Ashworth by the Sea

ric beach strip, pictures were a breeze. The convertible ball room made for easy customization and planning, while the Ashworth staff showcased professionalism and warmth through the entire process. Eileen, the event coordinator and primary contact, was a dream to work with. She was responsive, diligent, patient, and personable, making us feel like the only couple she was working with. During the planning process, it felt as though there was no end to flexibility we were permitted. As a couple trying to accommodate two very different cultures (Eastern European and Chinese), we were apprehensive regarding the extent to which we could equally celebrate both cultures. Despite their minimal experience in preparing Asian cuisine, Eileen and the chef collaborated with us to create Chinese dinner recipes. They offered multiple tastings to ensure that they were prepping the entrees as traditionally as possible. Their remarkable effort to honor our families testifies to not only their professional dedication, but also their kind hearts. If you are looking to have a seamless planning experience and a beautiful, fun-filled wedding day, visit the Ashworth. Once you sit down with Eileen, you’ll see why we have endless praises for her and the staff!

the Sea. From the moment we walked in and met with Eileen we both knew this is where we wanted to get married. The food was amazing the service was top notch! I wish I could relieve the day over and over! You guys rock!!!!

pool. We loved the hotel and completely fell in love with Hampton Beach. Ever since then we go to Hampton and stay at the Ashworth at least once, if not several times a year. We even got engaged on Hampton Beach. The beach is beautiful. The boardwalk is fun. There are lots of great restaurants and pubs within walking distance. Fast forward to our engagement and trying to figure out where to host our wedding reception. We wanted something beautiful and special but also within a reasonable budget. We were beyond thrilled to see that the Ashworth, a place so near and dear to us, was within our budget. We started planning in the summer of 2018 and selected a date in September 2020 for our wedding. Unfortunately, in the spring of 2020 we realized that with Covid numbers climbing, we weren't comfortable planning an event for close to 100 guests for September and started the process to postpone. With that, I am SO thankful for the flexibility of the Ashworth and the patience of Eileen Menard, the Sales and Catering manager because we were able to reschedule to a date in May of 2021 without issue. Then, when we realized in February of 2021 that it still didn't seem safe to host our reception we worked with them to postpone again. Planning a wedding is SO stressful and so overwhelming. Working with a venue that is truly there to help you have the wedding of your dreams despite very unusual circumstances is a game changer. Eileen was there for us every step of the way. She responded to my many questions in a timely manner and offered suggestions on vendors and setup. Our wedding reception was absolutely beautiful. We had our ceremony right on the beach directly across from the hotel. We had the option of having our cocktail hour in the ballroom, the rose room or on the patio area between the two buildings. We opted for the ballroom so that our guests didn't have to move to a different location for the meal. We were on a tight budget so we opted for the buffet option. Our guests absolutely raved about the food. I found that our guests really liked having the buffet because it allowed them to eat as much as they wanted of what foods they liked and some guests went for seconds. We had two guests with serious food allergies/restrictions and Eileen arranged for special meals for those two guests without issue. Since our reception ended at 9:30 I wanted to have something for guests after. Eileen helped us to arrange a reserved area in the Breakers bar and some pre-ordered appetizers. We really felt like the Ashworth offered everything we wanted. We loved having our ceremony on the beach. We loved that the Ashworth is a hotel and therefore our guests could stay on site and not have to worry about transportation if they were drinking. We felt well taken care of by Eileen and the staff. We absolutely love the Ashworth and looking forward to going there for vacations or quick getaways.

ly gluten free dinner and cocktail hour menu that also accommodates several vegetarians (including me), while still keeping the non-gluten free and meat eating crowd happy so they won’t even notice (including the groom). This is not easy to do but all of the food at our tasting was absolutely delicious (steak, grilled asparagus, mashed potatoes, celebration salad, GF pasta primavera, and amazing appetizers like spinach and cheese stuffed mushrooms, bacon wrapped scallops, bruschetta, and raw veg spring rolls, and chocolate covered strawberries) . The ballroom is really beautiful and we are excited to have our wedding oceanfront. Pretty much everything I’ve asked about has been accommodated and in a super friendly way. Eileen is making sure our guests all have rooms near each other and she’s really just so super helpful with everything. The prices are great and our hotel room is included the night of our wedding as well. Although the hotel rooms could use some updates, the ballrooms and lobby are really pretty. And you’ve got the ocean right there! Couldn’t recommend this venue any more!
