Our wedding weekend in Newport was held back in July and included three events: a welcome drinks event at one of the Bowen's Wharf restaurants Friday evening, a Polo Party on Satur...
day July 22nd against Ireland, and the actual wedding at Castle Hill on Sunday.
While everyone enjoyed the welcome drinks, and loved our wedding event, the Polo Party is the event that our friends most frequently talk about. Everyone is asking to come back to Newport this summer to partake in the outdoor fun!
Hosting a pre-wedding polo party was the perfect way to have a memorable and unique event for all ages. We would highly recommend this to anyone getting married in Newport!
We rented the main tent for our wedding guests the day before our wedding. The match was fantastic and our guests loved the unique experience. Highly recommend!
We had our engagement party at the Newport Polo Pavilion on September 30, 2017. The weather got our day off to a wet start, but cleared up for game time! Ryan was more than helpful...
getting everything set for the party. Our friends and family had so much fun at their first polo match, definitely a venue worth checking out for a unique party!
We had our wedding reception at the lovely Newport Polo Pavilion. The entrance to the pavilion gives a great first impression, where guests drive down a stunning tree-lined road su...
rrounded by stone walls and green fields. There are many beautiful backdrops for photos right on the property - stone walls, white fences, horses, trees, fields, etc. We and our guests enjoyed this beautiful setting by playing lawn games during cocktail hour and partying under the tent during the reception.
Leading up to our big day, Dan and Agnes were very helpful with the planning; answering our many questions by email and meeting us at the venue multiple times. They provided the tables, chairs, bar, and sound system, so it was helpful we didn't have to rent any of that. More importantly, they assisted with all the layouts, prep work and even did sound checks! Parking is easy; there's a lot across the way, and you can park in the lawn area but we did not want the view obstructed.
We had 110 guests and there was room under the main tent for the bar, banquet, gifts/guest book table, a seated dinner, and our first dance. There was plenty of lawn area inside the pavilion fence to put our lawn games, so everyone could stay close. We originally planned to have dancing in the part of the pavilion that's outside the tent, but it rained after dinner, so we had to move a few tables to make room for a dry dance floor. The tent does have sides that can come down, but we were having so much fun that we forgot. For music we used our own playlists; there was a cord available to connect our phone to the sound system as well as charge it, and it sounded great throughout the pavilion and surrounding lawn.
This venue was convenient for the vendors. There was space behind and to the side of the pavilion so our caterers and helpers could drive right up to it. Also convenient were the two ADA ramps and a room available under the pavilion where we could store some things, or use for a dressing room. There wasn’t a bathroom on site, but they recommended a rental company that provided a restroom trailer, which was more than adequate and fairly reasonable.
We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to plan an outdoor Aquidneck Island wedding, Dan and Agnes were great, the pavilion and grounds are beautiful!
