Are you getting married in Newport, RI?
Well if so make sure you keep these things in mind…
- Not to rain on your parade but better safe than sorry……Arrange to have a location in case it rains there are only a few hidden gems to go inside and take pictures in {remember if it rains there are other weddings that day as well, so you don’t want them to beat you to the reservation}…and why not buy fab umbrellas like these and have and amazing picture like this!

Especially if you are having the ceremony in one place and reception in another…I mean you have already spent $$$ on your wedding at this point what is an extra $1500-$2200 if you know you will enjoy your day without a care in the world. Trying to coordinate people for essentially what is 2 different events can be extremely stressful! stress free=happy bride {Trust me on this one I was a pseudo wedding planner, just the other day …tough job!}
- Check to see if your day falls on any of the festival weekends…If it does plan for traffic and let your guests know 🙂
- When booking room blocks don’t forget about Middletown, RI . There are some fabulous hotels there for a much smaller bill, and are virtually minutes away from your location.
- Try some amazing restaurants while you are here in town…
- Brick Alley Pub Located on historic Thames Street, from Burgers to Ahi Tuna, you name it they have it. Diverse menu at great prices! *Call ahead* they are a Newport Hot Spot!

My husband and I went on a date night here it was fantastic!! Make sure you call in advanced to make a reservation!
