Where to start. The Aldworth Manor exceeded our expectations in every way. Not only is it the most picturesque venue, the staff were incredible to work with as well. They give you a great idea of timelines, menu ideas, drink suggestions and more. They make you feel comfortable every step of the way. Communication was easy and quick with the management team. Shane personally was always available for questions or tours with parents. He found time in his busy schedule to always accommodate what was needed. Despite the stress that comes along with wedding planning, the Aldworth staff helped alleviate any anxiety we had making our wedding day as comfortable as it was memorable. We couldn’t recommend this place more. Friends and family at the wedding were blown away by the beautiful venue and continue to sing its praises. Look no further than the Aldworth for the most stunning venue and incredible memories that will last a lifetime.

BOOK ALDWORTH IMMEDIATELY! The minute we toured Aldworth we knew it was the one. The breathtaking architecture, grounds, interiors, and location are unparalleled. The added bonus of Airbnbs on site for the bridal party and family made it a no-brainer for us. It felt like a private retreat of a weekend for our closest friends and fam. The experience of working with Shane and Tammy was the cherry on top. They truly make you feel like family. We had a close call with the rain but everyone worked together on multiple contingency plans and believed in the vision. We ended up having it outside and the rain cleared and sun shined down. I can't thank the staff at Aldworth enough. Another big shout out to Brendan the bartender, the kitchen staff, and all the servers. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Shane and his team at Aldworth Manor are some of the most incredible people to plan and execute the most spectacular day! We had the most fun planning, visiting the manor, and trying all of Aldworth’s delicious cocktails & dishes over the past 2 years. When the weather caused the plan to change repeatedly throughout our wedding weekend, Shane and his team knew exactly how to maintain our vision throughout the many adjustments. We knew that this venue was for us from our very first visit to Aldworth. They seriously will go to such lengths to ensure that you have everything exactly as you hoped. Did I mention, Shane, the owner, was even fluffing my dress right before I walked down the aisle? Or Brendan, their awesome bartender, making me laugh just before I started walking down the aisle, leading to the most beautiful photos. Truly a weekend that I wish I could relive forever!

Aldworth Manor was the perfect location for our wedding this year, it was incredible! Our June date had gorgeous weather, the food was spectacular and our guests who stayed on property were thrilled with the accommodations. The professionalism of the staff and Shane went above and beyond making our weekend magical. It was like having our own private estate, I felt like I was on Downton Abbey! I hope to get back to the hill to celebrate our one year anniversary next summer.

Booking Aldworth Manor was an amazing experience all around! Needless to say, the manor and the grounds are gorgeous, but Shane, Erin, Brendon, Samantha, Nate, and all other staff were great to work with - attentive to questions earlier in the process and incredibly helpful weekend of our wedding. The onsite catering and bartending staff did fantastic work and allowed us the flexibility to customize the menu to our hearts’ content. The onsite lodging was cozy and so convenient! We especially loved how our booking spanned the entire weekend, giving our rehearsal dinner and wedding an especially intimate feel. We had the absolute best time at Aldworth, and we’ll be back for future tavern nights :)

My husband and I are so happy we got to celebrate our wedding at such a beautiful and special place as Aldworth Manor. Not only is the manor house and all of its grounds truly stunning, but the people who work there are filled with so much heart, and each of them were deeply committed to making our special day picture perfect. We had so many questions leading up to our big day, including some stressful last-minute permit questions from our tent rental company, but the team at Aldworth Manor was always there for us to answer questions, put us at ease, and ensure our wedding reception was as picture perfect as we could have dreamed. And indeed it was - we felt so lucky to spend such a beautiful day on this property which is so steeped in history and beauty. Our guests loved the location, and it was nice that many of them could stay on-property with us in Aldworth Manor's three guest houses. The property has been restored with so much love and care from the Long family and the rest of their amazing team. Every detail has been thought through, and their passion for the Manor, its people, and its visitors is apparent everywhere you look. Aldworth Manor feels like a small family business - they are non-corporate, dedicated to their employees and guests, and full of so much heart. They customize every wedding so that each couple experiences a celebration which is entirely unique and tailored to them, which is so special. We feel lucky to be able to return to this special place to enjoy their community restaurant Tavern Nights and special events throughout the year, and it will always have a special place in our hearts. We can't wait to keep returning again and again to catch up with the wonderful people who made our wedding day so special, and to take in the beauty and history of this special place!

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Shane and Aldworth Manor. From the first time we toured the property and met Shane, we knew this was the venue for us. The property is like something out of a Hallmark movie - literally. A historic building, lovingly renovated by a family to restore its character, charm, and beauty while preserving the historic integrity. Aldworth is the perfect combination of elegance run by a down-to-earth and welcoming family, that truly makes you feel like you’re a part of their family. The grounds are breathtaking and made for the most beautiful backdrop for our outdoor ceremony and wedding photos. We were fortunate to make a few trips to Aldworth before our wedding, and each time we were greeted like we were family visiting. Our decision to book Aldworth was constantly validated by the praises of the locals we came across, who couldn’t help but gush about the Long family, and the thoughtful & timely communication from Shane throughout the planning process. The weekend of our wedding (10/15/22) had the most beautiful weather, with the foliage really making a show. Having everything in one location, with everyone being able to stay on property, created an exclusive feel and facilitated a warm, welcoming, and intimate gathering for our friends and family. It was the best “reunion” weekend feeling. Everyone raved about the ability to stay on property, not having to drive, and how much they enjoyed getting to know one another & celebrating in the houses. It made it convenient for getting ready and organizing our weekend. The staff flawlessly delivered on our rehearsal dinner, wedding, and farewell brunch with ease; following the directions and vision I had for each event to be unique yet cohesive. The staff throughout the planning process and the weekend were helpful, friendly, and professional. Everything about our wedding at Aldworth was fantastic. We feel forever fortunate to have stumbled across this hidden gem and to now be a part of the Aldworth family. Shane, Tammy, and all the staff at Aldworth - THANK YOU!

Planning and hosting our wedding at Aldworth was a personalized journey from start to finish. One of the greatest aspects of hosting at Aldworth was the ability to have access to the property all weekend, and rent the on-site houses for our friends and family. Shane and team took great care to listen to our vision for the weekend, and it felt like we were able to execute everything that we wanted, how we wanted it.

My husband and I got married at the Aldworth Manor in September 2021 and it was truly the best day of our lives! I can't recommend the Aldworth enough or say enough good things about this venue and the staff. We toured the venue about two years in advance of our wedding date and booked it the following day after falling completely in love with it. We'd toured a few other venues before visiting the Aldworth, but they didn't feel comfortable to us or were kind of stuffy (or wildly overpriced). But Shane, the owner, is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet and instantly made us feel welcome, and took his time walking us around and explaining how everything worked with pricing, lodging, etc. The manor, the grounds, the views - they're all truly sublime in every way. We had two full years between when we booked the venue and our actual wedding date, but Shane was always available to answer questions or help with vendor recommendations. We also ended up booking the onsite lodging for our close family and bridal party and I'm SO glad we did! There was a ton of room for our guests, as well as outdoor space for relaxing the day after the wedding. Since we were all there for the entire weekend, it made it so easy to just walk up and down from the manor for the rehearsal/wedding/etc. and not have to worry about transportation for everyone and/or being on time. Would highly recommend booking the lodging onsite!The actual day of our wedding went off literally without a hitch. I'm the type of person who is easily stressed and can be a bit hard to please, but the whole day felt so seamless and relaxed! Shane's staff was incredibly helpful, polite and made everything feel so easy and effortless for us and our guests - and for that I'm forever grateful! Shane also handled the bar, where we had an open bar for our guests. He did a great job stocking the bar, making sure a variety of alcohol was available (our guests seemed thrilled by the variety/availability!). We also chose to do a signature cocktail (a paloma) and it was one of the best I've ever had! They were fresh-squeezing grapefruit juice all night long - I was so impressed!We also ended up going with their onsite caterer, Hilltop Kitchen, and they did a fantastic job on the food. We worked with Erin, the head chef, and she was so helpful and flexible in planning our menu and making it all work for us. They catered our rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, wedding reception and a farewell brunch the day after. All of the food was delicious and we got so many compliments on how good everything was! This venue is complete perfection - it really doesn't get better! Thank you Shane, Erin & staff for giving us a beautiful and truly unforgettable experience!

Our wedding at Aldworth was even better than I could have imagined! The venue is stunning, from the manor itself to the views overlooking Mount Monadnock. When I toured the venue, it was covered in snow, but even then I could tell that this was a special place. Our July wedding saw the grounds in full bloom--we barely needed additional flowers! Beyond the venue itself, the people at Aldworth are kind, understanding, and genuinely want you to have a special day. Shane was quick to offer us a new date in 2021 when our 2020 date had to be postponed due to COVID, and his flexibility made that difficult situation a lot less stressful. He and his team (shoutout to Tom!) made working a wedding all weekend look easy, from the rehearsal dinner to the farewell brunch. Shane clearly wears many hats as he also tended bar throughout the weekend (don't miss his aperol spritzes). Finally, though Aldworth allows you to choose your own caterer, his in-house caterer, Erin, was amazing to work with and made the most delicious food! Our guests went out of their way to tell us how much they loved dinner. We could not have asked for a better wedding venue or team.

Shane was quick to offer us a new date in 2021 when our 2020 date had to be postponed due to COVID, and his flexibility made that difficult situation a lot less stressful. He and his team (shoutout to Tom!) made working a wedding all weekend look easy, from the rehearsal dinner to the farewell brunch. Shane clearly wears many hats as he also tended bar throughout the weekend (don't miss his aperol spritzes). Finally, though Aldworth allows you to choose your own caterer, his in-house caterer, Erin, was amazing to work with and made the most delicious food! Our guests went out of their way to tell us how much they loved dinner. We could not have asked for a better wedding venue or team.

God where do I even begin! We honestly didn't even need to do a walk through to know this venue would be the place we would be married. Driving up the road to get to the venue is a cool windy road that leads to a clearing to reveal the most beautiful land and Tuscan like building that sits on top of a hill surrounded by fields of grass, flowers and butterflies. Truly breath taking and magical. With the venue comes three houses available to rent, which made for an all weekend stay for us and our closest friends and family. The venue and grounds themselves are so beautiful, the Long family that owns it put so much love and care into renovating it, and its obvious when you see it. It was such a joy to work with Shane and his whole team at Aldworth--we felt more like friends than family. After postponing due to COVID, we were beyond looking forward to celebrating and the whole weekend was just awesome. I still have friends and family talking about how amazing the venue was months after the wedding. We even plan on coming back up to rent a house for the holidays next year. Would recommend this place 1000 times over, you will not be disappointed! Thanks again Shane

The Aldworth Manor will always hold a special place in our hearts. We were lucky enough to be married on August 7th, 2021. Shane and his whole staff were amazing throughout the process. We had over a year to plan the wedding and Shane was happy to Facetime whenever we needed assistance or if we just needed to chat about the big day. There is so much to say about the venue itself. The manor’s exterior almost looks like something out of an Italian catalog. Shane does an amazing job with his flowers and landscaping which helps out with overall floral expenses depending on your aethstetic. The garden where we got married with the old mirror pool and columns makes for an amazing ceremony setting. The tea house is so cute for photos. The big side yard where the tent is placed makes for plenty of room for wedding big and small. The interior of the manor is just as amazing as the exterior. The great room where we held our rehearsal dinner is absolutely stunning, with the dark wood, and big mantle. This really gives off such a historic, timeless setting. Getting ready in the sun room was such a beautiful place to start the day and really allowed us to get to enjoy the manor for the whole weekend.The Aldworh also has three houses you can rent with the property. We were lucky enough to have the whole venue to ourselves for Friday, Saturday and half the day Sunday. We were able to have the majority of our friends and family on site with us and made for a very convenient and fun wedding weekend. This really created the weekend wedding, we envisioned. We were able to have all of our closest friends and family mingle and be by our sides the whole time. Having the manor be as beautiful as it was was such a bonus. Aldworth Manor really was the venue of our dreams, and created a lasting memory for our guests.Thanks again to Shane and the entire team for making our big day so special.

My husband and I got married at Aldworth Manor on 10/03/2020. We hosted the entire event outdoors due to Covid and it couldn't have been more perfect. I don't even know where to begin with how much we loved this location! This manor is honestly a little slice of heaven in NH. It feels like a villa that was plucked out of Tuscany, Italy. The views of the mountains are breathtaking. The grounds are insanely beautiful. Every time you turn a corner you come across another secret garden or charming little staircase - a dream for wedding photos. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing it was. The inside of the manor is decorated so well with antique furniture and art, making each and every space so gorgeous and cozy. (We were only indoors for bathroom access - but there were candles lite on every table which was such a thoughtful touch). Also, the staff and entire team at Aldworth is A+. Everyone was so kind and accommodating to our guests. The owner Shane is the BEST! He is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and so easy to work with. Shane was super responsive with all of our questions throughout the planning process leading up to the big day. He always made sure to check in and see if we needed anything. I can not recommend this venue enough!! It was an absolute DREAM come true and we feel so lucky our special day was at Aldworth Manor.

My husband and I got married at Aldworth Manor this past weekend and it was not only the most beautiful perfect venue but Shane was SO wonderful to work with and made my life very easy. He is very responsive to emails and calls and in the weeks leading up to the wedding he was happy to answer all a million of my questions. The pictures that we've gotten back from our photographer already came out absolutely stunning as Aldworth has so much natural beauty and a variety of locations that photograph so well. We were lucky to have timed the fall foliage perfectly (10/12) and all of the wedding guests commented on how it amazing of a location it was. Another thing we loved about the property was that there are three houses on the property. We turned them into a family house, a bridesmaids house, and a groomsmen house. Having the people that we love the most surrounding us for the entire weekend truly turned it into a destination wedding and a weekend long event.

The Aldworth Manor was a wonderful place to get married! The flowers were gorgeous, the manor itself is beautiful, the houses were homey and bright, and the staff was amazing! This place is really a paradise. Even if we weren’t getting married I think just spending a weekend here would have been quite special. As it was, our family and friends could enjoy the lovely venue- the flowers, the meadow, the blueberries, the grand rooms, the firepit- it was like a wonderfully fancy camp- sort of how I imagine heaven- all while celebrating our special day. In terms of our wedding the staff could not have been more perfect. They were calm, flexible and incredibly kind to us. They made us feel like guests at our wedding because they took care of the hosting duties seamlessly. They collaborated well with all vendors and took care of all set up of various activities throughout the weekend (concert, firepit, games, wedding ceremony, dinner, dancing, etc.). They also were quite receptive to how people were feeling and made sure to check in quietly throughout the weekend in case any adjustments needed to be made. Tom, one staff member even sat with the groom right before the ceremony just to kindly calm his nerves. Shane and his family have created a perfect place to get married and to gather with people you love.

Aldworth Manor has now become our favorite spot in New Hampshire! We fell in love when we visited the property looking at venues and could not have been happier now that our wedding weekend has passed. Not only does the location come with stunning views of Mt. Monadnock, everyone that works there is so warm, welcoming, and accommodating! Shane and Tammy were great at communicating prior to the event as well as on the day of. The amount of work they put into groundskeeping on top of the continued improvements to the estate is a testament to their diligence at providing the best possible venue for weddings and other events. We loved that we were able to have the venue for the entire weekend. Our bridal party stayed with us on the property, we had our rehearsal dinner inside the manor on Friday and hosted a Sunday brunch after the wedding in addition to our cocktail hour and reception on Saturday. And our guests could not stop gushing about how much they loved the property. We would recommend Aldworth Manor to anyone contemplating a magical venue for their wedding day!

I photographed a wedding at Aldworth Manor last weekend and am OBSESSED. It's my new favorite venue!!! I also photographed the welcome dinner the night before, so I had a lot of time to work with the staff and get to know them. In short, they are AWESOME and SO on top of it.The staff executed everything on time, and always had a smile on their face while doing it. They were so helpful with helping me arrange things for photos, alerting me when the room was set so that I could photograph it, and confident with a rain back up plan incase a storm came through. They even made sure I always had water-- and as a photographer running around for 10 hours directing photos and family members and probably losing my voice, that is a true gift.The building and grounds themselves are diverse, well kept up, and can fit a big group without feeling crowded or overwhelming. The view of Mount Monadnock is GORGEOUS and the manor has so many intricate, worn, artful details. If you're looking for a combination of upscale and down to earth with a Tuscany vibe, Aldworth Manor is the place.

My husband and I searched for a long time for the perfect wedding venue. I am an event planner by trade, so I had a very specific vision in mind and my husband shared in that as well. We are really into wine and were hoping to find a winery in the greater New England area for our wedding, but having traveled to Italy and Napa and Sonoma County recently prior, nothing in this area really compared. That is, until we found the Aldworth on a whim while continuing our extensive online search where we thought we had seen it all! Especially everything in NH which is where my husband and I were both born. As soon as I stumbled across the photos, we both knew it was the one. It looked exactly the the Villas in Italy, surrounded by the most beautiful backdrop of Monadnock Mountain where my husband and his family had been going their entire lives. As if the venue wasn’t perfect enough on its own, we then realized it was only 20 minutes from my Husband’s hometown of Keene. We figured if we couldn’t bring our wedding to a winery we were going to bring a winery to our wedding and this was just the backdrop to do so. We went to see it as soon as we could (admittedly before we even got engaged..like I said, I’m a planner!) and it surpassed our greatest expectations in person. It’s hard not to gasp at its beauty when you drive up this long dirt road in the middle of small-town Harrisville. Shane and his mom Tammy, met us with open arms and walked us around the property and we fell in love with them and the grounds minute by minute and the rest was history. My only worry that day, was that this hidden gem was starting to quickly become less and less hidden and there would be no dates left for us by the time we got engaged and got to planning. But a few weeks later my (then) fiancé surprised me with a beautiful proposal with a gorgeous ring and the news that he had already booked the Aldworth for the following September! From then on, Shane and the entire family were a dream to work with. They were so warm, welcoming and accommodating to us and my millions of questions and multiple visits throughout the next year and a half. The venue is DIY so you need to be up for the task but it also makes things completely your own so I was able to still make the venue feel like the winery we always wanted with help from decor and some creativity! It also helps to keeps costs down. Shane does have a list of great vendors if you need suggestions. As soon as guests arrived on our wedding weekend, they fell in with the Aldworth as quickly as we had and the best part was having our bridal party stay on property all weekend so we never had to go anywhere and it was the best experience we could have asked for! Thank you is not enough for these gracious people and their magical slice of heaven they have created in Harrisville!

The venue is absolutely stunning and to top it off the host, Shane, is top notch. We spent a year looking for a location and ended up at the Aldworth Manor for it's classic and timeless beauty, large and flexible spaces, and ability to provide a sense of comfort and lightness. The venue is already beautiful as-is, with no added decorations or flowers. There's plenty of natural floral and vegetation thoughtfully arranged throughout the venue by Shane. The available guest homes were a very special bonus to this Venue as it allowed for my wife and I to have both a traditional Vietnamese ceremony and American ceremony in the same day! The guest homes are very well kept and have ample room and amenities. I would recommend staying the night before the wedding and even on the day of. My wife and I did this and it made our wedding experience extremely manageable and enjoyable.What can we say about Shane? He is without a doubt one of the best in his industry. What an absolute professional, imaginative, patient, kind, happy, respectful, and understanding host. He was always on time and warm to receive us. He helped out with much of the venue layout, flow, and coordination. The American-Vietnamese wedding was a first at the Aldworth and Shane was extremely patient and understanding of our wants and needs. We worked very closely and never butted heads - it was such an enjoyable experience. He respected our opinions and gave us his trust. He was very patient, especially considering there were many fist time things that we wanted to do at the Aldworth. Thank you Shane for an amazing wedding!!!

Shane and his family were absolutely amazing! I could not have asked for a better group of people- and venue- to help us have the absolutely best weekend of our life. Shane was extremely helpful from the moment we first looked at the manor until our big day. He was responsive, respectful of our opinions and thoughts, and truly caring. I cannot say enough how many family members and guests mentioned how great he was. Even though we had thunderstorms and rain, he was on his weather app or looking out for us to make sure we were all set! Another big person to review was Tammy. She was so energetic and truly wanted to get to know you and your thoughts. Her and Shane could not have been more respectful and accommodating throughout the whole time we were there! Truly the best venue! Thank you Shane, Tammy, and the rest of your staff for helping make it the best weekend of our life! :)

Shane and his family were absolutely amazing! I could not have asked for a better group of people- and venue- to help us have the absolutely best weekend of our life. Shane was extremely helpful from the moment we first looked at the manor until our big day. He was responsive, respectful of our opinions and thoughts, and truly caring.

Absolutely stunning views! We stayed at the smaller house for New Years and I can't believe how comfortably it fit six families. There was a nice trail we explored. Very quiet. The proprietor(s) were so friendly and welcoming.

Aldworth Manor was the perfect venue for our wedding and reception! The classic charm of a place with so much history was a beautiful backdrop. Shane, Tammy, and the whole Aldworth crew were very helpful and caring. Some of the initial plans were sidelined due to construction/remodel constraints but Shane and Tammy were excellent to work with and adapt the plan to work for us!The majority of our wedding party and family stayed at the Lodge and the Red House which was perfect! Both houses are in easy walking distance to the venue, and we got some awesome pictures of me and the bridal party walking up to the ceremony.I highly recommend Aldworth Manor for not only weddings, but family gatherings, photoshoots, and any other occasion where you want the old-school glamour of the manor and natural beauty of the NH foothills.

Aldworth is a DREAM! All the guests from our wedding could not get over how gorgeous the location was. Even our photographers and videographers commented on Aldworth Manor's beauty. During my search for a venue, I came to realize that there are many places with spectacular views, but what set Aldworth apart from the rest were the owners. Shane and Tammy are absolutely wonderful!! They really pay attention to your needs and are there to help in any way. We WILL be back and we are already looking forward to a future celebration at Aldworth!!

The Aldworth Manor was an amazing venue to hold our wedding. When booking the manor we had it for the entire weekend so our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception were all held at the manor. Our reception was held in a tent on the back lawn with grand views of Mt. Monadnock. We also rented out the lodge an 11 bedroom facility with multiple baths, living room, dining rooms and kitchen for the entire weekend. This was a huge plus for our guests as they were able to walk to and from the festivities. The grounds and views at Aldworth Manor are stunning. It ended up raining on our wedding day and although we planned for an outdoor ceremony with a cocktail hour for our guests to peruse through the grounds and enjoy all Aldworth has to offer, Shane was very helpful in finding an alternative location at the manor to hold the ceremony that was absolutely gorgeous. Even though it was cold and raining all of our guests had a great time and that was largely due to the hard work an effort by the Long family to make sure no amount of bad weather could stop our day. Through every step of the process, especially last minute when mother nature changed our plans, Shane and his family were there with us making sure the show went off without a hitch. The amount of help, input and reassurance were beyond what we could image. Enough can't be said about how amazing it was to work with the crew at Aldworth Manor. They truly made sure our day was special.

Aldworth Manor provided us the perfect backdrop for an amazing wedding weekend! Shane, Tammy and the rest of the folks at Aldworth were attentive in making sure all of our needs were met. The flexibility of being able to choose all of our vendors, and having use of the property for the entire weekend (not just Saturday evening) made it so that we could truly enjoy a full weekend with our guests. We had a full welcome party on the grounds instead of a formal \"rehearsal dinner\" on Friday, and then enjoyed a beautiful outdoor ceremony and tented reception on Saturday. With our whole wedding party staying at the \"lodge\" on the grounds, it made for a wonderful afterparty without anyone having to go very far too! The grounds and landscaping are stunning, and the scenery will only continue to improve as the Long family has more time to work on it. Truly a hidden (not for long) gem that will only get better with time.
