The Common Man Inn & Spa

usband and I got plenty of food during our cocktail hour and reception! Would definitely recommend them for any catering needs!

rfect! Our Event Manager and Wedding Coordinator, Kaitlyn, was a gem. When we met with her for the first time, it was literally like sitting down with an old friend. She was relatable and compassionate, and literally catered to our every request. She set the tone for our wedding and reception to go on without a single glitch. I have to mention Nicole as well, she worked alongside Kaitlyn and ensured the evening was unforgettable! Just to give you an idea of how well she took care of us, our send-off brunch was going to be at another venue. When we were unable to finalize that the WEEK BEFORE our wedding, Kaitlyn rallied with Rebecca (the GM at Foster's Boiler Room) to get it set up for us to have an amazing send off brunch, right there on site! They both literally saved the day. Speaking of Foster's... We had our after party there and it was the perfect end to the night! Rebecca was there to make sure everything went perfect, and the bartender working the event, Alyssa, was an absolute joy! If you are considering having an after party there.... don't second guess it for a moment! Now let's talk about the details! Special shout-outs to the Kitchen Team who provided us with an amazing dinner, and an amazing send -off brunch! I should mention here, that I have celiac disease, and not once was I concerned about cross contamination or being glutened on our wedding day. They took special notice to make sure I had everything our guests had and more! There were so many amazing staff members present, unfortunately I did not get everyone's names but, they were all wonderful! Seriously, we have not one complaint! The event lead, Bridget, was a ray of sunshine, and even personally made me a gluten free flatbread during the after party! The bartender at our reception, Taryn, was fabulous and never missed a beat, and believe me....our group kept her busy! The Inn itself was amazing, the front desk staff was friendly and more welcoming than anything I had ever experienced before, and Tom, the breakfast cook , was literally the highlight of our morning! If you are looking for a venue for your "Best Day Ever". You can find it right here!

were extremely efficient during our rehearsal dinner and reception, and the guests especially raved about the butternut squash ravioli! I very much appreciated that they served my husband and me first, and that I got a chance to sit down and actually eat my meal before dancing began. I loved how customizable their menu was, and I felt that we had the perfect balance of elegance, while still being filling. From start to finish, TCM is truly one of the best in the NH wedding business.

g lawn games which was a hit…I love the Common Man as it is just such a homey, warm an inviting place and our guests really had such a fun and relaxing evening. The food is always amazing at the Common Man, and they were very accommodating with some diet restrictions we had with our guests. Most all of our guests stayed that evening and all were very happy with the accommodations. The value, service and hospitality at the Common Man cannot be beat. Thank You to Kaitlyn and the rest of the staff whom helped make our special day memorable and run so smoothly!

ld I would get a room block of 10 rooms per hall- not told it would be spilt between one night and two night rentals. I needed ONE more two night rental to be able to have my whole bridal party at the venue for the rehearsal and getting ready. THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME ONE MORE. I even offered to pay for all the rooms I already had then and there since I had assigned them all already but no. I expressed that this would not work for me so they simply said fine well refund you... tried to make it work as I already had put deposit down on other vendors as well and they said I thought you wanted a refund so we are allowing that. I again asked to make it work....days went by no answer, no returned or answered phone calls. As soon as I said fine refund me I got an answer right away that it was refunded. All they care about is your money and not you. Would not even tell my worst enemy to get married here. My new venue said they have been hearing so many complaints about the inn and spa awful customer service lately.

e planning process, and the day of the wedding was completely stress free! She took our ideas and boxes of decorations and executed everything perfectly. The inn is cozy and comfortable and rustic, which is just what we wanted. It’s also affordable, while still offering amazing food. I’m still getting feedback from guests on how good the food was!

ers were amazing; they were holding a second wedding in the ballroom next to ours, and yet I never felt like they were spread too thin or weren’t giving my guests attention. Kali was an incredible asset to have, not only the day of, but in the wedding planning process as well. She always answered my email questions within a day and knew just when to tell me that we didn’t have to worry about something just yet! She was such a calming presence throughout the stress of planning the wedding. Besides having the reception at the Inn, we also used the spa for manicures and pedicures the day before; stayed in one of the suites, where the bridal party and I got ready the morning of; and had a few family members stay in the rooms as well. Everything was perfect! Every member of the staff was incredibly attentive and kind. I could not have asked for a better place to hold my wedding reception, and I highly recommend The Common Man Inn and Spa to anyone looking for a reception hall!

trying the food. On the wedding day, they seamlessly rolled out cocktail hour, the buffet meal, and our late night snacks without a hitch. Everyone raved about the food. Also, the bartenders and servers did an excellent job. Thank you Common Man!

job with the rehearsal dinner and wedding. The food was amazing and the rooms were perfect. The only reason we did not give 5 stars is because we were both disappointed in the performance of the sales manager Kali. Communication was lacking and we felt like we were treated as a number. We were told that there was a room block set aside for the wedding party but when we went up there a couple months before the wedding we learned that nothing was reserved for us and we had to do it ourselves. 2 weeks before the wedding we emailed Kali to setup our last meeting to finalize planning and payments and she emailed us back that she was "too busy". As a result, we went up to look at the event hall ourselves to figure out the floor plan. We had moved the barrier so we could look at floor space and Kali came in with another couple and treated us like trespassers and snapped at us for moving the barrier. The only other issue we had is there was a farmers meeting that was going on in the event hall 2 hours before our wedding. This caused us a lot of stress because nothing was set up until an hour and a half before the wedding and no one communicated this to us.

ime we met with her she was patient and took her time going over things with us. When it came to the day of the wedding- she was even more incredible! From the lay out and set up of Fosters Hall for our reception, to the fine details at the Greenhouse for our ceremony, everything was picture perfect! She was constantly zooming by making sure everything was going well, and all of our guests were taken care of. She even had a plate of appetizers at our sweetheart table for us to enjoy (which we greatly appreciated!). All of the food was so delicious. We had so many comments from our guests about how great all of the dishes were- especially the late night snacks! We could not recommend this venue enough! Our day was literally perfect. We are so excited to celebrate our future anniversaries at The Common Man!

ays quick to respond to emails and no question was to much! They made my wedding day so stress free by setting up the room and taking everything down so we could just enjoy the day, start to finish! The spa services at the Inn were the perfect touch to a one stop shop for any wedding day! Although it poured on our day, Kali and everyone else made it still go more smooth than I anticipated! It was a great wedding weekend! Most of our guests came Friday and stayed 2 nights, they all loved their rooms and what the Inn had to offer! Perfect spot for any wedding with a lot of town guests!

the Greenhouse. The Inn was amazing for my guests with all the amenities and the venue site was completely everything I could dream for. I would recommend the Common man for anything to anyone at this point. Spa, Inn, restaurant, shop... it has it all!

and creative, and the staff made sure we were fed even though we were busy mingling. For instance, they left a plate of appetizers on our table so we had a chance to try them during dinner. All of our guests commented on how delicious and fresh the food was. The catering staff was friendly, kind, and accommodating. We would definitely recommend their services to anyone planning a wedding!

Common Man's wedding venue. We were never asked for our permission to use the photo, nor was our photographer. They took the photo from his Facebook page. We were horrified that a company of their stature would be so cheap to steal a photo rather then use their own photographer and models. We were informed to send them an invoice, however they have decided to now ignor us, as well as our photographer who was also informed to send an invoice. So they realize they have done something wrong, but yet choose not to take responsibility for their wrongful actions. We are so disappointed they we chose this venue!

g the entire planning period, leading up to the event, and the day of the wedding. The location is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for an autumn wedding. The food -- whether it was for family dinners, our rehearsal dinner, our welcome reception, breakfasts, and our wedding reception dinner -- was all fresh and perfectly prepared and we couldn't have been happier with the food or the service! The bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable, and took great care of everyone. Most of our guests, including my husband and I, stayed at the inn during our wedding weekend. The rooms are spacious, kept very clean, decorated with cute and rustic themes, and just the right environment. The convenience of staying on location made everything very easy and accessible. My bridesmaids, the mothers, and I also utilized TCM's Spa services for my bachelorette party, and hair and make up for the wedding, and the service there was superb. Staff was so friendly and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. The treatments were amazing and the stylists made us feel beautiful. A big thank you to The Common Man Inn & Spa's staff members for making our wedding weekend perfect and the exactly what we dreamed it would be! We can't wait to go back on anniversaries to celebrate there!

uch more cost effective than other catering options and WAY better food!!! They went above and beyond to accommodate wanting to pick up linens early & to having specialty meals for a few of our guests with dietary restrictions. Such a pleasure to work with and will definitely use again for any other event with catering needs. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!

ved Fosters Hall. We were lucky enough to work with the events coordinator Kali. Kali was there every step of the way and made the wedding planning process so easy. She was such an amazing resource and answered every question I had. She helped in every step of the planning process and made sure the rehearsal dinner and wedding ran perfectly. The wedding party also used the Spa for their hair, makeup and nails and everyone looked beautiful! The staff at the spa made us so comfortable and we even were able to order drinks and lunch and have it brought to us as we were all getting dolled up. Also THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! We were blown away by the Common Man and are so happy we chose this venue. I can't recommend it enough! If you choose the Common Man as your venue it's impossible to be disappointed.

. Quick drive from Loon Mountain.

of us for sit-down dinner, so would keep that in mind if you want a lot of space to just mingle or have a buffet line. Another plus, it was within my budget ($40 per person, including food/tip/wine only/tax).

try club or hotel that fit into our price range. When we saw the venue in person, it was more than we could have ever asked for. We chose to get married on the lawn out back and had the reception inside the greenhouse. The greenhouse is an amazing alternative to a tent- You have the feeling of being outside, but the elements don’t matter as much and it looks absolutely gorgeous, both day and night. Our coordinator, Sara, was fabulous and helped us plan every detail. And, as anyone who has eaten at a Common Man restaurant in NH before would know, the food was incredible! There are no tastings available, but don’t fret- simply dine at any of the Common Man restaurants and you will know how good the food is. All of the servers and bartenders were courteous, polite, and attentive- one of the bartenders even drove our bridesmaids and groomsmen back to the Inn when our shuttle (from another vendor) failed them! The Inn itself provided exceptional rooms for many of our family members and bridal party, and we booked the Cabin in the Woods- a little pricey, but absolutely worth every cent. Brides and grooms- do yourself a favor and book the cabin on Sunday night, too if you’re wedding is on Saturday night; you will not regret being able to have a little bit of alone time after all the people you were just with! My ONLY negative experience was with the people who worked in the spa booking hair appointments for my bridesmaids and myself. It seems as though our original appointments never made it into the system, and when I finally received a confirmation email (many weeks later), the times were nothing like what I thought I had booked. Two phone calls later and everything was finally resolved. Was a little irritated by it, but thankfully it was easily fixed. All in all, this is an absolutely outstanding venue and I would recommend it to any bride and groom!

g as well as organizing the C-Man staff! She even made sure I got a piece of cake to take with us to our suite. As for the rest of the C-man services they were also terrific. They started off with a cocktail hour, which they set up with out a problem. When my husband and I arrived at the venue everything was flowing with out a hitch, the set up looked amazing people were loving the spread of cheeses and Mediterranean finger food. Then when we arrived they started passing out the hot appetizers, they made sure to find my husband and I to make sure we got some as well. Then on cue they had the champaign ready on trays for the guests and handed it out with a smile. All of the waitstaff was amazing, so friendly, so professional, and on top of things. I used to work as a waitress in catering, and I can say that the servers working were really top notch and would hire any of them again. Especially the bartender who did an amazing job, it was just wine and beer with shots, but she made sure guests were happy and kept on-top of guest who may have partied a bit too much. Since our wedding was in a barn, we went for a BBQ buffet fare, which at first glance doesn't sound that amazing. But sometimes when things are simple and done right it comes out great. The steak tips were perfectly cooked, the salmon was moist, and the mac and cheese was such a success that people are still raving to me about it! To me food was a priority at my wedding, cause nothing is worse then bad food, and I can honestly say that the Common Man was well worth it, and I would hire them again for future events, and would recommend them to family and friends.
