A Newport Wedding Planner: Tip of the Day!

After a great planning weekend up in Newport I have promised tips and advice for planning your Newport wedding. Continue to check back for more to come!

A Newport Wedding Planner: Tip Of The Day. If you are planning your wedding in Newport, RI (or wherever your destination of choice is)... Don't forget when coordinating your transportation for your guests... plan for traffic!

Newport traffic in high season can be pretty brutal...OK not NYC brutal, but enough that you want to consider it! You will be surprised how long it can take you to just get down Thames.

Make sure to check out "Things To Do-Events Calendar" at GoNewport.com to see if there are any festivals or events to be aware of. I was in town with a client and traffic was so backed up on Bellevue...it was no wonder Monica Seles was being inducted to the Tennis Hall of Fame!

So keep it in mind and talk to your transportation company...they do this every weekend and can help you with timing. Air on the side of caution...we want your guests to arrive on time or early and we don't want them to miss a thing!

For some fun ways to cart your guests around Newport... everyone always loves the Newport Wedding Trolley by Viking Tours!!

Rockstar Limo has great vehicles too!

There are others as well in my war chest, but I can't reveal all my SECRETS ; )

These StoryBooks become an heirloom you can cherish and pass down for generations.

Newport Vistors Center...

Last weekend I was with a wonderful client planning their wedding for this October at the beautiful Newport, RI venue Belle Mer on Goat Island.

There are lots of tips and photos to come on Belle Mer and the planning weekend, so continue to check back as I reveal the SECRETS behind planning a Newport Wedding!

The first suggestion I have is on your next trip to Newport stop by The Vistors Center.

Here is a link to some great Newport area maps to upload to your wedding website: http://www.citimaps.com/newport/maps.html

The Vistors Center is a great place to pick up the free Newport magazines and free maps of Newport to provide your guests in their welcome bags. There are also tons of great suggestions for things to do in Newport, brochures, tours and information that will help you in your planning and make sure your guests enjoy all that Newport has to offer!
