From the reviews

I attended a wedding here and it was a great spot for a smaller sized wedding. Beautiful. Intimate setting. Outside porch. Bar. Two bathrooms. Gorgeous chandelier and nice taken care of property right on the Main Street in Newport.

★★★★★ — Nicole, Sep 2022

We had our wedding reception at Queen Anne's Loft in October, 2021, and Queen Anne's Loft made everything perfect! With a beautiful venue, organized team, great bar service and selection, outstanding food and perfect location, this place is the complete package.

★★★★★ — Heekyoung, Dec 2021

I don't even know where to begin my gratitudes for Amanda and the staff at Queen Anne's Loft. We had our wedding reception here in February 2023 and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Throughout the planning process, Amanda was diligent and always prompt with her responses to my many questions.

★★★★★ — Oksana, Mar 2023

I got married at Queen Anne’s Loft in May and the entire experience was amazing! Amanda was so kind, attentive, and helpful throughout the whole process. We had both our ceremony and reception here. The venue itself is gorgeous and has a nice view of downtown Newport. Also, the food was delicious.

Getting married at Queen Anne's Loft

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.
