Venues & Event Spaces near Concord, NH

“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!”

“It is what you make it to be. This venue is effectively an empty furnished house with a venue attached to the back. While we thought we understood what that meant we learned throughout the process that there is a lot to do. Imagine fielding a football team without a coach or a quarterback. Eventually everything was done but through chaos not a plan.Overall, we had a spectacular wedding there for our daughter and fiancé and the venue worked well for us. We are local and took Thursday and Friday to setup for the Saturday wedding. Breakdown and cleanup took about six hours. Do not think you’re going to setup on Friday and have the rehearsal dinner that same night. On the day of the wedding the caterers need you out of the way. They do not have spare time to wait on you.So why the five-star rating? We have a large family and pulled this off through sheer force of will.During the reception we noticed several things that worked well.Having the dance floor split the seating made it the center of attention. There was very little of the “movie theater” effect (the people in the back fighting for a view).Having a fire running outside throughout meant that those who were suffering from sensory overload could slip outside to socialize before returning to the celebration. For the grumpy old men of the crowd this was a heaven-sent reprieve.We built a well-lit photo wall near the rear doors. This received far more traffic than we had guessed it would.The very concept of a venue where the bridal party stays onsite from Thursday to Sunday is very cool. It also meant that the bridal party could afford to be in the wedding. Three nights in a hotel during leaf peeping season is super costly.The groomsmen and bridal suite worked well (They need to add hooks to both for coat hangers).Its proximity to Concord meant that hotels were plentiful. We ran two twelve passenger vans to shuttle guests back and forth (Enterprise in Concord). We ran two to get people there and only one later in the night due to the staggered nature of when guests wanted to leave.In then end my daughter and her(now) husband had a picture-perfect wedding where everyone had a great time. The purpose of this review is to make sure future prospective couples understand: They can have the wedding of their dreams, but they are both creative director and labor. I would strongly recommend hiring a wedding coordinator for the day of to keep your timeline running smoothly. the venue provides one but they do not do much of anything.”
