Intimate & Small Wedding Venues in New Hampshire's White Mountains (NH)

Only a countryside inn can provide that cozy, intimate aura you are seeking for your special, smaller wedding. At the Adair Country Inn and Restaurant, a classic colonial-style inn with views of the White Mountains, your ceremony can be held in an exquisite garden, by a gazebo and lily pond or in a charming restaurant, tea room, recreation den or deluxe fireplace room. A wedding planner and catering team will work with you on everything from delicious reception or cocktail-party menus to bouquets and idyllic sites for that perfect photograph. The inn’s Elopement Package includes a garden ceremony and sumptuous three-course meal. Honeymoon in a suite with a private balcony overlooking the mountains and explore this enchanting inn’s intricate gardens and walking paths together.

It’s true, the spectacular White Mountains backdrop at the Eagle Mountain House & Golf Course is big – but that doesn’t mean your small wedding can’t have a warm, intimate feel. Ceremony venues include the elegant hotel’s signature 280-foot wraparound veranda with breathtaking views, cozy event rooms in the grand hotel with fireplaces – even the picturesque third tee-box on the resort’s golf course, with mountain and river vistas. Have your reception in the charming Carriage House, in the Carter Notch Room with mountain views or in a private dining room or courtyard room. As a prime destination wedding location, the hotel offers a variety of on-site and nearby activities for your guests, from skiing and swimming to horse-drawn sleighs and biking and hiking trails.

Memories are made at the Woodstock Inn Brewery, where smaller weddings are particularly lovely. Have your ceremony or reception inside the welcoming inn or outside in a gorgeous garden looking out at the vistas so unique to the White Mountains. The inn specializes in New England family-style receptions and ceremonies, with delicious food (and hand-crafted and custom-labeled brews, of course). Photo opportunities – by the water, next to a pretty stone wall – are plentiful, and the dedicated staff is ready to help make your day worry-free. Overnight accommodations include 40 uniquely styled rooms and suites, including the Bridal Veil room, perfect for the wedding couple, with a private entrance, fireplace, whirlpool tub and private deck. Have your rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and after-party all in one picturesque location.

The Inn at Ellis River has big ideas for your small wedding. At this elegant inn, a special package for intimate weddings (up to 24 guests in the winter or 40 in the summer) includes a summer ceremony by a gazebo or the river, or, in the colder months, by a blazing fireplace or baby grand piano. The package includes two nights in the Bridal Veil Falls room with bouquet, boutonniere, cake, champagne and other treats. An elopement package also includes a candlelight dinner for two at a Jackson restaurant. Information for everything from a justice of the peace to a photographer is available. Or, have your ceremony at one of the village’s scenic sites (a covered bridge, a waterfall) and your reception at the inn.
