Discover The Lake Estate on Winnisquam — Tilton’s Stunning New Wedding Destination

I think this is going to soon be a top of the area venue! I am very excited to add this one to my blog list! And will be added to lakeside venue list as well!

If you’re looking for a brand new wedding venue that combines lakeside charm, modern luxury, and New England beauty, then The Lake Estate on Winnisquam in Tilton, NH is something special. Just opened as of September 2025, this venue is already turning heads — here’s everything you need to know.

What Makes The Lake Estate on Winnisquam Unique

• Location & Setting: Situated on Lake Winnisquam with 3,400 linear feet of private shoreline, this resort-venue is set on 36 acres of landscaped grounds including gardens, orchards, and natural woodland. Perfect for couples who want the lake, trees, and open sky in their wedding photos.

• Elegant Lodging: 114 guest rooms (96 rooms + 18 suites), many with lake views, balconies/patios, fireplaces in suites, great natural lighting, and modern luxury touches. Ideal if you want your guests to stay on-site.

• Variety of Event Spaces: Indoor and outdoor options — spacious ballroom, Great Lawn, “The Point” (a private lakeside preserve), an apple orchard, private beaches, gardens, etc. So it works if you want an intimate gathering or a large celebration.

• Amenities Galore: Spa & wellness center, infinity pool + hot tubs, heated mineral spa, gardens & orchards, two private beaches, pickleball & tennis courts. It’s not just a venue; it’s a full-resort experience.

• Capacity & Pricing: The venue can host weddings up to ~220 guests in the ballroom. Pricing starts with event / rental fees of at least ~$8,000 (depending on season/day) plus additional fees depending on size/package.

Why It’s a Great Option for Couples

• All-in-one wedding weekend: With lodging on site, spa services, beaches & gardens, most things are under one roof (or property). This can ease guest logistics and make planning smoother.

• Picturesque vistas: Lake + mountain views, multiple outdoor ceremony locations, natural lighting, landscaped grounds — great backdrop for photos, especially sunrise/sunset.

• Flexible & modern: Multiple event spaces allow you to mix indoor/outdoor, large or intimate. The design is luxe but not overly formal, which appeals to many couples.

• Luxury amenities: If comfort, relaxation, and guest experience matter to you (spa, upscale dining, etc.), this venue delivers.

What to Consider / Things to Ask

• Peak season booking: Summer-through-fall (May-October) will probably fill up fast. If you want a prime date, reach out early.

• Weather backup plans: Even with beautiful outdoors, always check indoor contingency (ballroom, covered patios, etc.).

• Travel & guest lodging: Though many rooms are on site, check how many guests you have out of town and whether nearby accommodations are sufficient.

• Cost transparency: Beyond base rental fees, ask about what’s included (tables, chairs, linens, white glove service, rehearsal, etc.) so there are no surprise costs.

• Vendor restrictions & offerings: Do they require using their in-house catering / bar? Do they work with outside vendors? What’s their vendor list?
