Waterfront Micro Weddings on Cobbetts Pond

An intimate guest list. A wedding that feels anything but small.

Celebrate with approximately 10 to 35 of the people who matter most at Castleton, a family-owned waterfront wedding venue in Windham, New Hampshire.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of Cobbetts Pond, Castleton offers indoor and outdoor ceremony options, private waterfront dining, and reception spaces configured around your guest count.

From your ceremony and photographs to dinner and the final toast, your entire celebration can happen in one beautiful waterfront location—approximately one hour north of Boston.

A Waterfront Wedding Surrounded by Natural Beauty

Castleton sits along the shores of Cobbetts Pond, giving couples a peaceful waterfront setting for their ceremony, photographs, dinner, and celebration.

The water, gardens, mature landscaping, and changing New England seasons create a natural backdrop that does not require much decoration to feel special.

Outdoor micro-wedding ceremonies are typically held in the Gardens, surrounded by natural scenery and views of Cobbetts Pond. The Lawn provides an open waterfront backdrop for photographs and gathering with guests, while the Portico offers a covered setting overlooking the water.

For indoor celebrations, the Waterview Corridor brings the pond into the experience through expansive waterfront views.

Hold Your Ceremony and Reception in One Location

Your guests should not have to travel between multiple locations to celebrate with you.

For micro weddings of up to approximately 35 guests, the ceremony is typically arranged outdoors in the gardens overlooking the waterfront. The Patio may also be available as an alternative ceremony setting, depending on your plans and event setup. Afterward, guests can move into the adjacent waterfront setting for cocktails, dinner, and the rest of the celebration.

Indoor ceremony options may also be available depending on your date, guest count, weather, and event arrangement.

Keeping your ceremony, photographs, dinner, and reception in one location can simplify transportation, timing, vendor coordination, and the overall experience for your guests.

A Wedding Space Sized for Your Guest List

One of the biggest concerns couples have about a small wedding is whether the venue will feel too large.

At Castleton, your celebration is not treated like a reduced version of a larger event. The room, menu, and experience are planned around your guest list and priorities.

Castleton’s ballroom divides using air walls, allowing our team to configure the space around the number of guests actually attending.

An intimate group of 15 or 25 people does not have to feel lost in a hall designed for hundreds.

The room fits your wedding. Your wedding does not have to fill the room.

Waterfront Dining and In-House Catering

Your micro-wedding dining experience is provided by Castleton’s Waterfront Dining on Cobbetts culinary team.

The food, service, room setup, and event timeline are coordinated together, giving you one experienced team to work with throughout the planning process.

Our culinary team has thoughtfully curated a plated dining experience with options designed to appeal to a variety of tastes. Your menu can be customized around your guest count, preferences, and the experience you want to create, giving your celebration a personal feel while keeping the dining experience seamless and beautifully coordinated.

From cocktails near the water to dinner, cake, and the final toast, each part of the celebration can feel connected and complete.
