Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Your spectacular oceanside event will boast a different view every hour, from the in-and-out of the tides to a dramatic fog clearing into a brilliant blue sky. Whether you dream of a casual lobster bake, an intimate farm-to-table dinner, or an elegant black-tie affair, you'll have the flexibility to bring your vision to life in an exquisite setting.
- Exchange vows in front of the rocky shoreline with a soundtrack of crashing waves, then follow with dinner and dancing beneath an airy al fresco tent. Throughout, you and your guests will enjoy ocean panoramas that encompass sparkling seas dotted with sailboats, four different lighthouses, and the Isles of Shoals.
- Invite your guests to explore the interactive exhibits and aquariums inside the Center; in addition to sharing the mission of the Science Center with your nearest and dearest, your rental helps support its efforts to promote the conservation and health of the ocean and its inhabitants through community outreach and in-depth educational programming.
