“This was just the most perfect and romantic place to host our wedding. Private and so much space for our guests, thank you we just loved everything!”
Wedding Venue in New Hampshire
Willoughby Ridge, a hill farm dating back to the 1800s, overlooks Squam Lake which was the site of the movie “On Golden Pond”. The barn, built in 1880, has recently been renovated with an eye to preserving the original structure and feel, but transforming it into a unique historic wedding barn in New Hampshire catering to rehearsal dinners, weddings and special events.
Located only four miles from the town of Holderness, our New England wedding venue looks out across a pond and green fields to the lake beyond and will comfortably accommodate up to 200 guests. A commercial kitchen beneath the main floor allows caterers space for preparation and easy access.
For couples wanting a larger wedding there is the possibility of adding a tent in the pebbled courtyard, or in the field by the barn. These spaces could also serve as picturesque locations for a ceremony, drinks and hors d’hoeuvres. Enjoy a glass of wine with a serene walk around the pond, revel in the sweeping landscape or look back at the Squam Range with the barn nestled beneath it.
With endless options, Willoughby Ridge Farm offers you an unforgettable backdrop for a day of your dreams.
Create a truly memorable event for the wedding couple and their guests. The location is beautiful and it is all yours without any other event to compete with you.
There is plenty of parking, and your caterer will love the fully fitted kitchen and space to organize the food. If you have been searching for the perfect New Hampshire Wedding venue then look no further.
So many options! You can hold the wedding at the farm or in the non-denominational chapel on Chocorua Island (otherwise known as Church Island) on Squam Lake.
Whether or not you are planning to host your wedding and reception at the Willoughby Ridge Farm, it is also an ideal location for your Rehearsal Dinner.
“This was the perfect venue for our fall ceremony and reception. What a
truly magical day with the ceremony overlooking the pond, nestled amongst
the hills, and followed by dinner and dancing in the beautifully restored
timber frame barn. We were so happy to share this special place with our
family and friends.”
