Offering spectacular views of Newport Harbor, 18 acre Rose Island is the perfect backdrop to celebrate any occasion. Our knowledgeable staff will assist you in creating the atmosphere you desire for your memorable event.
Built in 1869, the lighthouse is just minutes away from the quaint colonial town of Newport, Rhode Island located on a small island set a mile into Narragansett Bay. Rose Island Lighthouse stands as an independent, energy-efficient building that was home to keepers and their families for over a hundred years. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Rose Island Lighthouse museum (restored circa 1912) offers a glimpse into turn-of-the-century lighthouse life first-hand. Your guests will marvel at the islands' natural beauty and take time out from the party to enjoy a guided tour of the Lighthouse and grounds.
