Garden & Outdoor Weddings in Central Vermont

At the picture-perfect Lake Morey Resort, you actually have a choice of gardens for your very special ceremony. The Maple View Gardens, which are also ideal for cocktail receptions, are the stunningly landscaped gardens in front of the resort. There’s a gazebo, trellises, a reflecting pool and fountain. The Hemlock Gardens are bordered by hemlocks and old-growth maples and can host ceremonies for up to 250 guests. You can have your reception under a lawn tent or inside in a lake-view ballroom or other spacious indoor venue. You’ll have a wedding coordinator, wedding host and can work with a chef to come up with your perfect reception plated meal or buffet. The wedding couple have complimentary resort accommodations on their wedding night.

Everywhere you turn at the Mountain Top Resort, there is something lovely to see: mountains in the distance; a lake, meadows and woodlands on the expansive property — and gardens. The resort offers a variety of picturesque garden and meadow venues for wedding ceremonies. The Knoll, atop a meadow with panoramic views of the valley, lake and mountains, features a split-rail fence, a wood arbor adorned with native flowers, and custom wood benches. But there are also intimate garden and trail sites for small gatherings and photos. Wedding services include an experienced coordinator, a on-site spa and salon for day-of hair and makeup, and an on-site floral and design team to create garden-worthy flowers for your ceremony, reception — and even as adornments for your hair.

One of Vermont’s most beautiful addresses can be your destination for that quintessential garden wedding. At the Woodstock Inn & Resort, exchange your vows atop a stunning 3-acre garden, under hand-built arches; by the trees and blooms of the private South Garden, surrounded by the inn’s walls; on the elegant four-season Garden Terrace with a wall of windows looking out onto the gardens; or in the Garden Parlor, an intimate setting looking out to the South Garden. Have your reception under a high-ceiling tent in the South Garden, inside a culinary or garden studio at Kelly Way Gardens or on the Garden Terrace. Wedding packages offer a variety of award-winning dining options, and event coordinators will help with all the details.
