“From the gorgeous views, grounds, rooms, bar, and the list goes on.”
“The venue is so warm and welcoming, and they’re both so willing to go above and beyond to make your day the best it can be!”
From the reviews
Attended a wedding there and the owners went out of their way to make everything perfect. Wonderful venue with both a bridal and a groomsmen suite on property, along with a couple other rooms with comfortable beds, lots of space to stretch out, and ensuite bathrooms.
We had a great wedding weekend here! All the venue staff were fantastic and the dog is very cute (and huge). And great views of Mount Sunapee!
This place is amazing, but the people running it are truly the most amazing people you could ask for. Keith+Nicole and their kids are running the best wedding venue in the state. I can’t believe how epic they made our wedding. They are truly the best venue we could have asked for our special day.
Look no further than this venue. You won't find such a charming place anywhere else. The owners, Nicole & Keith with their daughters are a family that went out of their way, and then, above and beyond to make sure my stepson's wedding was not just memorable, but as stress free as possible.
Getting married at The Greatful Dane Lodge
The Greatful Dane Lodge comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at The Greatful Dane Lodge
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at The Greatful Dane Lodge — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
