Scenic Mountain Wedding Venues in New England: The Gardens at Uncanoonuc Mountain
Weddings at The Gardens at Uncanoonuc Mountain are a gem to shoot. Sitting on over 15 acres, the venue's spectacular grounds and modern facilities were impressive. This venue just outside of Manchester, NH, is stunning with some of the most beautiful landscaping I have seen at a New England Wedding. It was the perfect setting for an outdoor tented wedding and ceremony.
The Perfect Natural Setting
The ceremony took place in the Woodland Garden, a magical backdrop that looked like it was straight out of a fairytale. Before the ceremony, couples often share a first look in the beautiful rose garden. With a gorgeous summer day as their setting, guests enjoyed cocktail hour out on the lawn. The night continued under the sailcloth tent with heartfelt toasts, delicious dinner, and plenty of dancing!

Wedding Vision and Themes
Rustic and Elegant Inspirations
Tori and Sam envisioned a wedding that was fun, rustic, and elegant. During the planning stages, they developed the theme of “grandma’s attic,” blending textures, patterns, and designs throughout the décor. Their goal was for the flowers and designs to look like they were freshly picked from the venue’s gardens. They chose a bright color palette to complement the summer celebration.
Whimsical Garden Vibes and Traditions
Marissa and Arman’s wedding vision was all about creating a colorful and whimsical garden vibe. They went with a sunset-inspired color palette—rich pinks, warm oranges, and soft yellows—to bring warmth to the day. Their wedding incorporated a Persian ceremony to honor Arman’s heritage. The ceremony was rich with tradition, from the sofreh aghd (a spread filled with symbolic items) to the sugar-rubbing ritual, which represented sweetness and harmony in their marriage.
