A wedding, reunion, milestone celebration, retreat, or special gathering can become the reason for an entire weekend away one where guests have time to settle in, explore somewhere new, enjoy the event itself, and still share breakfast the following morning before everyone heads in different directions.
Nashua offers an inviting setting for this kind of experience, bringing together the opportunity to celebrate, relax, and create lasting memories with family, friends, and loved ones. Our event spaces are located within the Courtyard by Marriott Nashua, bringing the celebration and overnight accommodations together while placing guests within reach of parks, dining, shopping, and downtown experiences throughout southern New Hampshire. The hotel offers 239 guest rooms and five suites, along with an on-site restaurant and bar, indoor swimming pool, fitness center, courtyard, and fire pit.
Friday: Arrive Before the Main Event
Instead of asking guests to travel on the morning of the gathering, encourage out-of-town guests to arrive the evening prior. Checking into our hotel gives guests time to unpack, reset after the drive, and ease into the weekend. Our rooms and suites include comfortable bedding, ergonomic workspaces, mini-fridges, flat-screen televisions, and coffee and tea makers.
The first evening is an opportunity for guests to settle in, unwind, and enjoy each other’s company without a formal itinerary. Guests can meet downstairs at The Bistro, which serves dinner and cocktails in the evening, or reconnect casually around the property before turning in for the night.
For hosts, that relaxed arrival also creates an opportunity to spend time with people who may have traveled a long way without trying to squeeze every conversation into the main event.
Saturday Morning: Leave a Little Room for Nashua
Before the celebration begins, give guests a few hours to relax, explore, and enjoy Nashua at their own pace. For those looking to spend some time outdoors, Mine Falls Park offers a beautiful escape into nature. This 325-acre city park features scenic forest trails, wetlands, open fields, and peaceful pathways along the Nashua River and Mill Pond canal system. Whether guests prefer a leisurely walk, a refreshing bike ride, or simply taking in the natural surroundings, it is a wonderful way to enjoy some fresh air before the festivities begin.
Others can head toward Downtown Nashua, where Main Street runs through the city’s historic and cultural center. The district combines restaurants, shops, historic architecture, public art, and riverfront surroundings, giving visitors plenty to explore without turning the morning into another organized group activity.
That free time can make the main event feel even more anticipated.
Saturday Afternoon: Let the Event Take Center Stage
Our venue offers approximately 14,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, allowing celebrations and gatherings to take many different forms. From larger ballroom-style occasions to more intimate rooms and pre-function areas, the spaces can be configured around the size and character of the event.
Browse our event spaces while considering how guests should move through the celebration from arrival and cocktails to dinner, presentations, dancing, or a more relaxed social format.
Professional in-house catering and event support can also keep the experience cohesive rather than requiring guests to move between multiple locations.
Saturday Night: Do Not Rush the Goodbye
With guestrooms conveniently located on the same property, guests can fully enjoy the celebration and return to their rooms afterward without worrying about travelling to another hotel. For those looking to extend the evening, the property’s inviting courtyard and fire pit offer another welcoming space to gather, relax, and enjoy meaningful conversations, weather and event arrangements permitting.
Sunday: One More Morning Together
Before guests heads home, make the most of one final morning together with a relaxed and enjoyable start to the day. Guests can stop by The Bistro for Starbucks coffee and delicious breakfast options, enjoy a refreshing swim in the indoor pool, squeeze in a workout, or simply take their time unwinding in our comfortable accommodations.
For hosts, a farewell breakfast or casual morning gathering offers one last opportunity to reconnect with family and friends, share favourite moments from the celebration, and enjoy meaningful conversations without the excitement and busy schedule of the main event. It is a lovely way to bring a memorable weekend to a close before everyone heads their separate ways.
Make the Journey Part of the Celebration
An event may be what brings everyone to Nashua, but the memories made throughout the weekend can make the experience truly special.
From arriving on Friday and exploring the local attractions to enjoying a memorable celebration, relaxing in our comfortable hotel rooms, and reconnecting over a final Sunday breakfast, every moment offers an opportunity to create lasting memories with family and friends. Make your next wedding, reunion, milestone celebration, retreat, or special gathering more than just an event. Turn it into a memorable weekend getaway in Nashua!
