I had a May wedding at the Enfield Shaker Museum, and I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to have a wedding in New Hampshire of Vermont. Don't be worried if the venue seems too far away. My wife and I live 90 minutes from the museum but were able to easily plan the wedding remotely via email.

The wedding coordinator was absolutely fantastic. She has a list of local vendors (caterers, florists, etc.) who have experience working with the museum. After one in person meeting with the coordinator we were months ahead of schedule. Leading up to the wedding she did a perfect job of finalizing all the smaller details, and she helped beautifully orchestrate our cocktail hour and reception while using a light touch.
As far as the venue is concerned, the beauty of the place speaks for itself. The Mary Keane Chapel is an ornate de-consecrated Catholic chapel built from Granite and filled with beautiful marble and stained glass. The Stone Mill is a spacious gathering area with a fantastic view of the rest of the property. The Great Room is the main dwelling area that holds two dining room options, a kitchen, and twenty or so guest rooms. The architecture is the typical Shaker style that is beautiful in its simplicity and steeped in history. The main buildings are surrounded by several other Shaker buildings as well as a barn and garden which made for great wedding photos.
This venue is fantastic because it provides all-in-one capabilities for chapel, reception, and lodging; plus the wedding coordinator is fantastic. If you're looking for a wedding venue I would strongly recommend considering this on your short list. If you're looking for a golf course or hotel wedding then consider the museum because it provides so much more beauty and customization options. If you're looking for a rustic barn style wedding then consider the museum because you can get all of the rustic feel of a barn at a reduced cost without sacrificing must haves like bathrooms, kitchen, etc.

Everything we wanted ♥️
We rented the stone mill for our reception and had our ceremony in the chapel.

The Enfield Shaker Museum is a gorgeous historic space, that is so unique. The event coordinator Anna was incredibly helpful and flexible the whole time. The day of was a breeze.
The mill was the perfect blank slate for us to create the wedding of our dreams. It was definitely a little more work than some other venues would have been but it was 1000% worth it.

I am so grateful that we chose the Enfield Shaker Museum for our wedding. There are many reasons why: 1) The support provided by the museum's event coordinator, Anna; 2) The ability to have many of our guests stay with us onsite, which was incredibly special; 3) The beautiful and historic buildings that also happen to look amazing in photos; 4) The flexibility to choose our own vendors; 5) The fact that linens/tables/chairs/dinnerware are included if you rent the Great Stone Hall; 5) The opportunity to support a fantastic nonprofit with an important mission. Our friends and family loved the location, and one memory that I will remember for the rest of my life was walking through the hallways at night and seeing my dearest friends and family mingling, talking, and getting to know each other after the party ended--made possible because of the overnight rooms. Anna is very knowledgeable and experienced, and she worked incredibly hard behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly so we didn't need to stress. At one point, the caterer unexpectedly took away the water station and Anna saved the day by getting more water so we could keep dancing. She was also an invaluable resource during the planning process. I highly recommend the Shaker Museum as a wedding venue!
