About this venue

Ochre Court holds a rich history, having been built between 1890 and 1895 as the summer residence of Ogden Goelet. It's truly a magnificent location, nestled within the heart of the picturesque Salve Regina University campus, boasting breathtaking views of the Newport Cliff Walk. All ceremonies must take place in our Chapel or off site and you must pick from one of our preferred caterers. If you're interested in taking a tour of Ochre Court firsthand, I would be delighted to arrange a personalized tour for you.

    My wife and I had our wedding at Ochre Court over the summer. 3 months later, our guests are still calling and texting us to say it was the best wedding they have ever attended and that Ochre Court was stunning. Laura, Johanna, & Adelina helped it to make such a special day for us. From the tables to the food to all of the help with planning, it was such an amazing place for us to celebrate our marriage and enjoy the day with friends and family. It is the perfect wedding venue on the Cliff Walk with the classic Newport setting!

    It was a pleasure working with Laura and Adelina. 5 stars isn't enough to quantify our experience. It was a breathtaking view, a beautiful flow during our event, and delicious food. Our guests are still talking about our event! We wish we could go back and replay. I definitely recommend having any type of event at Ochre Court.
