Queen Anne's Loft

mes Street in Newport! Amanda, the venue owner and operator, is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is a calm presence and a very clear communicator throughout the planning process, and you can have absolute confidence in her and her staff to deliver on everything that you arranged when the big day finally arrives. Amanda and her team are experienced professionals who know how to get the job done right! The delicious food is prepared in-house and the venue space has a beautiful bar and experienced bartenders to serve your guests. Also, we can't emphasize enough: This venue space is beautiful and bright with lots of natural light--so beautiful that we even decided to hold our ceremony there as well. Simply put, Queen Anne's Loft is the hidden gem in Newport for your smaller venue needs!

a timely manner and took the stress out of an already stressful weekend. Not to mention, the venue is so pretty, has a great view of the water/sunset and the food is delish! Highly recommend.

pace was converted to the reception set-up. We had about 60 guests join us for cocktail hour and reception, and the space was the perfect size for a smaller event! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the guests RAVED about the food and the staff working the event. Amanda, the owner of Queen Anne’s, was a pleasure to work with. She answered all my (many) questions I had over the course of the 1.5 years of planning the event. She was prompt, professional and went above and beyond to make the day a success! You are in good hands choosing Queen Anne’s Loft and cannot beat the value being in downtown Newport. 10/10 would choose this venue again!

ight was amazing. I opted to not have a DJ and having the music come through the speakers in the ceiling was amazing and doing it this way kept the room free from clutter! Amanda let us have as much time in the room for the rehearsal as we needed, and I went over time. She let me set up everything I wanted to and handled anything I couldn't get to. She was an incredibly calming and focused presents through all of the conversation and the two days we were there. And it was very comfortable talking to her whenever I needed more guidance. I would recommend this venue and Amanda to anyone who needed to have a beautiful venue, view, area to take pictures, and go-to person day of.

elicious! Highly recommend the prime rib carving station! Staff was super friendly and helpful! The space itself, is already gorgeous and didn’t need much added to it.

questions promptly. Our guests raved about the food, especially the raw bar, and the stunning views of Thames St.

dding of about 50 guests. Catering, seating, lighting, all in 1 package makes the planning process so much easier. It all comes together beautifully!

ally 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.

more of a perfect day. The space is STUNNING all on it's own and doesn't need too much décor. Due to the rain, we had to take our photos inside and we ended up taking them in the venue before the ceremony started- I got a few sneak peaks and they are gorgeous!! Also not to mention the service/wait staff were INCREDIBLE. Super nice and attentive. The day ran so smoothly- absolutely nothing went wrong. Amanda, the owner/coordinator is extremely professional and responsive and honestly offers the best wedding package in all of Newport. I cannot say enough good things about Queen Anne's!! If you want a smaller/intimate wedding but still want a gorgeous, affordable aesthetic, look no further...Queen Anne's is top tier!!

ed 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!

ional, 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!

ions and day of event “all hands on deck” we used them for our son’s rehearsal dinner and the food was superb!

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.

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.

theart. 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.

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.

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!!

tself 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.

ere 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.

ately 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!

taff went above and beyond while working our event. Would recommend 10/10.

e chef. It was perfect for my daughter’s bridal shower. Super chic venue!

led 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!

ive.

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!

d 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!

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.

eat 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!

t! 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!

ection, 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.

o meet and kept me up to date with everything.

ngs/events on the smaller side (we had about 70 ppl). Food also rocks! I highly recommend.

lievably 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.

sited 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!!

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.

h 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!

zed, flexible with changes, and full of good suggestions. Her team of chefs/servers produced delicious hors d’oeuvres and bar service was excellent.

le 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!

er 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.

. 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.

ll. I would definitely recommend.

l 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!!

mes. 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!
