Alex and Schuyler's Lake Winnipesaukee rehearsal dinner at the Woodshed

Brooklyn couple Alex and Schuyler treated their friends and family to a warm New Hampshire welcome in the rustic barn of the Woodshed Restaurant in Moultonborough, a place Alex has frequented for years while visiting her family's summer home in the nearby Bald Peak Colony community. I was taken with the quirky details throughout the space, the lovely tablescapes by Beautiful Days, and I especially enjoyed the large posterboard photos of the love birds as kids (including Alex in a wedding dress hung directly above their table).
Following a cocktail hour, guests feasted on a hearty meal while listening to a line-up of toasts from the hosts, Schuyler's folks, and other family members and friends (including a catchy original song by Alex's sister that is still running through my head, days later). As I was departing to return to my hotel to rest up for the next day's festivities, a bus was rolling in with more out-of-town friends to continue the celebratory kick-off late-night.
