We had the most perfect wedding day at the Herb Lyceum. When we got engaged we knew we wanted a smaller, more intimate wedding and struggled to find a venue that welcomed smaller events. I came across The Herb Lyceum on Instagram and knew that this was the space for us. We held our wedding in the sunken garden, cocktail hour on the lawn and dinner in the greenhouse. The space was magical. They have a beautiful bar and cocktail hour set up. The greenhouse was exactly how we envisioned our day to look like. We received several comments that our wedding had the best food and cocktails of any wedding guests had been to. We are so grateful to the Herb Lyceum team for making our day so special. Tavis was so helpful, responsive, organized and calm during the process, she made planning the event so easy. I couldn't recommend the Herb Lyceum enough, it really is a special place.

Harrington Farm was truly our dream venue, and they exceeded every expectation! From the start, their team was responsive, organized, and incredibly professional, making the entire planning process feel seamless. It was immediately clear that they are experienced professionals who know exactly how to execute a streamlined wedding day. We had the pleasure of working with Jess and Lindsey, who were both wonderful throughout the process. Lindsey, our day-of coordinator, was attentive, supportive, and full of thoughtful guidance that made us feel completely confident leading up to our wedding day. Becca, our attendant, was phenomenal. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and created such a relaxing atmosphere. Because everything was handled so professionally, we were truly able to stay present and enjoy every moment of the day. Although we were married in early April before the spring blooms arrived, the property was still absolutely stunning. The grounds were beautifully maintained and picturesque, even without full foliage. One of the most complimented parts of our wedding was the food. The seasonal menu offered so many great options and their tasting event was incredibly helpful—not only for selecting menu items, but also for providing insight into vendor recommendations and table design options. The Smoked Brisket and Garden Pesto Pasta were particular favorites among our guests and received countless compliments throughout the evening. We also appreciated how accommodating Harrington Farm was with our needs and budget. The extensive planning resources they provide, along with their recommended vendor list, made the entire experience feel organized and manageable from start to finish. Every member of the team was professional, warm, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day special. We are so grateful we chose Harrington Farm as our venue and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-organized, and exceptional wedding experience.

I cannot recommend Four Winds Farm enough. Not only was our wedding perfect and unforgettable, but the whole weekend was so truly special. Ian and Bri went above and beyond to make our wedding dreams come true with such care and ease. Every single inch of Four Winds is gorgeous, you’ll have a hard time choosing where you want it all to happen! We also really appreciated the history and character of the barn, we barely had to decorate as the space was filled with memorabilia and fun details. It’s really the coolest spot. As we come up on our first anniversary, we’re wishing we could go back and relive it all!

While my husband and I didn't get married at Milliken Manor, we had the pleasure of working with Kristen and Blackwater Events for our wedding in November 2025. It was an absolute joy to work with her from Day 1. She took every wish on our wishlist and made it a reality. She coordinated a "bouquet-making station" for me and my bridesmaids and created a timeline that maximized dancing for the guests. She pulled off a Chipotle dinner buffet that my husband thought was only a pipe dream (and even made it "upscale" enough to please my mother). Last but certainly not least, she somehow got my dad excited about the planning process and navigated family dynamics like a saint. If I had it to do all over again, it would certainly be with Kristen - and this time at Milliken Manor!

Harrisville, NH
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $16,000

In 2011 we purchased an old dairy farm in a quiet corner of Harrisville, New Hampshire. We cleared fields, planted orchards and gardens, built barns and a commercial kitchen, boiled maple syrup, raised pigs and sheep, and opened a farm store. Our goal was to create a thriving farm that would serve our family, the community, and visitors like you. Today, that dream is a reality. Mayfair Farm offers a complete special events package that is truly unique. With our inspiring views, welcoming barn, and farm-to-table menu, your family and friends will share a one-of-a-kind experience. Our menu is hand-crafted and ethically produced, and each item is made with the most important ingredient—love. And, as our client, you will enjoy the benefits of flexibility and collaboration as we guide you through each step of the event-planning process. If you can think it up, we would love to help you make it happen. We look forward to sharing our farm with you! Sarah Heffron and Craig Thompson

To find a wedding venue that is as picture perfect, serene, elegant, and magnifies the beauty of New Hampshire all in one place is rare, but this is exactly what Mayfair Farm has achieved. My husband and I were lucky enough to have been married at Mayfair Farm in August 2024. From the very beginning, Mayfair Farm spoke volumes to us as not only does the entire venue represent our home state of NH, but their focus on farm-to-table food sold us in a heartbeat. As two foodies, my husband and I could not get over how unique of an experience it was to help curate our wedding menu based off of Sarah and Craig’s farm and to morph our food to fit our own food-loving wants. Sarah and Craig are a wonderful duo and to have been able to work with Sarah and her incredible team was a treat. They provided effortless class and taste throughout our rehearsal dinner and entire wedding day. Sarah and her team are easy to communicate with and provided excellent insight to any questions that arose throughout the wedding planning process. My husband and I cannot speak highly enough of Mayfair Farm!

The chef was helpful and understanding of a couple of our picky eaters, both him and Halley worked with us to make sure everyone had something to eat that they like.

We were so pleased with our amazing experience at Fern Hill Barn!! Every member of the team was consistently working throughout the day to make things run smoothly and help take any pressure or stress off us as the bride and groom. We experienced a very aggressive pop up thunderstorm right as our outdoor ceremony was supposed to take place, and I have never seen a team take action like they did. Carly kept me posted on the forecast and when we were forced to move inside, the team was at attention, putting up the sides of the tent, moving florals, and keeping everything pristine for the tent ceremony. Joanne, our banquet captain, helped me with any and everything that day - from adjusting my veil and dress, to calming my nerves about the storm, and even making sure we had our first congratulatory drinks once we were married. I cannot thank everyone enough, and we will surely be recommending our venue for years to come. All our guests were so pleased and so complimentary of the food, the cake, the friendliness of all staff, and the overall atmosphere. THANK YOU FERN HILL BARN TEAM!!

Our wedding at Field to Fork Farm felt like something out of a dream. Patrick and Daniela poured so much heart and soul into every detail — and when the skies suddenly opened up just as our ceremony was about to begin, they didn’t hesitate for a second. They welcomed all 75 of our guests into their home, offering warm homemade bread and cheese as we waited for the storm to pass. What could have been a moment of chaos instead became one of the most beautiful memories of our entire day — laughter and comfort shared in their cozy kitchen as rain fell softly outside. When the clouds finally cleared, we stepped out into the field to have the outdoor ceremony we had envisioned all along. The air felt fresh and full of magic, and from that moment on, the night unfolded perfectly — dancing, joy, and love all around us beneath the glow of the tent lights. Patrick and Daniela’s kindness, warmth, and grace made our day what it was — not just a wedding, but a feeling we’ll carry with us forever. If we could do it all over again, we’d choose Field to Fork Farm a thousand times over. It was everything we dreamed of, and more.

My wife & I had the privilege to get married surrounded by our friends & family at the beautiful Montague Retreat Center in June of 2024. There’s a seemingly endless list of what drew us to MRC, but some key features to highlight: - Incredibly beautiful indoor & outdoor spaces - Comfortable, spacious, and accessible on-site lodging options - Flexible weekend buyout, enabling us to bring all of our ideas to life without much restriction or hurdles - Wheelhouse Catering: some of the best wedding food we’ve ever tasted in our lives - All of Montague staff, especially Jason Jason deserves his own dedicated review, but from the planning stages all the way through until the end of our weekend, Jason made himself available and ready to help. Jason referred several our vendors that made our day go off without a hitch, all of whom brought creative and personal touches that made our day so special. He consistently went above and beyond day of as well, from catching decorations that needed to be put out, to being hands-on assisting guests that needed extra help, and facilitating vendors to ensure everything was in its right place. His knowledge and general presence brought a calming energy that really helped us feel at home at MRC. For our wedding weekend (170 guests), we really took advantage of all we could at MRC. We observed first hand and heard from guests after our wedding that they felt they had plenty of space to enjoy themselves comfortably through the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. With the full weekend rented, we used every square inch that the venue offered: - Friday: Portable Brick Oven Pizza in front of the Great Hall - Saturday AM: family provided breakfast buffet near the dining tent - Ceremony: Outdoor up on the ceremony ring - Cocktail Hour: Custom Poetry and plenty of activities all around the barn - Reception: Live band with stage lighting & sound; DJ later in the evening - Saturday Night: Late night fire pit & snacks for the wedding party - Sunday AM: Bagel sandwiches from Tandem Bagel in the lower level of the barn We can’t stress enough how perfect our weekend was at MRC. Montague Retreat Center will always hold a special place in our hearts, as it left a lasting impact on not only us, but our friends and family as well. At the end of our wedding weekend, many of our family members suggested that we rent out the space for a night every few years for a recurring big family bash. We may have to do just that!

Where do we begin?! We first learned about the barn when we golfed at Blackstone National (before we were even engaged) and thought was a pretty sight. When the time came to consider a venue, we thought about the pretty sight of the Barn and booked a tour through Zola. The moment we stepped into the barn during our initial tour, my eyes (bride here) immediately swelled up because I KNEW this was going to be our venue. We were paired with Alyson as our wedding coordinator and let me say WHAT AN ABSOLUTE ANGEL AND ROCKSTAR she is. The planning process was very transparent and easy. Alyson was very responsive to emails, and made changes as needed. She was extremely supportive of our decisions and was quick to make changes to our online forum via email. We met in person about 3 times and she truly made us feel that our wedding day was about US and encouraged us to make decisions on what we liked and what worked for us. We are also not the "micro-managing" type and gave her free rein to make decoration details/changes (arranging our photos or signs to where she thought it would be best) the day of. Wedding day: We had the luck of having rain on our wedding day which was fine considering we had a "backup" option of the pavilion for our ceremony instead of using it for cocktail hour. And GOOD GOD it was still so beautiful! I'm glad we were able to develop a good relationship with Alyson, because it was easy to trust her and let her take care of all the last minute changes with our ceremony being moved from into covered pavilion. With the rain, we were of course nervous and unsure of what to expect and Alyson was cool, calm and collected. She brought just such great positivity and made the day so much better. #goodvibesonly The staff members were so great in moving chairs/items around quickly, quietly and efficiently. Even having assistance moving bridal things from the Putnam room to the bridal suite in the Barn was seamless. Food: 12/10 - could not get enough of it!! So many of our guests told us how AMAZING the food was (several guests told us it was the best wedding food they've ever had) and all our deserts were gone!! We also really appreciate that appetizers were brought to us in our bridal suite and to our table after cocktail hour for us (the couple) to enjoy. Most people say they never get a chance to eat at their wedding - not us! Alyson made sure we were taken care of with food and drinks. Overall experience: 100000/10, would highly recommend. Literally ZERO regrets. For reference, we got married on Columbus Day weekend 2025 :)

We had the privilege of being the first wedding at Retreat Farm and they knocked it out of the park. The venue itself was gorgeous and the scenery was absolutely perfect for our fall wedding. The new barn was beautifully done and spacious enough for all of our guests. Sam and Jen were the dream team when it came to preparing for the day in advance and for taking the stress off my shoulders the day of. I went into my day prepared to be bombarded with questions and stressed with scheduling but Sam and Jen handled everything for us. I cannot express for grateful I am to have found this wonderful venue and for the support and positivity that came from the staff. Also huge shoutout to Pete the bartender everyone loved you!! If you’re looking for a beautiful spot to get married or have any event look no further. Thank you guys for everything you did to make our special day even more special!

Weatherhead Hollow is a historic Vermont farmstead created for unhurried wedding weekends. Exchange vows beneath an ancient maple tree, gather for cocktails and lawn games in the barnyard, and celebrate in a restored bank barn – a rare Vermont design built into the hillside.

We host just 12 weddings each year (May–October), each reserved as a private, three-night experience. Your stay includes on-site accommodations for up to 12 guests, along with full access to the barn and grounds. Weatherhead Hollow is best suited for couples who value time, flexibility, and ease – and who want the freedom to shape their celebration at their own pace. Outside of weddings, the farmstead offers fully funded artist residencies — a commitment to beauty, care, and craft reflected throughout the property.

Katherine and Daniel's Weatherhead Hollow is a magical Vermont wedding venue. Their direct and caring communication style made planning our big day a breeze. The venue was clean, beautiful, and oozed New England charm with its rustic barns and sweeping mountain views.

We had our wedding at Scott Farm Orchard and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Suzanne was responsive to emails and made planning so easy that we actually got to enjoy the process instead of stressing about it. The property itself is stunning with so many different backdrops and settings for photos and the ceremony, which gave us tons of options to make the day feel uniquely ours. On the day of, the team was seamless—Noa kept the bar running smoothly, Betsy made sure all our guests felt welcomed and knew where to go, and everyone worked together like they'd done this a hundred times before. We were also thrilled to have access to the Landmark Trust historic buildings nearby for our family to stay in; those beautiful old buildings were the perfect touch and so convenient to the venue.

We truly could not have asked for a better wedding venue. We booked well in advance, which meant I had plenty of questions throughout the planning process. Every single time I reached out, the team was quick to respond, helpful, and incredibly patient. From day one, it was obvious that they genuinely cared about making our wedding everything we wanted it to be. On the wedding day, Ariana was our coordinator, and she was absolutely amazing. She was always nearby making sure Chris and I had everything we needed and checking in to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Every time I turned around, someone from the venue was asking if they could get us anything or help in some way. It made us feel so taken care of throughout the entire day. Erin handled our design details and was wonderful to work with. There were a few last-minute adjustments I wanted made, and she handled them quickly and seamlessly. Everything looked exactly how I had envisioned it. One thing that really stood out was how experienced and organized the entire team was. They clearly know weddings inside and out. They kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes so we could focus on enjoying the day. The food was absolutely incredible. We attended a tasting beforehand, which was such a fun experience, and somehow the wedding-day meal was even better. Guests are still talking about how amazing the food was. The drinks were equally impressive. We chose signature cocktails based solely on ideas we liked and trusted the venue to bring them to life, and they absolutely nailed it. We received compliments on them all night long. I was initially a little nervous about the venue hosting multiple weddings on the same day, but that concern completely disappeared once we experienced it firsthand. Our ceremony and reception felt completely separate and private. Once we left the ceremony space, we were in our own building and focused entirely on our celebration. I didn’t even see the other bride all day. It never felt crowded or shared, and it certainly didn’t take away from the experience. Another unexpected bonus was the surrounding area. There are so many beautiful lake houses and Airbnbs nearby, which made it easy for our friends and family to stay close and turn the wedding into a full weekend experience. The venue itself is stunning, the food and drinks are incredible, and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. We had the best day of our lives, and a huge part of that is because of the team that made it all happen. We cannot recommend them highly enough.
