    Our wedding

    Katrina made our experience of planning a wedding flawlessly done. She was so relaxing and reassuring that everything will be exactly how we wanted it to be and it was just that! She was the exact type of demeanor I needed when planning our wedding since I am NOT the planning type. She made our experience very smooth!

    NYE weekend wedding

    Katrina was amazing. I work with a lot of wedding/event coordinators for my job and Katrina was by far the best. She was so organized and had everything ready at the drop of an hat. Her calm demeanor really helped any nerves I would have had.

    The venue was beautiful and the food was amazing. Everyone still talks about how the food was the best they ever had at any wedding.

    Wentworth Wedding Weekend

    We got married at the Wentworth by the Sea Hotel in November 2023. We had a wonderful experience from the planning stages to enjoying the weekend itself! Katrina and her team were a pleasure to work with. She was organized, professional, flexible, and available throughout the whole process. She was easily accessible and always willing to either email or call to answer our many questions throughout the planning stages. We greatly appreciate all your help!

    The hotel is a beautiful location for a wedding. Given the time of year we only took advantage of the indoor amenities. Both the Grand and Wentworth Ballroom were beautiful locations for the ceremony and reception. Everything flowed together nicely, and Katrina helped to make the entire experience as stress free as possible. We used many local vendors who were very familiar with the Wentworth which also added to the ease of planning, as Katrina and many of our vendors work together often. The majority of our guests stayed on the property as well and enjoyed the comfortable rooms. The bridal party spent the morning of the wedding getting ready in the Townhouse suites which was super helpful to have the kitchen and lots of natural light being on the water. All the food was delicious and the hotel bar is a great spot to continue the celebration! If you're looking for a timeless venue that creates a destination wedding vibe, Wentworth by the Sea is a great choice.

    Thank you Katrina and the rest of the Wentworth by the Sea staff for your hospitality. We have nothing but wonderful memories of our weekend celebrating at the Wentworth surrounded by our family and friends!

    A magical wedding experience with five-star food and service

    My daughter and her fiance started planning their wedding more than a year ahead of time. Along the way, the hotel changed ownership and our initial wedding coordinator (whom we loved) moved on. But, we cannot offer enough high praise for the Wentworth Inn by the Sea and especially for Katrina Williams (the new coordinator) and her team. They were friendly, responsive, calm and highly professional. They can't possibly be compensated enough for the courtesy they extended to our family and friends and for their ability to gracefully overcome a few glitches that happened along the way.

    We are giving them five stars because of the exquisite food and service they provided for our event which included 157 guests. We held our ceremony and reception at the Wentworth and, even though it poured rain on our wedding day, the Inn and the atmosphere seemed even more charming and intimate. We purchased the Little Harbor Wedding package and went with several of the recommended vendors. Everyone did a fabulous job - the flowers, the phographer, the lighting, the cake, everything came together beautifully. We also sprang for a string quartet and trolley service for our guests staying downtown and those vendors were also top notch. But the appetizers, the dinner and the service were out of this world. We had so many compliments from our guests saying it was a ten out of ten experience. Thank you so much to Katrina Williams and the staff of the Wentworth and all the vendors we worked with. We started out feeling overwhelmed about our options and ended up having a magical experience where our family and friends mingled, danced and celebrated with us. My daughter and her new husband said it was the best day of our lives.

    June Wedding Weekend

    We had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Wentworth by the Sea in June 2023, and had an incredible experience. Throughout the whole process Katrina was was kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. The venue itself is beautiful, both the stunning ballroom & impeccably kept gardens were the perfect backdrop for our day.

    The staff was incredibly professional, and they added special touches throughout the weekend that made our celebration truly unforgettable. Despite some rain early in the day, the valets, bellmen, and staff worked tirelessly to ensure that everyone, especially the older women and the bride, were comfortable and taken care of. Katrina was able to quickly and flawlessly pull together our sunny garden ceremony in the afternoon after said rainstorms.

    Our guests were blown away by the fantastic food & staff ensured the bride & groom had food & drink throughout the night. The farewell breakfast we hosted the next day was the perfect end to the weekend, with exceptional food and attentive service once again.

    I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. If you're looking for a place that will make your wedding weekend feel like a dream come true, look no further. A huge thank you to Katrina and the entire team for making our wedding so special!

    Amazing and Beautiful

    I am so thankful that we chose the Wentworth by the Sea as our wedding venue. The service, attention to detail, staffing, the ballroom, etc etc were all amazing and everything looked incredibly beautiful. They really outdid themselves with capturing the vision I wanted and ensuring it was everything I expected. We loved the Wentworth so much that we’re going to celebrate our 1st anniversary as a married couple there. I highly recommend!

    Spectacular! Beautiful venue with outstanding service and food.

    The Wentworth Hotel was an elegant setting for our wedding. The white glove service for the dinner was lovely and the food outstanding. We had an open bar which was never crowded. The wedding coordinator was incredibly organized and kept the event moving along beautifully. We would love to return to the Wentworth for any event.

    Amazing Venue

    I am so HAPPY we chose WBTS for our wedding venue. WBTS and my wedding coordinator Laura Abraham truly know how to plan a wedding down to the last detail. Everyone we encountered at the Wentworth was absolutely amazing. We wish we could relive the day all over again! Cannot recommend WBTS for a wedding venue enough. The best decision we made!

    Extraordinary wedding venue!

    The Wentworth by the Sea Hotel and Resort is the most magical place to have a wedding! We could not have been happier with our wedding weekend. Laura Abraham was wonderful to work with-- from the very first meeting to the night of the reception, she gave us good advice, was patient with our questions, and ably managed all of the details of an on-site ceremony and reception. Our guests were so impressed with the hotel, the service, the food, and the location. Laura checked on us during the wedding day, sent champagne and chocolates to the wedding suite, and generally made us feel special the entire weekend. We knew we were in good hands! We were a little concerned that pandemic-related staffing shortages might impact our celebration, but this was definitely not the case. All of the staff were terrific. We highly recommend this venue! You will not be disappointed.

    Perfection!

    My daughter was married on 10/9/21 at Immaculate Conception Church and the reception was at Wentworth By The Sea. The entire staff deserves a shout out, they all did an unbelievable job on the entire weekend…especially Laura, our coordinator. Laura was on top of everything from the hotel rooms being ready early, making sure everyone got their guest bags and even coordinating shuttle service to the other hotels for the guests to have a safe ride home after a night of celebrating. Laura made sure that every vision I had come to fruition. The food was outstanding….from the raw bar to the late night snacks everything was so good. All of the guests said they had never been to a wedding reception that had food this fabulous, everyone was stuffed! Every single detail was perfect. I’ve got a touch of OCD when it comes to details and the execution of them and I never once worried, I was able to enjoy every minute of my daughter’s wedding day and Laura made sure of it!

    Amazing Wedding!

    Our wedding at Wentworth by the Sea was everything we had hoped for. Personally, I am not the type of bride who was looking forward to the wedding planning process, however, Wentworth by the Sea made it SO easy and their provided vendors were all excellent . Laura was very supportive throughout the entire process and made sure everything was right. We were sad to say "bye" to her at the end of the night! If you want to have a beautiful wedding that is stress-free, do not think twice!

    Wedding of our Dreams at Wentworth by the Sea

    The Wentworth by the Sea Hotel and its team led by Laura Abraham Long gave us the wedding of our dreams. The venue is gorgeous, the food was spectacular, and the staff service was superb. We got married in the beautiful garden and our reception was in the spectacular Grand Ballroom. Our guests are still raving about all of it, including about the Signature White Glove Presidential Service. Laura, the Wentworth’s catering director, provided excellent advice every step along the way and patiently and quickly responded to all of our questions and concerns. It was like having our own personal wedding planner! And she and the staff were exceptionally sensitive to COVID concerns, helping to ensure the health and safety of our guests. We purchased a package and the Wentworth’s vendors for the cake, flowers, and escort & table cards also were excellent, extremely professional, and responsive to all of our questions. Our Justice of the Peace, Mary Carey Foley, who also is recommended by the Wentworth, was a continuously poised, charismatic, and inspirational presence. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and experience.

    The most amazing staff & venue

    Working with the Wentworth was one of the best choices we made with regard to our wedding by far. Laura and her team not only made the day as seamless and enjoyable as possible, but they also made us feel like they were personally invested in us and our day. My mom is extremely health compromised and Laura and her staff went above and beyond to make sure that she was well taken care of and looked after, which was one of the best ways they could have taken care of my (now) husband and me. For every single component of this process, from suggesting vendors, to responsiveness and complete partnership in building out our wedding, to the incredible food, service, presentation, and attention to detail, Laura and her staff went above and beyond at every single turn. They truly helped make our day as special and memorable and delightful as possible, and they really cared for us. We couldn’t be more grateful to them! The venue itself is also stunning, with beautiful photo opportunities both in the gardens and down by the marina, as well as stunning ballroom options for the reception! We will be coming back to celebrate anniversaries here, as our day was just that special and the team was just that good. We cannot recommend them enough!!

    Most perfect wedding we ever could have asked for at The Wentworth by the Sea

    It has taken me a long time to write this review, because I couldn’t really find the perfect words to explain how happy I am that we chose this venue.

    The Wentworth by the Sea absolutely exceeded my expectations on what I always pictured to be my dream wedding. After looking at a few other venues, when I toured the Wentworth & met with Laura, (director of catering) my mind was instantly made up on where I wanted our perfect wedding to take place.

    I cannot say enough good things about this venue and everyone who was in attendance has said it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to.

    To this day, almost 3 months later, guests are still telling me how they can’t stop thinking of the food at our wedding and how they cannot wait to book a weekend away at the Wentworth just to go back.

    My husband and I got married on a Friday, and from the second we arrived at the hotel on Wednesday we were treated like royalty.

    We opted for a 2 bedroom marina suite (which I would highly recommend). When you walk in the door it has a beautiful kitchen and living area with balcony doors and a balcony straight ahead over looking the water. There is a stair case leading up to the first bathroom, and then a few more stairs up & you’re on the top floor, which includes a first bedroom and the master suite with another bathroom & balcony. It was absolutely gorgeous and the perfect spot for 9+ girls to get ready the day of the wedding.

    We ordered room service a few times, which we all know can be awful. It tasted like they rushed it straight from the kitchen to our room. It was unbelievably good.

    The day of our wedding, everything was effortless. I could not believe how beautiful the ballroom looked, and how perfect everything went down, despite having to cut our rehearsal short due to downpours.

    I have to mention that none of this would be possible without Laura A. She was more than I could have asked for in a “wedding coordinator”. Planning a wedding during Covid was not easy, it was stressful & uncertain and Laura constantly kept me in the loop of the ever changing mandates and was never ever misleading with me. She never told me what she “thought” was going to happen, she just gave me the straight facts. When we finally found out we could have our entire guest list of almost 200 people, Laura called to tell me the good news and I actually cried on the phone with her. During our wedding, I was very nervous & anxious before walking down the aisle and Laura kept assuring me how beautiful I looked & that I would be okay. She felt more like family by the end of our wedding than just someone who helped plan it.

    I will end this by saying … my whole life I have thought about what my wedding day (and weekend) would look like…. And the Wentworth by the Sea made it all possible & more. I would highly recommend this venue to any bride looking for a perfect wedding.

    This is your venue!

    Not only is this venue absolutely stunning, but the packages, the entire staff, the grounds, the ballroom, the guest rooms, the food, every bit this hotel has to offer makes it the perfect location for your dream day.

    Laura Abraham Long and her fantastic team of professionals at WBTS truly made planning a wedding feel both manageable and incredibly fun. Laura provides world class service, advice and guidance, support, comfort and SO much more throughout every step of the wedding planning process. She is prompt, understanding, open, a listening ear, kind and so knowledgeable. She also helped us through three date changes and throughout the entire COVID pandemic which was so reassuring and appreciated.

    Beyond Laura, the entire team remained by our side throughout the entire wedding weekend and cared for our every need. I had no idea that we would not only be pampered but cared for by all. From the housekeepers, to the valet team, every employee knew we were "the guests of honor" as they call it and made us feel so special. From the bottom of our hearts, we know that our wedding day was a dream come true all thanks to this incredible venue. We are eternally grateful and wish we could do it all over again!!

    Best decision choosing The Wentworth !!

    We made the BEST decision choosing Wentworth by the Sea! Working with Laura Abraham Long was an absolute dream. She is a TOP-NOTCH Professional who guided us with her years of expertise, knowledge and happy demeanor all the time. She perfected the "attention to detail" phrase. She always made us feel special. The Wentworth's outstanding food and beverage selections are highly recommended. The wide variety of appetizers and entrees to choose from are fabulous and delicious. The Maine Scallops Wrapped in Bacon and the Mini Beef Wellingtons are a must have! Everyone from our Wedding had nothing but praise for the incredible Duet (Filet and Lobster Tail) - it was DELICIOUS!! The Signature White Glove Presidential Service of the dinner was spectacular to watch. Every detail, from glass of champagne to all Guests on arrival after the ceremony, to the beautiful Wentworth Ballroom - everything was absolutely magical. We had our Wedding Ceremony on the Property in the Garden which was so beautiful and felt like a dream come true. Every staff member was extremely accommodating and a pleasure to work with. We can't say enough how absolutely wonderful and elegant our wedding was at the Wentworth. We chose the Little Harbour package and felt it was a excellent value for everything we received. We had ZERO issues with anything - 100% perfection!! We would do it all over again hands down.

    Absolutely beautiful & perfect summer wedding at the Wentworth!

    We had the most elegant, wonderful, and beautiful summer wedding at the Wentworth by the Sea Hotel during July of 2021. Laura Abraham is absolutely incredible at working with brides, grooms, and their families to ensure that they have the most perfect wedding day. In addition to being exceptionally organized, proactive, and responsive, Laura is such an incredibly kind person and truly makes each couple feel special throughout the wedding planning process. We met Laura in the fall of 2018 shortly after we were engaged and initially planned a summer of 2020 wedding. Having to navigate through truly uncharted territory, Laura was there for us continuously during the uncertainty of spring of 2020, when we ultimately made the decision to postpone our wedding to July of 2021. Throughout the entire pandemic leading up to our wedding Laura was always so calm, understanding, and empathetic which meant to much to us. Once the day of our wedding finally arrived, after so much anticipation it was absolutely perfect.

    From the evening my family checked into the hotel the night before the wedding, Laura was present to make sure everything was going well. Given the many meetings we had leading up to the day, I felt incredibly at ease knowing that everything would be handled for us on our wedding day. Knowing Laura had all of the details mapped out made the getting ready process that day go incredibly smoothly. Even as I departed for the ceremony at the church Laura was there to see myself, my family, and my bridesmaids as we departed in the limo. She kept track of every special moment to ensure things were going smoothly, even before the reception began. Later on, prior to the reception, even as we had some struggles with bustling my dress Laura managed to bring calm to what could have been a stressful situation and was there to support me. In addition to Laura, her staff is outstanding. Just prior to the reception, Laura introduced us to her colleague Ivy, who stayed with us throughout the night to ensure we had everything we needed. Ivy was exceptional to work with as well and partnered with Laura to continue to make sure we had the best evening possible.

    The reception was absolutely flawless and was more wonderful than we ever could imagined. The Grand Ballroom at the Wentworth is the ballroom we held our reception in, and it is incredibly beautiful. There are gorgeous chandeliers throughout the room which creates a regal, charming atmosphere. We had around 92 guests and the room fit this group incredibly comfortably. For couples looking to have more than this number of guests there was certainly plenty of room to expand beyond this number. The food was so incredibly decadent. Our guests to this day still comment on how they've never been to a wedding with such delicious food. Family and friends still comment on how at the cocktail the hors d'oeuvres were never-ending, refreshing, and very filling. Both us and our guests were even more so impressed by the dinner. So many of our guests have noted how the filet mignon and lobster tail combination was outstanding, and that the filet melted in their mouth. The white glove service was also superb - friends and family still to this day comment on how exceptional that service was and how incredible it was to watch the servers in unison.

    Following the dinner, the rest of the night went incredibly smoothly. After the reception concluded we didn't have to worry about anything. Laura's team masterfully packed up all of our personal belongings for safekeeping until the next day.

    The worst part of the night was when it ended! We wanted the reception to go on and on, and still to this day wish we could go back in time to enjoy the best day of our lives again.

    Laura Abraham and her team at the Wentworth by the Sea Hotel are amazing. The venue is incredible - what more can you ask for than a stunning historic hotel set beside the beautiful New Hampshire seacoast? For any couples looking for the perfect venue - look no further. You will not regret your decision to have your wedding at the Wentworth by the Sea! We wish we could be in your shoes and relive the wonderful experience all over again!

    Dream Wedding Venue

    I cannot say enough about the Wentworth team! I grew up in Portsmouth and it was a dream of mine as a little girl to have my wedding at the Wentworth one day! Laura and her team turned my dream into reality and they made it the PERFECT day for us.

    Through the ups and downs of COVID and a reschedule of our wedding, plus navigating planning a wedding from 3000 miles away, Laura was right by our side to give us all of the information we needed to make the best decision for us as a couple and ensure we still had the dream wedding we had hoped for. All things considered, it was a smooth planning process thanks to the trust we built with Laura and her team and that made the day of that much easier too.

    Then the wedding weekend came! As soon as we walked through the doors to check-in to our room, the 5-star service started. The team at the Wentworth was so attentive to our needs and our guests needs. We all truly felt special. And it only got better the day of. All of my nerves disappeared as soon as I met our day of staff. They were so attentive and went out of their way to make sure every need was met and every question was answered. It truly was a remarkable, seamless, smooth, carefree, and joyous day thanks in large part to the staff at the Wentworth! I thought I was going to be an anxious, nervous bride but the anxiety and nerves never showed up because I knew we would be well taken care of. Not to mention the venue itself is just GORGEOUS! The history, the water views, the elegance of the venue - it's stunning.

    Highly, highly, highly recommend the Wentworth for a reception venue!

    Wedding Review

    I would give this venue 10-stars if I could!!! There is no other establishment where you will receive as OUTSTANDING of an experience for your wedding day, other than Wentworth by the Sea! The staff is beyond EXCEPTIONAL! Every single member of their team makes you, your family and friends feel welcome and relaxed, each hour of your stay! Ask for Laura, who is in charge of it all, and she will make sure your special day is nothing short of PERFECTION! She is the most wonderful, professional and helpful person you will ever come across to help you plan the most important day of your life! I was so IMPRESSED with Wentworth by the Sea, that in the future, I will have every memorable event at this hotel, whether it be an anniversary, a weekend away, a birthday... they had that big of a memorable impact on myself and my fiancé! Look no further, this is the ONLY place to celebrate your wedding!

    1/1/21 Wentworth Wedding Weekend

    Laura and her team are incredible! Planning a wedding during a pandemic is hard but Laura was honest, transparent, and understanding of the difficult situation. They helped us navigate a safe and intimate wedding for our closest friends and family. It was truly a perfect day and I'm so grateful for the Wentworth team! The recommended vendors including Jardiniere Flowers, C-Zone Entertainment, Jacques Pastries, and Portsmouth Invitation Company were all a pleasure to work with and it was really helpful that they had worked with the Wentworth team for past events. Some vendors had also collaborated with the office staff at the church and it felt like they came together as a unified team to take care of every detail allowing me to feel at ease on my wedding day.

    We did have out of town guests and family members who were not comfortable with traveling during the peak of the Covid pandemic in January (we got married on 1/1/21), but we are already planning on a reunion at the Wentworth when it's safe so that everyone is able to enjoy spending time together at this beautiful venue. It would be a treat to work with Laura and her team again in the future!

    Amazing Venue and Staff!

    Beautiful, elegant, timeless - and that's just the exterior of Wentworth by the Sea, A Marriott Hotel and Spa! Our wedding was truly a bright light amidst a rough 2020. Wentworth by the Sea, especially Director of Catering, Laura Abraham Long, took incredible care of us and our guests. I absolutely recommend WbtS as your wedding venue - in or out of a Pandemic. We began planning our wedding in August 2019 and were provided with great care and transparent information regarding services and pricing. In Nov. 2019 Laura invited us to attend a fabulous tasting party at WbtS where we could experience the Wentworth Ballroom decked out in a glamorous state, meet an array of vendors, and taste WbtS's fantastic food. Our wedding was to be in late June of 2020. As the east coast shut down due to covid19, we had to make the overwhelming decision to wait it out or postpone our wedding. Laura was transparent and thoughtful in helping us reschedule our wedding, and the venue was incredibly generous in working with us to adapt our contract from 200 guests down to 58 guests. There were many new rules for guest and staff safety that could have made our reception feel awkward - but in fact, WbtS went above and beyond to make us and our guests feel safe, happy, and (almost) normal! Our wedding took place on Oct. 24, 2020 and it was the day of our dreams. Even all masked up you could tell that every guest was grinning! The food was fantastic (we're still hearing from guests on how great their meals were), we were able to have a socially distant dance floor, a (masked up) band, and we danced all night! It was absolutely a party and my husband and I feel so fulfilled. (And PS - guests quarantined and were tested before arriving to the hotel, and everyone was very serious about wearing their masks and practicing social distancing during the wedding festivities.)
