Weddings in Southern Vermont

It’s time to celebrate! Host your wedding, rehearsal dinner, surprise birthday or milestone anniversary party at the Grafton Inn, nestled within a pretty-as-a-postcard Vermont country village. Choose from picturesque outdoor venues like the Swimming Pond and Community Garden or, for inside receptions and gatherings, the rustic Phelps Barn with a dance floor and two bars or the more intimate Homestead Room, with a stone fireplace making it ideal for winter weddings. Or, choose a tented reception or smaller event in a cozy guest house. See why the unforgettable venues, along with stellar planning and day-of service, and fresh, farm-to-table, award-winning cuisine have led to the inn being consistently voted one of the best wedding venues in southern Vermont.

A celebratory mood is not hard to come by at The Reluctant Panther Inn and Restaurant, Vermont’s finest small luxury hotel. Warm hospitality and service that sees to all the details so you can relax with friends, co-workers or family members are the hallmarks of this luxury inn, with stunning outdoor and indoor venues for your big event. Spring and summer mean celebrating on the manicured lawns, in the gorgeous gardens or on the terrace overlooking the gardens and Mt. Equinox. In the cooler weather, the award-winning restaurant and the more intimate Panther Pub’s private event space (especially wonderful for holiday parties) are perfect for gatherings from wedding receptions to reunions, birthdays and company events. Award-winning catering can be customized to suit the vision you have for your special celebration.

Celebrations are special at the Scott Farm, owned by The Landmark Trust USA and featuring locations that look like they are out of a movie. In fact, the farm was one of the settings for The Cider House Rules. Today, it’s the venue for picture-perfect weddings, rehearsal dinners, birthday and anniversary gatherings and other social events. And, the farm and various historic properties owned by the Trust can host 22 overnight guests. The Apple Barn, with windows overlooking the farm and mountains, hosts 120 guests. For smaller celebrations (20 people or fewer), the charming Dutton Farmhouse is ideal, with al fresco dinners under a tent attached to the farmhouse. There are also various scenic outdoor sites for memorable dining – and photos! Come by the farm to choose your perfect location.
