The Colonial goes above and beyond for their weddings, and we seriously could not have chosen a better venue. They helped make our dream wedding a reality, and our guests still gush to us about how stellar the venue, food, decorations, and the whole night was. Mary, Emily, and Anna did such a fantastic job coordinating and hosting, handling every last detail, and they were so wonderful to work with. We fell in love with the Colonial on our first visit, and it was the best decision we ever made. There are so many wonderful spots for pictures, and the style was exactly what we were hoping for. The food is outstanding and they were so accommodating for any allergies or sensitivities, I truly love that they have a restaurant there as well not only so we can go back to enjoy the food again but also because it was so convenient to have literally everything you could need all in one location. The suites are stunning and huge, and our wedding party definitely enjoyed the sauna/pool/hot tub. They made sure everything was thought of and addressed, which took so much stress off our shoulders so we could instead just enjoy our special day. Truly, we can not thank them enough for how much care and thought they put into our wedding!

Pats Peak Banquet Center 

5.0

Henniker, NH
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,000

Pats Peak will enchant you with a romantic settings and affordable elegance. Personalized Service is what makes Pats Peak a favorite wedding location. Your scenic wedding ceremony can be held at the base or summit of the mountain. Select from two rustic rooms for your reception. Large, open decks face the mountain offering spectacular views and a picturesque backdrop for your special day. We have an amazing Wedding Package, or create a customized menu. We pride ourselves on the fact that our menu choices are handmade from scratch in-house by our Executive Chef.

First Zola review! The short and sweet review of this venue is that it was perfect. If it’s details you’re looking for, then we have those for you too. Prior to getting engaged, we had discussed what our ideal wedding day would look like and had both agreed that a mountain-top ceremony was what we both envisioned. For the moment we turned into the Pat’s Peak parking lot and saw the beautifully maintained grounds, rustic ski-village inspired buildings, and cozy lodge we had a feeling we had found our wedding venue. The wedding team at Pat’s Peak was incredible to work with, helping us through every single step and answering every question we threw their way. A huge standout to us as a couple was how accommodating they were of our requests and the level of personal touches we were permitted to do which made our day extra special. While it is of course important to hear what the bride and groom thought of the venue, an aspect we’d like to add to this review is what our guests thought. It’s been two weeks exactly since our wedding at Pat’s Peak and we’re still receiving non-stop compliments from our guests on the venue we chose. We opted for the summit ceremony and we will remember that chairlift ride and view from the top as we got married for the rest of our lives. The weather was perfect for us (which we know is not always the case) but a BIG reason we picked Pat’s Peak is because we liked the weather back up options that were provided to us. Our guests RAVED about the chairlift ride to the top for the ceremony and the scenic ride down for the reception. Special call out here for the lift operators who went above and beyond to be friendly and genuinely excited for our big day. As the bride and groom, we loved the ability to set up lawn games like giant Jenga and cornhole on the deck that provided the perfect environment for guests to enjoy a cocktail, mingle, and connect during cocktail hour and the reception. We opted for a buffet style meal, which provided more than enough food for our guest count of around 100. Everything from the apps, buffet dinner, s’mores bar and ice cream sundae bar was absolutely delicious. To wrap this review up, we’d like to call out Pat’s Peak staff including Brigid and Mary Beth. These two (including our bartenders, and the rest of the amazing staff) worked tirelessly in perfect coordination with our vendors to make sure our day was completely perfect and ran smoothly. We cannot thank them enough for all their help and hard work. Prior to our wedding, we had no connection or tie to Pat’s Peak but now, it will forever hold a special place in our hearts. If you’re considering Pat’s Peak and looking for a quaint, rustic, and inexplicably cozy wedding venue, we’ve found it.
