Browse through 7 stunning Newport, Rhode Island wedding venues. As a photographer, I can tell you that these are some of the best wedding venues in Newport!
Rosecliff
The Rosecliff, built in 1902, was inspired by a Versailles garden. It’s impeccably reserved and is one of my favorite Newport wedding venues to photograph in. The romantic archways, faded whites and luxurious green gardens create an experience like no other.
Rosecliff Features
- Fits up to 300 guests
- Has charming details from sophisticated panelling to white terracotta tiles and grand fireplaces
- Many refined rooms to celebrate in, including a dining room, salon, billiard room and more! Take bridal photos on an impressive staircase!
- Plus three suites for you or your guests to stay in!
Belle Mer
Belle Mer is a secluded Newport wedding venue with a seaside location and rose gardens. It’s a must if you’re looking for a luxurious wedding venue. Moreover, the salt-filled air and ocean winds add a sense of adventure and romance to any wedding.
Belle Mer Features
- Accommodates between 450 and 1,000 guests depending on the event (seated or cocktail parties)

Nautical elements and luxe details come together in this marina venue at the Bohlin! Say your vows with waves crashing in the backdrop and sail away after your “I do’s.”

Aldrich Mansion
Aldrich Mansion is technically just north of Newport, but it’s too captivating not to include on this list! It’s a French chateau, host to European styles and historic craftsmanship. Consequently, it’s more stately and less nautical, resulting in a refined wedding experience.
