Wedding FAQs
Is the property available for wedding ceremonies or receptions?
Wedding ceremonies and receptions are welcome during the spring and fall months. Please note that we are unable to accommodate summer weddings because the owners utilize the property during those months. All requests are reviewed by the property managers and owners. Following this review, if the event is a good fit, we will schedule a consultation to discuss the details of your special day and outline our specific requirements.
*There is $5,000 additional booking fee for all weddings.
What is the maximum capacity for guests at a wedding?
We must limit the total number of guests to no more than 50. This restriction is necessary because the property is not large, offers very limited parking for bigger parties, and is primarily a private home. We are happy to allow weddings with the understanding that every guest will treat the property with care.
Are there any specific rules or restrictions for weddings
at the property?
We understand that you may wish to celebrate into the night. However, we have neighbors, even if they are not visible through the woods, and sound travels significantly. We require that all outdoor activities and noise levels be minimized after 10:00 PM.
We do not allow fireworks.
If you are planning on serving alcohol at your wedding, you will be required to purchase your own event insurance and provide us with proof of coverage.
We require a tent rental for all wedding receptions, as receptions are not permitted inside the house. Indoor activities must be limited to guests staying in the listings.
Please note: Our septic system cannot handle large events. Therefore, you will also be required to provide your own portable toilets (porta-potties) for the duration of the event.
Can we hire outside vendors for catering or decoration?
Yes, a wedding planner is required for all events. Please be aware that we do not supply or coordinate vendors, catering, or decorations, or provide assistance of any kind in planning or implementing your event. We recommend exploring the many excellent wedding planners and vendors available in Vermont. Proof of a hired wedding planner will be required.
Are there accommodations for wedding guests?
Yes, both the house and the barn offer accommodations for some of your guests. However, the property is not large enough to host all of your attendees, so please be sure to research local hotels, inns, and other Airbnbs for additional guest lodging.
