Description:

Perched on a prime part of the New Hampshire’s coast is the picturesque, seaside wedding venue: the Seacoast Science Center. The Seacoast Science Center grounds, located within historic Odiorne Point State Park, include an oceanfront event tent and evening use of our museum exhibits and aquarium. Imagine the open sky, deep blue ocean, and expansive grounds lined with trees as the backdrop to your special day. Exchange your vows in front of the open ocean and dance the night away under a beautiful white tent with the sound of waves quietly crashing on the rocky shore.

 

Clients can feel great knowing that hosting their wedding at the Seacoast Science Center is an investment in continuing 25 years of ocean education and marine mammal rescue in the region.
