Tented Wedding Vendors in Newport

A tented wedding is a New England classic, and Newport does it beautifully — a billowing sailcloth tent on a mansion lawn, an estate meadow, or a bluff above the sea, open to the breeze with shelter overhead. The vendors who do tented celebrations — planners, tent and rental companies, caterers, and more — serve Newport and Aquidneck Island. Post your wedding for free, and tented wedding vendors send you proposals directly.

What to know

Plan the tent early

Sailcloth tents, sizing, flooring, and lighting take lead time. A planner and tent company shape the whole setup.

Build in the essentials

A tent on a lawn means bringing in power, restrooms, and a kitchen. A full-service planner coordinates the rentals.

Embrace the open air

A tent keeps the lawn-and-sea setting while covering you for weather. Note your date and vendors will plan for the season.
