On the property
“) and there’s plenty of room for the tent and the ceremony with a water view.”
“The bridal suite is huge, white, full of light, and has gorgeous antique furniture for all your dress shots, details, everything.”
What couples highlight
“I have grown up hoping that I would someday get married at this location - and my dream came true thanks to an amazing staff and beautiful venue!”
“The best part, other than the incredible architecture and over-abundance of photo ops, is that the staff will take you on a golf cart ride to the ocean!”
From the reviews
Just had our wedding reception there and it was amazing! You can’t top this venue anywhere in Newport for the price! Special thanks to Mallory for helping to make our special day even more memorable!
I could not recommend Eisenhower House as a wedding venue more. I have grown up hoping that I would someday get married at this location - and my dream came true thanks to an amazing staff and beautiful venue!
There is a parking area and we brought lawn chairs and watched the sunset over the water. AMAZING!
Getting married at Eisenhower House was so magical! The venue offers so much space in both the interior and exterior. We had over 130 guests and the venue was the perfect size. Between the tent, the sprawling lawn, and the wrap-around deck, there's plenty of space for guests to enjoy the views of Newport.
Getting married at Eisenhower House
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
