Outdoor Wedding Ceremony Lawn
The open lawn is where ceremonies happen. Vows under an open sky, guests seated on the grass in white chairs.
Tented Wedding Reception
Perfect for dinner and dancing, the tent extends the property's open-air feel under cover. String lights, meal service, a dance floor, the tent is your space until the last song.
The Barn
The barn anchors the celebration. Cocktail hour before the ceremony or a late-night gathering after the reception - the barn is whatever your day needs it to be.

Catering & Bar Service
Catering
Our in-house kitchen offers a range of buffet menus -- Taco Bar, BBQ, Italian, and a Steak, Chicken & Lobster spread - along with a selection of appetizers. Prefer to bring in your own caterer? We welcome outside catering, subject to approval; vendors must carry a current food-service license and insurance.
Bar Service
We provide full-service indoor and outdoor bars, run as open (consumption-based), cash, or a hybrid of the two. We're happy to craft signature cocktails and will stock specific beer, wine, or liquor requests whenever available through the state, unlike venues that limit you to a fixed inventory. We also offer a non-alcoholic package (soda, lemonade, iced tea, plus hot coffee and tea), and complimentary iced-water stations are always included. Per New Hampshire licensing, all alcohol must be provided and served by Rockingham Country Club.
