Our wedding coincides with the Newport Boat Show so we highly recommended booking promptly if you choose to stay!
Where is the venue?
On Goat Island, accessible via a causeway in Newport, RI.
Where can I stay in Newport?
Please visit the travel tab for our accommodation recommendations.
Where should I park?
Our venue has free valet parking. You are able to leave cars overnight at Regatta Place. If you are staying locally, there are also Uber/Lyft services available. Or take a water taxi from downtown!
I decided to leave my car, now what?
If you’ve decided to leave your car overnight you can either leave with the keys from the valet before leaving Sunday night or they will be available to provide keys the next day between 9am-12pm.
When should I arrive?
Please arrive 30 minutes before ceremony time. Traffic may be heavy in Newport due to boat weekend so please plan accordingly. This way you will have time to drop cars to valet, find a seat and get comfortable. At the 4:30 mark the doors to the boardwalk will be closed to prepare for the wedding. We thank you for your understanding!
Should you choose to arrive earlier than that the venue will direct you to the pub just across the street if you'd like to grab a drink!
What should I wear?
Semi-Formal Attire. Please be aware that Regatta Place is an outdoor venue. The ceremony and reception will be taking place on the dock.
Are kids welcome?
As much as we love your children, our wedding will be an adults only event. Enjoy a parents nice out! Thank you for understanding.
Is there a hotel block?
Due to our wedding taking place during boat show weekend we weren’t able to secure a hotel block. However, we’ve put together a list of hotel recommendations on our Travel page to help with your search.
Can I bring a guest/date?
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Thank you for understanding and please feel free to reach out with any questions!
When do I need to RSVP by?
We kindly ask that you RSVP as soon as you can so we can continue our planning process accordingly. However, the deadline is August 1st 2026. If we haven't received your RSVP by the deadline we will have to assume you won't be attending.
Can you accommodate food allergies?
Yes, please notify us of any food allergies or dietary restrictions on your RSVP.
