I picked up so many unique goodies, from beautiful jewelry and homemade bags to kitchenware, perfumes, fudge and jams. There was something for everyone's taste and style. The food trucks offering pizza, baked goods, and fudge counter added a delicious touch to the day. It was such a beautiful day to enjoy the outdoor booths & tents, including several venders inside. Just a heads-up- the vendors are only there until 3 PM! The center has two separate ballrooms with a beautiful entrance, providing plenty of inside space to walk around comfortably. It's a great place to explore all the vendors at your own pace and enjoy the day shopping for wonderful, handcrafted gifts. The spacious setup makes it easy to browse and relax, whether you're inside or outside. I can't wait to come back for another event.

The staff, especially Kathleen and Christine, were extremely helpful throughout the planning process and made the night of our wedding reception truly special. The venue itself is stunning. I had multiple guests compliment us on how beautiful it is. It's also extremely close to multiple hotels and the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, which was extra convenient for our out-of-town guests. We cannot recommend the Bedford Event Center enough!

No reviews for this great venue yet?…read more A great place of moderate size, this place holds many local events including art shows, political forums, music and choral shows and plays from local theater companies so there is often cool public events going on here. It can also be rented, very affordably for weddings and parties. It's in an easy to find location right off of Exit 3 on 93 and has plenty of parking. You could fit 200 people between the two rooms quite easily, one drawback is the small kitchen and bathrooms downstairs, but you should certainly look at this awesome and historical building for your next event in the area. It will be hard to be disappointed.

If you are a couple looking to get married in the beautiful woods of new Hampshire- absolutely do…read moreNOT pick the Gardens. We paid our ($12k) deposit in full, after immense stressors from the sales department. Once we signed the contract? They went dark. When I finally got someone on the phone (by the way, they don't do phone calls, so, there's that) Tom said "we're dealing with 12 other brides this month so we don't have time to show you around the property". He was snide, demeaning and rude. Do yourself a favor- do, under no circumstances, choose this venue. They are awful people who churn brides out like a factory. See the correspondences below. Once they get your money, they don't care. Not worth it.

Perfect venue for a New Hampshire style wedding. Rustic farmhouse in a wooded setting with…read moreatmospheric romance. Two story, lofted indoor space with full bar, plus outdoor porches, patio, and ceremony-ready gazebo. The managers help plan events but hosts may DIY the meetinghouse decor as early as the night before! I attended a summer wedding here. Staff provided coordinating and bartenders but every other vendor was hired by the bride and groom. They gave us space to prep and store appetizers, which was clutch. Josiah's Meetinghouse is along a major route, which makes it easy to find but adds traffic sounds to ceremonies outside. Cranking the music helped our party drown it out. As long as they're not busy, they're pretty generous with time.

We just attended a weekend Wedding at Josiah's. The Venue itself is nice enough but there are a few…read morenegatives. First; Parking. Be prepared for a hike. An uphill one. Second; Parking Lot Lighting. It's an obstacle course out there in the dark. Third; terrible acoustics. A lot of this is probably on the band but; the sound level and quality were agonizing, at times. Fourth; Josiah's Management has made a decision that it's a good idea to shoehorn advertising into every opportunity on the Dance Floor. Neon Lights continuously flash their logo across the wedding guests. The epitome of tackiness and tastelessness. I've never seen anything like it. I'm not sure if it shows up in photos but; it sure was an eyesore in person. Overall, an enjoyable night, as Weddings usually are but; I sure wouldn't recommend Josiah's Meetinghouse. Especially for an evening affair with mixed age attendees.

Friendly staff and BEAUTIFUL location. I went there for a…read morewedding in June, location is quite stunning, the barn is gorgeous and the grounds are well maintained. Things I would fix: Leave the buffet station out longer. It seems like the food was bright out then packed up WAY faster than people could eat. The coffee station should be left out till the END. Was packed up an hour prior to end. People who were drinking (or working the wedding) all night should have the choice of coffee before they leave. **set up a small table of such for VENDORS. I saw vendors eating in the lobby because they had no place to eat or sit. Not cool.
