Unbelievable Venue

One of the biggest decisions during wedding planning is your venue. Fort Adams should be at the top of your list when you are looking at venues. The possibilities are endless here and the team there is amazing. Trevor was the most accommodating, patient and organized person that we worked with throughout the wedding planning process. He answered every question we had with confidence and was there on the wedding day making sure everything we planned was going smoothly. The venue was beyond gorgeous and I can't emphasize enough how great the staff was. Absolutely book Fort Adams for your wedding!

Truly Unique

Newport is a major destination for weddings, and Fort Adams provides all the best of Newport at a very reasonable price point while also supporting the preservation of the Fort.
The Fort is incredibly expansive which gives guests an immersive experience as they travel throughout the fort during the wedding. Guests can enjoy the Newport scenery and passing by sailboats from atop the Fort and on the lawns. The grounds are truly beautiful and unique!
Trevor, Cara and the team were a joy to work with! They love what they do and care deeply about the Fort and the experience. Trevor and Cara were incredibly responsive and Trevor attended to each detail with amazing care. We are so grateful!

Beautiful Venue for Any Size & Style

From our first site visit, Andrew and I saw ourselves getting married at Fort Adams. The variety of scenery Fort Adams provides is one of a kind. We have received so many compliments on how unique and beautiful the backdrops from our wedding photos were. With the Newport Bridge serving as our ceremony backdrop, followed by cocktails in the courtyard guests felt comfortable enjoy the outdoors. Due to the COVID restrictions, we had to downsized our wedding guest count. Silver lining was this allowing us to host our Reception in the Casemates. The exposed brick, enchanting lighting and historic charm created the perfect atmosphere for our intimate celebration. Thank you to Jen and the entire Fort Adams team for making October 10, 2020 a day we will never forget.
