From the moment we found Black Swan Country Club on Zola, my husband and I knew this was where we wanted to have our big day. After touring and getting to know Donna, we were even more certain and booked a few days later. The experience was so smooth, the team are EXPERTS at putting on weddings and ensuring everything goes off without a hitch. As the bride, I of course wanted to micro-manage everything but I was able to relax knowing that Donna had it under control. We can honestly say we have no regrets from our wedding day, and that everything went according to plan. We were both able to lean back and enjoy the day (and even the planning process)!! We are so grateful to Black Swan Country Club and could not recommend them and their team enough. We also just received our wedding photos and they came out STUNNING with all of the scenery and ambience Black Swan offers in their space :)

Finding the perfect spot for our rehearsal dinner felt like searching for a hidden gem. We needed a venue that could comfortably hold 150 guests, offered a delicious menu, and had a charming atmosphere. Thankfully, our hunt led us to Portsmouth Gas Light's 3rd floor! From the moment we stepped into this beautiful downtown building (conveniently close to a parking garage!), we knew it was special. But what truly made the night unforgettable was Michelle, the Function Manager. Michelle was an absolute rockstar! She helped us navigate everything with ease, from handling dietary restrictions to selecting the perfect menu options and ensuring all our needs were met. The entire function team was professional and attentive, making the whole evening flow seamlessly. And let's not forget the food! It was incredible. Our guests raved about everything they tried.

I was a floral designer providing centerpieces for a baby shower held there last fall (2023), in the Phillips Room. My experience as a vendor there was great. The venue was immaculate and modern inside, with the classic New England charm and vibe. The staff could not have been more helpful. They helped me with load-in, and the setup people were friendly and efficient. The coordinator Linda was also friendly, professional and on top of all the many details for the event (food, drinks, balloons, florals, favors, etc.). The room was light and airy, with lots of windows and light. The neutral background would work for almost any color palette. It is a beautiful venue in a classic New England setting, and I highly recommend it!

Having our wedding at the Red Barn was the best decision we made. Everything else just fell into place and our coordinator Alex made all our visions come to life. The planning process was so easy, I feel like we just had to show up, enjoy our day, and get married! Alex was available to answer my questions for months before the wedding, we had a few phone calls to hash out details, and after our rehearsal, we felt so at ease and ready to enjoy ourselves for the weekend.

We had the most wonderful wedding experience at Wentworth by the Sea and could not recommend this venue to other couples enough. Catherine Chapman and her staff were professional, communicative, and had our best interests in mind right at the start, from working out all of the last-minute details to staying in touch in the weeks following our wedding. They worked to ensure all of our needs were met – from food allergies to necessary photo breaks – and when we had questions or needed a last-minute change in our plans, they did everything they could to go above and beyond our expectations. The biggest takeaway we heard from our guests was how amazing the food and beverages were, and we couldn't agree more. At cocktail hour, the hors d'oeuvres were passed frequently, the appetizer stations were a hit, and the bar staff was excellent at keeping the lines moving. At the reception, there wasn't a clean plate in the entire ballroom. We also appreciated that the venue had great recommendations for vendors. From flowers to rentals and a band that kept everyone on their feet, we felt that we had the best team to support us and make our day look and feel exactly how we imagined. We could not have pictured a more perfect way to celebrate our love, and the staff at Wentworth by the Sea made us feel like one-in-a-million!

We had the absolute joy of celebrating our wedding at The View at Pepperrell Cove, and it truly exceeded every one of our expectations. From the moment we stepped into the venue, we were swept away by the breathtaking ocean view. The space itself is beautifully intimate and welcoming, perfect for the close-knit celebration we dreamed of. One of the true highlights of our experience was the staff. Every single person was thoughtful, kind, and attentive—not just to our guests, but to us as a couple. They were always a step ahead, checking in, keeping the day flowing, and ensuring we were relaxed and cared for throughout. It genuinely felt like they were celebrating with us. We can’t say enough about Dionna, the event coordinator. She made the entire planning process so smooth and enjoyable. Communicating with her was effortless—she was always prompt, professional, and incredibly open to our ideas. We had a vision for the day that felt a bit outside the box, and she embraced it wholeheartedly, helping us bring it to life in a way that felt personal and magical. And the food—wow. We are still talking about it. One of the most special parts of this venue is the chance to work directly with their incredible chef, Eides, to craft a custom menu. We were able to incorporate some of our favorite flavors and dishes into a beautiful, cohesive meal that reflected who we are as a couple. Eides took everything we loved and elevated it into a culinary experience that was both unique and deeply meaningful. Sharing that with our closest family and friends was unforgettable. The location was also ideal—just minutes from Portsmouth, NH, which made it easy for out-of-town guests and gave us access to even more fun weekend activities. We truly can’t recommend The View at Pepperrell Cove enough. It’s a hidden gem that offers beauty, warmth, flexibility, and heart. We feel so lucky to have found it, and even luckier to have celebrated the best day of our lives there.

I had my eye on The Grove at Briar Barn Inn since it was simply a blueprint on an Instagram post. From the start, I knew it was going to be where I would get married someday. There is just something so quintessentially charming about the post and beam restaurant and the quaint New England Inn. The entire experience working with The Grove was great. We picked December 8th for not only the idea of a winter wedding but also for the holiday decor and availability for our preferred vendors. They were flexible in putting together the details and stuck to all the outlined dates and deadlines. We were assigned our wedding coordinator, Jeannine, about six weeks out as they said, and we were able to have our wedding details meeting soon after. The payment portal was easy to use, and the planning pod was intuitive and a great spot to keep important details in order. Jeannine answered all my questions promptly, and in the week leading up to the wedding, she was available for us to drop off all the decor ahead of time and spent time reviewing our vision one last time. On the day of, she was present, available, and helpful. She was detailed and organized and never pushy. She let us have our day and was there to help transition to the different elements seamlessly, paying attention to all the details so we wouldn't have to. Our guests have had only positive things to say about the entire day from the incredible food and the overall atmosphere. The only critique I have of the entire experience is the check-in process at the Inn. We had a 20 room block and ended up with 29 of the 30 rooms booked by our guests. The Inn has a very strict 2pm early check-in for 50 fee or 3pm otherwise check-in. We had a Sunday wedding in December where we had a first look and formal portraits at 2pm before a 4:00 ceremony because of the early sunset. We weren't able to stay Saturday night due to another wedding buy-out. The Grove accommodated me by making the hospitality suite available for us to get ready in; however, the Inn did not accommodate the groom getting ready. We rented out the Silo/Library for 250 to try to have a space for the men to get ready, but they didn't set up the privacy screen and there were too many people milling around for him to get changed in the non-private space. After a lot of inquiry from our wedding coordinator, our officiant, and our makeup artist, they finally let him into the room at 1:45 for the additional 50, but at that point it was only enough time for him to drop his phone and wallet. He ended up changing in the single stall bathroom in the basement of the Inn, which is a nice bathroom of course, but we would have liked a little more flexibility for us to have 1 room with early check-in to give him a bit more privacy. Flipping one room early for the bride and groom doesn't seem like a lot to ask in the grand scheme of the day or even offering some alternatives - we likely would have paid for a full extra night even if we couldn't get into the room the night before just to have the spot, but they didn't give us any options to work with until 1:45 p.m. ahead of 2pm call time. My recommendation for future couples is to negotiate into the wedding contract for something ahead of time if you could potentially run into the same issue, especially if you're out of towners who don't have other options nearby.

Hi; If you want authentic New England wedding, Four Winds Farm is it. We looked at a lot of places and there are some great ones, but nothing has the authenticity and variety that this venue has - the barn, the wood-paneled sun porch, the huge house on the hill, the giant maple tree, the gardens, the trails - you'll want to get married twice (to the same person of course) - the possibilities are endless. Its at the end of a dead end road on an old apple orchard so it feels really private. We stayed for the whole weekend and had people camp and stay if they wanted to - there's extra bedrooms for family or friends. It really felt like there was no one there but our wedding party, and we were encouraged to use the entire property (like I said there are trails and lots of beautiful places to explore and hang). It was seriously amazing, more than we could have imagined!

We were thrilled with Willowdale Estate as our wedding venue! Julia and her team were a joy to work with - communication was easy, efficient, warm and welcoming every step of the way. The estate itself is gorgeous, with colorful, elegant spaces full of character that made the perfect backdrop for our big day. They brought our vision to life and then some, handling every detail so that we didn't have to worry about a thing. The food was delicious and plentiful - guests are still raving about it!

I cannot say enough positive things about the Rosewood Country Inn as a wedding venue. This venue is special in that you get the entire 11-room inn for the weekend (Fri-Sun), and so we were able to have our closest friends and family staying with us, which was a blast! The inn offers a beautiful country setting on the outside that is perfect for an outdoor ceremony. We held ours at the gazebo in the courtyard, which was surrounded by beautiful trees and scenery that make for gorgeous pictures. The dining hall of the inn hosts the reception, and is perfect for an intimate and stylish dining experience that then morphs a dance floor! The food is excellent (Stan's stuffed french toast can't be missed), not only for the reception but the rehearsal dinner and breakfasts on Sat and Sun. Stan and Odo are extremely kind and gracious hosts, who let us make our wedding truly our own!

When my husband and I searched for the perfect wedding venue, we had only two "requirements". A water and mountain view. It's easy to say that Brewster's newly renovated Rogers Building fits the bill perfectly. As a graduate of Brewster, it was incredible to see this space take on a new form that is perfectly designed for an array of purposes and functions. The general aesthetic is modern and sleek but also allowed us to decorate and customize the space for our reception. Having a kitchen and bar steps away from the seating area allowed for easy access to food and drinks while still having room for 20 guest tables and a dance floor. There was plenty of space for our DJ with ample room for speakers, uplighting, and more. The service we received was stellar. The kind staff was friendly and helpful throughout the night and went above and beyond to provide a quality atmosphere and fantastic food to our guests. My husband and I were thrilled to be the first couple to use this space for their wedding reception. We highly recommend the Rogers Building to couples who are looking for beautiful views, friendly service, modern amenities, and competitive rates.

The catering was also exceptional. People are still bringing up the food at our wedding. And, working with the caterers was an exceptional experience, too. The variety of options was amazing, and the food was actually delicious. Everyone thought so! If I could change anything about Glen Magna, it would be to do it all over again!
