Great Venue!

My husband and I got married a month and a half ago now at NHIR and had the best day! We worked closely with Susan who answered our MANY questions and went above and beyond to make our day run seamlessly. She even gifted our dog, who was in the wedding, a sweet goody bag :) Our guests had nothing but great things to say about the venue and raved about the food. Our service was excellent during our stay, and I'd highly recommend NHIR to a friend!

Incredible venue and coordinator

We had our wedding at Newport Harbor Island Resort (formerly Gurney's) last Fall and could not have asked for anything better. The views, food, and staff were all incredible.

We had the privilege of having Shannon as our outstanding wedding coordinator- we highly recommend! She was responsive and organized throughout the planning process, and helped us to bring our vision to life. On the day of the wedding, she ensured everything went smoothly. Her calm and collected demeanor was greatly appreciated. We are grateful for Shannon’s hard work and dedication to our wedding and cannot recommend her enough!

Just Perfect!

My daughter and son in law got married the first weekend of October. It was the first day of the resort publicly changing its name to Newport Harbor Island Resort, and a hurricane was off the coast. So needless to say, we were a bit concerned, and disappointed with the weather especially. Josephine was our coordinator from the venue. She was outstanding throughout our year and a half of working with her. On the weekend of our wedding, Josephine was calming and reassuring. The wedding festivities took place indoors, and it was absolutely beautiful! The Rose Island Ballroom was gorgeous! Everything was perfect and so many of our guests are still raving about the night! The food was terrific and the staff went above and beyond, anything we asked for, was done immediately. We also hosted a morning after brunch, the same room. It was delicious! If I could plan this wedding all over again, I’d chose this resort again. The wedding was perfect!

A wedding day set along the beautiful ocean waters in Newport, Rhode Island is truly amazing at the Hyatt Regency. The lighthouse setting for your ceremony is just breathtaking. The Rose Island Room is magnificent for your reception to follow. You can't go wrong with the Hyatt Regency and since I've been there numerous times in the past 29 years I can definitely say its always a wedding day dream!
