Say yes to a setting as special as the moment. Set in a historic landmark on the waterfront, our museum is a boutique venue that brings maritime charm, captivating exhibits, and elegance to every wedding event — from engagement parties and bridal showers to rehearsal dinners and beyond. History, salty breezes, and memories in the making, right in the heart of Newport.
We offer three flexible space options, staged across two levels, to create your special event. Schoonmaker Hall features expansive doors, large windows, and a deck overlooking Newport Harbor—offering stunning sunset views year-round and ample space for larger gatherings.
For more intimate events, the Dorade Deck and Mosbacher Room provide a private, second-floor setting with a bird’s-eye view of the museum floor—ideal for cocktails, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and social celebrations to suit a range of budgets.
Our museum offers genuine character, fascinating exhibits that double as conversation starters, and an intimate setting that makes every event feel personal—not packaged. In this distinctive setting, your event becomes a multidimensional experience guests will talk about long after it ends, with historic architecture, immersive displays, and a thoughtfully scaled space that keeps the focus exactly where it belongs: on you.
