The Seacoast Science Center is a marine science education center and one-of-a-kind wedding venue situated on the ocean's edge in Rye, New Hampshire. At this gorgeous venue, you and your beloved can celebrate your special day in the heart of the historic Odiorne Point State Park, surrounded by picturesque ocean views and the rugged coastline. You will also be supporting the vital work of a conservation organization passionate about protecting marine life in New Hampshire and beyond.

Your wedding will take place outdoors in one of the State Park's most private and tranquil locations. The venue can accommodate events of up to 200 guests so that you can share your special day with all your nearest and dearest. Crashing waves and sparkling sea views will form the backdrop for your romantic exchange of vows at the park's dedicated ceremony site. After you have tied the knot, you and your beloved can spend time taking your wedding photos and exploring the surrounding coastline before meeting your guests for your reception in the al fresco event tent. This 40' x 90' function space, with panoramic ocean views, can transform to fit your wedding theme and color scheme and is ideally suited for an evening of dining, dancing, and making memories with your loved ones.

Wedding beyond our wildest dreams

We could not have envisioned a more perfect venue for our wedding than the Seacoast Science Center. We love that the focus is the beautiful natural scenery and coast. The down-to-earth vibe was exactly what we wanted and allowed us the flexibility to select all our own vendors which was a priority. As an added bonus, we connected to the SSC mission/purpose: nature preservation, science, and education.

Everyone we worked with at the Seacoast Science Center was so nice! The SSC really helped us create the wedding of our dreams.

Stunning ocean views, best seacoast venue!

We absolutely loved having our wedding at the Seacoast Science Center! We always wanted to have our wedding by the ocean and we instantly fell in love with the location and venue. We also love the fact that the venue costs went back to the Seacoast Science Center which is a place I would visit during school trips growing up. Most of our guests are not from the local NH area and travelled internationally and we wanted them to be stunned by the beauty of NH's seacoast. Hollie and her team helped make sure our day was very special and went smoothly.

Wedding venue!

We just had our wedding at the Seacoast Science Center last weekend, and I am STILL getting messages from all of my guests about how incredible the venue was. So many of my friends now want to get married there. Working with the SSC was so seamless - they are wonderful, kind and hardworking people and it really shows. The tent, yard and ceremony area are breathtaking; not to mention the incredible grounds for getting some amazing photographs. Friends- do not waste your time looking around, book your wedding at the Seacoast Science Center, you won't regret it!

SSC is one of our favorite venues! Not only because it's incredibly friendly and hard-working staff, but for the most amazingly beautiful settings along the New England coast. The grounds are immaculate and allow for plenty of room for the guests to spread out and enjoy~and every sunset is spectacular! Looking forward to many more events at SSC
