She went above and beyond on our wedding day to ensure we had drinks, food, even going as far as helping my mother in law get to and from photos. She helped keep our little one entertained throughout the night so we were able to truly enjoy ourselves. Every single guest commented on how incredible she was-- if I could give her more than 5 stars I would.

The red barn is quite picturesque from the outside. It's a bit sterile on the inside so if you are…read moreplanning and event here, you may need to dress up the banquet hall. The bathrooms are clean but they could use more stalls. Parking is easy, although messy if it's raining. The acoustics aren't too bad if there is a DJ. The servers are all excellent, and they attempt to do silver service, meaning that they serve food simultaneously to each person at the table, etc. It's not silver service! The food is ok. We had steak tips that were delicious. The chicken picatta was dry and tiny. This is a great place for a wedding or corporate event, just be sure to stay on top of the details.

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.

Charming historic hotel, the closest one you can get to Phillips Exeter Academy (just a 4-5 minute…read morewalk). Rooms are on the small side, and you definitely feel like you're in an old historic building; however, the beds are comfortable, heating system is effective without being overly loud or breezy, and the bathrooms are nicely updated. Not much storage for clothes -- no chest of drawers, and the only shelves we could use were in the bathroom. Wi-fi is free but not superfast. There are adequate power outlets throughout the room (on the wall, and also as part of a lamp and an alarm clock). TV service is pretty basic; no premium movie channels or Chromecast ability. Keurig machines are standard, which are a nice touch. No fridge or safe. The lobby and lounge areas are beautiful, as is the attached restaurant, Epoch. Complimentary continental breakfast includes bagels (with a toaster), prepackaged waffles, cereals, pastries, fruit, yogurt, coffee/tea, milk, and a few juices. Coffee was quite good. They routinely put out really good cookies in the afternoon. Front desk staff are friendly and helpful. The first time we stayed here, I felt that some kind of fragrance in the room was making my eyes feel very dry, so I spoke to the front desk ahead of our second stay. They assured me that they use fragrance-free detergent for the sheets, but housekeeping does spray air freshener, so I asked for that not to be done -- and I had no problem this time. Plenty of free parking on the street in front of the hotel, as well as a large lot in the back. 2 Tesla chargers and one ClipperCreek charger (with a J-1772 plug) are available for guests, but it's $25 per charge (presumably no matter how much electricity you use).
