Our Wedding

It's your classic love story - Boy meets girl. Boy takes girl to Cheesecake Factory. Boy and girl realize they have the exact same order (on a 21 page menu, no less) The rest is history. A history full of Buffalo Blasts and Louisiana Chicken Pasta.

Formerly known as Gurneys...this is the closest hotel to the venue (on the same island!) This is where Jordan &amp; Miika are staying, you get a discount if you have AAA!

Newport Harbor Island Resort

We ~technically~ have a room block here that is active until 8/10, however it's a 2 night minimum and it has to be Thursday and Friday.... might not be the best option admittedly, but leaving it here.

Newport Marriott

A bit further away but a more affordable option

Holiday Inn Express Newport North - Middletown, an IHG Hotel

The Newport Harbor Hotel and Marina

A bit further away but a more affordable option

Hampton Inn & Suites Newport/Middletown

where to stay 

Experience a touch of Napa....in Middletown, RI.

Newport Vineyards

Located in Portsmouth, RI. Matches are every weekend from June- September. If you are afraid of horses, this is not for you.

Newport Polo

A public access walk that combines the natural beauty of the Newport shoreline with the architectural history of Newport's gilded age. Wildflowers, birds, geology ... all add to this delightful walk.... You will not find the bride or groom here.
