Welcome to the Blue Bear Inn – Where Your Wedding Weekend Becomes an Unforgettable Retreat

Tucked away on 54 private acres in the mountains of Francestown, NH, the Blue Bear Inn is a charming, historic wedding venue that blends rustic New England charm with modern hospitality. More than just a place to get married, it’s a place to gather, relax, and truly celebrate—together.

We’re Carrie and Bobby, your on-site innkeepers and the heart behind the Blue Bear. When we got married, we had a wedding weekend where all our favorite people stayed together in one place—it gave everyone a chance to slow down, bond, and soak it all in. It was one of the most special weekends of our lives, and we wanted to create that kind of experience for others too.

So now we live here (with our lovable dog Baloo and our Maine Coon cat Yali), making sure every couple has that same kind of magic: a cozy, joyful space to celebrate love surrounded by the people who matter most.
