Venues & Event Spaces near Boscawen, NH

“Winthrop Carter House was our dream venue for our June 1 wedding. It checked every box we were looking for. A rustic-style barn? Check. Dog-friendly? Check. Beautiful grounds with lots of greenery and beautiful flowers? Check. A venue where we could stay for the weekend with our wedding party? We had the whole property from Thursday at 11am to Sunday at 3pm. And the attached farmhouse was extremely comfortable with plenty of room for both relaxing and getting ready. We were even able to host a goodbye breakfast on Sunday thanks to the kitchen with large central counter space, breakfast nook, and dining room table. Not to mention that interior decorating is perfect for photo backdrops. The antique mirrors and fainting couch were particular favorite elements!

The barn itself can come mostly decorated, although you have the choice on whether you want to use their decor or not. The faux trees, strings of lights, and white drapes hanging from the rustic beams brought so much life and texture to the overall look.

We had 120 guests, and while we probably could have fit dinner in the barn in addition to the dance floor, we thought it might be a tight squeeze. Luckily, there is plenty of space next to the barn to set up a tent/canopy, so we decided to do that for dinner and then have dancing and dessert inside the barn itself. That worked out perfectly and I think guests appreciated having the change in scenery, especially since the grounds are so beautifully maintained. And the fire pit out back was a huge hit, too!

There are also several ceremony sites to choose from, but we chose the one directly in front of a large slope filled with lots of natural greenery.

Katy and Colm were an absolute pleasure to work with, from the initial tour of the property to coordinating on the checking in and out protocol. It was all so easy and we are so thankful to have found the perfect place to host our wedding.”

“We did The Library with our two kids (11 and 8) and had a great time. Lots of good crunchy puzzles, lots of different and connected solutions. The staff were great, and we loved the surprise ending! Will be back for more rooms!”

“If you are looking for a unique location for a wedding venue in central NH, look no further than Kimball Jenkins! From the architecture of their buildings, to the indoor and outdoor art, to the fields and forest on the property, the space allows you to be creative. There are multiple buildings on the property to allow space for bridal parties to get ready. There is space for an outdoor tent and ceremony site. The staff are also generous and helpful. I can't wait to visit again!”

“New arcade is pretty cool. The theaters are big and clean. Good food. Tickets, food and arcade are very pricey. We spent $50 in the arcade and was only there for 15 minutes.”
