A Memorable Evening at OceanCliff: Celebrating “The Wedding People”

OceanCliff Hotel in Newport, RI, was the enchanting backdrop for an unforgettable evening as we hosted the book launch and cocktail party for The Wedding Peopleon August 7th. This bestselling book, which draws inspiration from the timeless elegance and charm of our very own venue, brought together guests for a night of celebration, conversation, and literary delight.

The event took place on the Upper Deck at OceanCliff, offering breathtaking views of Narragansett Bay. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the conversation between the author, Alison Espach and fellow author, Beatriz Williams. Attendees were captivated as she shared insights into the inspiration behind the novel, revealing how the grandeur and history of OceanCliff served as the perfect muse for her story.

As the evening came to a close, guests left with signed copies of the book, a deeper connection to the story, and memories of a beautiful night spent at OceanCliff. We were thrilled to have hosted such a wonderful event and look forward to many more evenings where literature, history, and hospitality come together to create something truly special.

OceanCliff has long been a place where stories unfold, and on this magical August evening, “The Wedding People” became a part of our own story. Here’s to many more chapters to come!
