The Wolfeboro Inn

ccommodating and flexible but most of all Guen knocked it out of the park. She made our planning stress free. Was very organized and understood exactly what we wanted. The day of the wedding she ensured that the only thing we worried about was getting to the altar and having fun. I would highly recommend for any couple to consider the Wolfeboro Inn. They are the literal definition of the dream team when it comes to weddings.

dding coordinator Guen! Throughout the planning of the wedding Guen was always just a phone call away to help with putting together all of the details that we had pictured for our special day. Her expertise and passion for wedding planning allowed for us to have a wedding that we could never have even dreamed of ! In addition to all of the support and help in planning, Guen and her team ensured that in the days leading up to the big day and the wedding day itself could be stress free and a celebration for not only us, but our friends and family as well. Weddings can be stressful and overwhelming , but Guen and her team made every moment a pleasure. We were able to enjoy the property such as the beach and even boating with their available dock slip that allowed for the days leading up to the big day to be relaxing. Additionally, the Inn is dog friendly which allowed for our furry friend to be included in the ceremony and celebrations ! We could not have asked for a more supportive and experienced coordinator and team! Our wedding was everything and more !

you are looking to get married near the lake, this is the venue to go with. We will continue to come back to the inn! Thank you Guen for the best experience and taking care of us and our guests!

inning to end, no detail was spared. Guen is upbeat and supportive and helpful...she clearly loves her job! What would normally be an extremely stressful event for any bride, our experience was 100% stress free thanks to Guen and her team at the Wolfeboro Inn! From the beautiful grounds to an amazing reception with the best food and atmosphere we couldn't have asked for anything better!

-minute detail and the bartenders and waiting staff was outstanding as well. We are very excited to go back and thank everyone in person.

guests were already milling about in the spacious lobby playing the boards games that were set up while lounging in the cozy arm chairs. Everyone looked comfortable and was at ease due to the nature of the friendly desk assistants which set our weekend off on a great note! Our rooms were the bridal and groom suites and both were spacious and decorated in a way that felt a touch of home. Each room I was in felt unique and was decorated in a unique way which was a touch we really enjoyed, as did our guests! We had the pleasure of eating a meal prepared by the staff for our rehearsal dinner in the gorgeous 1812 room that looked out over Lake Winnipesaukee! All of our wedding party enjoyed the meal of lasagna, pasta in a cream sauce, fresh salad, as well as other dishes. There was something for everyone and it was all perfect! (I would know because I tried everything!) It was all finished with a perfectly sweet treat of fresh cannolis! We were able to enjoy breakfast from the Tavern, a gem in this inn. A large portion of our guests could not stop gushing over the fresh made breakfasts and the rustic elegance of Wolfe’s Tavern, the eatery attached to the Inn! Of course the wedding day was a complete success as well. From the bridal suite, I watched Guen and her expert staff prepare the tables with my centerpieces, and other decor items I had brought. My card box was missing so Guen was a quick problem solver and found a perfectly wood stained apple crate to match my other decor. She wrapped it with twinkle lights and surprise, perfect card box (honestly better than the one I forgot!) Guen was such a rockstar for this entire weekend. Ryan and I never felt an ounce of stress due to Guen’s ability to prepare for every single event. I swear she is the one who made the rain stop minutes before I walked down the aisle. She was prepared and knowledgeable about all things wedding ceremony, including pacing and who walked down first and on what side is the bride typically! She was prepared with reminders to keep hands out of pockets (looking at you gentlemen!) and sent one server specifically to the wedding party with hor dourves so we could partake in the eating during pictures still! She was instrumental in organizing all of my vendors and letting them know where to go and what they were able to do during the event! Our guests commented on how friendly her staff was from the front office to the bartenders and servers. We cannot thank them enough for the love they showed our puppy, Harley, as well. The front desk staff even offered to take him for a walk so no one from the wedding party would be bothered during the wedding! If that is not top notch service, I’m not sure what is! Our groomsman, Joe, had attended 11 previous weddings as a groomsman prior to our wedding and stated Guen and her team had put on the best wedding he had ever seen. He could not stop gushing about how well everything went thanks to her team. My maid of honor, Jess, who is an event planner herself down in Georgia, has also written a review of the inn because she was so impressed by the entire weekend. We highly recommend this establishment and it’s staff for your wedding or even a weekend getaway! Thank you Guen and Wolfeboro Inn!

ccommodating, responsive and hands on.  Every unique request we had, she did it!  The staff at the Inn was wonderful and attentive and our bartender, Ed, was outstanding.  Guen took all of the guess work and stressful moments in stride and our day turned out wonderful with all of our guests extremely pleased – especially us! We had so many wonderful compliments from our family and friends. We would highly recommend the Wolfeboro Inn.

ing recommendations for our party. The location is perfect, and the room itself worked perfect for our group of 70 or so. I highly recommend the Wolfeboro Inn, and working with Guen!

ekend with our wedding party and booked the dinner here as well. It made the whole experience that much more relaxing. It was an exciting energy and less of a frenzied energy that most brides feel.

ons for your big day given your personal style. My husband and I planned our wedding weekend from California and Guen and her team did an amazing job of answering all of our questions and accommodating us given the distance. From our rehearsal lunch on the Winni Belle, ceremony by the gazebo and reception under the tent, to the after party and brunch in the 1812 Room the next day, we could not have asked for anything more! The food was delicious and I loved that there are various options for dinner during your reception. We chose the "Small Plates" option which offered guests a variety of stations rather than a standard buffet or seated dinner. Everything went so smoothly from start to finish and that's exactly what you want on your wedding day. I'm so glad we chose The Wolfeboro Inn and highly recommend Guen and the entire staff!

d saw her walking through the venue - three hours after she was scheduled to go home! She was responsive, caring, thoughtful, extremely nice and genuinely seemed excited for us. All couples are sad when their wedding is over for many reasons, but one of ours is definitely that we won't be able to talk to Guen every day! Tiana and the Banquet Staff were INCREDIBLE. They were prompt, friendly and professional. We were very, very happy with everything!

enough!

our nerves! We had a lot of moving pieces including a reception on the Winni Belle (which I cannot recommend more!) and with Guen’s help, everything was flawless. She coordinated with outside vendors and helped to make our vision the best day of our lives! Thank you Guen and the team at The Wolfeboro Inn!

it didn't affect our wedding at all (which was my biggest nightmare in the weeks building up to the big day.) We have eaten a lot at The Inn so knew the food would be amazing, but it really exceeded expectations. All guests were more than happy. I feel like the contact with The Venue/Guen was great throughout and she coordinated with our exterior vendors in the week before to make sure everything was as planned. For example on the day of, I had forgotten to print my speech, Guen was there to print it out. All the staff seemed to go above and beyond for us and our guests and it really was the best day of my life thanks to The Wolfeboro Inn.

Kerr (Events Manager at the Wolfeboro Inn). She was both extremely friendly and very professional. Guen met our every need and the whole thing went perfectly. The food, wine, and bar were outstanding! We then spent the night in the Honeymoon Suite at the Wolfeboro Inn and that too was an extremely memorable night. So hats off to them for providing us with a wedding neither of us will ever forget!

, responsive, and took care of pretty much everything. I don’t know how she does it, but she did an amazing job. There was never a line at the bar because the bartenders were so quick and everyone complimented the food at the reception (we had boneless short ribs and stuffed chicken). This was the perfect place for us to get married, there's not one thing I would have changed.

lines were appropriate, and the day came together flawlessly. We hadn't met Guen until the night before the wedding since we live far away, but she was very warm, comforting, and professional. We had 145 guests in a tent on Memorial Day weekend. It rained for part of the reception but they had umbrellas for the short transit from the tent to the hotel. We couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out.

times. I love Guen, she jumped in and didn’t miss a beat – she answered every one of my questions and helped organize and plan our wedding with our vision in mind; she was thoughtful and thought of things before we even mentioned them! She kept things on track and made sure things ran smoothly throughout the night! The food was amazing with so many wonderful choices! – we were able to get food that fit our style and budget; I cannot say enough things about Guen, and everyone at the Woleboro Inn.

was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect! Definitely recommend!

f taking a 2 hour cruise around the lake on the Winni Belle, amazing, mini wedding! The food and service on the boat was great, we brought our own speaker system and got everyone dancing upstairs on the boat! For the reception we had 150 people under the tent. Great location and food was good. Wedding planning process was a little aggravating as I went through 4 wedding coordinators and everytime there was a new one I didn't find out until I made the call, I would have assumed when one left they would good their clients a heads up that a new coordinator would be working with them. Erin did a great job in the last weeks of planning and day of. Other staff was very polite and helpful.

us, location on the lake is perfect. They don't make you share your day with anyone else!

ly minimum we were informed about after several communications with the staff at the inn. Lucy (who had given the tour) recently left her position, and Laura took over. Laura did not inform us of any other minimums with the exception of food (and only because we had brought it up) up until the day we were ready to sign the contract. We were then informed there was a minimum on specifically alcoholic beverages of $3,000.00 (before tax and service charges) and if we did not meet that minimum we would be charged for the remainder. This wouldn’t have been a huge issue, but it was nowhere on the packet we were first given or mentioned prior to that day. When we talked to the manager about our concerns, she was unapologetic. The staff we encountered after Lucy left was in general disappointing. It often felt like we were inconveniencing them with asking basic questions via email about the venue, and at times it took over a week for a response. In conclusion, this venue took out the excitement of wedding planning for us and made us feel like an inconvenience. We ended up choosing a different waterfront property for summer 2018 with a very nice, accommodating staff! I wouldn’t recommend working with Wolfeboro Inn, at least under this wedding planning staff.

way by the beautiful rustic elegance of the inn. We selected our venue and began working with the wonderful event staff there. Lucy and Laura, the two event managers at the inn, are an absolute pleasure to work with. They are enthusiastic, kind, helpful, and incredibly talented at what they do in making events successful. This past weekend was our wedding and it was amazing. The event went off without a hitch. The food was amazing, the rooms were beautiful and clean, the staff and service was above and beyond what you could get anywhere. After the wedding, my wife and I stayed for a few days for a mini honeymoon of sorts and I'm so glad we did. It was like being at a home away from home. It was so relaxing and so nice to be surrounded by such wonderful people (the staff) in such a nice and comfortable inn. And I will say, if you have thought about a winter wedding...do it and have it at the Wolfeboro Inn. Then stay for a few days afterwards to relax and unwind. I HIGHLY recommend it. I cannot thank or praise the Wolfeboro Inn enough. Shout outs to: Lucy, Laura, Susie, Francine, Rachel, Cindy, Debbie, Gracie, Aaron, Josh, and the list goes on, but those are just some of the wonderful people my wife and I had the pleasure of meeting and working with during prior to our wedding, while we were there, after our stay, or some mixture of the above. 5 Stars to the Wolfeboro Inn! :)

e customer service- the respect to at least email or respond to the call would have been considerate... this is not a place you want to waste your time on when your planning an incredibly important event.

re was a major staff change, which made the process a bit tougher in the weeks leading to my wedding. But we started working with Lucy and she was great! Unfortunately it rained on our wedding day so the ceremony had to be moved inside, but it was absolutely flawless. I would definitely recommend Wolfeboro Inn - it's a beautiful setting with a great staff!

, the tables, chairs and linens were gorgeous, and they took care of setting everything up on the day of the wedding. It was breathtaking! Nicole was always easy to get in touch with and very responsive; she’s a pleasure to work with and will guide you through every step of the process with patience and a smile! Jumping into wedding details can be overwhelming, but Nicole was very knowledgeable in the industry and she was a great resource when we had questions! We really appreciated that a lot of things were included in the base wedding packages for the reception and the food was delicious, everyone raved about it at the wedding! We had our ceremony down by the water, which was gorgeous, I can’t believe how great the photos look with the lake in the background. Everyone had a great time – we took the Belle out for a sunset cruise the Friday before the wedding, and our guests loved hanging out at the Inn on the wedding day and exploring the town! We held the after party in the Wolfe’s Tavern, which was convenient since plenty of guests were staying at the Inn! We got married in June, and 2 ½ months later, people are still telling us what an amazing time they had and that it was the best wedding they’ve been too besides their own! Get married here, you won’t regret it!!

not get frustrated with my emails of question after question, there is something to be said for that. :) She made planning our rehearsal dinner/ceremony/reception from 1900 miles away very smooth. Because of her services I would highly recommend this venue for an event in the future. With that being sad, our weekend was not exactly perfect at the Inn. Overall, the ceremony and reception were great. The staff was friendly and efficient and everyone had a great time. During the rehearsal dinner, we were given a projector that did not have sound, so that was a bit of a pain to fix but luckily we had a guest who was experienced with things of such nature. At the Wolfe's Tavern after the reception we had a poor experience with the manager on duty which was unfortunate and left an overall bad taste in our mouths to the venue as a whole. This is true of many of our guests also, which again is unfortunate because it all could have been avoided. Understandably the Inn has a job to do and this matter has since been discussed, but it still is a lingering topic that is being discussed three months after our big day and that is very disappointing. Because of this treatment I would still recommend the Inn but I would look elsewhere for your after party events or at least request ahead of time to be told who is on staff that night. I am happy to share the specific name of the manager if anyone has apprehensions, just thought it best not to post it on here. That being said the location is great, the views of the lake are beautiful and the hotel itself is nice to stay at. The food was great, service aside from the one person was great, and overall we did have a positive experience at this venue and look forward to visiting in the future.

sional, welcoming, and helpful. Our wedding was more than a dream come true - the rehearsal went smoothly, the ceremony was flawless, and the reception exceeded all of our expectations. Nicole and the entire staff did an excellent job at making sure everything and everyone were taken well care of. We can't thank you enough, Nicole & The Wolfeboro Inn, for making our dreams come true on our wedding day!

ng in my food." Wolfeboro Inn really treated me like a bride and helped make my wedding perfect. They treated me as well as if I were to have a 200 person wedding which I really appreciated. The staff was attentive and friendly. The cost was affordable and the food was AMAZING.

and so did our guests. I can't say enough good things about them. I highly recommend the Wolfeboro Inn. They made our day very special! Thank you Nicole for a fabulous wedding!

he Wolfeboro Inn made everything so easy for me. They are experienced and professional, but still manage to be kind and joyful, in spite of my nervous moments and probably too many phone calls! Nicole has the sweetest spirit and handled every request with honesty and in a timely manner. My daughter had a short engagement and, as a result, under the tent outside of the Inn was not available for the reception (it was already reserved) so we had the downstairs ballroom. I was worried a second wedding at the same location might mean less attention for our event, and, frankly, the downstairs ballroom is not that impressive when it's empty. However, I grew up spending summers on Lake Winnipesaukee and knew the Wolfeboro Inn to be the premier resort in the area, so we went with the downstairs room. We could not have been happier! We booked the Winnepesaukee Belle for a cocktail reception following the ceremony in a beautiful, old New England church (First Christian -- directly across the street from the Inn). The Belle is owned by the Inn and easily held our group of approx. 120. Everyone loved the sunset cruise on the lake before dinner. Following the cruise, we all walked one block up the street from the docks to the Inn. (The docks and the Lake were beautiful backdrops for photos.) The ballroom was lovely, thanks to an area florist (Dandelions) and the staff at the the Inn. I dropped all our decorations off after the bridal luncheon on Friday (also at the Inn) and depended on Nicole to get everything right. She did! Down to the last candle on the mantle over the fireplace next to the bar outside the ballroom. I did not have to do one thing or make one decision during the evening. Everything was perfect! Most of our guests were from out of town (Texas) and they are still talking about my daughter's wedding. The setting was spectacular, and the details were all handled by Nicole and the staff at the Wolfeboro Inn. Many of our guests stayed at the Inn and loved the accommodations. All the rooms are different from one another. As an aside, Jimmy Fallon hangs out at the very cool bar that is inside the Inn when he is in town. I will say our per person cost was not inexpensive (approx. $150), but you get what you pay for. Also, the ballroom was the perfect size with 120 guests plus a dance floor -- we had a deejay, as a band would have taken up too much space. However, we did have a buffet dinner, which also took up space. We rented special linens and chiavari chairs through a company the Inn uses, but paid for the rental in our final Inn bill. It was nice not having to work out the details with a separate vendor. The Wolfeboro Inn was wonderful for our event -- so easy to work with, but very detail oriented. They handled everything beautifully!

ing different for the reception, different is what I got... The crew on the boat had no idea what they were doing. The did not communicate with the DJ, to let him know when to announce us. They didn't have the Champagne ready for the toast and ended up handing it out at dinner. The food was not good (tasted much better at the food tasting). The short ribs were prepared like beef stew. I had requested that they have separate meals for the kids, which they forgot to get. Also, They served dinner on plastic plates, they had cloth napkins with plastic cutlery inside.. I was expecting to get more for the money I spent.. If I were to do it again, I would have purchased tents and has the reception at the inn.

because it was perfect the way it was. The food was the highlight, - we had a buffet with haddock, chicken marsala, and prime rib- AMAZING! There is so much detail at the wolfeboro inn its incredible. Then we got their Boat that fits approx 120 people to go out on the lake that night from 7-9. Needless to say this was the highlight of the day. Although we were very budget driven, they were able to create the best wedding for us. Our guests had the best time and wished it never ended. I never thought I could have such a great wedding but they did it.

at came up that needed attention that worked with us to come up with a plan that worked best for US - ALWAYS. Even at times that I'm sure it probably cost them something to take care of, that wanted to make sure our day was as stress free and just as we imagined it to be. I couldn't recommend them more. The venue is peaceful and beautiful, inside and outdoors. The food is fantastic and the staff in amazing! I felt relaxed and trusted that everything was in place at ceremony time. The Belle for unbelievable and so perfect for a relaxed fun event that we were looking for. Downstairs people hung out to chat, and upstairs turned into dancing! When we did our First Dance at Sunset the captain even asked what side of the boat we wanted the sunset on and moved it into place! If that's not incredible service, I don't know what is! (The Belle's bathrooms were also remarkably good size for a boat - plenty of room for me and my wedding gown.) From the planning process to the moment we stepped off the Belle at the end of the night everything was just delightful! Thank you for making this a night we'll always remember without any regrets! (I should also mention that we started planning the wedding in late February for a late June wedding date! And there were about 70 people in attendance.)

dealing with weddings. I had asked if I could bring stuff for smores for my guests to use at the firepits and she said that was not a problem. Not only did she put the stuff out for me it was also set up and presented so nice. It was a big hit with my guests. Some of the things that made the Wolfeboro Inn stand out was the beautiful backdrop. We had our rehearsal dinner on the Winnepesaukee Belle and I would highly recommend that! We had our wedding ceremony outside in front of the garden gazebo and our reception under the tent. Having an outside wedding was very important to us. We had the buffet and the food was excellent. Another personal touch that we thought was great was when we went back to our room at the end of the night there was a tray of food and champagne waiting for us. In addition to the food and drink there was a picture of us right after we got married already in a frame along with a gift certificate for a one night stay for our one year anniversary. It was a nice personal touch at the end of our day! There were a few things that didn't seem to go as planned. There was a mix up with my husbands hotel room the night before the wedding so he ended up without a room, luckily his family had rented a house nearby that he could stay at. My husbands parents table was not placed where we had put it on the diagram and they ended up behind other tables when they were supposed to be close to us right on the dance floor. And the last thing was with the buffet. There was only one buffet line for over 160 people, which made it seem like some people had to wait a lot longer then others to eat and one of the last tables to be called up was my husbands parents and grandparents table, I feel like they should have been called up in the beginning. Overall I would still highly recommended this venue and Paula!! The few mix ups were only noticed by us and we didn't let it ruin our day. We would like to thank the Wolfeboro Inn and their staff for a day we will never forget!

l. Paula - the wedding coordinator is the whole reason my wedding was what it was. I will never forget the fairytale wedding that took place at this inn!
