Waterfront

The Gateway Center is a banquet hall on the shore of Lake Memphremagog in Newport, Vermont, with views across the water toward Owl's Head and the Canadian mainland. Glass doors along the building's north side open onto wraparound balconies, giving guests lake views right from the reception space. Operated by Newport Parks & Recreation, the Gateway Center comfortably holds up to 75 people and is available for rent year-round, making it a fit for business meetings, private parties, and other celebrations. Rental of the space includes use of the facility itself along with tables, chairs, and the on-site kitchen, which is equipped with two refrigerator/freezer units, a propane range, an electric stove and oven, and a stainless steel double sink. The Gateway Center is offered as a basic hall rental: linens, dishware, cutlery, and event staff or planners are not included, and renters arrange these separately.
