OceanCliff

We truly could not have asked for a better venue or team to work with for our wedding. From the moment we booked, everyone at OceanCliff was incredibly organized, responsive, and committed to making our wedding day perfect. Alison, the catering manager, was wonderful throughout the planning process; she answered every question we had and helped us plan every detail with confidence. As our wedding day approached, Nick, our banquet manager, took over and was absolutely incredible. He made the entire day run seamlessly, kept everything on schedule, and completely eased any anxieties we had. We never had to worry about a thing because we knew everything was under control. John, our captain, was equally amazing. He took exceptional care of us all night, always making sure we had food, full drinks, and everything we needed so we could simply enjoy our wedding. The entire staff went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable, and everything was executed flawlessly. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would recommend OceanCliff to any couple without hesitation!

Average food. Bad drinks (messed up order) and then service was terrible. Food out before drinks, asked for bread 3 times and it never came, lipstick crust on the wine glass, fly in the martini. Beautiful view. Come here and only order a drink from a can. We flagged the wine glass and fly in martini. They brought me a new wine glass and I had to pour the wine into the new glass myself. We did flag it to the manager and they apologized at the end but regardless.

OceanCliff is one of the most breathtaking wedding venues in Newport, Rhode Island. The ocean views, coastal scenery, and elegant atmosphere make it a truly special place for weddings and events. As a wedding photographer, I love how many beautiful photo opportunities the property offers, from the waterfront ceremony spaces to the stunning sunset views over Narragansett Bay. The staff is professional, the grounds are well maintained, and the entire venue has a timeless New England charm. Highly recommend for anyone planning a Newport wedding or special event.

I recently stayed at OceanCliff Hotel in Newport and had a lovely experience overall. The ocean views are absolutely stunning and the property itself is beautiful, especially if you enjoy peaceful coastal scenery. The location along Ocean Drive makes it feel like a true getaway while still being close to downtown Newport. The staff was welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. The room was clean and comfortable, though a few small updates could make it even better. Overall, it’s a charming spot with incredible views and a relaxing atmosphere. I would definitely return and recommend it for a scenic Newport stay!

OceanCliff is a phenomenal oceanfront Newport wedding venue! The ocean views are impossible to beat. The mansion itself is classic and elegant, with rooms full of natural light and beautiful architectural details that make getting ready and candids feel effortless. The ceremony terrace already has an arch and is ready for your florist to add finishing personal touches! Definitely opt for the getting ready cottage - it's full of light and beautiful for photos! The coordinators at OceanCliff are fantastic. They’re calm and organized, which makes the day feel smooth no matter how many moving parts there are. From cocktail hour on the terrace to a dinner and dancing in the ballroom, the flow of the day feels seamless. If you’re looking for a Newport venue that blends dramatic ocean views with refined, timeless elegance, OceanCliff is an absolute dream!
