Couples on the Belvedere Experience
Belvedere planned a wedding at one of the Newport mansions that surpassed anything we had imagined. Every detail — the grand ballroom, the lighting, the service, the flow of three hundred guests — was executed with a precision and elegance that only comes from real experience. Our families still describe it as the most beautiful wedding they have ever attended.
From our first meeting, it was clear we were in the hands of true professionals. Belvedere managed a complex black-tie ballroom wedding with grace, discretion, and impeccable taste. Nothing was overlooked and nothing was left to chance. The result was timeless, refined, and utterly seamless. Worth every consideration.
We wanted classic, grand, and elegant — not trendy — and Belvedere understood exactly. They curated the finest vendors in New England, designed a ballroom that took our guests' breath away, and orchestrated the entire evening flawlessly. Fifteen years of experience shows in every single detail. Simply the best.

Frequently Asked
Do you have relationships with the Newport mansions?
Yes — deep ones, built over fifteen years. We regularly plan weddings at the historic mansions of Bellevue Avenue, the estates of Ocean Drive, and Newport's grandest ballrooms. Our relationships and experience allow us to secure and navigate these extraordinary venues on your behalf.
Can you manage a large, formal black-tie wedding?
It is our specialty. We regularly orchestrate elegant weddings of two to four hundred guests, managing the flow, the timing, and the service with the precision a grand affair requires. Complex, formal celebrations are exactly where our experience shows most.
How many weddings do you accept each year?
Intentionally few. We limit the number of weddings we take on annually so that each couple receives our full attention and the flawless execution our name is known for. For this reason, the finest dates book well in advance — we recommend reaching out early.
Do you work with our preferred vendors?
Certainly. We're delighted to work alongside vendors you love, and we can also introduce you to New England's most accomplished caterers, florists, and musicians from our curated network. Either way, we manage every vendor relationship with care and discretion.
How far in advance should we begin?
For a full mansion or ballroom wedding, 14–18 months is ideal — the finest venues and vendors book well ahead, particularly for the coveted summer and early-autumn dates in Newport. If your date is sooner, do reach out; we will tell you honestly what is possible.
How is your pricing structured?
Following a private consultation, we provide a clear proposal with a flat planning and design fee based on the scope of your celebration. Venue, vendor, and design costs are tracked transparently in your budget. We believe in clarity and discretion — never vague percentages.
