The North Beach Club House

The indoor space is nice (and air conditioned) with recently updated bathrooms and the deck outside is just beyond. Venues down the road cost 10x the price for the same view and we truly are so happy with the North Beach Clubhouse- it was perfect!

you don't need to go overboard. They have tables and chairs for your use. Daisy, the venue manager is a pleasure to work with. She's quick to respond, and never once got annoyed with my 1,000 questions. She was a dream to coordinate our wedding with.

ards the end of the wedding we were very rushed to end before our allotted time. The attendant was telling us to end earlier than we needed.

the same location. It's a small venue, accommodating only 90 guests, but this worked for our intimate laid-back vibe. The inside dining room has great hardwood floors, a full kitchen for the caterers, and lots of windows looking out to the ocean. The low ceilings could use an update, but they did add bistro lights which helps create a festive feel. The large outside deck is definitely what makes this venue perfect for an outdoor wedding. There is enough room for the ceremony and a tent for the reception/dancing. We opted to rent a tent for the deck in case of inclement weather (and we're glad we did because the weather changed from sunny and clear to misty/rainy very quickly) which is an extra fee from the rental company. The tent itself costs just nearly as much as the venue (weddings are expensive...you don't know how expensive until you're planning one!). Because our wedding took place in September we were required to rent the side walls for the tent, an additional cost to the tent itself. When we arrived to set up on the wedding day the walls weren't even set up and we couldn't find them. Later in the night my groom discovered the walls in a pile on the ground near the deck. He called the rental company to ask why they weren't installed with the tent (since we were required to pay for them) and the person told us we were supposed to do it ourselves. This was unknown to us and should have been made more clear...also why can't a rental company put up side walls that we are paying for? Thankfully the rental company was kind enough to send someone to our wedding to put up the walls for us. So cons for us were obviously the tent issue and that no staff is included in the rental to help with any set-up or clean-up. Thankfully our family and friends helped with everything and we got our deposit back. Pros are that it's a great location, lots of parking for guests, includes table and chairs, and is a reasonable price for $10K budget.

on for 90 people, in September, 2016. Lisa, the Facility & Event Coordinator at the North Beach Clubhouse and I exchanged several emails and were able to coordinate our calendars to meet the day after we arrive, on a Friday morning.She welcomed us respectfully and professionally, showed us around, listened to our questions and gave us helpful suggestions. One of the most important items on our list to discuss with Lisa was the lighting in the clubhouse because my daughter is negatively impacted by yellow lighting such as that used in office buildings, stores, schools, and in the clubhouse. This common ambient lighting triggers, in her, debilitating headaches that last for hours, ever since a car accident, a year ago. Lisa responded to our concerns about the lighting with compassion and offered to talk with her management to see what she could do to help us to replace the light bulbs in the 11 clam shell shaped sconces and the 7 down lights above the bar area. She asked me to send her an email requesting different bulbs (that we would provide) be put in before the event date and taken out after the event for medical reasons. I sent the email. Lisa exceeded my expectations when she sent me back an email the very next day letting me know had approval for the maintenance crew to change the lighting for us. Thank you Lisa for going above and beyond, to make my daughters day safe and enjoyable for her. Also, while we were there, she introduced us to Andrew, the owner of A & E Event Rentals Inc. The current contracted provider for the clubhouse. He has been a pleasure to work with, as well. He is professional, a good listener, and helpful. He had numerous creative ideas to help us with the decorating to match the theme of our wedding (tables, chairs, etc.) and he was especially patient and helpful with our special lighting needs for inside the tent. Lastly, When my daughter first broached the idea of having her wedding reception at the ocean’s edge via the North Beach clubhouse, she showed me pictures; its simple elegance eluded me. It wasn’t until I was there, in person, to experience it with all my senses, that I understood why she chose this venue. Looking out from the deck, I saw a breathtaking view of the vast Atlantic Ocean and the horizon line where it met the expansive blue canopy of sky above it. I heard the seagulls calling and the gentle ocean waves lapping the shore. A few steps down from the dancing area, just off the spacious deck of the beach club, my daughter and I walked side-by-side in the cool, silky sand and felt the wind caress our faces and comb through our hair. We breathed in the calming, fresh scent of the salty, ocean air and I knew with a full body yes that this was the place we wanted to celebrate on her wedding day, with family and friends. See you in September.

ose. It is pretty inexpensive, although I was disappointed that they wouldn't allow my Grandmother, a resident of Narragansett for decades rent it under her name for the discount. We also had to pay an extra 106 dollars on "tulip insurance" which was never mentioned in the contract or viewing consultation with Lisa Roy, the head lady in charge. We never rented the tent, which was an extra 1400 and somehow it was up on our wedding day, we think that they may just keep it up all Summer and con people into paying the tent fee. The bathrooms could use updating especially if you are holding weddings at this venue. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful background though, Narragansett Beach is the best. The balcony was where everyone hung out and some even ventured into the water for a nice swim. It was a beautiful night!

. The Clubhouse is a gorgeous setting and was really easy to work with. One of the most memorable moments of my wedding was when everyone changed into their bathing suits and went swimming.

or the room. We had ceremony on deck with dinner service inside.

ved this view, perfect setting for our small (100 people) intimate ceremony on teh beach

an. If it had rained, it would have been a bit stuffed, so I’d be aware of that when planning. We had 93 people and 10 tables, a DJ outside and a photobooth. Everyone loved the location and it’s very reasonably priced if you’re a Narragansett resident. Hadley is also very nice and accommodating. We also had our rehearsal dinner at the pavilion at the Narragansett community center, which you can also book through Hadley.

ing over 100 or so people would be too large for the venue. It is the perfect size for a more intimate wedding of 100 or less people...we had about 80 and it was perfect.
