About this venue

The first Common Man Restaurant opened in Ashland, NH in 1971. In the summer of ’72, we catered our first uncommon event. More than 50 years later, we offer 17 event venues in five locations across the state. We’ve catered to countless happy brides, local businesses, proud parents, raucous best men, bridesmaids, and delighted friends. We’ve planned perfect roasts, showers, BBQs, fundraisers, anniversaries, parties, dinners, and weddings. Our success is built on recognizing that your special event is just that, a special point in time. Our friendly, experienced catering team remains true to that understanding and is devoted to helping you realize exactly what you have in mind. We’ve renovated the event halls at The Common Man Inn & Spa in Plymouth and opened The Nest, a cozy event space at Common Man Ashland. We’re excited to host events at The Barn on the Pemi, our rustic event barn located in Plymouth, accommodating up to 300 guests with views of the mountains and Pemi river.

    Bride

    Working with the Common Man as the caterer for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. I have grown up eating at Common Man restaurants, so I knew the food was reliable but I had not been to an event catered by the CM. Tons of guests made remarks about how they appreciated the variety of options and that the food was quite delicious. Moreover, the price for CM catering felt more than reasonable. Alexis, the event manager, was tremendously helpful throughout the entire process. I can't recommend CM catering enough!!

    The Birches Wedding

    From the moment we inquired about hosting our wedding at The Common Man Inn & Spa, the staff was incredibly responsive, organized, and helpful throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views and a warm, inviting atmosphere that made all of our guests feel right at home. The team went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfectly executed, accommodating our every request to make sure the day was exactly how we envisioned it. We are so grateful to have celebrated our special day at this stunning venue, and would highly recommend The Common Man Inn & Spa to any couple looking for a truly memorable wedding experience.

    Getting ready for my wedding at the spa!

    My husband and I got married at the Barn on the Pemi on 5/31/24, which works closely with the Common Man Inn & Spa. We had our room block, rehearsal dinner, and after party at the Inn, but I'm here to rave about our experience with the Spa! After booking our venue, I spoke to the Inn about any accommodations or recommendations they might have for somewhere for myself and my bridesmaids to get ready the morning of the wedding. They actually have what they affectionately call the "Getting Ready Room," which can be reserved ahead of time. I saw some pictures, saw that the room had some nice natural light, floor to ceiling mirrors and salon chairs, so I figured it was our best bet. Come wedding week and I went down to the spa with my bridesmaid to see the room and the pictures definitely did not do it justice! The room is large with a sitting area with a couch, table and chairs in the middle and salon-style chairs and mirrors around the perimeter. Our hair and makeup stylists were THRILLED with the setup, since they are used to cramped, poorly-lit hotel rooms for wedding prep! I will let the pictures speak for themselves, but want to add one more thing. The night before the wedding, one of my nails (done at a salon back home) broke and popped off - nightmare! I kept the broken piece and brought it to the Spa the morning of the wedding to see if they could help. The Spa staff went above and beyond to make sure my nails looked perfect. One of their nail techs sat in front of my while I was having my makeup done, glued the nail piece back on, and put a top layer of the. white french tip and clear coat shellac over all of my nails to make sure they all looked the same. I would highly recommend the Spa Getting Ready Room for the morning of your wedding - the space and the staff are fantastic!

    Great wedding venue!

    I am a Justice of the Peace and have officiated weddings at the Common Man Inn & Spa for several years now. Some weddings have been large and some have been very small. Regardless of the size of the wedding they have always been great to work with. Communication is always top notch. I am always encouraging couples to check out the Common Man when they are beginning to search for their venue.
