Thank you for considering the Whittier House Restaurant for your upcoming wedding. We have two banquet rooms from which to choose.

The Main Dining Room is in the upstairs of our tastefully renovated barn, built in 1885. There is a large dance floor and a beautiful fieldstone fireplace. There is a full bar and the room has full wheelchair accessibility, including a private unisex restroom.  The barn has exposed beams and many windows that look out over the Ossipee Mountain Range, providing beautiful, soft lighting. This room is for weddings with a minimum of 40 guests, and will accommodate up to 200 guests. 

The Hobbs Room is a quaint Victorian dining room, part of the original Hobbs residence, also built at the turn of the century. This room has lace curtains hung over bow windows, and a hand carved fireplace mantel. This room is for weddings with 40 guests or less.

If you are interested in booking a room for your wedding, please call Amy or email at the address below. Once we have spoken or emailed, we will pencil you in for the date that interests you, and we will put you into our “pending” file. We will ask you to look over our menus online, or we will fax our menus to you. Should you decide to book your wedding here, we will require a non-refundable deposit of $350.00, which will be applied to your final bill. Once we have a deposit, the room will be yours for the date you have chosen, and we will schedule your consultation. 

The consultation usually takes approximately 1-1 ½ hours. We will discuss the floor plan, introduction of the wedding party, the toast, appetizers, meal choices and type of service, the bar, decorations, the timetable for the day of your wedding, as well as help in finding you a DJ, a Florist and a Bakery. On the day of your wedding, we will set the guest book, place cards, set up all table decorations, set up the wedding cake, assist with cake cutting, and meet and co-ordinate with the florist, photographer and DJ.  We will box all toasting glasses, cake service ware, guest books, the cake top, and extra wedding cake, in preparation for your departure.

The fee for consultation, all of the wedding planning and the hours worked on the wedding day will be $150.

We require the menu choices, including appetizers, entree, wine, toast, and dessert a minimum of two weeks prior to the wedding. If an item is available to us, we can add to your menu two days prior to your wedding.       

We require a final count for guests a minimum of ten days prior to the event. The final bill must be paid by cash, cashiers check, or credit card no later than 48 hours prior to the event.

Any additional guests will be billed on the day of the event.

All wedding receptions are booked for a four hour time period, commencing with the arrival of guests. If you would like to book additional hours, we require a 24 hour notice. The charge is $1.00 per guest per hour. This covers our cost for paying kitchen employees and servers, utilities and other costs associated with keeping the room open.           

For the safety of our guests, and adherence to our liability insurance policy, we do not allow any food or beverage to be brought into the building, nor do we allow any food to be taken out of the building. The only exception is wedding cake.

Confetti, glitter, rice, and bird seed are not allowed inside the building. Bird seed and bubbles are, however, permitted outside the building, at the conclusion of the reception. The cost to clean or repair any damage or unreasonable mess made by the guests of the reception will be billed to the person paying for the reception.

Any group that intends to consume alcohol in the main dining room will be required to use the bar upstairs. It is against the law for customers to transport any alcoholic beverage from one room to another. We adhere strictly to the laws set forth by the New Hampshire State Liquor Commission. No person under the age of 21 will be served. No person who is visibly intoxicated will be served.  There is no bar set up fee, provided that the bar sales are a minimum of $350.00.  Otherwise the set up fee is $50.00.

We offer a bottomless non-alcoholic beverage buffet for $2.25 per person.
