As parents we mark our children’s progression though their milestone. Birth, first steps, that big yellow bus, dorms with a keg camouflaged in the corner, to their marriage with their own children.
These days pass very quickly and before we are ready, we are all planning a wedding. The day must be perfect. In our story our daughter wanted a Barn venue in NH. We had many happy memories of family vacations on the lake. We saw many wonderful venues. But none could compare to the warmth, elegance and professionalism of the INN On Main, in Wolfeboro NH.
We Arrived at our first appointment to be greeted by Shannon. She was lovely. The Barn was gorgeous. Truly the bride and groom’s vision. We toured the property that had 14 guest rooms. This included handicap accessible and pet friendly rooms. Then rooms were clean and steps away from the venue which made it easy for guests to return to their rooms during and after the reception.
We were introduced to the irreplaceable Patti. Throughout the months of planning, Patti guided us through florist, hair stylists, makeup artists and limousine services with pristine reputations. We spent a night at the Inn a few weeks prior to wedding to review the menu and details. We arrived at O Bistro to be greeted with literally open arms and a warm hug from Patti. Working with her felt like we were all planning our daughter’s wedding with family. Her experience, leadership, attention to detail, and sheer joy is un-matched.
The Barn was large enough to hold our 100 guests with ease during Covid. The dance floor supported the band and over 60 wild dancers! The barn featured a cozy fireplace elegantly decorated as a backdrop for the bride and groom’s table. The PA system worked perfectly for wedding speeches. The kitchen is attached to the barn assuring the prompt delivery of hot service and specialty meals for our gluten free and vegan guest as well as any special requests from the guests. Patti suggested a variety of options, keeping our budget in mind. We choose the family style menu to accommodate both our younger robust guest and our petite appetites.
The loft overlooks the venue. Our photographers were able to capture some fantastic memories for us. The well-stocked bar is strategical placed out of the way however easily accessible. As are the handicap rest rooms. Outside of the barn there is a peaceful patio where our guests relaxed after dinner enjoying cocktails. The patio overlooks the property while still being close enough to enjoy the wedding atmosphere and the music.
The big day finally arrived. The bride and groom were excited beyond belief. Guests were embarking. The Venue was beautifully decorated. Patti had arrived early to make sure the day was perfect. She helped set up the memorial table, the projector, the sound system (synching the slide show with music), when she noticed a light bulb out over the bride and grooms table. She summoned a ladder to change a light bulb on a 20-foot ceiling! The lighting helped to make all photographs perfect. She also noticed that the bride’s seating charts had not arrived and called to have those delivered. She assisted our vendors as they arrived. However, I was flabbergasted when I learned of something else, that Patti had quietly maneuvered!
On her way to The Inn on Main, for the final preparation for our daughter’s wedding. Patti recalled there was construction at the pier on lake Winnipesauke. The wedding portraits would be taken there at the gazebo. She realized a backhoe would be in photographs. She appealed to the drivers asking him to please move the backhoe from the camera’s view! Patti wasn’t just making sure the venue was perfect. She was making sure that the entire day was perfect. Patti’s service is above and beyond perfection.
As all weddings do, ours had a glitch which delayed the church service and thus everything else for 45 minutes. Patti greeted all of our guests before the wedding party arrived. Her staff was wonderful in keeping the appetizer’s flowing, and our guests happy and entertained. The bar was well stocked including the Signature Drink. The Bartender Jerry was efficient as well as humorous. Having the wedding at the Inn On Main was like having it among family. People who cared for you and your moments.
The chef prepared each meal with elegance. The food was delectable. Your chef is amazing!
Your entire staff is amazing. However, there is one person who we are afraid may go unnoticed. She quietly tends to the needs of others. Undiscerning of notoriety. We want to tell you how wonderful Cheryl is. She tended to our lodging guests every need. Many of them commented how personable and fantastic she treated them.
In closing we want to reiterate many of our guest remarked “this was the best wedding we have ever been to”. We want to thank all of you for being part of one of the most precious moments of our lives. For making our experience at the Inn On Main truly everything we could have dreamed of for our daughter and son in law.

The Inn on Main / O'Bistro Restaurant is an exceptional property owned/managed by folks who care about their customers. We just had a great wedding reception here - the rooms at The Inn are large, clean, and well maintained. The barn is an exceptional venue - with very little needed to make it the perfect atmosphere. The back patio/lawn areas also extended the opportunities for everyone attending our event to enjoy themselves thoroughly. As great as the property is for this type of event, it is the people here who make it a joy to have met them. Shannon up front is very much about working FOR the customer. Patti who is the event manager is quite simply irreplaceable and has the type of kind heart we should all aspire to represent. The rest of the staff as expected emulates the positive attitudes of their leadership. The food prepared for the wedding was exceptional and received rave reviews. In addition, we had dinner at O'Bistro multiple times during the week prior to the wedding, and each meal was simply delicious. This is a "not to be missed" gem of the Lakes Region!

This venue is a little gem, tucked away from the busyness of downtown. The barn is gorgeous, and the staff is very accommodating and takes time to listen to what you want for your big day. The hotel rooms are in great shape! This is a great spot for your big day!
