The Works Café

We LOVE a breakfast date at Sawyers. We especially recommend the biscuits and gravy but you can't beat a classic 2-2-2 (2 eggs, 2 toast, 2 meat).

Sawyer's Main Street Breakfast & Function Hall

This is one of our favorite date night locations! We especially enjoy the patio if it's not too cold.

Putnam's Waterview Restaurant

Not only is this a fantastic allergy-friendly option, but this is where Isaac and I had our second date! We spent so long at the restaurant we had 2 separate servers.

Best Vegan food you'll find around!

NH is weird! If you're a political nerd, we recommend a tour of our state house where you can learn about the vote that gave us "Live Free or Die"

New Hampshire State House

If you have time for a day trip - you can't beat this telephone museum. It's small but jam-packed with telephones from across the centuries as well as switch board demonstrations!

Make That Game! A Game Design Podcast

Claire and Isaac came up with the idea to start a video game podcast early on in their relationship. It was 2021, what else are you going to do? The original concept was that Isaac was the game design expert and Claire didn't know a lot, so he would take her on a game design journey. But she actually learned too fast! By the time the podcast officially launched in February of 2022, the format was about pitching game ideas to each other. It's a riot! By the wedding, "Make That Game" will be more than 3 years old! Because of how special it is to the couple, they will be performing a live recording of their first married podcast episode in lieu of a first dance. <a href="https://lnkfi.re/makethatgame" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts</a>

We livestream video games once a month. Check here for the updated times. 

The next stream will be Saturday, Mar 29th at 11:30am

The NH Audubon

We are so lucky to be getting married at such a unique place! You can learn more about the NH Audubon and all their amazing work <a href="https://nhaudubon.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>. As a nature preserve, there are some specific rules we have to follow, such as no smoking of any kind anywhere on the premises. Music will also be kept slightly lower than your average wedding.

Animals to Meet!

You will have a few animals that you can meet during our wedding! The Audubon is home a few (3-4) raptors that you can visit in a close-by wing to the reception area. The birds remain in their enclosures. The reptile room will also be open to visitors (opt in only, don't worry!) which includes turtles, snakes, as well as ethical taxidermy of many species from the area.&nbsp;

Accessability

The venue has minimal steps and the event will be all on the ground floor. Restrooms are indoors. The ceremony will take place outdoors in the grass and the cocktail hour and reception will be indoors. The Audubon has both heating and AC so we will be comfortable no matter what May weather brings us! Though there will be animals around, there will never be a time where you have to interact with one. It's your choice! The parking lot and ceremony space are both very close to the indoor section of the venue. There will be bagpipes during the ceremony, which may be loud as they are basically one set volume, but after that the music will all be played through venue speakers (no DJ or subwoofers of any kind). You can read more about venue accessibility <a href="https://nhaudubon.org/center-and-events/accessibility/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.

Artwork

The Audubon center features a rotating gallery of local artists in the reception space. We're excited to announce that our very own father of the bride, Pierre Garand, will be exhibiting during the time of the wedding! You can see more about Pierre's work on his<a href="https://nhaudubon.org/center-and-events/accessibility/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Facebook page</a> or at <a href="https://www.photographsbypierre.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">his website</a>.
