Bedford Inn - NH

A few people have recently mentioned this venue.  I'm planning to look into it soon...

Update - I visited the Bedford Village Inn a few months ago and loved it.  Really loved it for a fall wedding - it is beautifully decorated and perfect as the weather starts to turn.  My favorite part about the venue is that many guests can stay at the Inn.  Unfortunately, the Inn was a little too small for us (we are planning to have at least 220 guests as the invite list has over 300), but will certainly recommend it for anyone local that may be looking for that sort of country-chic vibe.

ENGAGED!

And ready to start the planning!  The ring is beautiful (more to come soon)!

Resuming Planning

After a longer than anticipated break from planning... I'm back at it.  The great news is that I'm moments away from being engaged as well (in the process of selecting the ring).  Aiming for either a fall 2012 date so really need to start devoting some attention!

Tavern 27 - A great Rehearsal Dinner Spot

I recently ate at Tavern 27 (on Parade Rd in Laconia).  I was truly impressed by the food (particularly for a NH establishment)!!  This would be an awesome spot for a rehearsal dinner - or at least to recommend that guests visit while in the area.

Gunstock Mountain Resort - Gilford, NH

This is one of my top choices so far.  More info to come soon!

Budget Venue Idea - Parks

I've been trying to research cheaper places to have weddings and have been reading a lot about public parks.  I actually went to a fabulous wedding at a park in CT - I can't remember the name right now.  I'm planning to look into this though!

Castle in the Clouds - Moultonborough, NH

This is a really special place.  Not only is it in the Lakes Region, but it is also perched up high with spectacular NH views.  When I was little, I went horseback riding with my mom here - I'll never forget it.  This makes me think that a wedding here would be unforgettable as well.  I couldn't get very much information off of the website - it appears that tours are necessary.  I guess I'll be doing one of those soon!
