Unique Wedding Venues in Vermont

Several one-of-a-kind venues for your wedding ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner and even your farewell breakfast make the Lake Morey Resort ideal for your special day. Exchange your vows under an arbor or in a gazebo in a garden with a fountain and reflecting pool, and have your reception in a lake-view ballroom with picture windows and high ceilings. Plan a rehearsal dinner by the fire pit, then play lawn games with the bridal party. Have a farewell brunch or breakfast buffet by the lake or in the lakeside dining room. In addition to luxurious rooms, suites and even private cottages, the resort also includes a golf course, tennis courts, indoor pool, sauna, movie theater and lake activities from kayaking and canoeing to pontoon boat tours.

One-of-a-kind settings for your one-of-a-kind wedding: At the Grafton Inn, finding that perfect venue for your ceremony and reception is a top priority for your wedding coordinator. Ceremony sites include a lovely swimming pond, a community garden, a room with a beautiful stone fireplace, a cozy parlor and, in the village, a white-steepled church or brick meeting house. Receptions can be held in the inn’s rustic Phelps Barn, under a classic white tent or, for more intimate gatherings, in a spacious guest house. Celebrate your special day in a storybook village at an inn that provides first-class service; delectable, award-winning meals; and rooms, suites and houses that will impress your overnight guests.

Making a special day even more special is the goal of wedding and event planners at the Mountain Top Resort. Unique venues are part of that process, from the sands of a private beach in a quiet cove to a meadow with mountain views to a woodland glade to a magnificent rustic-luxe barn or elegant lakeside pavilion: Each venue has its own charm. Some have custom benches, floral arbors — even a “barn door” at the aisle to allow for a dramatic wedding party reveal. Also unique: The resort has an on-site floral and decor company as well as an on-site spa and salon. Guests have a variety of lodging options, from fireplace suites and cabins to spacious guest houses with hot tubs and balconies.

Imagine saying your “I do’s” by a pond, the mountains near Jeffersonville, VT in the background, under a rustic arbor decorated with the season’s flowers, then adjourning to a billowing tent for an elegant sit-down dinner or buffet. That’s just one of many picture-perfect options at the Sterling Ridge Resort, where they specialize in helping wedding couples customize their big day. Other venues include luxurious homes with expansive yards looking out over the mountains or a pond. Exchange your vows on the covered porch, then dine inside with two dozen of your nearest and dearest. Overnight guests will enjoy a memorable Vermont getaway, staying in comfortable cabins and mountain homes, with fireplaces, whirlpool tubs and fire pits. The resort has a seasonal outdoor heated pool, game room and miles of hiking trails.

Cozy and fun, magical and memorable: That’s what wedding ceremonies and receptions are like at the 571-acre Scott Farm in Dummerston, VT. Have your ceremony in a courtyard nestled amid historic white barns, bordered by a pond, then have dancing and dinner for 120 guests in the rustic Apple Barn, with windows looking out to the mountains. Or, have an intimate gathering, for 20 guests or fewer, in the Dutton Farmhouse, with an al fresco dinner under an attached tent. Scenic photo locations are everywhere, including orchards and along incredible stone walls and stone sculptures. Spend your honeymoon in the Sugar House, a rustic cabin next to a stand of maples used for sugaring in the spring. It’s a cozy retreat close to hiking, biking and skiing.
