I'm a little late to this review, but it had to be done. Our wedding was 9/22/24 at Queen Anne's…read moreLoft. My husband and I wanted a venue that was both intimate and romantic. Queen Anne's was exactly that for us. We had about 75 guests, and were comfortable, but cozy. Here are some words that come to mind when I think of the space: chic, vintage, intentional, beautiful, versatile and lovely. Amanda, the owner, was great from the start. Patient, kind and helpful. Her experience was evident throughout our entire planning process. She worked with us to up to the very end, easing our little anxieties and assisting us with whatever we needed. The staff at Queen Anne's was amazing! We were so pleased with the above and beyond service. A room flip was needed after the ceremony, for the reception. It was done in a timely, efficient fashion, and for that, we (and our guests), were so grateful. Food was exactly what we expected- and delicious. We opted for food stations, rather than a formal sit-down dinner. Appetizer platters, salad, sliders and pizza. Everything was fantastic. No complaints from us or our guests. We had a blast! Our wedding was everything we wanted and more. Queen Anne's and Amanda have so much to do with our unforgettable experience! 15/10 recommend. P.S. Photos by Mat & Ash Photography (the best)

It perfected suited our smaller wedding, about 50 guests in all (Not including our musical quartet), and never felt rushed, cramped, or inconvenienced. The food was delicious, served timely to everyone with no issues. But the chandelier was the beautiful centerpiece highlighting the warm glow for an evening ceremony. Amanda was always available for any questions and there on the event day to ensure it started without a hitch. Would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a romantic and enchanting spot in Newport.

Through the whole process, they kept us informed of what was needed! We worked with Amanda, Elizabeth Ray, and Steven!

Thank you OceanCliff for making a special day for my daughter a truly amazing experience!!

Planning process: Our coordinator was repeatedly rude and condescending toward my mother throughout the planning process. She was also disorganized -- it took multiple rounds of corrections before she had our event details right. She also gave us incorrect measurements for pipe and drape, resulting in a $2,000 charge for a setup that couldn't be used as intended. Credit card fraud: About two months after our wedding, we noticed a fraudulent charge on the credit card we'd given the venue for our event. After investigating with our credit card company, we traced it to an email linked to this same coordinator's name, with an IP address in Newport, RI. We reported this to OceanCliff immediately. At first, they seemed genuinely engaged in getting to the bottom of it and asked us to file a police report, which we did. The Newport Police investigation confirmed the employee had stolen our credit card information and used it for personal purchases. Once the investigation concluded, OceanCliff went silent. Despite repeated requests, they never told us how our information was compromised, what changes they've made to prevent it from happening to other couples, or offered any acknowledgment of the time, stress, and violation of trust this caused during what should have been one of the happiest periods of our lives. We trusted this venue with our wedding and our financial information, and that trust was badly broken -- first by an employee, and then by a venue that stopped engaging once the legal matter was resolved. I can't in good conscience recommend OceanCliff to other couples.

Located in the midst of Roger Williams Park, this building features a brick exterior and verandas adorned with Ionic columns, semi-circular porticos and railings with turned balusters in the, Colonial Revival architectural style of the late nineteenth century. The interior walls of the first floor are constructed of hand-finished wood panels, the original floors are maple, and details such as beveled mirrors and an emerald green tiled fireplace lend a formal and elegant air to the surroundings. Upstairs, the Ballroom was used in the old days for special social events, especially during the '30's and '40's. That is where our event was held and it was a really roomy space. Loved the well kept hardwood floors and the plaster friezes and frescoes of cherubs and musical instruments that adorn the 20-foot ceilings. This grand room, with its birch floors, is painted in warm, rosy tones to evoke a sense of well being, a priority during the "Gay Nineties". At night, it is nicely lit up.

But if you're like me, you never really noticed it until you attended a wedding there. Purchased by the town of Narragansett and restored as an event venue in 2002, Kinney bungalow is a very nice space for a smallish wedding. The one i attended had the ceremony and cocktail hour outside the bungalow on the grounds, and the reception inside the bungalow. The background in early fall was very serene - view of a farm and the sound of birds in the air. The one negative is a layout -the space is basically a square, which is great, but in actuality it's the outline of a square, as the middle area is blocked off for the stairs, elevator, and built-in bar. This results in some strange sight lines - if there's something going on (like cake cutting) on one side of the square, depending on your seat your view might be obstructed. I was informed that only the space (and possibly the chairs/tables) came as part of the venue, so i won't include any ratings of the food here. To sum it up, Kinney is a solid choice of a wedding or other even venue for anyone looking to work in a little bit of Rhode Island flair.

This goes for the NYYC Harbor Court station in Newport, RI. Our Commodore was having his "Commodore Cruise" in New England and the closing dinner was to be at Harbor Court. Now, with COVID there was a limit on guests amd total crowd for a dinner. We had over 100 cruising ew England and over 80 were due for the final dinner. Add Henri the hurricane to the mix and we had some challenges for the dinner. We had cocktails on the front lawn. Then, the NYYC set is up outside in the motor court area for dinner. This allowed us to get our entire group together. Weather was perfect. Calm Before the storm as they say. We even had the opportunity to watch the clubs "colors" ceremony when they retreat the flag each evening prior to sunset. Now getting to the food and service. With COVID it is especially hard to find amd keep good servers. We struggle with that at our club. It here at the NYYC. First they had plenty of staff. A welcome reprise from those businesses who can't seem to ramp staff back up. Even more impressive, their staff are trained very well. Women first, serve from left, remove from Right etc... I was thoroughly impressed that during COVID, and the night before a major hurricane, the NYYC was able to host the dinner for the StFYC and do so at such a best-of-class level. If you have a chance to visit Harbor Court, don't miss it!

Although unassuming from the outside, the interior has beautifully preserved Newport architecture.

Due to a Folk Festival in town and being a last minute booking, I accepted the fact I was probably paying double the amount of what one night would normally cost. The day of my check-in I get a text that the room I originally booked was not going to be available because that person staying there needed another night. So I was asked to switch my room which I agreed upon. Turns out I was downsized from a Superior King room to a Deluxe Queen room at no price difference. Upon check out I realized they did not credit me the adjustment of downsizing my room as a courtesy to them even though it was because of their accommodation to another guest which inconvenienced me. I was charged more than double for my stay as compared to the regular going rate. I could have chosen to decline the downgrade considering I do live fairly close but my family was in town and I wanted to support local businesses. Second, breakfast is scheduled and posted to be between 8-10am and upon arriving at 8am there was no hot breakfast prepared for guests. I was expecting maybe some bacon and eggs to say the least, especially with the cost to stay the night in a room I didn't even want. The only thing available was a continental breakfast-English muffins, croissants, muffins, toast, and a Keurig for coffee. I asked a few other guests in the dining area about it and they said I can ask the kitchen to make me something and they were there the previous breakfast which the kitchen made food when there were more people there to eat it. I ate my English muffin and maybe 10 min later watched another guest come down and had to ask the kitchen to prepare her something for breakfast! The home itself is nice and cozy. Location is great. I just didn't have the best personal experience and certainly not worth 600 bucks!
