The Chanler

The Chanler is a historic and dramatic oceanfront estate perched along Newport’s Cliff Walk, offering breathtaking coastal views that are perfect for bright and airy photography. The property’s terraces, manicured lawns, and natural cliffs provide endless locations for portraits with soft, natural light. The combination of historic architecture, stone facades, and sweeping ocean vistas allows photographers to capture both romantic and editorial-style shots. Sunset over the Atlantic is especially stunning from the lawn or terrace. The Chanler’s intimate and elevated atmosphere makes every image feel polished yet natural.

Couples typically book 12–18 months in advance, particularly for summer and early fall weekends. Most rentals include 5 hours of event time, with options to extend for an additional fee. Total wedding costs are in the luxury range, often $75,000–$150,000+, depending on guest count, season, and menu selection. Pricing generally includes venue access, staffing, tables, chairs, linens, and on-site coordination. Additional fees may include service charges, taxes, and overtime. The Chanler accommodates up to 100–125 guests, creating an intimate and exclusive experience. Outdoor terraces and gardens are available for ceremonies and portraits, with indoor spaces as a reliable weather backup. Catering and bar service are in-house, and tastings are typically included. A food and beverage minimum applies, and bar packages are coordinated through the venue. There are getting-ready spaces on-site for the bridal party. Preferred vendors are recommended, though couples may use approved outside vendors. Guests can stay on-site in luxurious rooms or nearby Newport hotels, making it easy to enjoy a full wedding weekend.
