A Unique, Intimate Wedding Experience at Cottage Place on Squam Lake

If you're looking for a wedding that doesn’t feel like everyone else’s—something more intimate, romantic, and authentically you—Cottage Place on Squam Lake offers exactly that. Our property is nestled on the shores of Squam Lake in New Hampshire and provides a one-of-a-kind setting for couples who want more than just a typical venue. It’s for those who want a full weekend celebration with family and friends in a relaxed, beautiful, and welcoming space.

Couples who choose Cottage Place often tell us they didn’t want a ballroom or a cookie-cutter reception hall. Instead, they wanted something personal—where their guests could stay together, enjoy the lake, unwind by a fire, and truly connect. That’s what we offer: a property that becomes your own for the weekend.

If you're dreaming of a wedding that’s intimate, romantic, and truly memorable—not something out of a catalog or ballroom—Cottage Place on Squam Lake offers a one of a kind setting that feels like it was made just for you.

Tucked along the shores of beautiful Squam Lake in New Hampshire, our property provides the perfect backdrop for a wedding weekend that’s as personal and authentic as your love story. Whether you’re envisioning a barefoot lakeside ceremony, a cozy welcome dinner under the pines, or fireside laughter with family and friends late into the night, this is a space where you can bring it all to life.

What makes weddings here different is the freedom to create an experience that’s entirely your own. We offer the option to reserve the entire property—including all suites, cabins, and beach access—so you and your guests can celebrate together without distractions. The result is a relaxed, connected atmosphere that turns your wedding into a shared memory for everyone who attends.

Couples often use the property not just for the ceremony and reception, but for the full weekend—welcoming guests with a casual gathering, celebrating late into the night, and closing out the experience with a farewell brunch by the lake. Whether you want something laid-back and simple or a more formal, styled affair, Cottage Place provides the flexibility and the charm to bring your vision to life.

Some couples choose to add a unique and memorable touch to their wedding day by holding their ceremony on Church Island, just a short boat ride away from Cottage Place. After getting ready here on property, the wedding party and guests can travel by boat directly to Church Island for the ceremony, then return to Cottage Place for the reception. Many guests enjoy bringing their own boats during their stay, and with our on-site dock, boating to and from Church Island is both easy and convenient—adding a charming and seamless lakeside experience to the celebration.

We work closely with each couple to help design a weekend that reflects your style, not someone else’s idea of what a wedding “should” be. Our open layout and versatile outdoor spaces make it easy to customize your setup, and we’re happy to share our list of trusted local vendors—from tent and table rentals to caterers, mobile bars, photographers, and musicians—who know the property and understand how to help you make the most of it.

Our lakeside location offers not just stunning scenery, but real moments of connection—sunset paddles on the water, casual chats around the fire, lawn games, and laughter echoing from the cabins. These are the little moments your guests will remember, and the ones that make your celebration feel meaningful and real.

At Cottage Place on Squam Lake, we believe weddings should reflect who you are—not follow someone else’s script. If you're ready to create something truly special, we’d love to be part of your story. We’re currently booking weddings for 2026 and beyond.
