What to Wear

On our special day, it's our wish for everyone to be comfortable and enjoy themselves. When deciding what to wear, remember that this is a garden wedding--a button-down shirt, polo, sundress or slacks will do just fine. Formal wedding attire is just not practical for our home in the woods.

Also, because we are situated on a hillside, the terrain can be rather rugged. We strongly recommend leaving high-heeled shoes at home in favor of footwear that will provide sturdy footing on the gravel/dirt/sand that you will encounter on our property. Otherwise, it's quite possible that you may not make it down our driveway…

As our wedding nears, keep an eye on the weather in Sugar Hill, NH, as it can change quite rapidly--and will likely be pretty chilly in the evening.

Where to Eat

There are lots of restaurant options in the White Mountains, but to say they're hidden may be an understatement. Here are a few options we've found (so far) that will satisfy your hunger in the North Country.

Littleton:

Your best bet for a variety of food options is to hit up the larger town of Littleton, about 2o minutes away. You'll find chain restaurants (Applebees, Ninety Nine, etc.) and local dining establishments. Some of our favorite local hotspots are:

Alburritos – A Mexican joint in northern New Hampshire?! It’s true. And it's goooood. They even have a nice selection of local brew on tap. Go there.

Miller's Cafe & Bakery - Fresh soups, salads, sandwiches and bakery items. Open for lunch year-round. Eat out on the back deck! You're right next to Littleton's Riverwalk Covered Bridge and just above the mighty Ammonoosuc river.

Chang Thai Cafe - Traditional Thai cuisine with a dash of contemporary flair. 77 Main Street.

Sugar Hill:

Polly’s Pancake House –Stop by this delicious pancake house for breakfast one clear morning. The view is to die for (and the food isn’t bad either)! It’s a tourist hotspot, so expect a crowd. Snap some family portraits outside while you wait. Absolutely stunning scenery!

Melanie's Bistro at the Ammonoosuc Inn - Beautiful setting, and a delicious, seasonal menu. Make your reservation online now. 641 Bishop Rd., Lisbon.

Franconia:

The Horse & Hound Inn - This beautiful inn offers good food, and indoor & outdoor seating, at the base of Cannon Mountain. Tucked away on a beautiful road lined with pine trees...it's well worth the visit.

Wendle's Deli & Cafe - Organic/local salads and sandwiches. Vegan/veggie/gluten concious.

Franconia Seafood and Dairy Bar – Sure it’s a strange name, but with items like lobster rolls (when in season), hamburgers, fried fish sandwiches and ice cream, how can you go wrong?

Above the Notch Restaurant & Tavern at Cannon Mountain View Motel - good food, Friday night music, and views of Gale River and Cannon Mountain.

Dutch Treat –Restaurant/bar that doesn’t look like much, but dishes up surprisingly good food!

About Our Wedding

Justin’s cousin Eric is flying in from California to spend a week mountain biking with us...and he'll also be officiating our ceremony. This is why we love him!

A reception will immediately follow. Expect good music, gourmet food from the former chef of the Sunset Hill House and top quality local brew from the Moat Mountain Brewery in North Conway, NH. Homemade Italian cookies (Beth's grandmom) and wedding cake (Justin's mom) will be the highlights of dessert.

Keep in mind that this is quite literally a mountainside ceremony/reception (see photo for proof). You will need to walk up and down a steep gravel driveway to get to and from the festivities. We encourage you to wear appropriate shoes. (Ladies: high-heels are not a good idea!)

As for the weather, September in the mountains can go either way. Keep an eye on the weather (zip code 03586) and bring layers, as it will most likely get chilly as the night goes on, even if it’s warm during the day. We don't want you to leave our wedding early because you didn’t pack a sweater!
