Saturday evening we attended the wedding and reception at Church Landing. Everything was perfect. All of the events started on time and the 120 guests couldn't have had a better time. On Sunday we attended a brunch at Lago. That event was also a great fun! We have never been to entire weekend wedding before. It was very exciting!

Congratulations RW and family!!!

Congratulations! Nice to see Mame's get in on the action

I am worried about all the backstreet businesses now that Abondante has gone under.

Thank you for your notes of congratulations! Mames truly out-did themselves for our son's groom's dinner on Friday night, followed by an amazing wedding and reception/dinner at Church Landing on Saturday. A note about Church Landing. One of our guests was not feeling well and without hesitation the Church Landing staff provided a room for her and said that she could stay as long as necessary, even overnight, as a gesture of courtesy. What extraordinary service we received from them! The Sunday brunch at Lagos was delicious and enjoyed by all of our guests. All in all, an A+++ weekend... and the weather even cooperated. We were concerned when planning the wedding that no one would want to travel to New Hampshire in mid-January, but surprise of all surprises, friends and family came from all over the country.

Thanks for the info. Our son is getting married at Church Landing next November and we're looking forward to a memorable experience. We had not considered Mame's for the grooms dinner but will look into it after the positive post about it. ANy other suggestions would be appreciated. Glad to hear that guests will travel to Meredith NH in the "off season".

I always stay at one of the Inns at Mill Falls when I come up, and stayed at Church Landing in January. I can't say enough good things about the wonderful staff there. I always have good food at the Lake House Grille which is right there at Church Landing. Lago is great too, in fact friends that I sent up there liked it better. I also enjoy Mames. Three good choices.

Church Landing is a great location for a wedding. Being from Mass, we tried to have our wedding there but could not work out the logistics. However, we did get our engagement photos taken there one October during peak foliage season.
We also stayed in the "Treehouse Suite" during a snowstorm one December after we were married. If it is available, it is worth the extra money!!!!

Mame's catered our wedding reception, and the food was quite good, as was the whole set-up and service. The thing that upset us was that at the end, they took all the left-overs away while we were saying good-bye to guests. We had looked forward to being able to enjoy the food for several days given we ended up not eating much ourselves while chatting with guests. We thought we had paid for all the food, and they blandly said "we always take it away". So, if you want to have the left-overs that you paid for, get clear upfront.
