New Hampshire lodging guide
Updated
On-site lodging means your guests can stay overnight where you get married: a hotel room block, a few rooms at an inn, or a whole estate for the weekend, each with its own costs and booking rules. In New Hampshire, 17 of the venues we track have on-site lodging, and the biggest group is inns and lodges (12). They are most common in Monadnock & Lake Sunapee and the Lakes Region & White Mountains.
We've gathered details on 27 New Hampshire venues. Pick a starting point and Sage will rank them for your day, with cost estimates wherever the venue publishes its prices.
Counted only when a venue says guests can stay on the property; a hotel nearby doesn't count, and a venue that doesn't say is left out rather than guessed.

Read the lodging offer carefully
4 New Hampshire venues
Usually a room block: rooms held at a group rate that guests book themselves. Ask how many it holds, the booking deadline, and whether you pay for rooms nobody books.
In New Hampshire: Waterville Valley Resort, Bedford Village Inn and The Exeter Inn, among others.

Often enough for the wedding party and family, not everyone. Ask how many can sleep there; the party capacity says nothing about beds.
In New Hampshire: Aldworth Manor, Bedford Village Inn and Cardigan Lodge, among others.

Every room comes with the booking, often for a minimum number of nights. Ask the total cost, who pays for the rooms, and whether the rehearsal dinner or brunch is included.
In New Hampshire: Winthrop Carter House, Aldworth Manor and Cardigan Lodge, among others.
See venues where the whole property is yoursOnly 11 of the 17 New Hampshire venues with on-site lodging say how many guests can sleep there. Of those, 4 sleep 60 or more, enough for most of a 100-guest wedding. Some venues are more than one of these kinds, so the counts overlap.
How these venues differ
The 17 New Hampshire venues with on-site lodging against the 10 other venues, biggest difference first.
| Share that | These venues | Other venues |
|---|---|---|
| Have four or more separate event spaces | 71% | 30% |
| Give you the whole property | 71% | 30% |
| Price the space alone, before food | 65% | 40% |
| Provide a coordinator | 47% | 70% |
| Price the day as one all-inclusive package | 0% | 20% |
| Offer their own catering | 41% | 60% |
Each row counts only the venues that say; a venue that doesn't is left out of that row rather than counted as a no.
Where to look
The tick on each bar marks New Hampshire as a whole: 17 of 27 venues have on-site lodging (63%). Regions with fewer than five venues that say are left out.

In New Hampshire, venues with on-site lodging typically cost $26k for the venue and food for 100 guests, about the same as the $26k typical across the state.
These figures are for the wedding itself, the venue and the food. The lodging is almost always billed separately, to you or to each guest.

Sage the Date reads each venue's own published details, including pricing, catering and alcohol rules, music curfews, rain plans, whether you get the whole property, and how many guests each space holds. Every estimate uses your guest count. When a venue doesn't say, we tell you instead of guessing.
Before you book
Sage reads each venue's own published pricing and policies, puts different kinds of quotes on the same footing, and estimates the cost for 100 guests. A venue counts as having lodging only when its own published details say it has places to stay on the property. The costs are for the venue and the food only, never the lodging. If a venue doesn't say something, we treat it as a question to ask, not a no. Venues can't pay to appear or to rank higher here.
