I could have made a to-go box so I could have taken some for after the wedding (The staff does a great job of trying to make sure you have a chance to eat, even bringing hors d'oeuvres to the bridal party while we were doing pictures, but it was hard to find time to eat).The staff were all so friendly and was always there to offer help and assistance.Also it is a reasonable priced venue.

We had many details to our decorations and table settings, and the staff executed the set up of every single one of them. The room was beautiful, the food was terrific and the acoustics for the band were perfect! One of my funniest memories is when Betsy dashed to the bridal table and grabbed my daughter’s bouquet, then sprinted to the entrance where the bride and groom were turning the corner as they were being introduced. In stride, Betsy promptly made the perfect hand off as the bride’s arm went into the air. In addition to the wedding cake, my daughter wanted my cookie cakes to be served at her wedding.

KaMariea Magette(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-05-2018 I recently had my reception at the Newport Syndicate and I felt it only fair to give an honest review for brides-to-be. I picked this venue because:1) I loved the draping on the walls, piano and chandelier;2) The price was good compared to other places; and3) I could use my own vendor for cocktail hour which was important in able to incorporate my husband's culture. Betsi (the coordinator) is professional and I liked working with her. She's hard to get ahold of in email, but she's happy to see your vision and do her best to bring it to life. I discussed my vision with her and Sharon (the owner) 8 months before my event and several times leading up to. However, closer we came to my event date the more frustrated I was. e sure to ask the right questions; they want to charge extra for napkin folding. What put me over the top was that just 5 DAYS before my wedding (after they received full payment) Sharon called me saying they weren't sure if my dinner serving style (family style dining) would work - keep in mind I had discussed this style with Sharon in May 2017 and Betsi throughout this time. She said they were worried it would take too long and I should switch to buffet or plated. The day of my event went well and my guests enjoyed their food and the look of the space. Whatever went wrong I didn't notice because me and my husband had to leave earlier than planned.Overall, I would not recommend the Syndicate because I felt like they added to my stress rather than alleviating it. However, be mindful that you get what you pay for - their pricing is below market avg for this area. Ultimately, see the space and make whatever decision you feel is best. Reviewed on 23-05-2018
Danielle Natorski(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-02-2018 We were married on February 26th at the Syndicate and it was truly magical! First off - the entire planning process leading up til the big day was outstanding. Betsy and Samantha were always professional, great with communications, extremely helpful, and knowledgable about their jobs. We also did our rehearsal dinner with them and it was beautiful and wonderful as well. I dropped off many things to them 2 days before the wedding (such as place cards, favors, decorations, etc) with some notes of how I wanted things to look - and they made my vision come to life better than I ever imagined. The room was setup perfectly and was truly like my dreams come true. We were married on the weekend of severe rain and flooding in NKY (fun right :P) and the Syndicate was awesome about letting us as the bride and groom get there a little early (since our pictures got cut short). They let us walk around the room before anyone else was in there, it was like a private tour of our own wedding space, it was a really special moment. They were also very accommodating as they let us and our bridal part use the side room to hangout and relax during cocktail hour (and since we were there a little early).. and they sent any guests that arrived early to the Dueling Piano Bar, which my guests LOVED! Then as cocktail hour started, they escorted my guests into the main space and let us and the bridal party use the piano bar for some pictures. They made the whole thing (even though it was unplanned and unexpected due to weather) run very smooth and I really appreciated their extra accommodations. Throughout the night the staff was helpful and professional. At the end of the night my groom and I left on our own, and the Syndicate staff was wonderful with my parents and helped them pack up our gifts to take with them. Then they held the rest of my decorations and stuff to pick up for a few days and I was able to go back during the next week, after family had left town, to pick everything up. They had it all ready and packed for me - it was wonderful! Truly from first impressions to the planning process to night of to the post party process the Syndicate was WONDERFUL and a dream come true for a wedding venue! HIGHLY recommend to everyone!

Chelsie Batchelor(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-11-2016 If you are planning a wedding, I seriously advise going else where. I had nothing but problems with the syndicate regarding my big day. It was so bad that I even went through 2 wedding planners. I don't know if they were fired or if the just quit. But I would make plans and then not hear anything back. Come to find out my planner was gone. We were invited to tastings then told we couldn't go, then told we could. My in laws are from out of town, spent a lot of money on plane tickets just to go to a tasting that was scheduled and guess what. We were told we couldn't go to the tasting again! That was super irritating. They waited less than a week to tell me what I owed them for my final payment which resulted in complications paying other vendors off. I found a string in my potatoes. A janky blue string that looked like used dental floss which I have multiple witnesses of. I was told that the owner would call and talk to me about this. It's been 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything. I could keep going but thinking of my experience is just frustrating me. Mistakes happen, but mistake after mistake is not okay.

Krissanna Washington(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-08-2013 Overall my reception turned out great and the service the day of the reception was great as well, however I am rating them a 3 due to several issues that arose prior to the event. As a bride, you would think that the last source of stress would come from one of your vendors that was paid in full. This was not the case with this vendor. First of all, there were several surprises that came up that were not mentioned when we made our decision to book with them. First and most importantly is that there is no parking and guests would need to pay to park, this major detail should have definitely have been brought to our attention at the initial showing. Next, there is a DJ booth in the reception room, but your DJ cannot use it. Instead he will be at a table next to the booth, and lastly that they will set up your decorations according to your specifications. After being told at the initial booking that I would just need to bring the stuff in and show them how I wanted it set up, they changed the story to I would need to come in the day prior to set everything up despite it being in the pricing quote. Keep in mind my reception has not taken place yet. Okay, I suck up all of this and move forward as the deposit has been paid and the date is approaching. The week prior to my event, I am sent a seating chart to arrange how I would like it set up and told to send it back how I would like it by a certain day. I did so, it took me 2 days to arrange my seating chart I worked hard on it. Only to receive no response on the due date I was given. The next day, I received a call at work that my seating chart would not work and I needed to reduce the number of tables, even though the number of tables I sent back were the number of tables sent to me. All of this early in the week that my reception was taking place. I had to spend more time redoing my seating arrangements. Not what I should have been working on the week of my wedding. As a bride, you would not expect to be stressed out by the vendor that you have spent the most money on before the event even takes place, you sacrifice and work hard for your money, and receptions are expensive. The end result was beautiful, but given the chance to choose again, I probably would not go with this vendor as they did not fully disclose important details to me at the initial showings and they stressed me out at the last minute. I had to fight for every request I made, which made me question what I was paying for if they cannot honor any of my requests which were not major or extraordinary (ie: setup chair sashes as promised and quoted and allow empty tables should unconfirmed guests arrive). If you can't do these things, then what can you do for my money? In the end my requests were honored because I was unable to come and setup the day before due to them booking another event, and the planner allowed me to keep the number of tables she sent me, but who wants a major headache before their event, or to be hoping everything goes well the day of their event because they have had so many minor issues arise beforehand. You really want to be focused on yourself that week, unfortunately I was unable to do so even though I had done nothing wrong. The planner was so overly concerned with tracking my guest count that she overlooked customer service and may have forgotten about what it feels like to be a first time bride. The food was great, the room looked great, and the staff did a great job that night. Reviewed on 18-08-2013
