The Gardens at Uncanoonuc Mountain Wedding

Bride and groom during their first look at Gardens at Uncanoonuc Mountain.

Tori and Sam’s wedding at The Gardens at Uncanoonuc Mountain was simply beautiful! This was my first time planning a wedding at this venue just outside of Manchester, NH, and I fell in love. Sitting on over 15 acres, the venue's spectacular grounds and modern facilities were impressive. It was the perfect setting for an outdoor tented wedding and ceremony.

Tori and Sam’s love story began when they met at the beach through mutual friends. That evening, during dinner, it was clear there was a spark between them, and they started dating shortly after. While they were thrilled about their wedding day, they were most excited about starting their lives together and being able to spend every day as husband and wife.

Tori and Sam envisioned a wedding that was fun, rustic, and elegant. During the planning stages, we developed the theme of “grandma’s attic,” blending textures, patterns, and designs throughout the décor. Our goal was for the flowers and designs to look like they were freshly picked from the venue’s gardens. We chose a bright color palette to complement the summer celebration.

The day began with Tori getting ready on the property alongside her closest friends and family. A special touch to the day was having the same photographer who captured Tori’s parents’ wedding. Once everyone was ready, Tori shared a first look with her dad before seeing Sam for their first look in the beautiful rose garden.

After portraits, the ceremony took place in the Woodland Garden, a magical backdrop that looked like it was straight out of a fairytale. With a gorgeous summer day as their setting, guests enjoyed cocktail hour out on the lawn. A unique highlight was the live watercolor artist creating portraits throughout the evening, which guests absolutely loved. The night continued under the sailcloth tent with heartfelt toasts, delicious dinner, and plenty of dancing! Learn more about planning a tented wedding reception.
