New England College is an affordable location for your event, whether it’s a wedding, a business meeting or retreat, a family gathering, or a sporting event; NEC has the right venue for you.
NEC offers lovely views of the Contoocook River and surrounding hillsides. A historical covered bridge serves as a romantic meeting place but also captures the unique spirit of New England for all special events. We specialize in small to medium sized events that take advantage of our beautiful outdoor setting.
In addition to the covered bridge, event spaces on New England College’s campus include state of the art classrooms, meeting rooms, outdoor patios, overnight accommodations, rambling greens and sports complexes including an ice arena, dance studio, and turf field.
New England College’s experienced Events Staff and our fully equipped caterer, Chartwell’s, can help fulfill your event needs. Each occasion will be tailored based on your individual requests including food and beverage selections, audio visual equipment, custom party or business event rentals, logistics and floral arrangements.
