This waterfront gem offers a spectacular setting that combines Newport’s coastal charm with an elegant flair, making it an unforgettable backdrop for any wedding.

The Bohlin, with its stunning Sperry tent and breathtaking views of the harbor and bridge, creates a magical setting that is both picturesque and inviting. The ability to capture moments against the backdrop of sailboats and the lit-up nighttime harbor adds a unique touch to wedding photos that is hard to replicate elsewhere .

The ceremony site, particularly with its location on the dock, provides an extraordinary setting for exchanging vows. Imagine capturing a moment with a schooner passing by in the background; it’s simply captivating and adds a dramatic effect to the ceremony that leaves both guests and couples in awe .

Furthermore, the ambiance under the Sperry tent is something to behold. With cozy string lights and lush greenery, the setting offers a blend of elegance and a relaxed, coastal vibe, perfect for creating a memorable celebration. The tent, custom-designed with inspiration from a sister property, showcases the meticulous attention to detail that The Bohlin prides itself on .

The staff at The Bohlin deserves a special mention for their expertise and support. Their professionalism and helpfulness, especially during critical moments like organizing photo sessions on the dock, ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. The culinary experience is another highlight, with delicious and beautifully presented dishes that reflect the venue’s commitment to quality.

In every wedding I’ve photographed at The Bohlin, the natural beauty, combined with the venue’s distinctive features, has allowed me to create truly stunning and memorable photographs. It’s a place where every moment feels significant, and the joy of the occasion is magnified by the surrounding beauty.

For couples seeking a venue that offers both a picturesque setting and an atmosphere of relaxed elegance, The Bohlin in Newport is a choice that promises to make their special day...

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of working at many venues across New England, and The Bohlin stands out as one of the most breathtaking and well-managed locations I’ve ever photographed.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Newport Harbor, The Bohlin offers a coastal elegance that’s hard to beat. The marina views during golden hour are truly magical — it’s the kind of natural light and scenery photographers dream of. The ceremony space on the docks provides a unique nautical charm, while the sailcloth tented reception area is bright, spacious, and perfect for capturing both wide scenic shots and intimate moments.

From a logistics perspective, The Bohlin’s layout is very photographer-friendly. There's plenty of natural light, thoughtful flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception, and multiple stunning backdrops all within a short walk — including boats, docks, and classic Newport architecture. Even on overcast days, the harbor setting still photographs beautifully.

The staff at The Bohlin is another major highlight. They are professional, communicative, and extremely accommodating, not just to couples but also to vendors. They help keep the day running smoothly without being intrusive, which allows for authentic, candid photography throughout the event.

If you’re a couple looking for a quintessential Newport waterfront wedding or a vendor considering working there, The Bohlin is a top-tier venue that consistently delivers unforgettable experiences and stunning imagery. I always look forward to returning!

I truly cannot say enough great things about The Bohlin. We had our absolute dream wedding there this past October, and the team at The Bohlin was amazing to work with, beginning to end. Sara was our event manager, and her patience, responsiveness, and expertise are just a few things on the long list of reasons she was incredible to work with! She made our dream wedding a reality, and really is the best in the business! Everything was absolutely perfect - the decorations/set-up, the food, the service, and everything in between! It also goes without saying that the location is to die for - right on the water at the Newport Yachting Center, which happens to be in the heart of downtown Newport! We couldn't have imagined a more perfect day. We will always cherish the memories made, and we give Sara and her team so much credit for making them happen. I could go on and on, but the point is that I really could not recommend any venue...
