Looking to rent a vacation home for my wedding!

How about Brewster Academy? Plenty of room for a tent, in fact depending on the timing you may be able to use the tent and porta johns that are already set up for the Great Waters Concert series. Certainly the Boat House there would work.

By the way, how many people are you talking about? How big a tent? Would you consider being on an island?

The Wolfeboro Inn is on the water, does weddings and has a tour boat to take you guests for a ride.

If you need someone to bartend your wedding, let me know. I have done many weddings and other large functions.

... to find someone willing to rent you their house for your wedding, especially if it's a big one (such as yours).

My wife and I tried every possible avenue and no one wanted to do it, no matter how much was offered for price.

It would take an enormous toll on the house/landscaping/neighborhood if 150 guests showed up for a wedding, not to mention the plumbing that a previous poster talked about.

We ended up getting married at Church Landing last August and I can not say enough positive things about the experience. From the food (we did the carving stations), to the staff (especially the waitress who took care of my wife and me), to the early check in they gave to all of our guests (we got married on a Friday night and the rehearsal was at 3pm on Thursday), everything was perfect.

It was cloudy all day up until 4:00. At 4:30 when the ceremony began it was all sunshine, a slight breeze, no humidity, and about 85 degrees. Absolutely perfect.

It was over a year ago and I still remember every single second of it. If you do get married there, try to stay in the Tree House Suite. It's kind of removed from the rest of the hotel and is very cool inside.

Congrats and good luck!!!

This will be a day wedding and no music will go past 9pm. We will have between 150-175 guests.

Thanks!

It might not hit all your requirements but try the Governors Island Club. That will be peak season for them but you never know until you try.

I second Brewster. My brother went there (I did KUA) and it is a very nice location. As was mentioned the Boat House could be a good place to set up seating and food.

There is no way that I would want to rent out my house for an event like this. The liability would be HUGE and you would no doubt have to take a special rider on the insurance. On top of that with all those people the landscape would take a beating and have to be redone no doubt. The cost could be well in excess of 20 grand by the time you added it all up. Don't get me wrong I hope that you find what you are looking for, but you may need to bend in your requirements a bit.
