Winter Weddings in Southern Vermont

Vermont has a special glow in the winter, making it a classic location for winter weddings. And that sparkle is even more special at The Reluctant Panther Inn and Restaurant, where intimate elopements, and weddings of up to 65 guests have a special feel in the winter, with lights glittering on the snow, the mountains in the distance. The luxury inn’s staff will help you customize your day to create lasting memories, from your rehearsal dinner to your after-party. Ceremony and reception venues in the inn are warm and cozy, dining is creative and locally sourced, and service is superb. Book the luxury inn’s entire 20 rooms and suites and you’ll feel like you are celebrating your wedding on a private estate in the heart of Manchester Village.

When snow settles over Grafton Village, it really does look like something out of a storybook: a lovely place for a winter wedding. At the historic Grafton Inn and at other village locations you have several venues to choose from for your big day, each of them picture-perfect. Across the street from the Main Inn is the Homestead Room, with a stone fireplace setting the stage for a wedding of up to 75 people. The Grafton Community Church and Brick Meeting House are also inviting spaces for ceremonies, and the Windham Parlor has a romantic atmosphere for elopement ceremonies. Have your reception at the inn’s rustic Phelps Barn, with two bars and a dance floor or, for more intimate gatherings, in one of the inn’s spacious guest houses.
