Rehearsal Dinner
As a time-honored tradition, rehearsal dinners offer an intimate setting for the couple, their families and members of the wedding party to get to know each other better before the big day. Everyone enjoys each other’s company over delicious food and drink while fun and heartfelt toasts get the celebration started. With options such as family-style dining and five-course meals, couples can customize the formality of this event to fit their personalities, wishes and wants!
For intimate dinners, The Wentworth Room at Wentworth by the Sea Country Club is a popular venue for couples getting married in and around the New Hampshire Seacoast. This beautiful space accommodates 15-30 guests.
Welcome Party
More and more couples are choosing to host a welcome party the night following the rehearsal dinner, prior to their wedding day. It’s a fantastic opportunity for all guests to mingle and get acquainted, especially those traveling in from out of town and staying in Rye or Portsmouth, New Hampshire! This pre-wedding celebration can be as casual or elaborate as you desire, from a relaxed cocktail hour with light bites to a vibrant gathering with music and decorations.
Located at Wentworth by the Sea Country Club, The Pavilion offers a stunning setting for your welcome party. This polished venue accommodates 60-150 guests and features rustic exposed beams, chandeliers, a stone fireplace and a beautiful view of the 18th green. Impress your guests and set the tone for the entire wedding weekend with this unforgettable welcome party.
Wedding Party Golfing
