Hotel Viking, located in the heart of Newport, Rhode Island, is a premier wedding venue that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern elegance. Established in 1926, this iconic hotel offers a variety of event spaces and comprehensive services to make your special day unforgettable.​

Start your celebration the night before on the roof top terrace witnessing the stunning sunset over Newport and ease into one of the most special days in your life.



Venue Highlights

Viking Ballroom: The largest event space at 5,880 sq. ft., accommodating up to 500 guests. Ideal for grand receptions, it can also be divided into smaller sections for more intimate gatherings.

Bellevue Ballroom: A classic 4,032 sq. ft. ballroom that can host up to 425 guests, perfect for elegant receptions. ​

Both ballrooms leave plenty of options for decorating it the way you envision it.

Kay Chapel: A historic chapel dating back to 1859, offering a unique and intimate setting for ceremonies with up to 200 guests. Its original stained-glass windows and woodwork add to its charm. Even though it might be on the darker side, the atmosphere and intimacy it offers, absolutely make up for it.

My job as a photographer is to create the perfect light to capture your celebration and the simple fact that this is a not a public church and flash photography is allowed, makes it one of my favorites.

Additional Spaces: Various salons and rooms, such as Salons A–E and the Touro Room, provide flexible options for different event sizes and styles and can also be used for getting ready for your celebration.
