Moffatt-Ladd House and Garden

The Moffatt-Ladd House & Garden is a beautiful venue. The garden is incredible and the barn is perfect for dancing. Marsha was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. She was great to work with. I highly recommend this venue.

The museum is in the middle of downtown Portsmouth and one would never know such a gorgeous garden is tucked away in the back of the historic mansion. It really is such a beautiful spot and so romantic. The house is a museum and so their main purpose is to give tours and educate visitors, but weddings help support their mission. You have to bring in caterers, florists, a tent, chairs, tables, linens, etc., which is a lot to coordinate so if you want a one-stop-shop type of venue, this isn't for you. However, if you want a unique, memorable wedding venue--this is definitely it! The space really lends itself well to weddings with several different spots for each part of the wedding. An upper garden overlooking the space (and a small glimpse of the water), a tent fits well in the lower garden for dinner, and the barn is a perfect spot for dancing. I really felt like I could utilize the entire space and our guests kept telling us how perfect the spot was--one of the most beautiful weddings they'd been to!
