In Full Bloom: Wedding Inspo We’re Loving from The Newport Flower Show

Posted on June 24, 2025 by - ALL THINGS WEDDING, OCEANCLIFF HOTEL, REGATTA PLACE, THE NEWPORT EXPERIENCE

This past weekend, Newport was in full bloom—literally. The 2025 Newport Flower Show, held at the iconic Rosecliff Mansion, was the place to be for floral fanatics, design lovers, and anyone dreaming up a stunning wedding day. The theme? “A Floral Fair”—and let’s just say, it was the kind of magic we wish we could bottle up and bring straight to the aisle.

Where Gilded Age Glamour Met Whimsical Romance

Inside Rosecliff’s grand halls, floral designers and botanical artists pulled inspiration from the mansion’s glamorous past, especially a 1913 fairy tale-themed dinner party hosted by Rosecliff’s original owner, Theresa Fair Oelrichs. Think: enchanting tablescapes, gilded accents, and dreamy blooms that looked like they were lifted from a storybook garden.

As wedding pros, we couldn’t help but see serious ceremony and reception inspo in the design details—soft pastel palettes, climbing florals, and lush romantic textures that feel right at home in a Regatta Place tented soirée or a seaside cocktail hour.

Summer Fair, But Make It Chic

Adding a playful twist, the first floor of the mansion gave us a burst of color and charm with cheerful county fair-inspired arrangements. Imagine bold blooms, creative displays, and unexpected pairings that felt modern, fun, and wildly Pinterest-worthy. If you’re a couple who loves a pop of color or wants to bring a whimsical touch to your floral vision, this was your moment.

Alfresco Vibes on the Ocean Lawn

Out on the lawn, the Flower Show continued in full force with horticulture competitions and garden installations—set against Rosecliff’s swoon-worthy Atlantic Ocean backdrop (yes, it’s giving major Regatta Place energy). Local garden clubs and talented amateur designers showcased vibrant cut flowers and inspiring outdoor displays. From lush wildflower moments to polished English garden looks, it was a fresh-air dream full of ideas for ceremony backdrops, photo ops, and reception details.

Don’t Skip the Stems—and the Shops

After taking in all that beauty, guests flocked to the Marketplace, where curated vendors offered everything from floral decor and garden gifts to timeless pieces from the Newport Mansions Stores. Whether you’re shopping for your wedding, your home, or just a little treat-yourself moment, it was retail therapy with serious style.

Ready to Bloom at Regatta Place?

If the Flower Show lit a spark for your wedding vision, we’re ready to bring it to life right here at Regatta Place. Our harborfront setting is the perfect canvas for everything from romantic fairytale florals to bold garden-party glam. We loved seeing this weekend’s creativity unfold—and we can’t wait to see how you make it your own.

Let’s talk blooms, views, and your dream day! 🌿

Top 10 Honeymoon Destinations in the U.S.

Posted on May 20, 2025 by - OCEANCLIFF HOTEL, REGATTA PLACE, THE NEWPORT EXPERIENCE

You don’t have to cross oceans to enjoy an unforgettable honeymoon. Whether you’re hoping to stick to a budget, stay closer to home, or simply can’t spare too many vacation days, choosing a honeymoon destination within the U.S. can be just as magical. “People often forget how many amazing places there are right here in the States,” says travel advisor Julia Gregory. “With the right planning, a domestic honeymoon can feel just as extraordinary as going abroad.”

We’ve rounded up some of the top honeymoon-worthy destinations across the U.S.—from scenic mountain adventures across Yellowstone Park and Sedona to laid-back beach escapes along the coasts of California and Rhode Island. Keep reading to discover our Top 10 post-wedding getaways.

Gregory notes that Kauai is gaining more attention lately. While the island remains one of Hawaii’s more untouched and naturally rugged destinations, it still delivers that classic honeymoon feel—especially along the southern coast, where resorts like Ko’a Kea combine luxury with laid-back island vibes. For a more tranquil experience, 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay on the North Shore offers chic, calming design, private cabanas, and a strong focus on wellness and fitness.

Craving a charming, small-town atmosphere for your U.S.-based honeymoon? Set your sights on Block Island, a hidden gem off the coast of Rhode Island that’s just a short ferry ride away. Book a stay at the stylish Block Island Beach House and spend a leisurely weekend exploring the island by bike—it’s only seven miles long and three miles wide, making it perfectly manageable yet full of surprises. With over 40 dining spots, there’s no shortage of local flavor: Dead Eye Dick’s offers a cozy, backyard feel, while Persephone’s is the go-to for coffee and casual bites. Don’t miss the dramatic Mohegan Bluffs—descending the 141 steps to the rocky shoreline rewards you with one of the most breathtaking beach views in the U.S. or beyond.

Tucked along a quieter stretch of California’s central coast, Big Sur is celebrated for its dramatic cliffs, fog-kissed views, and peaceful luxury hideaways like Post Ranch Inn and Ventana Big Sur, both set amid towering cypress trees. “Beyond the breathtaking landscapes, the region is also a haven for food and wine lovers,” says Gregory. “Carmel Valley, in particular, is home to rustic, down-to-earth vineyards that offer an authentic tasting experience.”

Sticking to the mainland? Consider staying with us in Newport, Rhode Island — a coastal gem known for its postcard-perfect harbor views and opulent Gilded Age mansions. Fun fact: JFK and Jackie Kennedy tied the knot here in 1953, adding a layer of presidential charm to the town’s rich history. While visiting, enjoy classic Newport pastimes like sailing, tennis, and exploring historic estates such as The Breakers and The Elms along the iconic Cliff Walk. For a stay steeped in elegance, The Chanler at Cliff Walk—with its regal Regency and Louis XVI–style interiors—is frequently praised as one of the most romantic boutique hotels in the U.S.

Spanning Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, Yellowstone National Park is a vast and awe-inspiring natural wonder. “A great itinerary starts in Jackson, with a hike through the Grand Tetons before heading into the park,” suggests Gregory. “The diversity of the landscape and the abundance of wildlife make it truly unforgettable.” For a honeymoon stay that blends comfort with adventure, she recommends Sage Lodge in Montana—where couples can unwind at the spa, go rafting, or even take a painting class together.

For couples who crave movement and mindfulness, Sedona is a desert escape that checks every box. “From hot air balloon rides to scenic hikes, there’s no shortage of outdoor adventures,” says Gregory. A standout stay? Ambiente Sedona. “The architecture is unlike anything else in the area,” she notes. “With floor-to-ceiling glass walls, guests can soak in sweeping Red Rock views right from their room—and some suites even feature rooftop terraces, perfect for catching those unforgettable sunsets.”

Savannah, Georgia offers everything you’d want in a romantic escape: elegant garden squares draped in Spanish moss, intimate bars and eateries, a vibrant arts and music culture, and even select neighborhoods where you can enjoy a cocktail while wandering—thanks to relaxed open container laws. While downtown boasts plenty of charming hotels, the nearby Montage Palmetto Bluff stands out as the region’s premier luxury resort.

For honeymooners seeking luxury and romance, Northern California’s Napa Valley is an unbeatable choice. Renowned for its elegant hotels, prestigious vineyards, and acclaimed dining— including the legendary French Laundry and numerous Michelin-starred restaurants—Napa offers a delightful blend of indulgence and charm. Don’t forget to set aside time to explore the nearby gems of Sonoma and Healdsburg during your stay.

Celebrate your new marriage in the vibrant city of New Orleans, where stylish hotels like Peter & Paul and Maison de la Luz set the tone for a chic stay. Savor intimate dinners at romantic favorites such as Coquette and La Petite Grocery, and unwind with a glass of wine at the charming backyard bar Bacchanal. When you’re ready to explore, take a leisurely stroll through the city’s lively streets. For a memorable day trip, cross the 24-mile Lake Pontchartrain Causeway—one of the longest over-water bridges in the world—and discover the quaint towns of Covington and Abita Springs.

Exploring the islands at the southern tip of the continental U.S. offers an ideal mix of laid-back vibes and sunny weather for a honeymoon. Begin your journey in Miami to soak up the city’s energetic atmosphere, then make your way through Key Largo and Islamorada, where you can enjoy scuba diving, seaplane adventures, and plenty of fresh seafood paired with tropical cocktails. Top places to stay include Parrot Key in Key West and the secluded cottages at Moorings Village in Islamorada, famously featured in the Netflix thriller Bloodline.

When OceanCliff Was Shamrock Cliff: A Flashback to Disco Parties by the Sea

Posted on March 28, 2025 by - OCEANCLIFF HOTEL

When you step onto the stunning grounds of OceanCliff, with its sweeping views of Narragansett Bay and timeless elegance, it’s easy to feel transported to another era. But long before it became one of Newport’s most sought-after wedding venues, OceanCliff was known by a different name: Shamrock Cliff.

Shamrock Cliff: A Gilded Age Legacy

Shamrock Cliff, now known as OceanCliff, was constructed between 1894 and 1896 for G.M. (Gaun McRobert) Hutton, a Baltimore steel industrialist, and his wife, Celeste Marguerite Winans. The mansion was designed in the Romanesque style by the architectural firms Peabody & Stearns of Boston and the McNeil Brothers. Notably, the landscape design was crafted by the esteemed Olmsted Brothers, with Frederick Law Olmsted, renowned for designing New York’s Central Park, as a principal.

One of the largest of Newport’s summer cottages, Shamrock Cliff is characterized by its sprawling splayed-U-plan, rough-cut granite construction, and a complex polychrome-pantile cross-gable roof. Dominating its profile are two prominent towers: a four-story tower at the east end of the south wing and a three-story tower at the intersection of the main block and the north wing. The mansion’s design is further accentuated by large, regularly spaced chimneys that complement its low-slung profile.

Disco Nights at Shamrock Cliff

Fast forward to the 1970s, and Shamrock Cliff was enjoying a new kind of popularity. During this vibrant era, the mansion played host to glamorous disco parties that drew locals and visitors alike to dance the night away under glittering lights. The mansion’s waterfront ballroom and elegant setting made it the perfect backdrop for these lively gatherings, where the pulse of disco music filled the air and guests dressed to impress.

These parties became the stuff of legend, adding a colorful chapter to the mansion’s storied history. While the disco era eventually faded, its influence and energy left a lasting impression.

A vintage poster from this era reflects the venue’s lively atmosphere:

From Shamrock Cliff to OceanCliff

Initially serving as a private residence, the estate passed to the Huttons’ daughter, Elsie Celeste Hutton, upon her parents’ passing. In 1958, Elsie sold the property, leading to its transformation into a hotel and resort known as OceanCliff—a name that reflects its stunning coastal location and luxurious appeal. Today, OceanCliff stands as a premier destination for weddings and celebrations, drawing guests from near and far to experience its timeless charm.

While OceanCliff has transformed from its days as Shamrock Cliff, its history remains an essential part of its identity. The echoes of disco nights and Gilded Age grandeur still linger, providing a rich and fascinating history to the elegance and beauty of the venue today.

From disco nights to timeless weddings, OceanCliff continues to be a place where unforgettable memories are made.

Dog Wedding Chaperones: A Must-Have Trend for Your Big Day

Posted on March 25, 2025 by - REGATTA PLACE

Planning a wedding involves countless details—from choosing the perfect venue and selecting the menu to deciding whether Aunt Edna’s interpretive dance deserves a spot on the itinerary. But for dog owners, there’s another important consideration: should your four-legged fur baby be part of your big day? Do dog wedding chaperones exist?

Including pets in weddings has become increasingly popular. In fact, according to a WeddingWire survey, 38% of pet owners choose to have their furry companions involved in their celebrations. And it’s easy to see why—dogs are family, and having them by your side on such a special occasion can make the day even more meaningful. Whether they serve as the ring bearer, walk down the aisle with you, or simply pose for photos, their presence adds a personal and heartfelt touch to the event.

That said, bringing a dog to a wedding requires careful planning. Weddings can be overwhelming for pets, with large crowds, loud music, and long hours. There’s also the practical aspect to consider—asking a guest to take on pet-sitting duties means they might miss out on key moments, and managing transportation, potty breaks, and overall care throughout the event can quickly become stressful.

Fortunately, there’s a simple solution: hiring a professional wedding day dog chaperone. These experts ensure your pet is comfortable, entertained, and well cared for throughout the celebration. From handling walks and bathroom breaks to making sure your pup is photo-ready, a chaperone allows you to enjoy your wedding day without worrying about your furry friend’s needs. With the right planning and support, your beloved dog can be part of your wedding in a way that’s fun, seamless, and stress-free for everyone involved. These experts ensure your pet is well cared for throughout the celebration, allowing you to enjoy your wedding without any added stress.

And the Winner Is… A Recap of the Mac & Cheese Smackdown!

Posted on March 4, 2025 by - OCEANCLIFF HOTEL, SAFARI ROOM

We had an absolute blast participating in the seventh annual Mac & Cheese Smackdown during the Newport Winter Festival! The event was held at the Newport Marriott, and the atmosphere was electric as foodies flooded in, ready to sample and vote for the best mac-n-cheese. The competition was real, with a total of twelve incredible local restaurants competing for the top spot, and we were thrilled to be part of it all.

The day was filled with endless flavors—it was no small task to choose the best among so many creative and delicious takes on mac-n-cheese. Our dish—a rich four-cheese mac (gouda, gruyere, parmesan, and extra sharp cheddar)—was topped off with brown butter parmesan toasted breadcrumbs, which we proudly presented to the crowd. 

The competition began with Wharf Southern Kitchen and their Guinness cheese sauce mac, followed by Safari Room showcasing our signature four-cheese blend. From there, the tasting journey continued with everything from brisket-loaded macs to lobster Florentine creations. Despite the amazing variety of dishes, the response to our mac-n-cheese was fantastic, with many voters praising its creamy texture and savory breadcrumbs.  We loved hearing feedback and seeing how each unique take sparked different opinions. Some even suggested that the competition needed categories like “Best Classic” and “Most Creative,” and we couldn’t agree more—it was such a fun, dynamic event!

At 3:30pm, the winners were announced. We were absolutely thrilled to take home third place—and even more excited to be recognized for having the best décor of the event! The entire experience was a fantastic reminder of the amazing talent and creativity within our community. The winners from Rising Tide Barbeque—an impressive first-year contender—deservedly took the first-place spot, and Skiff Bar came in second, with everyone celebrating the spirit of the competition.

It was a day filled with delicious mac, camaraderie, and friendly competition. Thank you to everyone who voted for our dish and made this such a memorable experience for all of us at Safari Room! We’ll definitely be back next year, ready to cook up more cheesy goodness and bring even more fun to the festival!
