Getting around
Belle Mer has complimentary on-site parking. Ride-shares (Uber & Lyft) run reliably in Newport — the easiest way home after the reception. We're looking into a shuttle from the hotel blocks; details will land here once rooms are set.
What to Wear
Cocktail attire
A suit or sport coat — no tux needed. A cocktail dress or dressy separates.
September evenings on the water cool into the low 60s — bring a layer. The ceremony is on grass, so flats or block heels are your friend.
Questions
FAQ
Can I bring my kids?
We love your little ones, but the wedding weekend is adults-only. Newport has great sitters and grandparents love an assignment. (Placeholder — Andrew & Jenna to confirm.)
Can I bring a plus-one?
Your invitation is addressed to everyone in your party, and the RSVP form lists who's included. Questions about your invite? Just text us — we'd rather you ask.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Both. The ceremony is on the oceanfront lawn and the reception is inside the Water Salon — floor-to-ceiling glass on the water. If weather turns, everything moves indoors.
What should I wear?
Cocktail attire — a suit or sport coat, a cocktail dress or dressy separates. Evenings run cool on the water, so bring a layer. Flats or block heels are best on the lawn.
Will there be an open bar?
Yes — drinks are on us all night. Please plan a safe ride back; ride-shares are easy in Newport. (Placeholder — Andrew & Jenna to confirm.)
How do I get around — parking, ride-shares, shuttle?
Belle Mer has complimentary on-site parking. Uber and Lyft run reliably in Newport and are the easiest ride home after the reception. We're looking into a shuttle from the hotel room blocks — details will be added to the Travel section once rooms are set.
When should I RSVP by?
By the deadline shown on the RSVP form below — our caterer needs a final headcount. Plans change? Fill out the form again; your latest answer counts.
What is there to do in Newport?
So much — mansions, the Cliff Walk, sailing, beaches, and some of the best food in New England. Our favorites are on the Explore Newport page.
