Belle Mer

Belle Mer is one of the brightest, cleanest waterfront venues in New England for natural light photography. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood every space with soft, even daylight. The all-white interiors reflect light beautifully and keep images timeless. Ocean views create a calm, coastal backdrop without visual clutter. Golden hour here is stunning, especially along the lawn and water’s edge. The space feels modern, elegant, and effortlessly editorial.

Couples typically book 12–18 months in advance for peak season weekends. Most rentals include 5 hours of reception time, with extensions available.

Total wedding costs often range $60,000–$120,000+, depending on guest count and season. Pricing generally includes the venue, tables, chairs, linens, staffing, and coordination support. A service charge and taxes are added to food and beverage totals.

Belle Mer can accommodate up to 300 guests, depending on the space used. It offers both outdoor lawns and stunning indoor spaces, ideal for any weather.

Catering and bar service are in-house, with tastings typically included.
A food and beverage minimum applies and varies by date. Multiple bar packages are available. Outside vendors are allowed with approval, and guests can stay nearby at Newport hotels and inns.
