Can I bring a +1 or kids?
Short Answer - No. At least not to the ceremony or reception.
The venue can only accommodate 50 guests, so we had to be *very* tight with the guest list. The invitations are super clear about the number of invited quests in your party.
What time should I arrive?
The ceremony will start promptly at 2pm. Please arrive before then - anytime between 1:30 and 2pm is perfect. There is a small lobby area where you can mingle before heading in to the reception space.
What is the dress code?
Semi-Formal to Formal
Examples:
A Suit, with or without a tie
Dress
It is winter, even though we are indoors you will want to dress warm! The venue also has a lot of dark colors - greens and blues with hints of gold - just a heads up!
Will we be inside or outside?
Inside!!
The only exception will be when walking between venues. The movie theater for the cocktail hour and Buskers for the after party are both right down the street from the venue (a 2-minute walk to each).
What is the transportation and parking like?
We recommend booking a hotel or AirBNB within walking distance from the hotel. There are hundreds of options available in Newport!
No transportation will be provided as each activity is just steps away from the next!
There is a large parking lot next to the venue where you can park free of charge (yay for it being the off-season!)
No transportation will be needed the day of - everything is within walking distance, the one exception is the cocktail hour and we will have shuttle service for that.
What types of food and beverages will be served?
We are providing all food and drinks the day of.
You do not need to bring any cash to the wedding - we've got you covered!
Movie Theater snacks and beverages will be provided at the cocktail hour.
Dinner, dessert, and drinks will be provided back at The Vanderbilt. You will order your dinner that evening at the table and let the staff know of any dietary restrictions.
Late Night eats and drinks will also be provided at Buskers for the after party - this will include more traditional pub food.
Can I take pictures?
We ask that you please refrain from taking pictures during the ceremony and limit photos during the reception. When we get our pictures from the photographer, we want it to be of your faces rather than the back of your phones! Photos will be shared afterwards!
What's the wedding hashtag?
We don't have one. If you have one you feel very strongly about, let us know.
Will there be other events happening over the weekend?
Yes! We will have a get-together on Friday Night before the wedding as well as a brunch on Sunday. More details to come, but everyone will be invited!
What's the best way to reach out with questions?

What's the RSVP process?
