Kathy and John chased a dream to move to Vermont and start a farm, having had careers as science teachers in the Philadelphia area. Kathy had attended University of Vermont, fell in love with the state, and vowed to return one day. John left teaching to take his lifelong organic gardening passion to the next level. They looked at a number of farms across southern Vermont, and when they found the Farm at Williams River House, they knew they had found someplace really special – a front row view of Fox Chair Mountain, verdant green hayfields, timeless stone walls and split rail fences, and a stately home dating back to the time of our nation’s founding! They were home, and they wanted to share this magical and romantic space with others.

Nicole did an amazing job helping coordinate our big day. She was easy to work with, super kind and always ready to handle the last minute changes that we through at her. She took so much stress off myself and my fiancé. Our day wouldn’t have gone as smoothly if we didn’t have her. We highly recommend nicole to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner or coordinator!

Trail Break was AMAZING for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party. Topher was extremely responsive and helpful during the planning process, even helping us find our rehearsal dinner location. Trail Break made our entire Friday night special and unique. First, the food is amazing and we received a ton of compliments from guests. Second, the drinks and service were also outstanding. Drinks were set and ready to go so guests didn’t have to wait too long. Third, the staff is so friendly and helpful. They made our Friday night seamless and special. We actually ended up going back to Trail Break two days after our wedding for another meal! The food is terrific. All around 6/5 star experience (if I could give it that rating). You will not be disappointed with Trail Break!

From the moment we booked Beautiful & Timeless Events for our wedding, Britney's communication was quick and helpful. Despite having a newborn at home, she was always extremely fast in getting back to me about anything I needed. Britney definitely knows what she's doing - the coordinator provided by my venue was horrible, but she saved the day. She helped organize my timeline, communicated with the other vendors, and knew what questions to ask. Britney also took control when my venue's coordinator couldn't even get the wedding party's attention at rehearsal. She showed up early and was there for anything I needed. I can't imagine how the day would have gone without her expertise and guidance.

As the couple getting married, I'm so sorry we did not get as much time to enjoy The Poor Cousins as our guests did. They were wonderful. We asked them to play our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. I also asked if they would be able to play a cover of a song that was not in their repertoire for our processional, and they absolutely did. They were very sweet and professional, and we would absolutely recommend them for bookings.

The Barn on the Pemi was the perfect rustic and charming venue for our wedding. With its natural wood beams and lighting, we didn't need to do much in terms of decor - the venue spoke for itself. The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. Krysta ensured we were hidden from guests before the ceremony started, and Steve who served us, was incredible in making sure my husband and I had a chance to eat during the reception. Thanks to their professionalism and care, we were able to fully enjoy our special day without worrying about the details. The Barn on the Pemi to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding venue, particularly in the winter with the snow!

My now husband and I have always loved the AMC and we had been to Cardigan before and we knew it was a special place. The AMC is an awesome organization that makes the outdoors accessible to many people in New England. Even if that wasn't true, this would have been the best venue because the setting is so gorgeous. We rented the lodge from Friday-Sunday and had 60 guests stay in bunkbeds with us at the lodge on Friday and Saturday nights. The AMC staff made delicious food that met the dietary restrictions of all our guests. They let us set up all over the property and turn the forest into our dream ceremony location. We even cold plunged in the pond! I would do all of this again, it was just right for our crew.

Wow…. I just re-watched the video for at least the 99th time and it still makes my heart glow. Alex this is amazing and we are so lucky to have found you. We went back and forth about a videographer for a little bit as I am sure most people do. We chose to do it because of our daughter, we shared that with Alex and he captured it so beautifully. I don’t regret having film one bit, and I know everyone says that so why? I feel like I re-live my wedding each and every time I watch this 2:46 highlight and as stated above I have watched it at least 99 times... And because the 1.5 hours of raw footage was included, I actually get to relive my wedding, all the sound and candid conversations that I would have never remembered (some more embarrassing then others lol)… So yea I expected the video to be special, but it is hard to explain just how special it truly is. From the very beginning we were impressed by Alex’s talent to capture beautiful moments and angles that highlight the romance. And wow did he do that. Alex, we both loved working with you during the wedding and we absolutely treasure your final product. Thank you for capturing all the feels of our magical day - we will cherish it for the rest of our lives. Cheers, The Ziegler’s

We offer several specialized wedding and event packages to fit your every need. We provide that little extra spark to help guarantee your event day is everything you envisioned. With us as your Event Planner or Month-Of Coordinator, you will be able to enjoy the Sparks of the day and not have to worry about anyone forgetting the Spoons.

Booking Sparks & Spoons was by far the best decision we made in our wedding process. We had most of our vendors booked and our venue had a coordinator, but our VT wedding was a destination wedding and I was single handedly doing everything myself. I knew I needed help! I had a vision that Kirsten and Wendy were able to make a reality. Not to mention the multiple times they were there to reassure me whenever I got overwhelmed. By the time our wedding weekend rolled around, I trusted them completely to handle every last detail, and they DELIVERED. We used Sparks & Spoons for our welcome drinks event as well as our wedding day. We also took full advantage of their amazing rentals. Walking into both event rooms for the first time, I was so overwhelmingly happy and impressed. Take it from a bride with insanely high standards... you will not regret booking with Sparks & Spoons.

My documentary style and speciality of capturing fresh, natural, and creative images has me traveling throughout New England for my amazing clients. I am happiest when capturing real love stories! I focus on documenting your day with candid moments, real emotions, and all the little details that show your personalities and love.

Liz Hinkley is an amazing wedding photographer who made our special day even more memorable. She was very responsive and quick to answer all our questions before and after the wedding. We loved the complimentary engagement shoot that she offered, as it gave us a chance to get to know her and how it feels to be photographed by her. She also helped us identify poses that we really liked and suited our personalities. She has a very easy platform to use for galleries and edits, and we were able to access and download our photos without any hassle. On the day of the wedding, she was very calm and professional, and made us feel relaxed and comfortable. She was reliable and punctual, and captured every moment of our celebration with her artistic eye. The custom album that she designed for us was absolutely stunning, and perfectly captured the joy and emotion of the day.

My husband and I got married at the Barn on the Pemi on 5/31/24, which works closely with the Common Man Inn & Spa. We had our room block, rehearsal dinner, and after party at the Inn, but I'm here to rave about our experience with the Spa! After booking our venue, I spoke to the Inn about any accommodations or recommendations they might have for somewhere for myself and my bridesmaids to get ready the morning of the wedding. They actually have what they affectionately call the "Getting Ready Room," which can be reserved ahead of time. I saw some pictures, saw that the room had some nice natural light, floor to ceiling mirrors and salon chairs, so I figured it was our best bet. Come wedding week and I went down to the spa with my bridesmaid to see the room and the pictures definitely did not do it justice! The room is large with a sitting area with a couch, table and chairs in the middle and salon-style chairs and mirrors around the perimeter. Our hair and makeup stylists were THRILLED with the setup, since they are used to cramped, poorly-lit hotel rooms for wedding prep! I will let the pictures speak for themselves, but want to add one more thing. The night before the wedding, one of my nails (done at a salon back home) broke and popped off - nightmare! I kept the broken piece and brought it to the Spa the morning of the wedding to see if they could help. The Spa staff went above and beyond to make sure my nails looked perfect. One of their nail techs sat in front of my while I was having my makeup done, glued the nail piece back on, and put a top layer of the. white french tip and clear coat shellac over all of my nails to make sure they all looked the same. I would highly recommend the Spa Getting Ready Room for the morning of your wedding - the space and the staff are fantastic!

We have been coming to the Wayside Inn for years as guests and it was the perfect place for our wedding guests to stay and to host our welcome dinner! Sarah and her team went above and beyond to make everything so special from a creating a weekend itinerary for guests, decorating the Inn with personalized photos of us submitted by our friends & family, and champagne and strawberries waiting in our room after the reception. Sarah & Mariah took so much care with the planning process to make sure every detail was right and what we wanted. Our guests keep telling us how much they loved the Inn and it is the perfect place for any couple looking to get married in a cozy and intimate location in the mountains!

Sally Carpenter Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Chester, VT
  • Offer

I have been a serious and successful photographer in the portrait, wedding and fine art fields for over twenty years and while working in London, I was awarded a distinction by The Royal Photographic Society for my documentary portraits. Educated as an artist and photographer through The Brooks Institute of Photography, I was also fortunate enough to attended intensive workshops given by the top wedding photographers in the world including 2MU, Jerry Ghionis, Parker Pfister, Brook Shaden, Cliff Mautner and Paulina Duczman.

Sally was a delight to work with! We were drawn to her documentary style that captured candid *moments*. Her portfolio showed that she had a solid understanding of composition, texture, and light & shadow. Additionally, it was important to us to have an inclusive photographer who respected all identities and cultures. From the very beginning, Sally was open and communicative, taking the time to understand our wedding day, offering timeline suggestions, answering questions, and getting to know us and our style. We had multiple experiences on our wedding day, including a tea ceremony and lion dance, so there were many moving parts, making for a full day. On the day of our wedding, Sally and her assistant, Gael, were prompt and starting working right way. Sally was geared up with multiple cameras and a harness. She even brought accessories to stage items for detail photos (such a ring holder and ribbon!). Sally was familiar with our venue, Lake Morey Resort, and had a lot of ideas on where to take photos (despite the slightly rainy day!). Additionally, Sally and Gael were extremely patient with our relatives, all of whom acted as paparazzi. We were super impressed with the photos Sally captured, despite our relatives randomly jumping in to grab a photo on their phones! Sally and Gael were everywhere and oftentimes, we didn't even notice they were there to capture certain moments! They were truly professionals who kept up their energy and enthusiasm the entire day, and worked in harmony with our videographer and the venue coordinator. Due to family request, our photos were a blend of candid shots and formal portraits. Sally balanced these perfectly, doing an excellent job with both styles of photography. We were impressed at how quickly we received sneak peeks. Photos from the entire day were delivered via an elegant USB flash drive. Sally exceeded all of our expectations. Her photos captured real, candid moments, beautifully reflecting the joy of the day. We only wish we hired her for the entire weekend!

From the first time we met with the team at Ogontz Rustic Resort, we were impressed by their timely, genuine, and knowledgeable communication. They took amazing care of us and all our guests, from the 3-month-old babies to my 91-year-old Grandpa, ensuring our wedding day was truly incredible and a family affair. It was incredibly important to us to have all of family and friends in one spot for the weekend. We had guests from all around the globe, and everyone agreed there was no where like it. I highly recommend the firework send off at the end of the reception. It’s a wonderful show. The Ogontz team went above and beyond. We are so grateful. Not only is the venue and the grounds amazingly stunning. The food was on point. Every meal was taken care of and no one complained. (When does that happen??) It's been over a month, and our guests are still raving that it was the best wedding they've ever attended. Ogontz Rustic Resort provided us with the best weekend of our lives, and I highly recommend them to any couple looking for a beautiful, welcoming venue that will make their special day unforgettable.

Book fireworks! So worth it :)

Chris Powers Music

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $750
  • Serves Chester, VT

Chris's live show is a very dynamic, upbeat, crowd oriented looping one man band show. Everything you hear is done live, looped and layered to make very interesting renditions of very popular music that crosses many genres. This is a something for everyone's style of music. Chris has performed at over 100 weddings for cocktail hours, live receptions and everything in-between. Chris also offers additional DJ services that will keep your guests on the dance floor.

CP was a dream to work with! From our first inquiry with Chris to the follow up after, he was attentive, professional, and determined to make our special day everything we wanted and more. He played a great acoustic set that all our guests loved--including my parents who were able to take at least one song off from wedding day duties. Chris MC'd the night flawlessly and worked with the other vendors to make everything go so smoothly. He followed up dessert with some rocking DJ skills to get everyone on the dance floor. I can not recommend CP enough!

  • Starts at $2,800

Hi! I'm Madelyn. I started my business in 2021, but have been photographing weddings since 2017. I'm a fan of candid and documentary style photos, true to tone colors, and everything outdoors. I know how awkward it can be to stand in front of a camera, but my goal is always to make my subjects feel comfortable and carefree.

Madelyn Fox Photography was one of the best parts of our wedding. She and her assistant were punctual, friendly, reasonably priced, and extremely professional. The best part was the fact that Madelyn would always be on the lookout for just the right picture. Definitely would recommend to anyone!
