What a first build could look like in Newport
Envision a Newport luxury event catering and sailcloth tent rental company coordinating rehearsal dinners, traditional clambakes and waterfront wedding receptions across Aquidneck Island, Goat Island and Jamestown. We would build an interactive guest count and rental package estimator, an AI receptionist to answer out of state bride and planner questions at night, and crew load in checklists with venue layout diagrams.
