Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort

Our wedding at the Newport was amazing. Pamela worked with my budget and was amazing at making sure I got everything I wanted. She was especially helpful the week before the wedding, and ensured that everything was going to be great.

Newport Beachside is such a beautiful resort! From the first time we saw the place we knew we wanted to have our wedding! Tammy was amazing! She made me feel like we had been friends forever! She always answered my calls and emails right away and helped me with all my decisions along the way! The day of the wedding she was a gift from god! she made sure my ceremony, my reception, and everything in between was perfect! and it certainly was! My guest raved about how beautiful the resort was, how friendly the staff was, and how amazing my wedding was! I am so glad we choose Newport Beachside!

we had our wedding at the newport beachside hotel and resort in sunny isles,fl. the hotel is really pretty and the service is great! from the beggining the director of catering shows you around the hotel, the different ballrooms, and ceremony sites! they helped answered any question we had and also accomodated our special requests! we had a tasting day, to choose our menu selections! everything tasted really good. they took care of every detail corcerning the decoration and made sure everything was the way we had asked! our wedding was amazing and we could not imagine having it anywhere else! we would recommed this location, we had our ceremony cocktail hour and reception at the hotel and it came out perfect!

The Newport is an amazing venue! We had the most amazing wedding... Holly was FANTASTIC. There is no way we could have had the wedding we did with out her. During the reception Brad was fantastic as well catering to our every need! Our reception was in the seven seas spa.... Our guests were telling us all night how unique this venue was and how great the food was. Thank you to Holly and all the staff at the Newport Beach Resort!

I cannot be more thrilled that I chose the Newport Beachside for my rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception. The venue is beautiful. Holly (wedding coordinator) is simply amazing; she is calm no matter how stressed you are and is so easy going, she really set the standard high for my maid of honor who is currently engaged and looking for a venue! Michael (kitchen manager) constantly ensured that we were happy with the food and drink for the entire weekend, and he didn't need to, it was all fantastic! Everyone at the hotel was friendly and helpful. They truly made our weekend a great success

I had my Wedding on December 18,2011. My Wedding was just AMAZING!!! It was exactly how I wanted it! Tiffany Ballroom was looking absolutely beautiful, Holly is the best!!! She made all my requests possible!!! and she even organized it better that I expected! Thanks Holly for everything! Loved my wedding thanks to you!!!!! and Viviana was my officiant and she made a LOVELY Ceremony!!!! She is the best!!! Thanks Viviana!!!! I will definitely recommend the Newport Beachside Hotel and Resort for your wedding!!!!!!!!

Holly was my coordinator and was just amazing. She answered all my emails so quickly, she made me feel so welcome and comfortable during our stay there and she produced my dream wedding. Michael was the banquet manager who handled our dinner and did a fantastic job. He made sure that we always had a drink and were happy at every moment. He even saw us the next night and bout us shots. The staff was so warm and attentive. They made our wedding just perfect.

The Newport was an amazing place to have my wedding and reception. Holly was wonderful to work with. She was always prompt with email responses to ALL my questions. They were flexible with the menu, which my guests enjoyed very much that night. We held the our festivities on a Friday night to keep the costs down. My family flew from Delaware so finding an affordable hotel right on the beach was a dream and the Newport made my dream come true. The night of the wedding went very smoothly. Holly was there at the start but Michael stayed throughout the night. He catered to our needs (ie. turning up the AC and sending our food to the room since my husband and I did not have an appetite that night). Michael also surprised us with a bottle of champagne, chardonnay, and whiskey as a gift from the hotel. Our hotel room was very spacious and even had a full size refrigerator and kitchen sink area, which was helpful when we ate our wedding dinner the next day. I would not have changed anything about our venue or menu. Great experience.

Since the first time we visited The Newport Beachside resort we immediately knew that this was the place we wanted to have our wedding at!! They definitely offer the best prices and value for hold a beach wedding in South Florida. The entire staff was fantastic to work with from start to finish especially Tammy Malamud which was our catering manager. She made us feel comfortable from the very beginning and went above and beyond to make sure that everything turned our as we imagined on our wedding day! She was always very prompt on get back to me and happily assisted us in selecting the linens and even upgraded us to chiavari chairs!! She was even able to have our bridal suite ready earlier than average so that my entire bridal party and I could get ready comfortably. The staff on the day of was very helpful and the service was fantastic. All of our guests were very impressed with the food, level of service and overall experience. We could not have chosen a better place to hold our wedding at and we could not have been happier!!

Thank you for helping us have a wonderful reception Newport! Holly Pacheco is awesome! She made us feel comfortable and is flexible and makes you feel like a friend. We made an instant connection with her! She made sure we were happy with their services and always treated us like we were the only couple she was working with. We felt like royalty! And the food wad delicious! Only one of my guests stayed at the hotel for the night so I dont know about their services as a hotel but as a catering hall we were very pleased with the service.

I did not give them a 5 for value for cost because it seemed like there was not enought food at the cocktail hour. There were some lounge seats and it seemed like the waiters only served guests seating there. I actually had to go and ask them to go take some food to my family that did not fit there and had to be standing a little farther.
Another thing was that coffee was supposed to be served but it never did.

As soon as we walked into the Newport, we knew it was going to be our wedding venue! Holly was a magnificent coordinator. She helped us plan our wedding, from the food we selected to the linens we used, while we lived out of state. The rehearsal dinner was great! Although we couldn't have our beach ceremony, due to rain, Holly was able to set us up in the room outside the upstairs ballroom. Holly and her staff made the cocktail and reception wonderful as well! We were very happy to have selected the Newport!

The Newportbeachside had great food and drinks for our cocktail hour and reception. They had a beautiful arch available for our beach ceremony. They have 2 sites for the beach wedding and several rooms for the reception. The hotel was undergoing renovations so you have to make sure you ask for the renovated rooms. Overall this was a great venue and I recommend it.

Right from the beginning, the Newport Beachside Hotel provided me with the best service. Tammy Malamud was the Event Planner whom I dealt with and she made me feel as a special bride! Tammy went a long way to accomodate my wishes and my husband's wishes. She helped me with all the decorations and even provided me with ideas on the wedding. My husband and I couldn't have been happier in having our wedding at the Newport Beachside Hotel since all the personnel there made us feel like king and queen and made us feel very special on the day of our wedding and on the days of our stay at the hotel. We recommend this hotel for their service and their great food. The area is beautiful since it's right on the beach. And I THANK Tammy for making our wedding day unforgetable by doing everything possible to make our wedding day very special!

Best price I found for beach hotel wedding as they let us customize our menu to fit our budget. Food and service was good. It was a little hectic since 2 weddings were going on at the same time though but it still all went well.

I had my reception at the Newport Beachside Resort. Our experiences were great until wedding day and after. On wedding day, the salon tried to overcharge my entire wedding party. On Sunday following our Saturday reception, we attempted to collect items that belonged to us and almost a month later we still do not have them. I would suggest placing the gift table close to a family member that will not be away from the table often.

Our wedding was amazing! The wedding coordinator, Holly, is the absolute BEST. She is very professional, thorough, and dependable. She worked extremely hard to make our day special and perfect. The food was delicious! All of our friends and family are still raving about the party and food. My only compliant was with the AV person. The WONDERFUL wedding coordinator had to run to the store and buy a CD player and microphone bc the AV guy showed up with only a speaker! ANd still during the ceremony our guests were not able to hear our ceremony on the beach bc the sound still didnt work.

The Newport did a great job with our ceremony and reception. They tended to our every need and responded to questions and concerns immediately. We would definitely recommend having your wedding at the Newport.

We chose the just the 2 of us package here. It was absolutely perfect except the room promised on the website was not at all what we got. After discussing it with the director of marketing, however, we were refunded for the second night and given vouchers for Kitchen 305. Kitchen 305 has the most amazing food and extremely friendly service. I must say the room service was not the greatest and the menu prices did not match what we were charged. The director of marketing said he would address that problem as well, though. The concierge was somewhat helpful, but they had no knowledge of a snorkel/scuba tour that was a few blocks away. We found it on our own after stopping at the nearby Trump Towers. Overall it was a pleasant stay and the package was well worth the money!

The Newport and staff were fantastic to work with from start to finish. Tammy Malamud was our catering manager and she was so acommodating and flexible. She had good communication with me and was always so pleasant to work with. She went above and beyond for us and we are so appreciative! The staff on the day of was very helpful and the service was great. My guests have even commented on the level of service being good. We've also received compliments on the food and overall experience there. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Not to mention, for being a resort on the beach, the prices are unbeatable!

My husband and I scouted at a ton of locations between Broward and Miami-Dade County. After meeting Holly and Tammy at the Newport we stopped looking. They were so accommodating. The prices were more than reasonable for everything you get. Day-of & Day-after Holly and Michael, Banquet Event Manager were great! I felt so comfortable that I let Holly handle organizing the room and I waited to see it when all my guests did.
I want this review to be totally honest, so I will let you know there were a couple of mishaps at the hotel. Nothing to do with the wedding itself. Not all the rooms are updated and even the rooms that are still need work. A guest was stuck in the room's bathroom for over an hour because the lock got off-track. He ultimately had to break the door down. But all in all, the Newport is a great venue and value!

First off let me say that Holly Pacheco did an amazing job with everything! She was so easy to work with, friendly, flexible and comforting when I got a little stressed out. The food was really good, the bartenders were generous, the wait staff was very nice and everything was taken care of. The only minor complaints I had was that we didn't receive the coffee and tea service at the end of the night but I don't think many people really cared at that point and that they had booked a pool party with bikini models and dj's on the same day as the wedding but luckily the weather wasn't the greatest so no one really showed up for it... and Holly had assured me she'd pull the plug herself if they were interrupting anything. The Newport is a great venue for an affordable price, especially after looking around at other venues in South Florida.

Holly Pacheco is AWESOME! We really wanted a beach wedding, but because of the prices we were forced to look beyond Fort Lauderdale. Two coworkers said they had weddings there so we went to check it out and we fell in love the moment we walked in! The hotel has old Florida charm and views that are incredible. Holly was more than just the catering director, she was our wedding planner! She helped us make decisions and referred great vendors. She even stayed the later the day before our wedding to help us with the rehearsal.

At our taste testing, we asked if there was a way to do Cuban Sandwiches as an hors d'oeuvres which was not on their menu and the Executive Chef was so accommodating. They did the Cuban sandwiches and added a a Sundae bar to be served with our cake! They even had two other events happening at the same time as our wedding and you wouldn't have guessed from the level of service we received!

The Newport Beachside and their catering director Holly Pacheco was amazing during the entire wedding planning period up to our special day. I probably had about a hundred changes during the planning and Holly was more than happy to help me with them all, even the special requests. I had a third-party caterer for my Vietnamese wedding. Although she might take some days to repond to emails/phone calls, she does return them. She was very professional and extremely enthusiastic throughout the entire process. She is like a friend during the entire process. The Newport was very affordable, for us as well as for the guests. The the hotel was also very flexible with all my events, rehearsal, dinners, reception, third-party caterer, and my many changes, as mentioned. There was a little bit of chaos with serving the dinner for the reception, but I did have 8 courses (Vietnamese wedding) so I can't really fault them. Only 1 table missed 1 course. Even still, the banquet manager, Michael O'malley was wonderful at calming me down so I can enjoy both the Rehearsal Dinner and the Reception. No request was left undone. They both deserve honorable mention for the their hard work. The entire wedding was beautiful, and highly affordable. Looking at it, you would have thought that we spent 2x as much. Also, their open bar was not stingy at all, all the guests were very loose and there never was a line at the bar.

I highly recommend The Newport for your upcoming wedding if you want a beach wedding and a reception overlooking the ocean.

This place was GREAT! Tammy Malamud helped us with everything. My husband and I looked at many places on the water, in Monroe, Dade, Broward and Palm Beach county (intercoastal or ocean) and this place was beautiful and had EXCELLENT prices. It was also great to have it at a hotel because we had a lot of out of town guests. Even the guests that were local stayed the night. Your guests get discounted room rates. Viviana helped us with guest rooms. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue especially if you have always dreamed of a beach wedding.

We had our wedding at the Newport in April 2009. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating. Holly the coordinator was the best! The other banquet managers etc. went above and beyond even swapping wine that was more expensive and wasn't in our contract to make some of the guests happy. We came from out of town and the entire time I stayed at the Newport I felt like a rockstar! Our guests, however had some issues with rooms, check in etc. but didn't mind because the staff gave free rooms/breakfast etc to make up for the hassle. The ceremony on the beach was beautiful followed by the reception in the ocean front room. Everyone LOVED the waitstaff as well as the bartender who we had for the rehearsal the night prior as well as the wedding. The prices were also reasonable. Would definitely recommend this venue and might even go back on vacation in the near future. Fun time had by all!

We had an awesome wedding at the Newport! Our reception was in the Atlantis ballroom overlooking the pool area and ocean. Working with Holly and her banquet staff was great. They were very flexible and did everything they could to make our day magical. MANY of our guests complimented the delicious food and the "generous" bartender. We booked the venue after a long search and we are very happy with the value of service that was provided to us.

Holly Pacheco and the rest of the staff were awesome. We went through many changes through the course of our wedding planning and this crew was very patient and helpful. The reception food was latin style and very delicious, their premium open bar is very nice and the Tiffany Ballroom worked out very nicely with the colorful lighting we opted to have. We also had our ceremony at the beach, which worked out nicely (with the exception of some sunbathers lurking around). I recommend this resort for a destination wedding. It's a great value for the money and the service is impecable.

Did not honor contract agreements!!!

The Newport was a great location for a great price. The food was great and the location was ideal. The banquet hall is new and there is a great view of the ocean. We had many guests from out of town and they loved the resort. It was a great weekend getaway for all of our guests!

The entire staff at the Newport Hotel were extremely detail and service oriented. They paid close attention to making everyone feel welcomed. Compared to other vendors around the area, they were among the most affordable, especially given their location on the beach. The wedding came out beautifully. The only thing that could have been better:the chairs weren't setup outside on the beach until an hour before the ceremony, which left people scrambling at the last minute to decorate the ceremony site. This happened because the beach is public property so it could not be blocked off from the public, and there were still people on the beach. Overall, we are very happy and would definitely recommend this hotel.

Always great people to work with! I would highly consider!

The Newport Beachside Resort has really great views and the value is great! Plus, you will never meet anyone better to work with than Holly - she is with you every step of the way.
