Be married in a place as timeless as love itself...our Classic Mountain Village. Where will you hold your ceremony? How about on the lovely village common gazebo - tree-lined, serene, historic. Or fill a white-steepled church with your family & friends and ride to your reception in a horse-drawn carriage. 
How about on the Artists' Covered Bridge...where the music of the rippling Sunday River provides the timeless melody to help you begin your lives together. Allow the songbirds to add to the refrain of your vows on a lovely hilltop setting.
Whatever your wedding dream is...the Bethel area can provide the perfect setting. Perhaps a candlelit wedding in front of the fireplace of a cozy & romantic country inn would suit your special day...or next to the white lights adorning a Christmas tree, as snowflakes fall outside. Let us help you plan your wedding...we have all the services you need...and the perfect setting!
We also have a variety of top-notch facilities for your next reunion or conference. From small and intimate settings to grand hotels...we've got something for every taste and budget!
