The Bohlin is a waterfront wedding venue at the Newport Yachting Center in the heart of downtown Newport. It is anchored by a signature Sperry sailcloth tent that sidewalls fully enclose, with electricity and heat. Couples say their vows among the sailboats of Newport Harbor as the sun sets over the Newport Bridge, and celebrate for five hours with up to 250 seated or 400 for a casual reception. Every event includes a personal event planner, custom catering by Executive Chef Joseph Melanson, a private waterfront patio with teak furniture, and tables, chairs and linens. Menus include plated dinners with entrees from $30 to $62, a $130 station-style reception, and bar packages from $48 to $75 per guest.
