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!

o 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.

nd 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!!

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!

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!

on’s rehearsal dinner and the food was superb!

l 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.

ob 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.

he 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.

e 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.

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!!

he 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.

astries 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.

, 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!

end 10/10.

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.
