Queen Anne's Loft

If you’re looking for cozy yet modern space to host an event Queen Anne’s loft is for you. Food and service was excellent

Queen Anne’s Loft was the perfect venue for our cocktail reception for 90 guests. The location, food, and staff were phenomenal! Amanda was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions promptly. Our guests raved about the food, especially the raw bar, and the stunning views of Thames St.

Queen Annes Loft is the perfect venue if you are looking for simple elegance. The event room is so stunning yet understated. With a room as gorgeous yet neutral as this, you can really make it your own with any color palate and you don’t need to go crazy with decor because the room speaks for itself. On top of that, the owner Amanda was so kind and easy going. She was great to work start to finish and was very accommodating to all of our needs. The food was amazing and all of our wedding guests have mentioned how nice the staff were. We had 72 guests and the vibe was great. Queen Anne’s Loft is really a dream venue in a great location.

Amanda was wonderful to work with from start to finish. We had our parents' 50th wedding anniversary here, and all the guests enjoyed the space, location, and event.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner and wedding welcome party at Queen Anne’s Loft and I would highly recommend that any Newport brides consider this space! The venue is centrally located and absolutely beautiful inside, making it the perfect event space. You barely need any decor inside— the aesthetic speaks for itself! One of the things we also loved about the Queen Anne’s Loft was that they were very flexible and accommodating. They were able to host a small seated family-only dinner to start and then open up to a broader welcome drinks reception for all guests. Amanda is incredibly efficient, organized and professional, and all of the waiters and bartenders were kind and professional as well! You feel incredibly well taken care of and the price point is unmatched for the space and level of service. I feel very lucky to have found Queen Anne’s Loft for our special weekend!

My baby shower was held at Queen Anne’s Loft and (although it wasn’t a wedding,) I would highly recommend this venue and team for your future event. Amanda was informative, professional, quick to respond, and was also incredibly helpful on the day of the event. She answered every question and provided any guidance to help things run smoothly. The space is beautiful and has incredible natural lighting. We received so many compliments from guests on how much they loved the venue space. Highly recommend!

Would highly recommend using this location, located centrally in Newport downtown, beautiful venue and the staff led by Amanda was excellent! They are quick to respond to any questions and day of event “all hands on deck” we used them for our son’s rehearsal dinner and the food was superb!

We chose Queen Anne's Loft in Newport for our Friday Welcome Gathering, ushering in our wedding weekend. One word to describe the experience? Perfect. From the start, the diverse food selection catered to our varied guest preferences – a detail we appreciated sincerely. Amidst the whirlwind of wedding planning, Amanda, our point of contact, was a calming force. Her consistent communication was a beacon, guiding us through every detail. But what truly elevated our evening was the warm ambiance of the Loft, enhanced by its amiable staff. Whether our guests lounge in the seating area or engage in lively cocktail conversations, the space catered to all. Queen Anne's Loft is the place for an elegant yet intimate gathering in Newport. It comes highly recommended by a couple who started their wedding celebrations under its welcoming roof.

My husband and I had a wonderful wedding at QAL. Amanda was a pleasure to work with! If I sent an email (I sent many) Amanda always responded back promptly. I had SO many questions for a cocktail style wedding reception and Amanda did a great job at following up and going out of her way to check on foods options that I was interested on having at the reception that wasn't already in their food menu. Our signature cocktails came out great! The venue is beautiful with great lighting which is awesome for photography. I loved the honesty and transparency working with QAL which was something hard to find with other venues in my experience when I was starting the wedding planning process. You're special event is in good hands with Amanda.

Queen Anne’s Loft is a beautiful venue. My daughters bridal shower was nothing but perfect. The food was great. The presentation was exactly what I was hoping for. Amanda is a sweetheart. She was very easy to work with. From the bartenders to the wait staff they are top notch professional. I would highly recommend this venue not only for the beauty but for the hospitality of all the staff. Thank you Amanda and all you staff for making my daughters special day a success.

When planning a wedding, the venue is one of the most nerve-wracking things to book. You want somewhere with good food, good lighting, and good atmosphere. You want it to be within your budget without making compromises. You want the staff to be kind, friendly, and attentive. You will find all that and much more with Amanda and Queen Anne’s Loft. I don’t know by what stroke of luck I found this venue, but I will forever be grateful. We had our reception here in February of 2023. Amanda is exactly the kind of person you want when planning a wedding- very relaxed and attentive. She always quickly responded to my (frankly, many) emails. She walked me through my menu options clearly, and day of I felt that every decision we made was the correct one. The food was amazing- so much better than any other wedding I’ve been to. The portions were generous and plated beautifully. The space itself… I cannot accurately describe the awe I felt the first time I walked in on the wedding day. I had rented beautiful wood tables from Peak (a preferred vendor for the venue) and purchased over 300 pillar candles for the center of the tables and around the room. Amanda absolutely nailed the candlelit dinner vibe I was going for. We had also brought in a few floral arrangements, but I’m going to be honest with you- even if we hadn’t rented a single thing and used only the standard things Amanda has at the venue (tables, chairs, tablecloths, etc…),the space is so beautiful it would have blown weddings with much bigger budgets than ours out of the water. The pictures you see online don’t do it proper justice. It is soft and elegant, and the views! The views are spectacular. I don’t know how Amanda has managed it, but Queen Anne’s Loft is special. I cannot thank Amanda and the staff enough- our day was perfect and I wouldn’t change a single thing about it. If you have the opportunity to do so, stop in and see it for yourself. You will not be disappointed. And if you are in a position where you can’t see the venue until the day of your event, book it anyway. You will have a magical day with great food and zero worries or regrets. Truly the best choice I made when planning our wedding.

Oh my goodness where do I begin? My son and his fiance' are from Philadelphia and loved visiting Newport thus choosing to get married there. I'm from Florida so the idea of finding the perfect venue for the rehearsal dinner felt very daunting, however, the minute I walked into Queen Anne's Loft and met Amanda I immediately knew I had found the perfect place! I can not say enough about Amanda. ...she was so fun and pleasant to work with. I always felt like I was her only client as she answered immediately all of my emails with kindness offering ideas and support! As you enter the building a beautiful carpeted staircase leads up to an absolutely elegant venue room!! We had 85 guests and never felt crowded. Instead, her staff worked tirelessly to make us feel at home as they walked around offering scrumptious appetizers and filling wine glasses at the bar! The food was mouth watering and the desert table was elegantly displayed with yummy treats! When it came time to pack up, her staff did all they could to help us get all of our things out quickly so we could go to the next event:) Queen Anne's Loft is one of the best things that has happened to Newport! Thank you Amanda!!

We held both our wedding ceremony and reception at Queen Anne’s Loft and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. We opted to do very minimal decorations, but the venue itself is so stunning (especially the chandelier!) that despite the lack of flowers, etc. our guests were still commenting on how beautiful and elegant the wedding looked. Amanda and the entire team at Queen Anne’s Loft were wonderful as well. They went above and beyond to make our day run as smoothly as possible. We knew we wanted a simpler, more untraditional wedding but didn’t really know how to pull it off; Amanda offered us so much guidance and really made the success of the whole night possible for us. We can’t say enough positive things about our experience with this venue.

I loved the decoration of the room with its magnificent chandeliers and the tables with the flowers. I was disappointed of the salad, thought it was too plain. The main courses were fantastic and the cake as well as the assortments of small pastries were wonderful. The bar package was great. My only comment is that I would have liked the time between the courses to be greater. The dinner was finished a little before 9 and we had the room until 1000. People must have thought venue was finished and left early. Ananda dud a terrific job is a very nice and well organized lady. I recommend this place.

I cannot recommend Queen Anne's Loft enough! It was the perfect rehearsal dinner space. I was researching Newport rehearsal venues when I came across Queen Anne's Loft and I immediately fell in love with the chandelier, floor to ceiling windows, views of Thames St, the fireplace and the bar. Amanda was so lovely to work with. I felt like the world was my oyster. I had so much fun dressing up the space with our rentals. The food was amazing and Amanda helped us make special requests. I have the absolute fondest memories of the time we spent there the night before our wedding and I hope we get to visit again!

Queen Anne's Loft was an excellent choice for my Afternoon Tea Bridal Shower! We loves the food options, the venue was just gorgeous, and all so reasonably priced. Amanda and her staff went above and beyond while working our event. Would recommend 10/10.

Amanda and her staff are amazing. Everything in this venue is beautiful. The food was delicious and fresh and everything ran very smoothly thanks to Amanda, Juliette, Katie and the chef. It was perfect for my daughter’s bridal shower. Super chic venue!

We hosted our wedding at Queen Anne's Loft, and everything was absolutely amazing! The venue itself is beautiful, but Amanda is what truly makes Queen Anne's Loft special. She handled all requests and coordination seamlessly, and she paid attention to little details that made the entire process of planning a wedding easier. The other team members were also incredibly warm and kind the entire night. Everything was truly perfect and we would not have changed a single thing! We would recommend Queen Anne's Loft without hesitation, and we are so grateful for the wonderful memories we made there on our wedding day!

Amanda is amazing, everything in this venue is beautiful. Staff is wonderful, food is amazing, and everything ran very smoothly thanks to Amanda and staff. Can't say anything negative.

I recently had my daughter’s bridal shower at Queen Anne’s Loft and it was the perfect venue for this event. The room was charming and cozy with a great view of downtown Newport. Amanda the owner is a pleasure to work with and very accommodating as was the staff that helped with the shower. Great food and bar drinks with many options to pick from. It is a great location with plenty of parking near by. I would highly recommend QAL, very reasonable cost for this event. Thank you to Amanda and her staff for making this a memorable day for all!

The Queen Ann’s Loft is a beautiful venue for a shower, wedding, cocktail party, etc. The floor to ceiling windows show off the beauty of Newport Harbor and downtown. We just hosted a bridal shower at this venue and I have to say, it was the best shower I’ve ever been to! Working with the owner Amanda was a pleasure. She was so accommodating and helpful. The food was fabulous and the staff friendly and on top of things throughout the day. The cost was very reasonable for this beautiful spot! Thank you Amanda for making our Brides day special!

We had our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks the night before our wedding at Queen Anne’s Loft, and couldn’t be happier that we did. It was a complicated event due to a different number of people at the dinner vs at the welcome drinks and we had some difficulty finding a venue that fit our requirements. We worked with Amanda who was awesome but the whole staff we engaged with at Queen Anne’s Loft made everything incredibly easy. We also had to postpone the event a year due to Covid and they were so understanding and helpful in replanning. The venue is a beautiful room in downtown Newport that is convenient for guests and to other bars and restaurants. The venue was perfect for what we were looking for and the event was ultimately better than what we could have expected. We couldn’t recommend Queen Anne’s Loft enough.

Back on July 2, 2021, we had the privilege to reserve Queen Ann’s Loft for a rehearsal dinner (celebration) for our son and his bride. Amanda the owner of Queen Ann’s Loft was a great help in planning this special event, especially since we were not from this area, we are from Alabama and the bride’s family is from Connecticut. Amanda was able to assist us in planning the evening starting with the beautiful event room overlooking Queen Ann Park in downtown Newport and the basic decorations for the room, it set the perfect mood and tone for our celebration. In all we had had 52 people attend this wonderful event, we decided to host an open bar and served Hors d’oeuvres, a couple of platters one cheese the other meze platters for a cocktail hour. For our main course we had a choice between the Grilled Salmon, topped with a Beurre Blanc or the Filet Mignon with a roasted garlic demi, both were cooked to perfection! The main course also included a fresh garden salad and Key Lime Pie for dessert. Amada and her team at Queen Ann’s Loft delivered on a perfect night for a perfect celebration of two wonderful people. I would highly recommend Queen Ann’s Loft to anyone planning an event, you will not be disappointed. Thank you again Amanda for a perfect celebration!

I was looking for an elegant place to hold my son and daughter-in-laws rehearsal dinner. Once I saw the pictures online and then went in person I knew Queen Anne's Loft was the spot! Amanda was very accommodating and easy to work with and was available anytime for questions. I had read reviews that the food was delicious and I have to say they were all truthful!! From the appetizers to the meals and desserts they were all outstanding. Loved the professional but friendly staff as well. We had 32 guests and they all truly loved the night. I would hold an event here again. Cheers to Amanda and her staff!

We had our wedding reception at Queen Anne's Loft in October, 2021, and Queen Anne's Loft made everything perfect! With a beautiful venue, organized team, great bar service and selection, outstanding food and perfect location, this place is the complete package. Amanda was so easy to work with from the start, and her team pulled through with 0 glitches. We left a lot of the day-of decorations up to them (with a few instructions), but we were blown away by how beautiful everything looked! The venue has a classic and timeless feel with just enough space for everything you need. The outdoor area also ended up being helpful for people to cool off from the dance floor! Amanda communicated us from the beginning, and she made the entire event easy to plan out, including drop off and pick up of our decorations. Our family and friends also raved about the food and our understanding was that most people had cleared their plates! We were fortunate enough to try some of the food at a tasting prior to the event and obviously enjoyed it then, but it was a great feeling knowing that the guests enjoyed every aspect of the venue.

Our wedding turned out exactly how we wanted it to turn out. From the food to the service received from Amanda and her team. Amanda was amazing she met with me the times I needed to meet and kept me up to date with everything.

My wife and I had our post elopement party here. Everything was perfect, Amanda was great, and guests really enjoyed their experience. This is a gem in Newport, and ideal for weddings/events on the smaller side (we had about 70 ppl). Food also rocks! I highly recommend.

We had our wedding here in October 2021 and it was truly amazing. It is a hidden gem and Amanda is great to work with. The entire process was smooth, stress free and they were unbelievably accommodating to all of our requests, changes and ideas for the big day. I would chose this venue a million times over in a heart beat! Not to mention, my guests keep talking about how stunning it was and how they loved the intimate & classy setting right in the middle of Downtown Newport.

We held a welcome cocktail party for 80 guests for our son’s wedding this past weekend. Queen Anne’s Loft was the perfect venue in size and was so nicely appointed. We had not visited the space as our original event was postponed due to COVID-19 and shifted from the Landing. Amanda, the event manager, kept us apprised of all the changes and was very prompt and helpful with communication throughout. She provided preferred vendors and helped us stay within our budget. The food and drinks were delicious, and the staff very friendly and attentive. We could not have asked for a better experience!!

We selected QAL as the venue for our rehearsal dinner & welcome drinks for our wedding. We cannot say enough nice things about the venue, staff, and how great they made our night. Both events went flawlessly and we received countless compliments on how beautiful the event space was and how good the food was. From a planning perspective, Amanda was incredibly organized, responsive, and friendly. We worked with tons of vendors for our weekend, and you could tell that Amanda knows what she's doing. This is really a hidden gem in Newport. 10/10 would recommend.

This past Saturday evening we were fortunate to hold our rehearsal dinner at Queen Anne’s Loft. Our original date in August of 2020 had to be postponed because of Covid-19. Although this was unsettling, Amanda made the transition to August 2021 easy for everyone. Her patience, professionalism, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills were amazing. Before selecting this venue for our special event, we visited several other establishments in Newport, researched, and read hundreds of reviews. Our decision was easy.....Queen Anne’s Loft was it! We had high expectations and all of them were exceeded. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was breathtaking, and the service was spot on. Thank you Amanda and the rest of the crew for making this evening one that we will cherish forever. There is nothing more we could have asked of you......you guys nailed it!

This is a beautiful venue fir parties and receptions. Everything from beginning to end worked perfectly. The event/venue manager, Amanda, is the best I’ve ever seen—totally organized, flexible with changes, and full of good suggestions. Her team of chefs/servers produced delicious hors d’oeuvres and bar service was excellent.

What a beautiful place! We were coming from out of state so all of our planning was via email and phone conversations. Amanda was always prompt to respond to my questions, flexible with changes and so very helpful with suggestions. The evening was a huge success. All staff were friendly and attentive. They helped make it a perfect party. The food was delicious, too!

Queen Anne’s Loft in Newport RI is a beautiful place. We had our daughter s Bridal Shower on 6/6/21 after being delayed a year due to Covid. Amanda was amazing to work with from her communication, flexibility and availability. Her staff is so attentive and professional. We left that day will a truly amazing day and wonderful memories! Newport is so lucky to have such a unique venue.

We had our ceremony & reception at Queen Anne's 5/8/21. After learning our original venue could not host us, we reached out to Amanda for options. I couldn't be happier that we did. She was responsive and helpful which was important during this crazy planning process. She even helped us find a spot for our after party. Amanda guided us during our rehearsal and set up everything perfectly the day of. We booked Queen Anne's without seeing it in person, trusting the social media pictures. The venue is even more beautiful in person. We had 45 people and this was the perfect spot for our intimate celebration. We were able to take pictures in the park close by and walked across the street for pictures by the water. If you are looking for a venue for a smaller celebration please do not think twice about Queen Anne's.

Amanda was great and made sure we had all the necessary details and set up time before our wedding. The venue is beautiful and the food was delicious. Everything was priced very well. I would definitely recommend.

Wow. I don't even know where to begin. Queen Anne's Loft is the perfect venue in the heart of Newport. Not only is it beautiful, intimate and versatile, it's a one stop shop for all of your needs. Beautiful location, incredible food, service and price. Amanda is beyond incredible. From the moment we met, she was responsive, kind, helpful, knowledgeable for our many, many questions and just wonderful to work with. Honestly, Queen Anne's Loft is a hidden gem that you do not want to miss. We highly recommend Queen Anne's Loft and plan to host many events in the future. Thank you for EVERYTHING Amanda!!

Like several of the recent reviews mention, we ended up having our very small, COVID-downsized wedding at Queen Anne's Loft after changing plans for our original wedding several times. We were so happy with how things worked out there - despite the ongoing pandemic and a nor'easter that hit the day of the wedding and ended up knocking the power out mid-ceremony (which they immediately addressed and eventually it came back on). Amanda and team were just great from start to finish - responsive, flexible, accommodating, and pleasant. She made everything very easy for us and recommended some great vendors to use. She helped us arrange a Zoom set-up with guests who could not be there, including a projector and screen so we could see them during the whole thing. The food was very good and the venue space is really beautiful. Though it was not initially our first choice, we were so happy to have found Queen Anne's Loft and had a really wonderful time there. Could not say enough good things about the space and Amanda/the team running it!

Queen Anne's Loft is Newport's best-kept secret for weddings and events. When we found this venue after changing our plans due to COVID, we felt like we hit the wedding venue lottery! The venue itself is absolutely stunning, from the simple yet elegant design to the large windows that open up, revealing the busy Newport streets below. Amanda was a pleasure to work with and answered all of my many questions quickly. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful our reception was. We couldn't have asked for a better place to host our small reception. To top it off, the servers and bartenders were great, and the food was delicious!

When my plans shifted due to the COVID19 pandemic and my “large wedding” was moved to 2021, my wedding planner suggested Queen Anne’s Loft for our small reception. After seeing pictures and having viewed the venue, I did not even consider another location! This space truly has it all and could be customized easily given the simple yet upscale feel. Every aspect of the venue was clean, airy and sophisticated, from the quirky yet tasteful tiles in the bathroom to the mother of pearl detailing on the bar, and the STUNNING crystal chandelier. The mirrors made the room feel large and open, while the well appointed details of the room made it feel intimate and warm for a group of my size. Not that you can plan this, but the sunset was unreal and the view of the harbor coupled with the sunset made for a perfect backdrop. Though I don’t think many couples eat at their wedding I was fortunate enough to be able to enjoy both the appetizer and (vegetarian) entree— both of which were delicious and the presentation matched the upscale feel of the venue. My dad and husband shared that the steak was the delicious and my mom shared that the fish was the best she had had in a long time! Multiple guests complimented the food and presentation, as well as beer/wine selection. Overall Amanda, the owner and coordinator, worked with my wedding planner to make it so that our “plan B” wedding felt like the wedding of my dreams! I cannot thank them enough for how perfect everything was. If I could do it over again I would not change a thing, aside from maybe trying to make the night last longer :). I would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to have a rehearsal dinner, shower, or reception/wedding in downtown Newport. It truly checked all boxed and was affordable as well!

Where do I begin!!! If you are considering a venue - BOOK NOW. My husband and I were originally supposed to get married July 17th in Newport with 275 people and due to Covid... that didn't happen. After planning what felt like 10 backup plans, we decided to move forward and get married with immediate family + bridal party on August 15th, 2020. We reached out to Amanda to inquire about Queen's Anne and she went ABOVE AND BEYOND to accommodate us. As a Covid bride, my plans/guest list changed a million times and stress levels were at an all time high - Amanda has a relaxed nature about her that made me feel completely as ease. Aside from the actual reception, she also had great recommendations for bridal pictures and things to do around Newport. I visited Newport several times leading up to the wedding and she was always available to show the venue to our family members. She always responded to our emails/phone calls immediately and overall her professionalism was top notch. The location is perfect, it's right in the heart of downtown Newport. The food was great! My husband caught a tuna the weekend before and she was able to have the chefs create appetizers from it which was really special. She kept us on time with speeches/cake cutting (something I was really worried about it without a wedding planner). The whole process was stress free and I cannot recommend Amanda and Queen's Anne enough!!!

Queen Anne's Loft is truly a wonderful location for any special function! We recently held our small wedding celebration here and cannot stop raving about our experience. Amanda was a joy to work with. She was very flexible and accommodating during all the challenges that COVID provides. The entire staff ensured our special day felt special! Thank you We were also very happy with the quality of the dinner. All our guests raved about the food. Excellent!! I would high recommend Queen Anne's Loft.

We held our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks at Queen Anne's Loft and it was the PERFECT place to have it! We had a dinner for 50 people which was easily accommodated (loved the lobster boil!) and easily transitioned to the welcome drinks for the rest of the invited guests! The space was beautifully transformed and looked amazing- our guests couldn't stop commenting how nice it was! And it's in such a great location right downtown so it was easy for everyone to get to and we held our rehearsal right outside in Queen Anne's Square before dinner! Thank you Amanda for everything!

We would not change a thing about our decision to host our rehearsal dinner/welcome with Queen Anne's Loft. Amanda was the best - extremely attentive both in advance of and during the event. She was accommodating and professional and helped guide us through all the twists and turns. The space was beautiful and didn't require any additional decor. We had a rather large seated dinner at between 110-120 followed by speeches and Amanda helped plan the space perfectly. Though it was on the high end of capacity, we were able to easily move around the room and she managed a perfect cocktail reception with passed apps followed by dinner and the welcome. I would unequivocally recommend going with this venue; she was the best.

We had our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Queen Anne's Loft in December and couldn't be happier. The room is absolutely beautiful, and food was excellent, and Amanda was so easy to work with. Also, you can't beat the downtown location! Would definitely recommend Queen Anne's Loft to anyone looking for a rehearsal dinner or reception location.

Although our event was not wedding related, I feel compelled to write a review about this exquisite venue. I arranged a holiday luncheon here and it couldn't have been a better choice! Amanda was delightful to work with during the planning, helpful and efficient. The venue is just beautiful, great location, tastefully done and easily arranged to accommodate many different configurations. The staff were pleasant, efficient and helpful. The food! Delicious, generous portion, cooked to perfection! Not often you can please 50 women, thank you QUEEN ANNE'S LOFT!

QAL was an absolutely perfect venue for our rehearsal dinner and welcome cocktail party! We had a 25 person rehearsal dinner and 110 people for welcome cocktails after. We served a three-course meal with dessert and coffee after. The food was great and the venue was very flexible with making adjustments. We had half a lobster and filet for all guests. The welcome party was perfect! We did an open bar (beer, wine, and mixed drinks) with a cheese plate. The guest commented multiple times how great the cheeses were! QAL is located in central Newport which was great for guests! Last, but definitely not least, was working with Amanda was such a dream. She was so easy to work with and made all of our requests happen! Amanda is professional, reliable, cares about her clients! Without any reservations, I highly recommend QAL! Thank you, Amanda! You are the best!

I had my bridal shower at Queen Anne's Loft and it was the perfect venue! Everything from the food, service, and location were all so great for my special day. We had a food station with a chef and he was fun and interactive, my guests loved it! Amanda was helpful and flexible throughout the planning process and that made it super easy! I would definitely recommend Queen Anne's Loft for your next event!

Queen Anne's Loft is a gem for Newport! We live in Newport and I searched for 2 years to find a venue that was both affordable and beautiful for our intimate wedding. Amanda is priceless! From the moment I met her at QAL, I knew we had found our venue and a person that I would like to work with. Amanda has a relaxed manner about her which is very much needed for a Bride to be. She is patient, accommodating and listens. She always made herself available whether by email or visiting QAL. She offers great suggestions and is willing to go the extra mile so that you have no worries and can enjoy your day. I did not have a wedding coordinator and Amanda handled working with the vendors for the flowers and dessert. We had a tasting in February and then decided on a menu. We had passed hors d'oeuvres and platters. In total we had seating for 62 people. We had a 5 piece band and plenty of room for a dance floor. We got married in the park across the street and then everyone walked across the street to begin cocktail hour. We had people of all dietary categories - gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, pescatarian, plain old picky eaters - Amanda worked with us so there was food for everyone and plenty of it. We had foodies and restaurant owners. Everyone raved about the hors d'oeuvres and dinner! I tried everything and it was delicious. What I really loved was that the food was served piping hot and stayed hot throughout the entire meal! Kudos to the chef and the kitchen staff. The servers were absolutely lovely! They were very attentive. One knew that my mom didn't eat meat and always made sure to go to her with the passed hors d'oeuvres that she liked. We received many comments from the guests that evening as well as later that the staff was terrific! I have attended many events in Newport that have been catered by the larger, well know companies in town and the food from QAL was by far much better. The quality, the portion size and the taste. The venue is simply beautiful. I have been there during different times of the day and the light is gorgeous! The room really doesn't need anything. The molding and the floors are lovely. The fireplace is a beautiful touch for warmth and elegance. The chandelier is absolutely stunning. We set up the room so that it would be centered over the dance floor. (Great first dance pics) And the bar is lovely. My husband, who really was not involved too much in the planning, kept saying, "This is the best day of my life" , " everything is perfect", "I wouldn't change a thing!" We joke that he turned into the Bride because for weeks, he was telling everyone he met what a wonderful, perfect day he had! Whenever we see our family or our guests, they continue to comment that it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Don't think twice, call Amanda NOW!

We had our work holiday party at Queen Anne’s Loft last year and it was so great we are planning it there again this year! Amanda and the chef worked to create a custom menu for our group. There was nice holiday decor in the space and everything from start to finish was easy thanks to the staff at Queen Anne’s Loft. Everyone enjoyed the food and their time at the event. I would definitely recommend this space for any type of event!

Queen Anne's Loft was perfect for our small and intimate wedding! Amanda made herself available to meet with me multiple times in the months leading up to our day to discuss details and day of logistics. On the day of our wedding, Amanda and her team (everyone was very friendly and professional!) set up the room perfectly, exceeding my expectations! Our guests enjoyed delicious raw bar and passed appetizers while the team seemingly effortlessly converted the space to be reception ready post ceremony. Throughout the entire night, Amanda was right there to make sure we were happy and work with vendors. I would highly recommend Queen Anne's not only because it is a beautiful space but also for Amanda!

If I could give a 10 star review I would! Amanda and all the staff at Queen Anne’s Loft were phenomenal! From beginning to end, Amanda was easy to work with and easy to get in contact with! We met multiple times at the space for questions etc and spoke over email! The weekend of our wedding reception went perfect! From the set up , to the food, to the break down. It was the most beautiful space for our special day! I consider myself LUCKY to have worked with Amanda. I couldn’t have done it with out her. I would highly highly recommend Queen Anne’s for any special event, you won’t regret it!

Where do I begin? Amanda and her team made our wedding dreams come true! Everything from initial contact to exit was absolutely perfect. As an Events Director in Austin, TX, I knew going into our wedding (ceremony first, staff turned over the venue to reception) that we had a complicated one- but they were AMAZING! I'm actually not sure I can say enough kind words but here is a start: 1.). Location- perfect. Right in the middle of town and next to Queen Anne's Square which is great for photos 2.) Amanda- Has all the vendor relationships and recommendations which makes for an easy planning process (even from out of town)! Also- so calm, cool and collected. She made everything easy and seamless 3.) Ceremony- Beautiful during the day- really, the lightning and view is perfect for ceremony 4.) Food- We had so many compliments on the food! People loved it. 5.). Execution- From me dropping off boxes full of name cards, koozies, favors, table numbers, and everything in between to the beautifully set tables... it was all perfect. I can't thank everyone at Queen Anne's Loft enough!!!

My wife and I held our rehearsal dinner at Queen Anne’s Loft in July and still our guests talk about how good the food was! The staff was super helpful and flexible with everything we asked of them and we couldn’t have chosen a better venue to host an important event!

Queen Anne's Loft hosted the rehearsal dinner for my son's wedding and it was ideal. The room is beautiful, the staff terrific and the food was great. Actually, the room is so nice, my daughter said "I'd be ok if we had my wedding here!"

I worked with Amanda to coordinate a dinner for my church. The space was absolutely beautiful and accommodated a sit-down dinner for 75 people with ease. Everyone was blown away by the meal! Amanda was a pleasure to work with and very patient with my many emails. I highly recommend this space for wedding and business events!

If you're looking for a small-medium sized venue in Newport, RI for your wedding or rehearsal dinner, book the Queen Anne's Loft and don't look back. I just had an 80-person wedding at this venue and I was so happy with the end result. The price was reasonable, the staff were extremely attentive to all of my guests, and the space is absolutely beautiful -- with an impressive chandelier and a clean, bright space that provides the perfect starting canvas for any of your event decor ideas -- you really can't go wrong. I chose to go with a romantic, vintage-themed wedding and this venue was the perfect space. Amanda who coordinates all of the events was always available and responded to each and every (often very long) e-mail that I wrote her with all of my questions (I asked a lot of questions and had tons of requests!). She even accommodated the way I wanted my napkins folded (with a thank you card on the inside) and worked directly with my vendors to ensure my reception venue was perfect on the day of the wedding. Amanda and her friendly, professional staff go above and beyond to make sure you're happy! Not to mention that the food was outstanding (I am a foodie AKA food snob and I gave the food a 5-star rating). Additionally, all of my requests (I wanted stuffies served with the first course/salad) were accommodated with a smile. They also have great vegetarian and kids meal options. On the day of the wedding, Amanda and her staff even helped set-up the space so my day of coordinator had a lot of help. I was hesitant to choose the space at first because I thought the space might be small for 80 but there was more than enough room to walk around the tables and to get down on the dance floor. The venue is also perfectly situated on Thames Street and it is close to several local bars and restaurants that offer nice after-party options. Not to mention that the view of the sailboats is an added plus. I was so happy with my decision to have my wedding at Queen Anne's Loft. If you want to have a King/Queen themed wedding, you can have your ceremony at Kings Park in Newport and your reception at Queen Anne's Loft. ;-) You will not be disappointed with this beautiful venue! Thank you, Amanda and team for making my wedding so memorable!

This new event space is absolutely stunning! I was lucky enough to have my shower there and everything was perfect. The owner, Amanda, was so accommodating and very personable. She offered suggestions of food and placement of decorations all throughout this beautiful space. My family and friends still can’t stop talking about how amazing this Newport hidden gem is and we all hope to either host or be invited to an event here again soon!

I booked this venue for my baby shower and it was PERFECT. Being from Newport but living on the west coast I had to do a lot of the planning remotely. Amanda made it so easy by sending menus, photos, and suggestions to help make the process so easy! I would highly suggest this place (and have) for any event!

Exceeded all expectations. Above & beyond. Q.A's L. delivered class and elegance for our small wedding. Very helpful during the planning stage very considerate with every detail for the entire evening. Service, food, location, facilities, value: A+
