A garden wedding by the water: what a lovely combination! At Margate on Winnipesaukee, you can have your ceremony in an elegant Lakeside Pavilion, looking out over the pristine water of the lake’s Paugus Bay and beautiful landscaping. Continue the outdoor theme with a reception under a billowing tent on the lovely West Lawn. Or, go inside and dance and dine in the Main Ballroom, for up to 300 guests, or in the smaller Mariah Room, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the property and lake. End your big day with a fireworks display or bonfire on the beach, or with a party in the resort’s indoor pool, kept open just for you and your guests. Wedding coordinators will help make your day completely stress-free.

Picture this: Exchanging your wedding vows under a gorgeous floral arch, with sparkling lakes and sweeping mountains as the backdrop. Or, say your “I do’s” by a particularly pretty pond. For your reception, choose an elegant tented affair on the gorgeous grounds of the Steele Hill Resorts, where they have been hosting weddings, both grand and small, for over 40 years. Other venues include the Carriage House, which looks out over the resort’s 500 acres of natural beauty, or indoor rooms at the historic Main Inn. The experienced staff will help with all the details, starting with your vision for your menu, decor, rehearsal dinner, guest accommodations and more. They will help arrange for vendors from their curated list for photography, flowers and other services.
