The Bohlin at The Newport Yachting Center

o detail is impeccable and our reception was even more beautiful than i ever imagined! The food was delicious and all of the staff were great. It has been almost a month and our guests are still raving about how beautiful and fun our wedding was. The location, venue, food and staff cannot be matched! We highly recommend booking the Bohlin for your wedding! Thank you so much to the Bohlin team for making our wedding day so special.

Lauren was so receptive and responsive to all my crazy emails and calls! The day of the rehearsal and the day of the wedding is when Lauren truly shined, everything was seamless and effortless for our big day. We were so grateful to have chosen such a beautiful venue that matches our personalities of city chic but ocean loving, but also to have outstanding coordinators who we worked with over a year to create our perfect day (and that it was)! All our guests were so impressed by the venue but as well as the servers! We had Heckenney as our personal server during the wedding and she was amazing! We feel truly grateful for how perfect our special day felt to us! Thank you so much to The Bohlin!

ement…we were finally able to celebrate at The Bohlin and I sit here speechless. Due to Covid, the planning process was about 3 years. We got bounced around between wedding coordinators a few times due to covid, resignations, promotions, etc. and I will say…no matter what was going on…questions were answered immediately, transitions were seamless and we felt like we were the venue’s only couple. The day of was flawless. The Bohlin worked with our vendors to perfection, timelines were right on schedule, service was insanely perfect and it was hands down the best night of our lives. Not to mention - the compliments we are getting haven’t stopped. Jackie, Lauren, Heckeney and everyone else who helped us - thank you for the most memorable and incredible wedding. We are so grateful for you all!!

food. Their cocktail hour presentation was even adjusted to be more Covid-friendly and we felt very safe with their planning and preparation. The Bohlin staff were extremely professional, friendly, timely, and attentive, and everyone made sure my husband, our families, and I were taken care of with food, drink, and comfort throughout our event. We worked with Lauren to plan for our day, and she brought such a calm and professional presence to the planning process, and on our day she was an extremely attentive and helpful coordinator. Would recommend The Bohlin to everyone!!

ith an amazing weather day - however, what I was most impressed by was the service of the Bohlin staff. Our wedding coordinator, Lauren Lysak, was amazing from start to finish. She really made all of my wedding dreams come true. The food, the scenery, the service, everything was so amazing. I could not recommend the Bohlin more and have received the most amazing compliments from my guests for the last week about the Bohlin. Thank you so much to the Bohlin team and everyone who made our wedding day so special.

special day perfect!

ed 1.5 years in advance (pre Covid) so obviously with the pandemic planning got a little stressful and scary with the unknown. The Bohlin staff was great throughout no matter what. Despite what challenges we were facing, they always reassured us we would have the best day no matter what. Our event manager got changed a few months before the wedding due to staffing movements - I will admit I was nervous about that but it all was great and literally every staff person we ever came in contact with from the Bohlin was top notch. The amount of compliments from the location, venue, food, everything is unmatched. We were able to have a completely pre-covid wedding due to the restrictions being lifted right before our date, and we are so grateful. Everyone had rave reviews and still three weeks later can’t stop talking about it. We also thought the price was reasonable considering being in Newport on the water, this venue they do and have everything for you. We didn’t have to coordinate any outside catering, cake or rentals. Also having the event manager work with you throughout the planning is great. No need for day of or wedding coordinator in my opinion (one less thing to pay for)! Highly recommend considering the Bohlin for your wedding, you will not be disappointed.

husband and I have vacationed in Newport for many years, and my family and I have been visiting this coastal town since I was a baby. It is our favorite place in the world. The Bohlin is the quintessential spot for that coastal vibe with casual class without being over the top stuffy and buttoned up as some other venues might give off. We had our wedding ceremony with the sailboats going by followed by our dockside cocktail hour with live music. It is so nice to have everything in one spot at the Bohlin, and the staff work hard to make the transitions between seamless for you and your guests. Our guests are still raving about the location, flow from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception, and they continue to compliment the efficiency and organization of the staff. We had a handful of guests with allergies and dietary restrictions. These guests said they have never been treated so well at any other wedding they have attended. The staff knew all of the allergies and all of the meal alterations needed for each guest. Food was brought out timely and efficiently and was absolutely delicious. From the cocktail hour passed hors d'oeuvres, to the overflowing raw bar, to the drinks, incredible entrees, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream bar, the Bohlin did not disappoint! My husband and I thought the cost at the Bohlin was extremely reasonable as the venue takes care of all of the food, tables, linens, and most of the decor. We chose from the simplest decor/linen/glassware/flatware package in terms of price and the look of the tables and tent were stunning. The beauty of the Bohlin tent is its simplicity. It is really a blank canvas so you can tailor it to your specific style and look for your wedding day. Our wedding day coordinator was reassigned a few months before the wedding which we were initially nervous about, but our new day of coordinator Lindsay Chapin blew it out of the water! She was absolutely incredible to work with and such a sweetheart. She was so responsive via email whenever we had the simplest question of clarification. We even scheduled a last minute in person meeting at the venue a few weeks prior to discuss layout and Covid matters, and Lindsay was always proactive and optimistic throughout it all. Obviously planning during Covid times was and still is challenging, but Lindsay and the Bohlin staff kept us up to date on all of the state and venue guidelines and restrictions on pretty much a weekly basis. The stars aligned for us in the end as the mask mandate and many other restrictions were lifted just days before the wedding! What an honor to host all of our friends and family as the world re-opened that week, and we are so thankful we chose the Bohlin to help us host all of them! Thank you to the Bohlin, to Lindsay, and to all of the hard working staff, from the bottom of our hearts for the most perfect wedding day! Book the Bohlin for your perfect Newport wedding! You won’t regret it!

k within the guidelines of the state of Rhode Island. Despite the clear restrictions on the size of gatherings, the Bohlin informed us that they intended to charge us for our original 200-person headcount regardless. When we tried to request a refund for the breach of contract the venue refused, so we ultimately hired an attorney to help us reclaim our payments. In the wake of an already sad and disappointing time, the Bohlin and its staff made the situation so much more stressful.

entire process Jackie was absolutely amazing, professional, and attentive to all our needs. I didn’t want her to leave us on wedding day! Thank you so much to the entire team at the Bohlin for making our wedding dreams come true!

the place for us! It is beautifully located right on the water, the tent is magnificent and magical. We had the honor of working with Sara for our big day. Sara was so organized and she was always available to answer our questions! At the rehearsal, she put all my worries at ease, which made us feel so comfortable on the day of. We loved her energy, she did a fabulous job of bringing my vision to life. Everyone at the Bohlin did an amazing job, from the wait staff to the kitchen staff. Thank you Newport Restaurant Group for making the most special day of our lives truly amazing!

which took a huge weight off my husband and I. It made things so much easier for us on the wedding day when everything was taken care of. The wedding venue was beautiful, enchanting. The food was amazing!! Many of our guests commented on how good the food was and how it was possibly the best wedding they had been to. We don't have a single compliant. I wish we could do that all over again!

eness, and expertise are just a few things on the long list of reasons she was incredible to work with! She made our dream wedding a reality, and really is the best in the business! Everything was absolutely perfect - the decorations/set-up, the food, the service, and everything in between! It also goes without saying that the location is to die for - right on the water at the Newport Yachting Center, which happens to be in the heart of downtown Newport! We couldn't have imagined a more perfect day. We will always cherish the memories made, and we give Sara and her team so much credit for making them happen. I could go on and on, but the point is that I really could not recommend any venue more highly!!!

We received chaffers and skewers. The food was pulled nearly an hour before our event ended without any announcement...since it was only a two-hour event, this meant most guests didn't get anything to eat and a lot of food that we paid for went to waste. The sound system also had issues. Overall, we had a nice evening, but it was not really worth the money we spent.

is delicious (am still getting compliments about the food) and the staff throughout the evening were wonderful. We had a waitress assigned to us that made sure we were happy with everything throughout the night who was wonderful. Would highly recommend The Bohlin from the views, the food and the wonderful staff. They make planning a wedding seamless!

ss - very responsive to our various requests. Day of the wedding was incredibly raining so we ended up needing to do the ceremony under the rain tent but it was still absolutely beautiful and created a cozy environment. Plus we got an absolutely gorgeous sunset for photos so made the rain totally worth it. Could not recommend this venue enough.

ts and needs. She kept our budget in mind and made us feel totally taken care of throughout our wedding day. Many of our guests have raved about the food and service The Bohlin provided during our reception. Multiple people told us it was the best wedding food they have ever had! A couple additional things I want to mention: I loved how we (the bride and groom) always had food nearby or a drink refilled when needed (without even having to ask). We are also very thankful that our items were packed for us in a thoughtful manner. It made enjoying the day after so much easier! We've reminisced about our special day so much over the last three weeks. We wish we could live it all over again! A lot of that is attributed to how great this venue and it's staff made our night. THANK YOU

4/5 stars was because since it's in a prime location, you do get nickled and dimed for everything; parking included.

t be beat. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you are looking for a venue in Newport where guests can relax by the water or dance all night. The Bohlin/Castle Hill staff made this day perfect for us in every way!

stions we may have had and was always there if we needed any recommendations or advice. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts!!

ara make all of it happen, but she was patient, never made me feel like I was asking too many questions, so sweet and kind, and beyond professional and talented. The only stressor of the day was the weather and the staff did everything they could to make it work outside, but last minute they rushed and brought everything inside as it started to rain as the ceremony was supposed to start. It was flawless and looked just as amazing as it would have outside. The food was amazing, even our toughest critics/guests raved, and said that it was the best wedding they had been to. I cannot say enough about Sara, i really can't! She never made us feel like a bother with requests and questions, she is always so upbeat and professional and never waivered on making us feel confident in choosing this venue. I could not be happier with our experience. Thank you all!

nt above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect day. The event planning staff were very accommodating and made my dream wedding a reality.

They made the wedding planning and coordination process a breeze, especially with our crazy schedules. The venue itself is beautiful. The food is AMAZING. We received so many compliments from our guests that the venue was the most beautiful location they had ever attended a wedding. Additionally, the food is out of this world - from steak, to chicken and appetizers everything is fantastic and our guests are still raving about the food. The service was impeccable, not just to us or during dinner, but all Bohlin staff throughout the evening. Overall, this location, its team, food and drinks are the best of the best. Book this venue if you are looking for an amazing Newport wedding!
