Getting into a Military Base
We need a finalized list of names (no nicknames, as they appear on a license), at least a month prior to the ceremony. When you arrive at the gate, every passenger (over 18) must present identification to the guard.
Transportation
We have hired a trolley service in Newport. We are happy to provide a means of travel for everyone to get to and from the Wedding safely!
*Please Note that each trolley holds 35 people at a time, so please plan accordingly and do not all wait for the 3:45 ride :)
Times: 3 : 0 0 PM & 3:45 PM (2 pickups at each location)
Pickup Locations:
1. Downtown Newport Location:
Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina
49 America's Cup Avenue,
Newport, RI
2. Middletown Location:

**If you choose to Uber/Lyft to the Officers' Club, please know that the Uber/Lyft cannot go past the gate. It is roughly a 7 minute / . 3 miles walk from the gate to the ceremony/reception location.
Plus Ones
We are expecting a very large wedding. We ask that you review the address on your invitation to see if a plus one is included. We hope you understand our capacity and we both look forward to your attendance on our special day!
Children Attendance
As much as we’d love to include everyone’s little ones, due to space, we are keeping the list to children of immediate family only, unless otherwise noted in the invitation. We hope you accept our apologies and enjoy your very well deserved night off!
Ceremony location vs Reception location
The ceremony will take place right outside the Reception Hall, on the lawn overlooking the water. There will be signage to point you in the right direction!
Handicap Accessibility
Yes. There is a flat grass area to the ceremony and ramp to the reception hall.
