We had the most incredible wedding day at Regatta Place, it was an absolute dream!! We first fell in love with the venue during a tour with Susanne, and the space was even more beautiful than I could have imagined on the day and as it transitioned to night! Susanne was exceptional and provided us with all of the information we needed to make a decision on our venue, and continued to support us through the entire process. Maggie and her team were AMAZING, I could not speak more highly of them - Maggie was prompt to answer all of our questions, shared great recommendations that aligned with our vision for the day, and patiently reviewed all of the details thoroughly with us to make sure everything was in order (even things we did not know we needed to think about). We had the most stress-free wedding planning experience and our day went so smoothly, we could not be more grateful! Our day of coordinator Caitlin was super sweet and on top of things, and all of the staff was fantastic! We felt so happy, pampered, and celebrated on our wedding day and we keep getting compliments about the venue and our wedding!Photos by Created Coastal Photography! Reviewed on 31-12-2023

My husband and I had our wedding at Regatta Place this past June and I don’t have a single regret or bad thing to say about this incredible wedding venue. Everything about Regatta Place is beautiful and makes for an unforgettable backdrop on your big day. But what really made this venue stand out to me was the staff. We originally worked with Susanne Day who toured us around the venue the day after a huge snowstorm. Even trudging through knee high snow drifts on the docks, I knew how beautiful this place would be on a sunny summer afternoon. Susanne was incredible to work with. As a budget conscious couple, the thing we appreciated more than anything was a complete breakdown of the cost of the wedding, including all the typically hidden fees like tax and gratuity. Good luck finding that transparency at another venue – I sure didn’t! She even walked us through all the places we could save a little money and worked with us to make sure we got everything we wanted in our budget. I’m still impressed that the final cost of our wedding was almost spot on with our initial estimate from Susanne. She also knows everything there is to know about Newport and had great suggestions to keep our guests happy for the whole weekend. We then worked with our day of planner, Maggie Kane. I truly don’t have enough amazing things to say about Maggie. Her professionalism and organization made the planning process incredibly easy, and her positive attitude was calming and reassuring to a very stressed-out bride. She is the absolute best at what she does, and I’m beyond grateful that we had the opportunity to work with her. Kay was our event manager and, with help from the incredible waitstaff, she made the whole day go smoothly. I’ve never seen someone work so hard in my life. She checked in with us no less than a hundred times to make sure we were eating and had drinks. But what really impressed me was all the behind-the-scenes stuff she took care of. I thought my favors would just get put out on a table with my seating chart. Nope – Kay used their own décor to make the whole display look beautiful. From the bottom of my heart – thank you Regatta Place for the absolute best experience. And if you’re reading this and have made it this far in this review – HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE!!

I had my wedding at Regatta Place on 9/28/23. It was the most perfect day at the most perfect venue. Regatta Place is an absolutely gorgeous waterfront setting to have a wedding and the staff go above and beyond to make sure you and your husband or wife to be have the most amazing day. Even throughout the entire planning process the staff was helpful and responsive. Whenever I would have questions or ideas all I would have to do is send a quick email and within a day I would receive a response. I feel as though I had a nearly stress free wedding planning experience and that was largely in part due to all the help and advice I received from the staff at Regatta Place. As for the actual wedding day my husband and I were assigned a personal severe to attend to our drink and food needs. I found this to be a huge perk. I have heard from so many friends who got married before I did that the bride and groom ever get to eat at their wedding because they are always too busy going around to guests and thanking them for coming. While my husband and I were very busy thanking our guests our server made sure we always had a drink or hors d’oeuvre in hand which was fabulous. Not to mention immediately after the ceremony our personal server was waiting for us at the end of isle with our drink of choice. I don’t remember our personal servers name but she was so sweet and beyond attentive.Not only were we well cared for as the bride and groom but our guests were well cared for as well. It’s been three months since our wedding and friends and family still tell me how much fun they had and how much they loved Regatta Place. I highly recommend this venue for brides and grooms to be. If I could go back in time I wouldn’t change a single thing about my wedding. It was perfect. I would like to give a special thanks to Maggie and Kay for making for bringing the vision of my wedding day to life and making everything run so smoothly the day of the wedding.

We had a wonderful experience working with Regatta Place and I can’t imagine a more special wedding venue for us! The Regatta team was incredibly helpful, responsive, and creative during our entire planning process, and we always felt like we were in great hands. They always provided thoughtful, detailed responses to our questions and they went above-and-beyond to help us create an experience that was unique to us. Even when it rained, Regatta had a great backup plan in place — and we and our guests were still able to enjoy the beautiful dockside and waterfront aspects of the venue. The service throughout our reception was incredible – and our guests raved about how friendly and attentive the Regatta team was. We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding and we are so grateful to Susanne, Maggie, Kay and the whole Regatta team for helping to make everything so lovely! 10/10 we’d work with Regatta again, and recommend them to a friend!

Our wedding was at Regatta and it was fantastic. The staff was great and very attentive. Everything ran very smoothly. We even had a bit of rain mid-reception and the team at Regatta was quick with umbrellas and additional tents to make sure the guests were all covered. The location and views are perfect. In my opinion, nothing has a better setting for a wedding than Regatta. Reviewed on 28-10-2023

Regatta Place was our dream venue. Getting married on the water was extremely important to me and my partner, so having the ceremony and reception on a dock was absolutely incredible. The ceremony area flows right into the cocktail hour area, and then right into the reception, making for a seamless guest experience. And while the location and amenities are of the highest caliber, that's actually only half of what makes Regatta Place so special. The staff, Maggie especially, are the kindest and hardest working event team I have ever encountered. Not only are they professionals in every sense of the word, but they are genuinely excited to make your vision come to life. They worked tirelessly with us to make sure every detail was accounted for and then made it all happen. If you're nervous about it raining, this venue is still perfect! We thought up until an hour before the ceremony that it would rain, and while it didn't, I felt confident that everything would be taken care of by the Regatta Place team if it had, which meant we didn't have to worry about it at all!

Choosing The Regatta Place as our wedding venue was undoubtedly the best decision my husband and I made for our special day. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of extraordinary.First and foremost, Amanda and Maggie at The Regatta Place are the true stars. As a bride, I had high hopes for a stress-free wedding day, and they delivered beyond my wildest dreams. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to ensuring everything ran seamlessly were unparalleled. From the initial planning stages to the day of the event, they had everything under control. I was able to fully enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing.The breathtaking views of the water and surrounding landscapes set the perfect backdrop for our wedding ceremony and reception. I cannot count how many compliments we've received about how cool and picturesque the venue is. It truly added a touch of magic to our special day, and the memories we created there will last a lifetime.The Regatta Place offered us not only a beautiful setting but also a flexible and accommodating space that allowed us to bring our \"Garden Party\" at a Marina vision to life. In short, our wedding day at The Regatta Place was a dream come true. The staff's incredible support and the venue's stunning beauty combined to create an unforgettable experience for us and our guests.

This review is written by the MOB. Regatta Place is a unique and gorgeous wedding venue. And ALL of its staff -- and I mean every single person -- is EXCEPTIONAL. If you are looking for a Newport wedding that is both unique and quintessentially Newport (that serves delicious food) look no further. Planning a destination wedding can be a daunting task but with Maggie and Kay on your team, you can sit back and not worry about one detail. They are an extraordinary duo. No detail was missed. Our guests were so impressed at how seamlessly everything came together. And throughout the cocktail hour and reception every staff member was lovely and on point. Some of the comments we received from various guests are :\"Best wedding I have ever been to.\"\"The service was impeccable.\" (we heard this one a lot)\"We could not believe how delicious the food was.\"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will host another event at Regatta Place. My daughter and son-in-law are beyond delighted that they chose Regatta Place to host their wedding. Reviewed on 24-08-2023

Regatta place is an absolute fabulous venue with staff who exceed all expectations. We were a destination wedding and needed a team to handle all details for us as we really didn’t have the capability to fly out to RI multiple times during the planning process. Kay the banquet manager/director and Maggie the catering manager/director took care of every tiny detail. We had some specific requests(slight menu changes, swapping out alcohol preferences, etc.) and the team at Regatta didn’t miss a single thing! I DIY-ed my flowers and needed someone to set up the centerpieces and ceremony flowers for me, I had hair/makeup on the morning of the wedding, Kay ensured my vision came to life setting up the bud vases, table runners and ceremony pieces. Kay bustled my dress, coordinated everything with our vendors and was so kid and friendly the entire day. Leading up to the day of the wedding Maggie tracked every detail and maintained constant quick communication with us, answering all of our questions clearly and concisely. On the day of the wedding Kayley our personal server was so friendly and quick, we never had an empty drink or plate. Although we didn’t meet this team I want to shout out the grounds/facilities team who keep Regatta looking so beautiful. We literally had zero complaints about our day! Reviewed on 17-07-2023

Regatta Place was an amazing wedding venue! The venue is stunning and we received so many compliments from our family and friends about the views, as well as the food. After touring several venues, we knew right away that Regatta was the place for us! We first met with Susanne who was so communicative. Even after booking the venue, she continued answering all sorts of questions we emailed her about. She also sent us a really nice text in the days leading up to our wedding to wish us a happy wedding week! As our wedding day got closer, we worked with Maggie and on our wedding day we worked with Kay. Both Maggie and Kay had super calm demeanors and made sure every detail was taken care of.

From working with Galen who helped us secure our date and made the impossible possible, to Maggie who worked tirelessly leading up to our wedding to make sure we were on track and answered every question with patience and grace, to Jenny who led the day-of team and kept everything on schedule, fun, and just was amazing. The whole staff team was on point - for a June wedding, it was in the 60s and so they had heaters going to help keep our guests warm and comfortable. During cocktail hour, it started to drizzle and so they opened up the reception tent a little earlier to help keep everyone dry, and then when the floor got hot, they opened enough of the tent flaps to keep everyone cool. I heard from guests who helpful and gracious everyone was and it was the best knowing the venue we picked delivered world class service. And don't even get me started on the food... it was delicious! We still have friends reminiscing about the mushroom risotto and other dishes. The tasting prior to the wedding was seamless and they accommodated us with a member of our party being immunocompromised and sat us in a separate room from the rest of the event.

The Regatta Place team helped transform our wedding into the best day of our lives and we HIGHLY recommend this venue. While we toured and booked with Galen, my mom, husband and I primarily worked with Maggie Kane and boy were we lucky!Maggie was extremely down to earth, cheerful, and took her time explaining the way the venue operated. She was incredibly patient with us, very responsive to all of our many emails and organized with information. I work as a wedding planner for a venue just outside of Boston, and Maggie consistently made me feel 'heard' and helped translate my vision into a reality with the assistance of Kay, our incredible day of Event Manager.Immediately as we stepped off the trolley, from the hotel, Maggie and Kay were there to greet us and quickly assist with an emergency (after a groomsman fell and broke his leg getting off the trolley). Maggie and Kay calmly called 911, with the calmest of demeanors. This was a situation that really could have ruined the day, but the Regatta Place team took care of everything allowing my husband and I to still enjoy photos and start our ceremony right on time.This treatment extended to our guests and they could not believe how kind and attentive the Regatta Place staff were to them. The food was delicious (don't miss out on the raw bar and late night bites)! Before introductions, we had a beautiful spread of hors d'Oeuvres in the spacious wedding suite. The view of the Newport from the dock was breathtaking and many of our guests spent most of their time out there. And the sunset ... EPIC! We extended our reception by 30 minutes and we had so much time on the dance floor. At the conclusion of the reception we moved over the The Marina Pub and enjoyed a late night party with sliders, pizza and fries. Our guests devoured everything!!We are so grateful and appreciative of Maggie, Kay and Kaitlin (our personal 'captain' server), and the rest of the Regatta Place staff because they helped us and our guests feel so special.

Susanne Day went out of her way to show us all that Regatta offered, and remained a constant support with excitement throughout the whole process!!! Maggie Kane will go above and beyond on EVERY detail!! I emailed with her all the time and she made every detail and dream come to life! Our ceremony dock looked like a bride and groom's coastal vision with a full floral arbor, white sails and garden chairs, greenery on the chandeliers, and a stunning ivory runner. The Narragansett Bay is your breathtaking view on all angles of the venue! The reception room is out of this world!! We had stunning flowers, twinkle lights, a flower wall, custom signage: a warm dream space that the staff makes look like a bridal vision out of a magazine! Kay was my right hand ALL DAY!!!! She never left my side and made sure everything was perfect!!!!! Caitlyn was our private server: she followed my husband and I all night with apps, food, drinks. We were OBSESSED with her by the end of the night!! We would turn around, and she would have a drink ready for us!! Unlike anything we had ever seen!!! The food is by far the BEST wedding food you'll ever taste: scallops in bacon, coconut shrimp, crab rangoons, and most importantly, the Short Rib entree!! The portions and taste were something our guests raved about!! The bridal suite has an antique mirror that is a bride's dream to put her dress on in front of. The room has a safe for valuables, overlooks the water, and is so spacious for the whole bridal party!

Regatta Place brought our dream wedding to life, and we are so blessed to have the most incredible memories from what was the best day of my life!! And the staff will now be lifelong friends! If you are a couple looking for your dream coastal wedding, Regatta Place will give you that and more. I want to add: it rained on our wedding day! If you are afraid of having a waterfront wedding due to the possibility of the rain, don't be!!! Regatta is a well-oiled machine that makes everything look and run PERFECT rain or shine! They helped to ease my mind once we realized rain was inevitable. We got our photos and ceremony done rain free, but the clear sides were available and ready if needed! And once we were in the reception space, you have a beautiful waterfront view and are dry the whole time. Regatta had a cover over the bar that they use in the summer to aide with the sun, that was perfect for guests to be on the terrace or in the reception room during cocktail hour. From a bride that panicked when rain became a possibility: please don't! Your day will be STUNNING and PERFECT thanks to the staff and beauty of Regatta!

As we sipped our cocktails out by the ocean, I knew that OceanCliff was where I wanted to get married. After securing our date of May 8th, 2022, the entire staff really made the process very low stress. We worked with several different employees throughout the following months, each of whom was a joy! Individual accommodations were tailored to us to match our dream wedding, and it felt truly magical to be involved with this crew at this breathtaking location. Looking back, I’d almost think it was a fairytale. Come the day of the wedding, every single aspect ran perfectly from our perspective. Tears of happiness were continually flowing and the amount of love in that room could be felt from across the bridge. Our banquet manager, Stephen, catering manager, Alison, and our captain, Ray, were exceptional and I honestly could never thank them enough for everything they’ve done to ensure our wedding day was the best day of our lives. Thanks to the entire staff, with their unmatched service, dedication and pride to their workplace, and immaculate attention to detail, May 8th, 2022 was undoubtedly the most incredible day to be experienced.

Eric Howard(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-06-2022 What can we say? From the first inquiry and through the big day, Regatta Place was a well-oiled machine, but in the best ways possible. We were planning our wedding from 3000 miles and three time zones away, which was a huge challenge. Working with the Regatta team made the process so much better! We had lots of questions about logistics, set up, décor, the meals, the alcohol, staffing, how they handle different types of weather (you are in a tent by the ocean after all), how they handled pandemic restrictions, ideas on how to make the event unique and “us”, and they entertained them all. They were real and honest about how to approach the budgeting – where it paid to spend or save, tailoring their services to our budget. We had looked at many venues, not just Newport, but all over New England, and Regatta included ‘more’ than most other places. There weren’t a lot of add-ons, extra rentals or hidden fees, and still lots of room for event and menu customization. They made suggestions of vendors they had worked with successfully in the past but also other folks in the Newport area that had good reputation. They did it all without a hard sell, which is rare. Through continual communication and well-timed meetings, all the details were worked out in advance. When it was event day, we were all on the same page with what to expect. The funny thing is everyone we talked to in Newport said without hesitation ‘Oh, Regatta Place, they’re the best”. From conversations with Susanne in sales, to prep meetings with Maggie, the day of with Kay and Jenny, all the waiters, bar staff, parking attendants, etc., our family and friends raved about the staff, and how friendly and attentive everyone was. When they say to us “Your wedding was THE BEST!”, we have the Regatta crew to thank for turning a dream into reality. We booked Regatta sight unseen, which was a scary proposition for one of the biggest events in your life. Everyone was approachable, reassuring, and in the end, our wedding day went off close to perfect. We can’t thank them enough! Reviewed on 07-09-2022

Simple and straight forward contract, no hidden caveats, and an ALL INCLUSIVE venue with two mega yachts docked beside you...What more can you ask for? But the real stars of the this venue are Maggie and Jen. Maggie and Jen planned our dream day and brought our vision to life... They accommodated every request (bizarre or not) we made and made sure their entire team was on board. They were the MVPs in helping when my dress zipper broke, getting my dad down the aisle, and skipping the espresso/bar line ;). Maggie is SO knowledgable and amazing at what she does... She gave the best advice at our details meetings and thanks to her, our timeline was perfect. The food and RP servers are 10/10...

Julia Bogdan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-06-2022 From the start, my husband and I knew Regatta Place was the location we wanted to say our “I do’s”. They were professional, never pushed us to make a decision, and made us feel at home. Throughout the (stressful) planning process, they made our lives easier with their organization, punctual responses, and assistance. Our wedding day, 6/25/22, was when they truly blew us out of the water. The gem of the day was not the multi-million dollar yacht parked next to the dock, but Maggie and Kay. Maggie and Kay were superheroes. They had EVERYTHING under control, and executed my vision to a tee. They could not have been more thoughtful, kind, and professional the whole day. I recommend this venue to everyone looking for a unique location that will blow your guests away. Everyone loved the food, too!

Raquel Sa(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-09-2021 We knew we had our heart set on getting married in Newport and ideally on the water. When we first started looking at venues, we called all the well-known places including Ocean Cliff. I had a conversation with Susanne Day and she introduced us to Regatta Place – a hidden gem with everything we wanted for our special day. I am so thankful that Susanne shared this option with us as it turned out to be the perfect fit. When we visited Regatta, I knew it was “the one.” I literally fell in love. It was casual, yet elegant. It was private, yet in the middle of a working marina. Susanne was supportive, professional and never made me feel pressured. She felt more like a friend giving advice through the initial process of booking a venue. We were so fortunate to find days in September considering we were planning a wedding in the middle of pandemic where so many couples were rescheduling. Everything truly worked out perfectly and it continued on our wedding day. The planning process with Regatta was SO easy. The team at Regatta was always so responsive and knowledgeable of the wedding industry. We really are thankful for their guidance, especially when we weren’t sure how things would pan out with the pandemic. In addition, we are not from Newport so we heavily relied on their suggestions for vendors. Our wedding day was pure bliss. There were no hiccups whatsoever. I relive the day often in my mind. Our day-of team was AMAZING! I had read reviews prior where previous couples raved about Maggie Kane. When we found out we would be working with her, we were ecstatic. She truly made sure we as a couple were not stressed on the wedding day. She and her team took care of everything. This review honestly isn’t a fair assessment of the role Maggie and her team played in our planning and wedding day. We are blessed to have met the team at Regatta.Now let’s talk about food – OMG our guests raved about all the apps and main courses. During our tasting, we had such a hard time narrowing down our choices. The kitchen was super flexible to create a menu that encompassed everything that was important to us. Everything was absolutely delicious!If you’re considering Regatta, don’t hesitate. This is one of the best venues in Newport. Pictures simply don’t do it justice. It is a picturesque venue with unbelievable views, amazing food and a great team. Reviewed on 25-02-2022

In addition to its beauty, the entire team at the Newport Experience, which runs the Regatta Place, was amazing to work with. From the first meeting with Susanne, who helped us figure out how to make our dream wedding here possible, to Maggie, who helped us plan every detail for the reception, to Kay, who kept us well fed, hydrated and everything organized. Her poise and grace on site throughout the rush of the day was outstanding--especially when we had something unexpected pop up on our wedding day (unrelated at all to the property). I really couldn't imagine having worked with anyone else to plan my reception--this is white glove service from start to finish. I am misplaced pandemic bride and they minimized my stress and made transitioning my wedding date a breeze. On top of their professionalism---the reception itself was a BLAST! I still have guests reaching out to me telling me it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to. The food at Regatta Place was the best wedding food we have ever had. The appetizers at the venue were incredible, the entrees were cooked to perfection. Each plate felt like it was made for you specifically--not a room of 114. I can go on and on about Regatta Place. There is no lack of wedding venues in the region--and there are a lot of really pretty locations, but Regatta Place transcends them all with its ambiance, outstanding service and food. It's such a special place---you have to experience to understand. This is a hidden wedding gem in Rhode Island. Adore. Reviewed on 20-09-2021

When my husband and I got engaged and started planning for the big day the first decision that we made was to only entertain outdoor venues as we didn't know where the world would be with the pandemic and felt it would be the safest option for guests. My sister had recommended that we look at Regatta Place and we were so incredibly lucky that the day we called another bride had postponed her wedding to the following year and we were able to grab July 4th, 2021. That very day we ran over to Newport to see it for the first time before \"signing on the dotted line\". We were taken aback by the natural beauty the balance between easy elegance and party atmosphere. The team that we worked with; Amanda, Maggie, and Erin were unparalleled. They were all so kind, reassuring, and professional. As they day approached we experienced our second official heat wave and then a drastic turn with rain and a 30 degree drop in temperature. Throughout the entire final week the Regatta Place team reassured us that no matter the weather they would ensure that our guests would be comfortable and the flow of the evening would be smooth and beautiful.

Every detail was discussed and the day was executed flawlessly. I made the centerpieces and brought my own stuff to decorate the arbor for the ceremony and they set everything up perfectly for me. Stop looking around and just book them, I promise you will not be disappointed. Reviewed on 20-10-2019
Laura Coughlin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-07-2019 I knew Regatta Place was my perfect wedding venue the second I saw it, and it proved me right on the big day!The venue itself:It is absolutely gorgeous, especially for someone who loves being outside on the docks. Our wedding was mid July, and an absolutely gorgeous day weather wise so that was in our favor. But even on a colder day you can't beat the beauty of that spot. The wedding party has access to all of the dock space with beautiful high top tables set up on the side and comfortable couches and lounge chairs looking directly at the water. Inside the tent itself is also beautiful. So there's no shortage of fun spots for guests to hang.The staff:They couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant to work with! Right from the first day we checked out the space. It was like fate meeting Galen. We stopped by unannounced to see their sister property, Ocean Cliff and Galen was happy to take us around. Although it was beautiful there too, I knew I wanted to be right on the water. And that's what then lead us to Regatta Place-a gem I didn't even know existed. We were so grateful she was there that day and ready to help us out even though we didn't have a scheduled appointment, and she had a busy day ahead! Once we decided on Regatta Place, we then worked directly with Maggie and Andrew. I honestly cannot say enough good things about how well we were treated by the two of them leading up to the big day, plus the rest of the staff on the day itself. We arrived 2 hours earlier than planned as the original place we wanted to take pictures wasn't available. I was worried they wouldn't be ready for us. Well, they were! With champagne in hand and tasty treats for our wedding party. They made our special day and planning for our special day a very pleasant experience.The food-To be honest, this was the one thing we didn't have high expectations for. We don't typically find the food at weddings where the food is made directly at the venue, to be that impressive. And as foodies, that's always disappointing to us. Well, we couldn't have been more surprised the day of with how delicious absolutely everything was, from the appetizers, to the meals and then dessert. Everything was cooked to perfection. Even some of our guests who are notoriously hard to please when it comes to food, raved about it. So this was a very pleasant surprise for us!Bottom line-If you're looking for a beautiful venue on the water with friendly, helpful staff and delicious food, look no further than Regatta Place! And aim for a July or August wedding if you can. It will be warmer at night and you'll enjoy more daylight. Reviewed on 20-10-2019

She was timely with her response and was super helpful throughout the process. We also can't say enough about Maggie and Andrew. We had many back and forths with the menu and Maggie was able to handle all our requests. We chose a buffet and didn't want some items and we easily subbed them out. We also didn't want to do a cake cutting but a pizza cutting instead. And guess what! They made a pizza for us to cut! The venue speaks for itself. The tents are gorgeous and the lighting is perfect. Could we have added more lights-- sure but why when the bones of this place look amazing. Honestly I was sold on this place when I found out that the couches and the outdoor lighting were included in the cost. I knew I wanted couches for cocktail hour since no one likes standing, especially in heels. If I could do it again I would choose Regatta Place everytime! Reviewed on 01-08-2019

I felt like all my guests had such a good time, made a weekend mini trip out of it and loved being on the water (especially boat enthusiasts). The entire process was perfect and staff was pleasant. My only piece of advice for staff is to remember the details during the reception. I had some questions for staff during dinner and couldnt find anyone. Also the very end of the reception when guests departed got messy. The dj didnt know I had a water taxi and took a bit of time coordinating the water taxi....wish it was there waiting at the the conclusion of the reception, promptly at 11pm. Also, I forgot my veil as soon as I was about to walk down the aisle but they found it for me in a flash. They saved the day! Reviewed on 06-03-2019
Ashley W(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2018 We had our wedding at the beautiful Regatta Place in Newport, RI on a gorgeous October 6th day of this year (2018). My wedding, which included the ceremony overlooking the harbor and the majestic reception space, went flawlessly. The execution of the set up, timeline of events and delivery of appetizers, drinks and food was phenomenal. This is all due to the amazing work of Maggie Kane and Lauren Silveria, as well as their assistant Andrew and amazing servers, bartenders and valet of the Regatta Place. Maggie and Lauren were so helpful, responsive and accommodating from day one of booking the Regatta Place as our venue. I cannot thank them enough! The wedding guests were not only floored with the beauty of the Regatta Place, but also with the provided service, amenities and delicious food and drinks!

Kayla Doyle(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-06-2018 The Regatta Place is absolutely perfect! The minute my no husband and I stepped foot onto the venue for our tour we knew we had to get married there. You truly feel like you have your own private island for the night to celebrate without any outside distractions. I've been to so many venues where during the wedding/reception you can hear noise from an in-house restaurant, hotel guests are milling around, or there are other weddings happening at the same time. At Regatta Place this is nothing but you, your spouse-to-be, and all your loved ones! It is so special, and so unique! The staff/sales team is beyond words. Elsa, Maggie, Melissa, and Lauren were incredible. The team is so professional, yet personable. By the time the wedding day arrived, they all felt like they were family. They all truly want you to be happy and to make all your wishes a reality. They have a way of meeting your needs before you even knew you needing something. I truly appreciated being treated so wonderfully and all the hard work they put into making our day so perfect. Our guests were blown away by everything - the view, decor, service. It's hard to find a venue that is as inclusive as Regatta Place, and still affordable. There are little extras they offer that most places charge extra for. The food and drinks were incredible! So much better then typical wedding fair. The view is unbeatable, and our photos came out better then we ever could have hoped for. I can't say enough good thing about this venue or it's stellar team! I would recommend Regatta Place again and again! Reviewed on 11-10-2018
Lauren Bingham(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-08-2018 Regatta Place is truly special! We held our wedding reception here in August -it was actually PERFECTION! We chose this location for its beautiful view of the Newport Harbor and the gorgeous tent (if you even want to call it that). The fancy yachts parked up against the docks and the passing sailboats had our guests in in awe. BUT what really matters is their customer service! We worked with Maggie and Lauren, easily the most understanding, helpful, friendly, and dependable women I've ever worked with... right through the day of our wedding (and our Post Wedding Brunch). They had staff waiting on us, our grandparents, and our parents throughout the night bringing us drinks and guiding us along our event timeline. Our reception went so smoothly, I still can't even believe how absolutely perfect it was! They saved all of our decor and reused it for our brunch the next day. They even packed it all back up for us to take home. We barely had to lift a finger. I do not have one negative thing to say about Regatta Place or its staff, they are true professionals! Thank you for making our wedding truly unforgettable. Our family and friends will never experience a more beautiful event (they've said that themselves)! Reviewed on 10-10-2018

Maggie answered our emails quickly while also providing so much helpful information and easing our many worries or concerns. On the day of the wedding, Lauren was our coordinator and was the reason the entire day/night went off without a hitch.

Our recent wedding at Regatta Place on 7/29/18 went incredibly smoothly thanks to everyone especially Maggie! Maggie Kane, the wedding coordinator, was incredibly helpful and the best part of having our wedding at Regatta Place. The location was beautiful, we had an amazing ocean view and yachts all around us. Regatta Place and Maggie handled everything- the table settings, the ceremony and reception setup, guest arrivals. It was such a stress relief to not have to worry about the nitty gritty leading up to the wedding. The venue looked amazing when I arrived on the day- exactly what I wanted. The staging room upstairs was upscale and clean, we took lovely pre-wedding pictures there. The catering service and the food and drink were excellent. The only drawback was that as the night progressed the coordinators somewhat dropped the ball and we missed some planned events due to lack of someone to help us organize people and announce. All in all, however, we had a ball and our guests claimed it was the best wedding they ever went to. Thanks, Regatta and Maggie! Reviewed on 12-08-2018

Throughout the whole planning process, Maggie was invaluable with communicating quickly, answering our questions, and helping us to nail down the details we weren't sure about - all with a smile and a welcoming attitude. Once the day arrived, Maggie and Lauren made sure everything went off without a hitch and they were there to make sure we had everything we needed all day long - even finding us a lightbulb to step on at the end of the ceremony when we realized we forgot to bring anything! I cannot sing the praises of the Regatta Place staff enough.The venue itself is beautiful - so many of our friends told us how cool and unique it was. The food is the best wedding food I have ever had (I highly recommend the bacon wrapped scallops for cocktail hour!) and we were able to customize the bar to our liking. They were amazing with dealing with food allergies too! Every time we had an idea, even if it was a bit unconventional, Regatta Place found a way to make it work. Plus - when we decided to look at venues in Newport, we were dismayed at how expensive so many of them were, but Regatta's pricing was much more reasonable than many other venues in the area and we always felt like we were getting our money's worth and then some. I would highly recommend Regatta Place to anyone considering a Newport wedding - they go above and beyond to make sure your wedding is everything you dreamed of and more! Reviewed on 25-07-2017

I originally wanted to have my wedding at Oceancliff but it was a bit out of our Budget for the peak season. Elsa on their sales team was amazing, she recommended The regatta place where we ended up booking and it was amazing! Surrounded by million dollar yachts in this beautiful tent was astonishing! Elsa was a life saver because she was able to work with us while giving us a dream wedding. IDC was amazing because they had a preferred vendor list (which we booked a lot of our main vendors from), during the food tasting were we able to meet with all of their preferred vendors and see what they offered, it was like a one stop shop and helped us see what was available and the vendors our venue has worked with. We ended up booking the Aurora (their sail boat) for a ride around Newport for our friends and cousins in the afternoon and that team was amazing, everything was perfect and it was a great way to kick off the weekend! We also booked our rehearsal dinner at Oceancliff on their upper deck, it was a dream come true with a beautiful background and a gorgeous tent. Our family was blown away. Shauna was perfect to work with, she took care of everything that night and even add some extra flowers around the bar and buffet to give it a nice touch. Wonderful attention to detail. For our wedding, Sarah, Melissa and Melanie where our dream team, they were always super helpful, quick to respond on the 1,000 emails I wrote and beyond friendly.

The Regatta Place (Goat Island Newport, RI) location is “over-the-top” strikingly beautiful, and the experience, competence, great taste and focus on perfection in every detail by Galen (Sales), Sarah and Maggie (Banquet Event Managers), was simply outstanding. This team was easy to work with, made invaluable suggestions all along the way and had a wonderful way of dealing with all of our questions, suggestions and situations that came up! The Regatta Place staff was extremely accommodating, helpful and patient and answered every question - big or small. When I got to my hotel in Newport, I was so happy and confident knowing that every detail was addressed by the Regatta Place staff, as my daughter was basking in the joy of her “perfect day” with a huge smile on her face! The pre-ceremony bridal suite, located upstairs in the Goat Island Marina, made for a truly memorable and intimate staging area for my daughter and her bridesmaids, as they excitedly gazed down on the arrival of the guests for the ceremony. Once our beautifully intimate and touching “on-dock” ceremony was over, we were immediately greeted by the first of the Regatta Place servers with a endless flow for delicious hors d’oeurves, kicking off the toasting to our newlyweds. The cocktail hour, adjacent to both the ceremony and reception areas, was comfortable, charming, abundant and delicious, with its incredible dockside views of Newport harbor! We were completely caught off guard when the newlyweds to unexpectedly whisked away and invited onboard by the owners of a 150’ long Mega Yacht, which was docked adjacent to the venue. This was a “Kodak moment” that simply could not be passed on. Of course, the groom’s Marine Corps Officer’s Dress Blues uniform didn’t hurt. Maggie was right there effortlessly orchestrating this slight twist in the timeline. The actual reception area looked amazingly gorgeous, and the great service continued. And then there was Maggie again…ever present, head on a swivel, hard working, unflappable in directing the concert of the wedding - all that with a smile on her face in every instance!
