Are children invited to the wedding?
We adore your children and understand that many of our guests have little ones. However, due to the historic nature of Rosecliff Mansion and its location at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, we have decided to host an adults only celebration. The mansion's architecture and its proximity to the ocean present unique safety considerations, and we aim to ensure a safe and enjoyable evening for all guests.
We understand that arranging childcare can be challenging. While we are unable to provide childcare services, we are happy to recommend trusted local babysitters who are background-checked and regularly work with our wedding planning company. Please reach out to Bridgette or Geoff directly for more information.
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Our ceremony will take place at the iconic Salon room inside Rosecliff. Coat check will be provided to all guests.
Cocktail hour will be on the lawn/terrace and we will have heat lamps as well. There are some grass areas if you'd like to check out the Rosecliff grounds but heels for women are generally acceptable.
Will there be transporation to the wedding?
Yes, we are providing shuttle service to/from the venue.
Experience Tours will pick up guests from Downtown Newport at the Marriott. This is a central location in town and all guests regardless of where you are staying can use this service. We would highly recommend using the shuttle to ensure on-time arrival.
Please board by 5:20pm.
