Ochre Court

Ochre Court at Salve Regina University comprises three distinctive Gilded Age estates set along Newport's Cliff Walk, offering elegant venues for weddings and special celebrations. Built in 1892, Ochre Court is a French Gothic mansion featuring soaring turrets, stained-glass windows, and panoramic ocean views, accommodating up to 200 guests. The campus also includes McAuley Hall, a red sandstone estate overlooking the Cliff Walk with scenic terraces and lawns, and Young Building, a Queen Anne-style mansion on historic Bellevue Avenue with grand ballrooms and ornate gathering spaces. Each venue blends 19th-century architectural grandeur with modern comfort and amenities. The experienced events team provides comprehensive planning support, with packages including five-hour receptions, tables, chairs, setup and breakdown. Our Lady of Mercy Chapel on campus supports Catholic ceremonies. As Salve Regina University prioritizes its academic mission, a select number of weddings and events are hosted annually, and early inquiry is encouraged to secure dates.
