About Us

We are very proud to offer this location as one of Newport’s premier waterfront locations, able to accommodate from 50-500 guests, depending on the event.

I am pleased that you are interested in the Harborside Grand Ballroom as a possible venue for your upcoming event.

As one of the owners of Harborside, I am proud to present this package to you from our Banquet Department, which consists of two banquet managers and our own banquet chef.

Since 1905, this building has been a symbol of Newport Beach. In 1968 it was designated as both a State and National Historic Landmark, which is the highest honor a building can receive. In 2004, the entire facility was remodeled, including the restaurant, as we continue the tradition of this distinguished venue, known for its famous cupola and 1500 night lights.

We are very proud to offer this location as one of Newport’s premier waterfront locations, able to accommodate from 50-500 guests, depending on the event. We offer affordable prices, fabulous food, full bar, premium wines, friendly service and the best views of Newport Harbor.

The Grand Ballroom consists of one large room, or it can be divided into two separate rooms for smaller events. We specialize in wedding receptions and ceremonies, bar/bat Mitzvahs, birthdays, cocktail parties, corporate meetings or dinners, reunions, anniversaries, high school or college functions, awards dinners, educational seminars, holiday celebrations, winemaker dinners, memorial services and even dance classes.

I hope you will consider our beautiful venue. If there is anything I can do for you beyond one of my exceptional banquet managers, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly. I hope your event will be one you remember for many years to follow and we are all here to make that happen.

Sincerely,
David Salisbury
Proprietor
