Updated Oct 14, 202413 New Hampshire Wedding Venues You'll Be Obsessed With
From barns in the mountains to estates by the sea.
New Hampshire wedding venues know how to serve up rural beauty in the most elegant way—mountains, barns and farms are in full force in this New England state, offering stunning backdrops and scenery for your nuptials. But rustic wilderness isn't all New Hampshire has to offer; there are also polished country clubs, seaside estates and vineyards.
But considering that so many wedding venues in New Hampshire are outdoors, accounting for weather should be a top priority. Make sure to ask vendors if they have a backup plan in the form of tents or an indoor area in case of any inclement weather. Something else for your checklist: You'll want to note just how far your NH wedding venue is in driving distance from a nearby airport for out of town guests, since many are in more remote locations. And don't forget to take care of the legal stuff—you'll need to get your marriage license before you plan your NH wedding, which is also required if you want to change your name.
These stunning wedding places in NH are perfect for your happily ever after.
Wentworth by the Sea Country Club in Rye, New Hampshire
If you're looking for Portsmouth, NH, wedding venues, look no further than Wentworth by the Sea Country Club. Perched along the coast, this seaside escape is five minutes away from downtown Portsmouth and has a picture-perfect landscape for the timeless wedding of your dreams. Get married on the lawn with the blue harbor sparkling behind you—all you'll need is a floral arch to stand in as the altar. Celebrate in the garden tent or the Pavilion, which both hold up to 250 guests. The latter has over 4,000 square feet of space, a stone fireplace and cast iron chandeliers. And if you're having a summer wedding, you'll be able to open its bay windows to golf course views.
