Welcome Drinks

Join us for welcome drinks aboard a sailboat in Newport Harbor. Sailing has long been part of Newport’s history and coastal culture, and we couldn’t think of a better way to begin the weekend than on the water. We’ll spend the evening taking in the harbor at sunset with drinks, good company, and views of Newport from the bay.

Ceremony and Reception

Our ceremony and reception will take place at Glen Manor House, a French château-inspired estate overlooking the Sakonnet River. We’ll begin with an outdoor ceremony surrounded by the manor’s gardens, followed by dinner, dancing, and an evening of celebration throughout the house and grounds. We are so honored to share this setting, and this day, with the people closest to us.

Because space aboard the boat is limited, we kindly ask that you do not bring any additional guests unless they have been explicitly included in your invitation.

The boat will depart promptly at 6:30 p.m. and, unfortunately, cannot wait for late arrivals. Our sailing time is carefully planned around sunset, and the vessel must return before conditions become too dark.

An open bar featuring wine, beer, and seltzers will be available throughout the sail, along with a selection of light hors d’oeuvres.

If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, please include them with your RSVP. We will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Location & Parking

The brunch will be held at:
The Firehouse, 595 Thames Street, Newport, RI 02840.

Parking at The Firehouse is limited, so we kindly encourage guests to walk, use a rideshare, or arrange alternate transportation whenever possible. Newport is very walkable, and many nearby accommodations are within an easy distance.

If you do plan to drive, please let us know in advance so we can account for the number of cars.

Food & Drinks

Please join us for a relaxed morning of light bites, coffee, and refreshments as we spend a little more time together following the wedding celebration.

Cliff Walk & Mansions

After brunch, guests are welcome to head out at their leisure. For anyone who would like to continue exploring Newport with us, we will be heading to the Cliff Walk and nearby historic mansions for the afternoon.

Depending on everyone’s interests, we may split into smaller groups to explore different mansions or portions of the Cliff Walk.

This part of the day is completely optional. We simply wanted to share a few of our favorite places in Newport and enjoy a little more time together before the celebration comes to a close.
