We were supposed to have our wedding at the Stonehouse in Little Compton, which was owned by The Newport Experience at the time. When the venue was shut down by the local court 8 weeks before my wedding I was obviously upset, but it ended up b...eing a blessing in disguise.
Amanda, who we worked with from the Newport Experience, was nothing short of AMAZING! Despite the numerous couples she was helping to last minute re-plan their weddings, she always was very responsive, very helpful, and made the entire process as painless as she could. We ended up having our rehearsal dinner at the OceanCliff Hotel on the deck. It was absolutely beautiful! We had a picturesque sunset, great food, and great ambience. Then we found the Eisenhower house to have the ceremony and reception at the next day and I honestly could not have dreamed of a more perfect wedding! Again, Amanda was there to help us with all the details, seamlessly moving the tent and all the things we were going to have at the Stonehouse right over to the Eisenhower house! She was on top of every detail and made me feel not only at ease, but excited for our special day. Jordan, who also helped out the day of, was fantastic and was all over the little details which helped me to enjoy the day. All of our guests commented how wonderful and attentive the staff was- from servers, to bartenders, to the behind the scenes planners- everything went off without a hitch and I didn't have to worry about things! I would recommend any of the Newport Experience locations. Because they are a wedding company who has handled so many weddings, they know all the little details and all the things you may not think about. Considering we had an unusually stressful situation, having to re-plan a wedding in 8 weeks, and it all worked out so beautifully thanks to Amanda and her team- I can't imagine what they can pull off when they aren't under the pressure of dealing with a closed venue that was supposed to hold 16 more weddings that season! Quite honestly, I feel so lucky to have had so many hard-working, wonderful people who genuinely wanted my wedding to go well and I hope every bride has the same feeling looking back at their wedding day and thinking, "that was so much fun I wish I could do it all again!"
A huge thanks again to Amanda and the Newport Experience for taking a horrible situation and doing everything they could to still make my wedding day perfect!
