Staying there

Hotel Recommendations

$$$$ - Newport Harbor Island Resort (0 min away; ceremony & reception)

$$ - Sonesta Select Newport Middletown (~10 min away)

*We were not able to reserve a room block for this occasion. We kindly ask that you make your own accommodation arrangements, or join the pre-booked AirBnbs.

**As it is Labor Day weekend and hotels may book up quickly, we encourage you to secure your lodging as early as possible.

AirBnBs, vrbo, etc.

If you have interest in coordinating with a group to book coordinated housing, use the spreadsheet here.

Other Recommendations

Stay Friday & Saturday in Providence/Kingstown/anywhere else in RI if you come early, and stay in Newport Sunday night (wedding day) to party late.

Gifts & Registry


The gift of your company is always enough. (Truly.) We can't wait to see you!

If you'd like to share a postcard from home, envelopes, or life advice, we will have a box at the reception. And for those still insistent, we also registered through WithJoy and CB2.

Q & A

Where did “wonton wedding” come from?

It's a portmanteau of our names --
WONg + LawTON + we’re having a wedding!
(No, we’re not changing our names to Wonton, but we thought it would be cute for this website URL.)


Why Newport?

Since moving to the Northeast, we've traveled down for countless anniversaries, day trips, and races together here.
We even celebrated one anniversary by this lighthouse! We hope you'll love Newport as much as we do!


Are formal invitations coming? When are RSVPs live?

Yes! When you’ve received a special gold and navy folder from us, that means your and your named guests' RSVP options are live.


When do I have to RSVP by?

We ask that you please RSVP at wonton.wedding/#rsvp by March 1, 2026, unless your invite says otherwise.
We understand that this date is well in advance just for the interest of planning. If you can’t commit either way by then, please send us a text/Whatsapp/Viber/email mich.and.ralph@gmail.com — we totally understand!


Can I bring a plus one?

Check your invitation! It has all the named guests in your party. (We're so sorry if we can't accomodate someone special to you at this time.)


What is a tea ceremony?

Michelle and Ralph will be hosting their parents and elders for high tea to symbolize the joining of families.
If you were named, check your invitation for more info.


What’s the schedule?
Will you have events the day before and after?
Parking? Hotels? Registry? Partiful?

We’re still finalizing the details! Check back soon!

Anything else?

Stay awhile. Open bar. Irish exits. Love you guys :)
