Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This boutique gem celebrates New England style right in the heart of Exeter. The 1932 inn is nestled among old-growth trees, lawns and gardens, and its gracious Georgian architecture belies the totally up-to-date amenities and state-of-the-art technology inside.
- You can give your guests a preview of what’s to come. Welcome out-of-town invitees with a rehearsal dinner or cocktail party in the handsome brick and polished wood Epoch Restaurant & Bar, where they can enjoy cuisine made with fresh ingredients from the sea.
- A ceremony at the gazebo is lovely, thanks to the lush greenery that surrounds it. Then, continue your festivities in the stately Daniel Webster Ballroom, replete with glowing chandeliers and arched French doors.
