From the moment we inquired about hosting our wedding at The Bohlin, their team was incredibly responsive and helpful. They guided us through the entire planning process, providing great advice and ensuring every detail was taken care of. On the day of, their staff was efficient and professional, seamlessly setting up the venue and making sure our event ran smoothly. The Bohlin provided a beautiful backdrop for our special day, with a great layout and decor that exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful to the team at The Bohlin for their outstanding service and for helping make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

The Bohlin was the perfect venue for our wedding day. We got married in a nearby church and had the cocktail hour and reception at the Bohlin. The planning team was so professional and easy to work with from day one. I had multiple phone calls before signing the contract essentially going line-by-line to make sure I fully knew and understood what was and was not included (would recommend doing this with any venue). Although the minimums are pretty steep, the high-quality inclusions and mostly all-in-one package made it completely worth it. The venue can speak for itself! It is a gorgeous waterfront hidden in the heart of downtown Newport. One of our priorities was easy logistics for our guests and this was a perfect location for that. Our other priority was good food and let me tell you, Newport Restaurant Group is top notch. Our guests raved for weeks about the quality of the food. The last thing I'll highlight is how personalized it felt throughout the wedding planning process. The whole time it felt like ours was the only wedding they were planning during a peak month of June. We are thrilled we chose The Bohlin for our special day.
