Carnegie Hall at Newport

ts history, elegance, and prime location in Newport. From start to finish, the process was smooth and seamless. A truly worthwhile investment as the team will take care of everything from food, to decor, to wedding coordination. This was important to us because we wanted an all inclusive kind of experience that would allow us to be able to truly enjoy the wedding rather than stress about planning. Fortunately, Delightmore offered just that. We felt we were in good hands from our first planning meeting. Even when the sales rep changed halfway through the process, this impacted no part of our experience in any way. The process was broken down into 3 stages - an initial meeting including to choose design elements, a tasting, and a final planning meeting a month out. With each step, I felt all the more assured. The food was delicious. We received many compliments on the food and alcohol alike. Also, the venue was AMAZING at catering to my fiancé’s dietary restrictions - which can certainly be tricky as he is gluten free and pescatarian. However we had no issues with him or other guests with dietary restrictions. I also felt like we were able to customize many aspects of our experience to suit our unique preferences and budget alike. I was also very comforted (as a type A planner through and through!) with the fully regimented schedule crafted by our sales rep and coordinator. I could tell our family was also impressed with the customer service we received. The day came and it was the best day of our lives, thanks also in large part to the Carnegie venue/Delightmore team. As soon as we arrived, there was a staff member available who regularly checked in with us and gave us everything we needed. We had lunch served just before noon which was also delicious. Throughout the day, various vendors showed up, and I had to do very little actual coordinating with them since the venue did so much of that (the venue also has a list of vendors they’ve worked with in the past, which was very helpful and aided in providing excellent service). A staff member who also aided in our rehearsal and helped us walk through it again right before the ceremony, which was extremely helpful. They were excellent at keeping me and my fiancé “hidden” from each other or family when we needed to be. Finally, the ceremony came. The planning process helped keep my mind at ease. One friend commented that the venue team took everything so seriously, they were speaking in headsets to each other like they were in the CIA, LOL. This helped keep timing on point. The staff also had excellent suggestions based on their knowledge and expertise of guest experience and overall wedding coordination. I was ecstatic walking back down the aisle, and my excitement only continued during the reception. Staff members did a great job balancing giving us our space but also checking in to see what was needed. Dinner came out for the bridal party promptly and it was simply decadent. I spent the rest of my night able to fully focus on my loved ones as we danced the night away. I was really impressed at the end of the night with the help of all the staff members who packed up all of our belongings and took care of it all. My one complaint? That it was only one day (boooo!) Choose Carnegie/Delightmore - you won’t regret it!
