Beautiful venue
We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful wedding day at The Hounds! The venue provided the perfect blend of charm and elegance, with the ceremony set against a stunning marsh backdrop—it was absolutely breathtaking. The nautical decor added a unique and cozy touch, perfectly complementing the natural beauty of the surroundings. Inside, the venue's hardwood floors added warmth and sophistication, while the bridal suite and groomsmen lounge were both comfortable and well-appointed, giving us a relaxing space to get ready. We felt so cared for, and our guests couldn't stop raving about how lovely everything was. Highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a picturesque, memorable wedding day!
Our wedding was perfect
The Hounds was the perfect wedding venue for our special day. From the moment we first reached out, the team was incredibly attentive, helpful, and enthusiastic in assisting us with every detail. Their beautiful, open space had a wonderful nautical, New Englandy feel that was exactly what we envisioned for our wedding. They were so accommodating and provided so much support and guidance throughout the planning process - making the entire experience easy and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to work with, and we're so grateful to The Hounds for helping to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. We used all of their recommended vendors who were also wonderful!
