Awarded Best of Zola
We had an amazing experience with the Barn at Union Lake Orchard! Karen and her family made the planning process easy from start to finish and were very accommodating the entire time. They provided us with plenty of equipment and furniture so that we would not have to rent from external sources, and gave us plenty of ideas for caterers, Djs and Florists that they have worked with before! The Barn and grounds were beautiful, clean and well maintained inside and out. We cannot recommend them enough for their beautiful venue and amazing customer care that makes you feel like family!

Cannot say enough amazing things about the Envio in Portsmouth, NH!!!! Katryn and her team made our dream wedding come true this past NYE. Clear communication, new and beautiful space, and no details missed. Guests raved about the food, friendliness of the staff, the hotel location right downtown Portsmouth. They think of everything and ensure the bride and groom are very well taken care. I cannot recommend this venue and wonderful team of staff more, from signing the contract to the food tasting to arrivals /departures we were supported every step. Thank you, Katryn and The Envio!! We had the best day xoxo K & D
