This space can accommodate from 100 up to 500 guests and tailored to suit your individual tastes; the customizable possibilities are limitless at this one-of-a-kind setting.
The Mariah Room is an indoor wedding venue that features all of the natural beauty of an outdoor Lake Winnipesaukee ceremony experience. Ever elegant, The Mariah Room boasts floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook Lake Winnipesaukee and let the natural light flood into the room. Facing West, The Mariah Room also offers some of the most spectacular sunsets on the lake. The granite bar and fieldstone fireplace make this room the perfect setting for your ceremony, reception, or gathering in Laconia, NH. This room accommodates up to 120 people comfortably and will create the perfect backdrop for your elegant reception.
Another great indoor wedding venue option is our Main Ballroom. The Main Ballroom is a gorgeous Laconia, NH, event venue adorned with mirrors throughout the space.

Additionally, our team can reconfigure it for smaller and more intimate receptions. Dance the night away in this beautiful and expansive room with a large dance floor and room for a band or DJ.

You can also bring your fixings for s’mores for a tasty post-wedding snack. A beach campfire is an incredibly unique and romantic way to complete your New Hampshire wedding.
Make a splash at the end of your reception with a pool party at The Margate on Winnipesaukee’s swimming pool. We’ll keep our indoor pool open extra late and serve drinks out of the poolside bar. You and your wedding guests will enjoy after-party drinks while taking a dip in the pool or relaxing in our oversized Jacuzzi or sauna. Either way, your wedding pool party will be a fun and memorable conclusion to your special day.
