It was recently renovated and is absolutely gorgeous. Everyone assumed that we'd be getting married in a barn when we said we'd picked a venue in NH, but it is modern, chic and needs very little in terms of decorations. They have all inclusive packages that take the stress off your plate because you don't have to worry about all the little details or coordinating all of your vendors (especially important if you're out of state). They have set planning meetings throughout your pre-wedding timeline and it's awesome because you stay on track and organized. Megan - She's amazing! She walked through all the details in our check in calls. Kept us on track and when we were getting close to the wedding we had barely any to-do's left. I was able to get everything done with her help and she was so sweet and kind throughout the entire process. It was an absolute pleasure working with her!! I could tell she truly cared about us as a couple and our wedding day - this is NOT just a job for her. That meant so much. Victoria - amazing energy to have around you on your special day. We loved having her as part of our wedding day and she was there to help in any way, including fluffing my train before walking down the aisle :) Carly - What can I say - Carly NAILED IT! She was fantastic during the planning process, rehearsal and wedding day. She thought of every detail (ones that never crossed my mind) and made the most important day of our lives go off without a hitch! It was so important for us to make sure we got all the pictures done and stayed on a timeline. She went above and beyond with details to make sure that we didn't have to worry about anything. I can honestly say that I was able to relax and enjoy our wedding because of Carly. Janet - what an absolute class act. She literally did everything we needed on the wedding day. Every single thing we could think of, she took care of. To make sure we ate our meal and had some time at the sweet heart table, Janet and Carly personally brought out of dinner plates, put our napkins on our laps and brought us cocktails so we could relax and enjoy! Cairo - she was our Bartender and was fantastic! Beautiful smile and great energy! This day was perfect. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Granite Rose. They thought of everything, they managed the timeline, kept us on track and also did it all with a smile on their faces. I honestly have so much love for this team. We were able to relax and enjoy our wedding, which isn't something that I hear many people say.

Thanks again Melissa and all those behind the scene to make this event memorable to all. John

Great Circle did not disappoint and treated us to simply amazing food and hospitality. The staff was extremely professional and almost invisible(in a good way) during the reception on September 1st at the Portsmouth Elks Club. We enjoyed a buffet with Braised Beef Short Ribs, Chicken Bellagio, Rice Pilaf, Seasonal Vegetables. For appetizers we enjoyed charcuterie platters.

All of our friends and family from all over the country couldn't stop raving about the food, and their new Tap Truck was a hit serving as both a source of ice cold draft beer and a conversation piece. As expected, the raw bar was top notch, and the tenderloin popovers, cheddar bites, bacon wrapped scallops, and deviled eggs were so tasty I barely had room left for the main course because I couldn't stop taking more! Our entree selections were similarly satisfying with a delicious chicken dish, glazed rainbow baby carrots, and their clam chowder being notable standouts. The sirloin carving station was a real hit, particularly with their fig and wilted arugula accomplishments, and Chef Ned's bright and engaging personality made this event really stand out with a friendly greeting and engaging conversation for all, both young and old. The whole team was exceedingly friendly and engaged, not cool and aloof like some service staff can be. I'd particularly like to give a shout-out to Jen who not only guided us through all of the planning steps leading up to the big day, but also was kind enough to go to the store after her set up was done and pick up more ice for us for our self-furnished beverage station. Many caterers would have treated this as a "not my problem"situation since we weren't paying them to provide beverages, but she went above and beyond to help ensure our event was a success. I have zero reservations about calling Jen at Great Circle for help planning our next big event and neither should you!

We went for a birthday party and they were overbooked I guess so they started rushing and kicking us out while we were eating yelling about another party coming in. While my little 5 year old nephew was in the middle of eating, he stood up to reach across the table for something, and the owner swooped in and pulled his chair out from behind him to try and rush him out!! When he went to sit back down he literally fell on the ground and the owner shrugged it off like it was the toddlers fault. So freaking weird and inappropriate for that to happen at a "kidz" place. Very bizarre behavior by the owner

Our wedding planning was plagued…read morewith constantly changing COVID regulations and I was full of anxiety about how our big day would go. Allison and Sarah could not have been more comforting and proactive. Over email, phone, and video call, they put my mind at ease and I felt so prepared the day of my wedding, no matter what restrictions were in place. Allison could not have done a better job the day of. She built a great rapport with my family, bridal party, and the venue's event manager to ensure the day ran smoothly. She knew the schedule and set up like the back of her hand. When the timing of certain day-of activities changed last minute, she made sure to let me know of the changes and the night went on without issue. If it were not for COVID and my anxieties around how it would affect our wedding I likely would not have looked for an outside coordinator- our venue did provide one that began to work closely with us (and Allison) in the month or so before the wedding and I truly believe she would have done a comparable job in the day-of execution. But it's the long term commitment to the planning process that makes Without a Hitch special. And while our venue did not host many weddings during COVID, Without a Hitch planned so many, and had the experience and suggestions that made the wedding feel as normal as it possibly could. For any of my friends planning weddings at a less conventional venue or just want more support, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Without a Hitch, and more specifically Allison!

I's been 30 years since my first wedding and LOTS has changed.  I started to become a bit overwhelmed with the details and thankfully I found Rachel at Freya's wedding & event planning.   She literally had the answers before I had the question.  She thought of every last detail and then some.  I loved all her ideas and suggestions. I decided that I wanted silk flowers and she dragged me to the store to choose my colors, and so happy that I did, there are so many different purples out there! The day of my wedding turned out to be chilly and rainy and actually very beautiful.  We got married at my husbands family camp right on the dock, one our favorite places.  Rachel and her assistant Shannon decorated so beautifully.  I can still feel tears coming to my eyes now thinking about walking down to the dock with my boys and seeing my husband there waiting for me. Rachels other assistant Anthony decorated our reception area with white lights and tents of course.  Then Rachel brought out the cake she personally made for us.  I was just blown away and she added a very special touch, it was lemon (my husband's favorite flavor) and lavender (my favorite scent and color).  So delicious and so pretty. We were so happy with Rachel that we hired her to do my daughter's wedding as well.  Which actually was just as amazing. I recommend Rachel for all of your event needs, you will not regret it. Thank you so much Rachel for making our day so special and one we will never forget. Kara Loch
