Longwood Events opened Newport's most scenic private event venue, Belle Mer, in 2006. On Goat Island, Belle Mer has redefined simple chic by combining Newport's timeless elegance with the contemporary energy and understated glamour for which Longwood Events is well-known. Offering 14,000 square feet of indoor function space, combined with six acres of terraces on the edge of Narragansett Bay, Belle Mer has quickly become the most sought-after event venue in Newport for wedding receptions, social parties, galas, and corporate events.
