New Hampshire is known as “The Granite State,” so you’d expect some great geology to provide the backdrop for your wedding or elopement. If so, you’d be absolutely right! With an abundance of mountain ranges, cliffs, waterfalls and state parks there is no shortage of places to get married surrounded by nature’s beauty. If you’d like stunning views from up high, then Mt. Washington may be what you’re looking for. With options to take a steam train to the summit, you could do something very unique here. If you’re a real outdoor enthusiast, you might choose to hike to the top (it’s a 4 – 5 mile trip each way, so you might want to change into wedding clothes when you get there!). Don’t worry about less mobile guests, as the Auto Road is available usually from late spring to early fall, depending on conditions.

Of course, you may want to marry closer to sea level. In that case, New Hampshire still has plenty of options with plenty of small towns and lakes, and not forgetting the coastline where you have both rocky or sandy beaches to choose from.

The weather is similar to other states in the Northeastern area, with four distinct seasons, meaning that you could get married in glorious sunshine in summer or in crisp, fresh snow in winter.
