Aaron and Madison were absolutely amazing hosts and the Lemont Hall was a stunning venue! Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the space. The Lemont Team was there for anything we needed leading up to and on our special day, they provided chairs, tables, a sound system, and two awesome bar tenders (Aaron & Madison). They really helped to create a magical and stress free day, I couldn’t be more thankful for them.

Union Bluff Meeting House was the picture-perfect venue for our wedding! The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the charm of York and the Short Sands beach area gave the whole day a nostalgic, small beach-town feel that we loved. From start to finish, the venue was incredibly organized and easy to work with, thanks to our amazing wedding coordinator, Annie Dalton. Annie is an absolute SUPERSTAR! She is so organized, on top of her game, and made everything run so smoothly. If there were any issues during the day, we still have no clue because she handled everything so seamlessly. Annie guided us through the entire day without ever being overbearing. She thought of every little detail—even when we went to collect our wedding cards at the end of the reception, she saw me carrying dessert and flowers to the bridal suite and immediately joked, "Lizzie, you're all set." She had already placed my bouquet in water, wrapped up our cake, and even prepared a dessert spread for us. Truly unreal! Leading up to the wedding, Annie was super responsive over email, which made us feel so comfortable and confident going into the weekend. I cannot recommend Union Bluff Meeting House enough—it’s a stunning venue—but honestly, Annie made the experience unforgettable. She is simply the best, and any couple would be lucky to have her on their team!

We cannot say enough about how incredible Foster’s was for our wedding. We held our reception in the Pavilion Room, and it was absolutely perfect. The room provided ample space for all of our guests to dine comfortably and dance the night away, with high ceilings and a rustic, elegant vibe that wasn’t overly beachy—exactly what we were looking for. The two beautiful fireplaces on either side of the room added a cozy touch to the ambiance. Our ceremony took place on their gorgeous lawn, framed by a stunning tree line and a picturesque pond complete with a fountain. The arbor made for a breathtaking backdrop as we exchanged our vows under the open sky. It felt like something out of a dream. A special shout-out to Roxanne, our day-of coordinator, who truly made our day flawless. From helping us select appetizers, meals, and bar service, to setting up an ambiance that wowed both us and our guests, she was with us every step of the way. Her attention to detail and calming presence were invaluable, and she ensured that the entire day ran smoothly, handling everything we needed—and things we didn’t even realize we needed—with grace and professionalism. Speaking of food, the catering was beyond amazing. We chose the beef tenderloin with bordelaise sauce and Atlantic grilled salmon, and both were cooked to perfection. The meatball appetizers were an absolute highlight—people are still talking about them! What’s more, the food was surprisingly affordable for the high quality. Foster’s and their incredible team curated the most memorable experience of a lifetime for us. We will forever sing their praises. Thank you for making our special day everything we dreamed of and more!

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. We highly recommend Portsmouth Gas Light for any event. If you're looking for a place with charm, delicious food, and amazing staff, look no further! They truly helped us create an unforgettable rehearsal dinner.

We got married at the Envio on May 6 after 1.5 years of planning. The coordinator, Katryn, is amazing at her job and made everything easy to understand along the way. In our opinion the Envio is a great value for the area. All of our guests enjoyed their stay at the hotel, as well as the wedding itself from the contemporary design of the event space to the food and beverage!
