Vintage Inspiration Meets a Coastal Atmosphere at this Wentworth By The Sea Country Club Wedding

An idyllic New Hampshire wedding venue, Wentworth By The Sea Country Club embodies a true New England experience. Vows are exchanged against the shores of Portsmouth, with the sparkling waters of the harbor in direct view. Wedding days are imbued with old-world charm through an immersive experience where fashionable guests enjoy custom-crafted cocktails and the finest seafood the state has to offer.

For Lizzie and Sam, envisioning their wedding day took a fashion-forward approach, with a style-first mindset that allowed them to create an event embodying touchpoints evoking their personalities.

Every couple planning a wedding imagines their day unfolding with its own unique brand of charm. When Lizzie and Sam finalized their attire choices, vintage pieces for Lizzie and a sleek modern suit for Sam, they next centered their focus on how their celebration would come together. Having selected Wentworth By The Sea Country Club for their wedding day, Lizzie would later say that the venue was akin to a private estate wedding. The day proved to be an intimate experience where the newlyweds enjoyed a tented reception by the ocean.

A Tented Wedding Reception with a Welcoming Atmosphere

Just before the start of their reception, Lizzie and Sam opted to join their guests during cocktail hour, with freshly shucked raw oysters served on the half shell. Inside their reception space, design choices centered on natural elements accented by earthy tones. This included rattan light fixtures, bamboo chairs, individual menus, and escort cards in the form of rounded coastal stones with hand-calligraphed guest names.

At the very center of elevated place settings, our Lilou plate was featured, setting the tone for a dining experience rooted in connection, driven by tradition. Linen napkins completed the look, along with crystal stemware for wine pairings to complement dinner.
