Resort responds to trend with new venue for wedding ceremonies

(ATKINSON, NH, December 7, 2006)– Bridal parties considering holding their special event at the Atkinson Resort & Country Club have a refreshing new option for outdoor ceremonies and photographs. The Resort, nestled within 400 pristine wooded acres, opens its new pond-side trellis area overlooking green rolling fairways in May 2007. The fieldstone patio, partially shaded with a gently curving trellis and surrounded by colorful flower beds and shrubbery, seats 150 for ceremonies and is located just steps from the Resort’s Legacy Ballroom and Clubhouse.

“We are pleased to offer this beautiful new space in response to the growing trend in outdoor ceremonies,” says Nicolette Burns, Wedding Sales Manager at the Atkinson Resort & Country Club. “With the new trellis area, in addition to our gazebo and water garden, we now offer two unique options for memorable outdoor weddings and photographs. We know brides and their guests will simply find this new area irresistible!”
