  We had looked into a few different outdoor venues for our August 2017 wedding but we kept coming back to WFC for many reasons. Andrea, Andy, and Anna all made the decision easy for us with assurances along the way that there would be plenty of help to organize, assemble, and initiate our wedding weekend of love and all of the staff came through with flying colors!
  
  The Food: All of the food at WFC is included with your daily per person rate. The mostly vegetarian food was always amazing and prepared/served with love and care. In addition to the daily three meals provided, WFC was also able to add additional hors d'oeuvres, snacks, and desserts for our wedding at minimal cost along with all the necessary table settings, champagne glasses, etc. Not having to deal with any outside food/catering companies made our weekend that much more relaxing and enjoyable!
  
  Accommodations: WFC has a large selection of overnight options ranging from camping to B&B styles lodgings. Not all guests are required to stay and there are plenty of local area lodgings available for guests not interested in staying on site. The rooms were all comfortable and really added to the community feel they encourage.
  
  The Ceremony & Reception: While any outdoor wedding runs the risk of rain, WFC did have the option of having the ceremony inside in case of a downpour. We lucked out, however, and had an absolutely beautiful weekend of blue skies and warm air. The ceremony was held alongside the peace rock in full view of Mt. Chocorua on the grassy lawn with plenty of room for our guests and the onlookers from the lodge porch. Andy was able to provide us with tables, chairs, and even a portable sound system with microphone. The Schmauch Room was easily the highlight of the night, with plenty of dancing room and a great sound system.
  
  Words really cannot describe how wonderful our wedding experience at The World Fellowship Center was. We will return as often as possible for many years to come!

  We look forward to seeing you and yours for many summers to come.

  The World Fellowship Center (WFC) is an amazing place. If you are looking for an affordable wedding venue in the White Mountains with hardworking, flexible, and friendly staff, then the WFC is your spot. Andrea, Andy, and Fiona were more than accommodating to our requests and plans. They helped make our wedding the best party of our lives! The accommodations are beautifully rustic and the food was outstanding! We turned our wedding into a weekend festival and all our guests (roughly 130) stayed at the site and ate all their meals at the main lodge. So convenient! We were surrounded by friends and family for three days with loads of activities around the area for every age group. Perhaps the biggest plus was the knowledge that all the money we had saved up for our big day went into supporting programming for social justice awareness and environmental stewardship. It was a wedding venue that met our wild wedding needs, but was also in-line with our personal values as well. We couldn't have been more happy! Thanks again.

  Andrea and Andy at the World Fellowship Center helped make our wedding truly special. We felt supported and loved through the entire process and the WFC Staff are absolutely fantastic. We were able to host an entire weekend event, including a talent show and bonfire the night before the wedding. Our guests loved that they could stay on location at the WFC and made good use of the hiking trails, pond and canoe/kayaks. We received tons of compliments on the food - especially the chicken enchiladas and macaroni and cheese with cauliflower. Andrea helped our guests pick wildflowers which we used to make bouquets and as table decorations. We are so happy that we chose to have our wedding at the World Fellowship Center.

  Prior to having our ceremony at World Fellowship Center, my wife and I have been coming here for years. We had a fondness for this place because it held a lot of wonderful memories for us - swimming in Whitten Pond, playing board games with friends, the wonderful meals, beautiful scenery. So, when we were looking for wedding locales, we knew immediately we wanted to have our ceremony there. And through organizing the wedding with the wonderful staff at World Fellowship, we have developed a deeper bond and love for the staff and the place.
  
  We had our ceremony prior to the start of their regular season. We had rented the whole place for 3 days for our friends and family. We had guests arriving on Friday and leaving on Sunday. We kicked off the celebration weekend on Friday with a welcome reception at the lodge and a BBQ outside. It was a wonderful way to introduce our friends and family who had never been to WFC why we loved the place so much. The setting was beautiful and the weather was perfect. It was low key affair but the staff worked very hard to feed our 100 - 125 hungry guests.
  
  On Saturday, the day of the ceremony, we were supposed to have our ceremony outside, but it rain unexpectedly, so the staff and our guests worked together to move the operations indoors. The indoor ceremony went so well, it was as if we had it planned it all long to do it inside. The reception dinner was in the main dining room, and the food was exceptional. We had dancing after dinner in the same dining room, and in a flash, the staff turned the dining area into a sizable dance floor. We really could go on but all in all, it was a fantastic experience, no small thanks to the attentive and hard working staff at World Fellowship Center.
  
  If you're looking for a rustic wedding set against a beautiful back drop of the White Mountains, we cannot beat World Fellowship Center. We highly recommend!

  My partner and I had our wedding here in 2011, because between the setting, the community, and the values, we couldn't think of a better place.
  
  I can't even begin to put into words how wonderful and thoughtful the staff at World Fellowship were, from planning, to prepping, to the actual day. The care that they took to making our wedding exactly what we wanted was unlike anything I ever expected or heard from other people who got married elsewhere.
  
  The food was delicious- I mean, really, really good. Every detail of the place was thought through. And even though our wedding was all DIY (so we expected something to melt down or explode), it went perfectly, problems were solved easily and without issue (and without bugging us!), and everyone who came fell in love with the place.
  
  Thank you Andrea, Andy, Fiona, and the staff for helping us get married exactly how we wanted to. It certainly set high expectations for the rest of our lives together!

  World Fellowship helped make our wedding a beautiful, warm, intimate, and memorable event. Having everyone stay there and enjoy delicious meals together in the lodge created a wonderful feeling of community and togetherness. Our friends and family still comment on how amazing it was! Andy and Andrea were incredibly helpful and flexible. The WF cook was a pleasure to work with, and the food was delicious. We still remember one night that weekend when Andrea and Andy lit a fire in the lodge, and Andy did some story-telling. World Fellowship is a very special place!
