Attention Conference Planners!

The Astors' Beechwood Mansion is proud to offer opportunities for your guests to enjoy the lifestyle the Astors brought to Newport.

Ideas to consider include:

Victorian Aristocrats
What could make a better impression on your guests than to be greeted by friends and family of the Mrs. Astor, queen of American society? The Beechwood Theatre Company will take your guests back to the year 1891 where they will be treated as members of American high society. Your event will be filled with the elegance and charm of the Gilded Age as your guests interact with famous characters of the era.

R.M.S. Titanic— Before the Tragedy
The year is 1911 and Colonel John Jacob Astor IV (Jack) and Madeleine Talmadge Force have just been married at Beechwood. They have invited a few friends from Newport society to celebrate their nuptials and will soon depart on a prolonged honeymoon to Europe... (more)

Great Gatsby— Before the Crash
Prohibition is in effect, yet this joint is jumpin’! All you need are the actors to complete the atmosphere. Bring the copasetic qualities of the Roaring Twenties to your event. Personalities such as song writer Cole Porter; author F. Scott Fitzgerald and his eccentric wife Zelda; and American hero Charles Lindbergh bring zest to any special event. Make the head of your company smile as these zany characters set the tone for your corporate soiree. Even more fun...you can have the Keystone Kops raid the party at the end of the night as a unique closure to your fun-filled evening!

Paparazzi— What a Welcome!
Cameras, film crews, and reporters trying to get the scoop on what’s going on at the mansion!
