The Brief History of Cold Spring Barn | A New Hampshire Wedding Venue
Our journey to becoming a New Hampshire wedding venue has been a remarkable one. We take pride in the years spent building up what was once raw land into the 2nd place winner of New Hampshire Lakes Region Best Wedding Venue of 2024. While building a barn wedding venue was not originally in our plans as we purchased this land, the theme of building and fostering community ran deep through every step of our evolution. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity we have to care for this land, the community that has helped and supported us throughout this journey, and the bonds we have created and strengthened throughout the process.
The Cold Spring Farm Dogs
Have you ever attended a wedding where the signature drinks were named after the couple’s dogs? Or maybe there was a picture of their pup on the cocktail napkins? This is one of our favorite things to see at weddings (besides getting to meet the actual dogs of course!) If you are planning to do something similar – we see you and we get it, we’re dog people too.
If you have been to the farm or you follow Cold Spring Farm on social media you have likely met or seen our beloved pups. Unlike the horses, they are mostly kept away from weddings and events, and likely won’t be gracing the backgrounds of your sunset photos, but they are still an integral part of our life at the farm. They are our enthusiastic greeters, security system, source of never-ending silliness, comfort, and best friends. It is safe to say we are “dog people” in every sense of the word, and we would love to take this moment to introduce you to our furry family members.
Get to Know the Horses at Cold Spring Farm
Since embarking on our journey into the wedding and event space, our horses have been a constant draw of attention and inquiry from couples, photographers, and guests alike. Their presence has graced the backdrop of countless wedding portraits and ethereal sunset photos here at Cold Spring Farm. While they certainly add ambiance, personality, and quintessential New England charm to every wedding and event we host, we also want to pay tribute to their history and the gifts they bestow upon our daily lives as their grateful caretakers.
