I had my wedding at this hotel this month. I hired a planner who was my worst nightmare. She didn't show up on the wedding day, much less send anyone to help. But thank God the manager of this hotel (Venue) was very kind, helpful and very professional. She helped me with everything. Thanks to her, I had a perfect wedding. It wasn't her obligation to help me because I didn't make a direct contract with the hotel, but with the person I hired, supposedly to help me. She caused me more stress than help! I recommend you 100%, you'll be in good hands!! Thank you for everything, Matilde.

Our wedding was beautiful, and so much fun! Thanks to Matilde and the Staff at the Sunny! They were responsive and supportive, they gave great advice, and worked seamlessly through a few bride made glitches and last minute seating changes with so much grace and patience. Plus they had a vendor package ready to go! So didn't have to go searching for a DJ, Photographer, Baker, Officiant, etc. That was such a relief!

My wife and I got married and Newport in April 2024. Our wedding at Newport was an absolute dream come true. Matilde is the BEST wedding event coordinator out there and once you meet her at Newport, you will know why. She made sure our day was nothing less than perect- from major to minor details. She made the wedding planning process painless and was very quick with answers and beyond accommodating from the day we signed the contract until we left the resort days after the wedding. I would suggest getting married at Newport for several reasons including the resort amenities, beautiful location and views, friendliness of the staff, the value for being right on the beach, and so much more. Several guests mentioned that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, how attentive and wonderful Matilde and her team was, and just how impressed overall they were. We are a gay couple, which we felt extremely welcomed and supported by everyone at Newport. Us being gay was never made “a thing” which is exactly what we were looking for so very LGBTQ+ friendly as well. Matilde and the Newport team made sure our weekend was absolutely magical and cannot recommend them for a wedding enough. We will be back and wish we could relive our wedding day at Newport forever!

Our dream wedding came to life at the Newport Beachside Hotel and Resort. We always dreamed of getting married outside overlooking the ocean and to then move inside for the ballroom reception and this was just what we got. The hotel coordinator Matilde was amazing and had our back through every step of the planning process. Even when things didn't go as planned, with the pool deck construction not being done in time for our wedding, the hotel and Matilde went above and beyond to make things right and it all worked out beautifully!!! We had many guests from near and far stay at the hotel and they all had great things to say as well. The hotel staff was super kind and accommodating. The food was delicious and the venue turned out to look gorgeous. We cannot recommend getting married here enough! Thank you to Matilde Campo and The Newport Beachside Hotel and Resort for our beyond perfect wedding day and weekend!!!!

Matilde is the best! She is attentive, amazing, friendly, and everything you could dream of for your dream day. Matilde is the best and made sure our wedding was perfect. The venue is beautiful and ocean front! The food was fantastic! The chicken piccata was phenomenal. As a bride, I would tell any other bride, pick Newport Beachside resort and Matilde. You will have the day of your dreams be a reality!

We did our wedding at the Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort on Sunny Isles Beach and do not regret it.
The ceremony on the beach was perfect for our wedding of 90 guests.
The cocktail hour by the pool deck was enjoyable for everyone.
The reception in the Atlantis ballroom was perfectly set up the way that we wanted it.
The communication was consistent and whenever we needed questions answered we would receive a response relatively quickly.
Working with both Barry & Matilde made this process easy.
The only hiccup we had was the way the chairs were lined up in rows of 5 on either side of the aisle. It should have been 6 but we were too late to catch this, so we had a few people standing on the sides. Not ideal but we made it work and there were not any major complaints from our guests.
The vendor package is honestly a great deal but beware the choices you decide on. Would NOT recommend Alore Event Firm as your choice for flowers or as a coordinator. Not at all the Hotels Fault but is listed on their vendors.

Newport was great! Not only did we have our reception in their main ballroom but we also had an impromptu rehearsal toast outside by the Tiki hut. All of the employees were so helpful in letting us store our decorations, ship things before hand, and making sure the day was perfect. While the hotel was under construction while we were there, luckily other than some early morning construction noise (which we knew would be a possibility before hand), it didn't affect the festivities at all. All of our guests had a great time and that day was beautiful.

My daughter had her wedding at the Newport Beachside in May, mainly because she wanted a ceremony on the BEACH, with the reception and dinner following inside (in the AC!) The Newport was affordable in comparison to other beach locations. The day of the wedding went so perfectly and the staff was on top of everything. Anything we needed they took care of. I cannot say enough about the staff and servers and bartenders. The only reason we give a 4 star is that prior to the wedding day the communication was often lacking, and we were told one thing and then it was often changed, like which beach location we would have, which arbor, etc (due to another wedding on the same day that took precedence due to earlier booking). We were often frustrated with the communications. However the wedding day made up for it and was just awesome. The food was super, everyone loved it and had a great time. Highly recommend Newport if you want a beach wedding!

The Newport wedding staff was great on my wedding day and the closer I got tot he wedding. I had no wedding planner and coordinator and was nervous that things I wanted wouldn’t go smoothly but thanks to Maria and Vlad everything went well. Even when it poured so we couldn’t take the pictures outside they opened up
The spa so we could take nice portraits and even entertained our guest earlier bc they were just standing there. Food was good totally laid back. Some of guest complained about the hotel rooms but honestly I was fine with them for the price of a room right on the beach. But we had an amazing time. The elevators though are sllllllloooooowww so plan ahead. But to Maria and the actual staff THANK YOU.

on July 21 st I married my best friend it was the best night of my life !! With the Help of Angie Solis it was the most incredible ceremony and reception. more than i could ask for really. she made everything I wanted become reality a real dream come True she was there for me through my entire process I didn't even hire a wedding planner and it turned out perfect. everyone in the hotel is very nice and welcoming. they meet all my accomodations and helped in any way the could. I would highly recommend this venue for the price you pay for ceremony and reception it gives you the opportunity to make your wedding beautiful and not blow the bank. And Again Angie Solis is your girl Ask for her she will help guide you and be there for you the day of and make sure everything goes perfect. also we were destination wedding we did the vendor package it was great !!!
**on a side note if you choose to stay at the hotel what ever you do dont DO NOT get your hair or make up done at the salon in the hotel. This salon is not owned by the Newport it is leased by a real nasty person Named Vanessa she is the owner she seems nice on the phone only to find out she will rip you off she quotes you a low price over the phone and then when everything is said and done tells you ooo no you have long hair you have to pay extra all the sudden she starts adding things up and fights with you and tell you your wrong and she's right.
non the less my bridesmaid authorized her to charge there cards and split the cost which was about 270 way more than expected and then turns around and charged the card 500.00 each which was never authorized by anyone. my best advice is have someone come to your room and do you hair and make up or maybe pick someone else if you dont want to be ripped off and lied to.
salon Rate 0!!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. We visit at least once a year. Pam and her team were amazing... she took such great care of us, both when we were on property and via email in the months leading up to our wedding. The food for our tasting was great, but the food at the reception was even better which I didn't even know was possible! Our banquet captain was also incredible, dancing with our guests throughout the night, and he made sure that we were taken care of throughout our reception. From check-in to check-out, Newport staff took such great care of us, and our guests... the bartenders are the BEST!

Words cannot describe how HAPPY we were with the Newport! From the moment we had our tour with the AMAZING Natalie, we went right out to the pier which was exactly what my husband and I were going for completely different, and the absolute most perfect place to say I DO!! You feel like your in the middle of the ocean and there is literally just you and him at the end, so incredibly magical. Then we went to the ballroom which of course over looks the ocean it was just heaven. I wish we could re-do that day over and over again. The staff at this hotel is the best I have ever seen, they all went above and beyond to make our weekend a HUGE success. The Newport occasions team Natalie, Pam, & Abby, are the MOST INCREDIBLE TEAM!! We cannot forget Vladimir who helps run the show the day of the wedding!! Their communication with each other and with us was open and honest through the entire process. My husband and I would highly, highly recommend this incredible venue and team! We have created a lifetime of friendship with this team and we are forever grateful for everything they did for us!!

My husband and I got married within two years of relocating to south Florida. We both decided in true Adam and April's fashion that we wanted to have a destination wedding and invite our family and friends near and far to witness our union. Well thank GOD we meet Pamela Presley because she was AMAZING!!!! Pamela really meet all of our expectations from customizing the perfect cocktail and reception menus that our guest are still talking about to this day . She even customized a "beach day" the next day for all of our guest with a beautiful spread of food, beverages and cabanas. Pamela is simply the BEST and a joy to work with hands down!!!!

As a very anxious bride already running thin on time, I was losing my mind. I was scared that nothing was going to go right. Thank god for the team at Newport! My wedding planner Natalie was the most amazing i had ever met. Shes definitely a life saver and an all around amazing person. She made me feel at ease about everything, even got me a mimosa the day we went over the wedding list. Natalie, Pam and her girls are sweethearts. They work very hard and love what they do, which in my opinion is a fresh breath of air as the bride usually loses her cool in these situations. If i had to choose my wedding planner again i would definitely choose Natalie all over again. Thank you so much for making my wedding everything i wanted it to be and more. You're amazing & my family loved you so much! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I helped plan my friends wedding. Everything was rushed and late. The alter they didnt have enough time to finish so they just threw it where it looked nothing like the pictures. The planner decided to plan 2 weddings the same day. People were walking behind the bride and groom while saying their vows so the pictures look hideous, when they promised security so that wouldn't happen. They messed up the table numbers and made everyone move after they used the cups. She found out a week later some of the employees stole some of her wedding cards with money in them and had to file a police report and the hotel did not even apologize. I wont have my wedding there!

I had a wonderful experience working with Pamela from Newport!!! She was always there when needed. My guests enjoyed their stay at the hotel. There were a few hiccups but Pamela got right on those and made sure things were right! I enjoyed being able to have my ceremony, reception, and guest accommodations all in the same place!! The hotel is beautiful!! The package that my husband and I used was the Have Your Cake ($60) package. This package aloud us to get the most for our money. Our guests were not left wanting more food and the staff was very accommodating to special dietary needs. The stay for the wedding night as well as the free HONEYMOON to Punta Cana,DR were amazing!! I could go on forever!! I will always remember my BIG day with a smile and I can't wait for the free night stay on our one year anniversary!! Thank you Pamela and Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort for everything!!

Having a budget in south florida can be a bit of a challenge. Additionally, it can be very frustrating emailing countless hotels and venues, trying to get prices, and schedule viewings of their properties. Since the majority of our family would be traveling from out of town we knew that a hotel wedding would be the most convenient option for our guests. Although we didnt want a "beach wedding" we did like the idea of having a venue on the water to showcase the fact that we were in south florida, and not just any hotel conference room. The Newport advertised their $60 wedding package and it seemed to good to be true. It was somewhat difficult to find reviews for their weddings, and the hotel's reviews gave us reason to be skeptical. Still, the price fit our budget, the venue had beach or poolside (overlooking the beach) ceremonies, and above average rooms for the reception to be held. Although the public aspect of this space will not be for some people, it was nice to have the opportunity to view other weddings that were being held at the Newport, and this helped with our decision to sign the contract with them. Based on some of the reviews of the hotel we still were mindful of potential hidden fees, and unforeseen additional costs, but in the end their pricing was true to what we agreed to, and they had the flexibility for us to add on to our basic package (e.g. extra hour for the open bar, and upgrade to colored napkins and chiavary chairs). There were a few minor hiccups along the way, but their entire catering staff was quick to help each other out, and on the day of, they helped keep me sane!
We knew that we wanted the convince of hosting all of our events at one location, but we underestimated the value of having a catering team to help with all of the finer details. The best reward was seeing and hearing how impressed our guests were the entire night!

We had our April wedding at the Newport in the upstairs Atlantis ballroom. Our ceremony was on the north end of the beach, rehersal dinner on the pooldeck and bridal party breakfast in the Tiffany ballroom. We had numerous guests stay at the resort for the entire weekend, most from Thursday to Sunday, some even for an entire week. We chose to have everything for the wedding at the resort to keep things nice and easy.
I cannot emphasize how wonderful the staff was not just the wedding night but throughout the entire weekend. Our ceremony was Saturday afternoon and reception to follow. Pamela Presley was our coordinator for the wedding details, Viviana Sarno was our reservations manager, the banquet captain Vladimir, and front desk manager Michelle, as well as every single staff member that we came into contact with. Everything was absolutely perfect and the pricing was reasonable and the food was fantastic! Not a single guest of mine had anything negative to say about the food or staff. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beach wedding that can easily turn into a staycation.

We loved our wedding at the Newport Beachside Hotel and Resort. They were very helpful throughout the process. from the planning and tasting of the food, to the day of, everything was told to us and we were guided through the entire event!...the ceremony took place on the pool deck overlooking the beach, and it was truly beautiful! our pictures have amazing colors thanks to the background.The cocktail our took place in kitchen 305 and reception in the Tiffany ballroom! all my guests had an amazing time! we even had some special requests for the party and they were happy to help us make it a reality! the food was great! we had a tasting i month before the wedding! our package allowed for us to choose 3 appetizers for cocktail hour, for dinner 1 salad, 1 entree..we chose a parmesan crusted chicken with mashed potatos and vegetables! they also served chicken tenders and fries for the children under 10...very good! would not change anything from that day!

I always wanted to have a beach wedding and imagined it the perfect day!
When searching for places my now husband and I wanted a place that would not be too far neither too crowed like miami beach. We started out our search in sunny isles. As soon as we walked into the Newport we fell in love! everyone and everything the hotel had to offer was great. & not to forget the star of out wedding; the wedding coordinator Holly Pacheco, she was amazing to say the least.
Holly was always there to answer the million questions that I had :) she is extremely nice, outgoing, helpful, friendly, very professional and caring (we loved her)
Then once seeing the ballroom... i knew this was the place we would wed in. I just fell in love with the chandeliers and the room layout, we had the 5hour open bar with cocktail hour and 2meal choices; all at a very affordable price. The food was great and served at the right temperature [ which is always a plus at weddings].
The open bar had all kind of alcoholic beverages... to say the least, no one complained about water-down, or weak drinks...great job bartenders!!!
We also had our rehearsal dinner at the hotel the night before, where the wedding party practiced the ceremony walk and procedures and ate an amazing buffet style diner.
Everything turned out beautifully and even better than we imagined the joining of our two lives.
We love the Newport & Holly :)

The wedding planner of this hotel is the best! She is very friendly and nice, she has always answered any questions we had very quickly by email. She also got rooms for my friends even it was the last minuites.
The price was okay, we got discount for the stay there for my family and a complimentaly stay for ourselves on the wedding night but still it was holiday season so it was kind of pricey.

The staff was super nice and the food was really good. The ballroom was nice but we only used half the room and the dividing wall was ugly so the back drop of our make shift alter was dark. Then when it was time to flip the room the staff could of waited until we all left the room for cocktails. We felt in the way and they were in the way while we took pictures. Very minor! I still highly recommend this venue.

I had my wedding at the Newport Beachside Resort. We had the ceremony on the pool deck overlooking the beach, the cocktail hour in the Ocean Reef room, and the reception in the Tiffany Ballroom. The entire experience was phenomenal. The hotel is gorgeous; it has a tropical, Florida feel without being too cheesy. The outdoor ceremony was beautiful and went off without a hitch. The hors dourves were very tasty and the bar was open the entire time and the reception room was beautiful. The wedding coordinators are very helpful; they take care of everything the day of and you definitiely don't need a wedding planner the day of the wedding with them helping you! Its a great bargain too! I didn't see another hotel that was as nice or offered nearly as much as the Newport for a relatively low price. Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants a little Florida atmosphere at their event!
