Wedding Venue in Newport, Rhode Island

Nautical Newport wedding at The Bohlin

This dockside tented wedding venue is surrounded by beautiful yachts and sailboats; creating an unmatched nautical vibe for your Newport wedding. Their location on the harbor has a breathtaking view, perfect for seaside wedding ceremonies and my favorite- portraits of the newlyweds at sunset! Bonus tip: this couple rented a private yacht to help them arrive in style to their celebration, which was not only fun but perfect for photos!

Their elegant wedding ceremony space overlooking the Narragansett bay & Newport bridge will truly wow your guests.
