A 1704 inn and a timber-frame barn
The Barn hosts ceremonies and receptions for up to 250 guests across two floors, with wood beams, a grand staircase and chandeliers. The property also has a speakeasy-style lounge called The Cave for after-parties, private rooms in the Red Lion Tavern for a farewell brunch, the Hillside House for rehearsal dinners, and 15 inn rooms including a bridal suite.
The Red Lion team makes a whole wedding weekend feel easy, from the rehearsal dinner to the last song in the barn.
Move Mountains Co. has photographed and filmed weddings across Newport, Boston and beyond for 10 years. We're a preferred vendor at 100+ New England venues, a ten-time The Knot Best of Weddings winner and a member of The Knot Hall of Fame.
Best photo spots at The Red Lion Inn
The Barn
Golden wood, a grand staircase and a balcony make every entrance a moment. Jack + Madison made theirs with a dip at the foot of the stairs while the bridesmaids cheered.
The dance floor
Wide wood floors under the chandeliers, with plenty of room once the whole barn is dancing.
The bar
Dark wood and warm light set up a champagne tower or a quiet toast before the party.
The red staircase
Deep red walls and a narrow stair make bold, romantic portraits.
The garden lawn
Spring trees and white clapboard around the property give soft, natural portraits.
Cohasset Village
The village common and the coast are minutes away for portraits or a beach ceremony.
