OceanCliff

OceanCliff is a spectacular venue with the most captivating view in Newport. Unlike some other waterfront venues in Newport (and on Cape Cod), the OceanCliff ballroom is perfectly shaped with windows along the pinnacle to beckon all eyes to the bay. This venue offers the best of both worlds—an outdoor cocktail hour under the upper deck tent followed by an indoor reception in the ballroom with beautiful chandeliers, uninterrupted water views, and a stunning sunset. Treat your guests to the comfort of a climate-controlled ballroom with real bathrooms without compromising on the view—and with easy outdoor waterfront access throughout the reception. We much preferred this experience to a tented outdoor wedding, and we lucked out with gorgeous weather. Also, OceanCliff, built from 1894-1896, offers a more majestic setting and castle-like feel than other more recently built waterfront Newport or Cape Cod venues.

Not only is OceanCliff a beautiful venue, but the OceanCliff team is fantastic and provides unparalleled service. We can’t thank them enough for making our day unforgettable!

We truly appreciate all the time and effort the OceanCliff team devoted to our special event, from booking with Susanne (and her help with booking our church ceremony as well) to details with Kasey (and there were many details!) to guest room updates with Susan to the 'day of' with Taylor, who pulled off everything with apparent ease. Everyone was a pleasure to work with and offered great advice-- from hors d'oeuvre selections to where to locate the band for a more spacious dance floor with a headcount of 202 guests.

In addition, we are very thankful to Juwana, our steward, who was so attentive and went above and beyond to take great care of us all evening. Every single team member, from servers to bartenders to those breaking down the tables at the end of the night, provided outstanding service with a smile.

And did we forget to mention that the food was absolutely amazing? We heard great things from guests about the poached peach salad, all three entrees (filet mignon, halibut & vegetable Napoleon), and all the hors d'oeuvres, which were plentiful. The lamb chops and raw bar were an especially big hit, but everything was wonderful!

We have received countless compliments from guests on the excellent service provided by the staff, the delicious culinary creations, the gorgeous set up of the upper deck tent and the ballroom with beautifully set tables, and the magnificence of the venue overall (again, what a view!).

We were thrilled with everything on our wedding day and highly recommend OceanCliff!

The team at Oceancliff went above and beyond to make our wedding day special for us. From answering all of our questions during the early days of planning, to day of event management, the staff was attentive, responsive, caring, and enthusiastic. Paige and I could not be happier to have had our special day at Oceancliff Hotel

We had the most incredible experience at OceanCliff. Everyone was so helpful, thoughtful and professional. They made our day so special. The staff is SO wonderful, and the venue is SO beautiful. I know we will come back as much as we can!
