Dreaming of a Northern NH Mountain Wedding?

If you’re planning a wedding in Northern New Hampshire and want something intimate, scenic, and full of personality, let me introduce you to one of my favorite venues: Sunset Hill House in Sugar Hill, NH.

With panoramic mountain views, cozy inn vibes, and space for your closest loved ones to stay on-site, it’s a spot where nature and nostalgia come together. It’s easily one of the most beautiful NH mountain wedding venues I’ve worked at—and I’m so excited to share more about what makes it special.

A Sugar Hill NH Inn with Mountain Views for Days

Perched on a ridgeline in the town of Sugar Hill, this charming inn offers stunning views of both the White Mountains and the Green Mountains. From the lawn, you can see Cannon, Lafayette, and on clear days, all the way to Mount Mansfield in Vermont.

This is what makes it more than just a pretty venue—it’s a place full of meaning. Last August, I photographed a Sunset Hill House wedding where the couple could see both the mountain where they had their first trail run and the peak where they got engaged, right from their ceremony.

Why Sunset Hill House Is One of the Best NH Mountain Wedding Venues

There are so many reasons to love this venue if you’re searching for a perfect Northern NH wedding venue:

• Unbeatable views for your ceremony and portraits
• On-site lodging for guests at the inn
• A staff that’s kind, experienced, and flexible
• A quiet, peaceful location that still feels accessible

It’s ideal for laid-back couples who want something beautiful and meaningful, without the pressure of a traditional ballroom-style wedding.

A Real Wedding at Sunset Hill House: Wildflowers, Mountains, and a Very Good Dog

The couple I worked with brought so much heart into their day. Here’s a snapshot of what made their Sunset Hill House wedding special:

• Their dog was apart of their ceremony (!)
• They picked wildflowers from for the centerpieces
• Each table was named after a mountain that had special meaning to them

It was such a reflection of them: outdoorsy, intentional, and fun. And the fact that they could literally see their story in the skyline from the ceremony lawn? Magic.

Tips for Planning a Wedding at Sunset Hill House
