Queen Anne's Loft

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!

chic venue!

tion 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!

ng 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!

st 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!

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.

e 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!

vailable 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!

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.

rocks! I highly recommend.

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.

-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!!

nts 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.

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!

eam of chefs/servers produced delicious hors d’oeuvres and bar service was excellent.

ing was a huge success. All staff were friendly and attentive. They helped make it a perfect party. The food was delicious, too!

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.

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.

d 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!!

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!

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!

er 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!
