My experience for having our wedding at The Highgate Manor was absolutely amazing! The owners and their staff are so kind and caring! They were so easy to work with and made it very easy for my husband and I to say yes to this venue! Any questions we had they were open to answer all of them! They made it so easy to see my vision of my wedding come true! I have lived near The Manor my whole life and seen it go through many owners throughout the years, and I’ve always wished that someone would turn this beautiful piece of history into something that our town would be proud of, and the owners did just that! They transformed the Manor into what it is now, and words can’t even explain all the hard work and dedication they have for this beautiful piece of history in a small town just to keep it alive, I applaud them!

I love the Intervale Center, it is so beautiful! I knew that by choosing to get married there in July, we could really cut back on our decorations and let the landscaped grounds really shine. This venue is very conveniently located to Burlington, VT, but doesn't feel like you're in a city. It feels quiet and somewhat secluded. The rental/site fee was very affordable (and what you pay goes to a good cause!) and their guide book/post-booking-brochure is really helpful. They provide tables and chairs which are probably ample if you are having a small shindig, though you will likely want to cover the tables as they are not very pretty! Or you can always rent tables and chairs at additional cost. Most of what they offer is very DIY, so get some friends together (we set up in less than an hour with our friends). Our wedding here was pretty low-key with about 40 guests, but I think this could work for more formal gatherings too. My top of mind words to describe it would be "Pretty, local, affordable".

If we could get married here again we would! Sailing Center was a joy to work with, very communicative and helpful, always ready to open their doors to us for umpteen visits to the deck during the planning stage or to lend us supplies like the elegant lights we had hanging overhead on the big day. The wedding itself was a dream. We got married in summer on the large third floor outdoor covered deck with a breathtaking view of Lake Champlain. Sunset made for GREAT pictures on the promenade and nearby dock. We had no problems with all our vendors getting set up and there was more than enough room for both dining area and dance floor for our ~80ish guests. You also get access to a neat attached observation deck, there is a commercial elevator for easy up and down transfer of all rental items, and bathrooms one level down. Just make sure to plan ahead for parking which is metered and public, but there are plenty of spots. It was the best night of our lives!

Crofter's Green was the perfect wedding venue for our special day. From the moment we first reached out, Kristin and Daniel were incredibly communicative, quick to respond, and provided clear information about their offerings. Their 10-acre property is beautifully maintained, with lush greenery and dreamy, well-kept spaces that set the most romantic backdrop for our celebration. Kristin and Daniel were attentive hosts throughout our wedding weekend, ensuring our bridal party was comfortable in the 5 cottages and 2 hexagon campers on site. You can tell they truly love and respect their property, and it showed in the seamless execution of our event. Crofter's Green was an absolute dream wedding location, with ample options for inclement weather. We are so grateful to Kristin and Daniel for helping make our wedding day truly magical. Many of our vendors had previous experience with Crofter's Green and spoke highly of both the facilities as well as the owners. We spend at least twice a year visiting one of the cabins just to enjoy the property. You cannot go wrong with Crofters!!
