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 venue for your upcoming event.

As one of the owners of Harborside, I am proud to present this package to you. We have a team of experienced banquet managers, chefs and staff that will guide you through the questions and process of planning your event.

Since 1905, this building has been a symbol of Newport Beach, known for its famous cupola and hundreds of building lights. 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 banquet facility and the restaurant were purchased by the Salisbury family to continue the local tradition of this distinguished venue.

Harborside is one of Newport’s premier banquet facilities which accommodates between 100-500 guests. We offer very competitive 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. We specialize in wedding receptions and ceremonies, bar/bat mitzvahs, birthdays, cocktail parties, charities, fund raisers, 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, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m sure your event will be one you will remember for many years to follow, and we are all here to make that happen.

Sincerely,
David Salisbury
