Cannot say enough amazing things about the Envio in Portsmouth, NH!!!! Katryn and her team made our dream wedding come true this past NYE. Clear communication, new and beautiful space, and no details missed. Guests raved about the food, friendliness of the staff, the hotel location right downtown Portsmouth. They think of everything and ensure the bride and groom are very well taken care. I cannot recommend this venue and wonderful team of staff more, from signing the contract to the food tasting to arrivals /departures we were supported every step. Thank you, Katryn and The Envio!!

If you're considering Wentworth by the Sea hotel for your wedding venue - just do it! They truly went above and beyond and blew us out of the water. We went with the Little Harbor Package in the Grand Ballroom - we were treated like royalty. Any issue we may have come across (few if not any at all!) it was quickly settled with zero stress. If you're looking for a one stop shop for everything wedding - they supply an excellent list of vendors, everything is on site, champagne around every corner, and talk about luxurious and beautiful! Kate, Catherine, and the entire Wentworth staff were extremely attentive, in person and via email - they were just incredible and I couldn't speak more highly about their professionalism. Our wedding guests are still complimenting Wentworth by the Sea - especially the food! Food is something not many people expect to be blown away by at a wedding - but boy they didn't disappoint! Some guests said it was the best filet they had EVER had!!! All of the food - appetizers, salads, entrees, dessert - everything was mouthwatering and buzzworthy. Again, if you're considering booking Wentworth by the Sea Hotel - this is your sign to book! I can't say enough wonderful things about all the people involved and the property itself with all of its amenities! I am beyond happy with our choice to spend the best day of our lives with Wentworth! Meredith & Jonah 3 6/21/25

Photographing a wedding reception at Victoria inn felt nothing short of a fairytale. The landscaping/flowers, chandeliers and twinkle lights were magical and made each photo feel complete. Staff were quick to check in on me and my fellow vendors to ask if we needed anything and also ensured us that we would eat a full-hot meal at our own table. This is sometimes rare in the wedding vendor community so it was very appreciated! That day in particular was a downpour with rain and wind. Staff at Victoria inn promptly moved tables and chairs out of the way and even went as far as moving my camera bag out of harms way as it was near an open window. The care and commitment to keeping guests and other vendors comfortable and happy was extraordinary and I would be so grateful to ever work a wedding there again!
