The staff's communication style was thorough, kind and accommodating, ensuring our vision was centered throughout the planning process.

Helen at Brookledge was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding!! From our very first interaction, the whole team was communicative, helpful, and really kind. The venue itself has a completely magical vibe, and was the perfect space for our forest wedding in the trees. I had originally hoped to get married in the redwoods in CA, but the The Camp Chapel (one option for a ceremony space) was the absolute next best thing. Helen went above and beyond throughout the weekend (even printed my updated vows last minute!!) to ensure everything ran smoothly, and everyone's attention to detail made our wedding day feel more magical than we could have ever dreamed of!! We are so grateful to Helen and the whole Brookledge team -- if you love glamping and want to get married in the trees -- THIS IS THE VENUE FOR YOU!! 1000/10 recommend! (Just because there isn't another public place to leave this, if you go with Brookledge, as you 10000% should!! don't choose Jake Allen as your DJ - just use another recommended vendor for music! )

Wow! We got married on 8/16/2025 and still cannot stop talking about how incredible our wedding day/weekend was. Alex and Maureen are top notch. From the first conversation to the last, they always treated us as if we were their only customer and if you know GA, you know they have LOTS of weddings. To have support from two professionals throughout a huge and expensive event, means the world. They were so accommodating, always quick to respond, got to know us, were present the entire wedding day (even helping serve appetizers), and always checking in. What really made a huge impression, was how busy GA was on our wedding day but how in the moment our wedding began, it felt like time stood still for us. Every guest stopped in their tracks, was beyond respectful, quiet and stood back and away from the north lawn. It was amazing how truly beautiful and perfect it was. Now… the food. WOW!!! Huge portions and INCREDIBLE food! Guests have not stopped talking and raving about it all - from the charcuterie board to the sliders, arancini balls, filet, etc., it was all the best food we’ve ever had at a wedding. Drinks… GREAT!!! No lack of alcohol here. Old fashions were made by hand, not a pre mix. We truly were blown away from start to finish. BOOK GOLDEN ARROW!!!! Thank you so much for the best experience, staff, accommodations and simply being the best.

The Community Sailing Center was an absolutely perfect place to have our wedding! The vibe was amazing, the view unbeatable, and the space felt both intimate and full of life. Tilly was so helpful and accommodating from start to finish—she was truly a joy to work with. The staff helped quickly transition from an outdoor to indoor ceremony at the last minute due to rain and made what could have been a stressful moment, feel very easy. It was perfect for our tiny wedding (under 30 guests) and I’m sure would be lovely for a bigger one as well!

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Sleepy Hollow Inn in Huntington, VT! This venue is uniquely Vermont and perfect for a wedding in any season. It offered everything we dreamed of—stunning views, versatile spaces, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that made our weekend unforgettable. One of our favorite aspects was that our closest family could stay onsite at the inn, allowing us to maximize our time together. We could even add on having them cook breakfast for us each morning, which was such a thoughtful touch and added to the sense of community and celebration. The versatility of the venue’s spaces gave us complete peace of mind, knowing we’d have a beautiful option no matter what the weather brought. From the charming round barn to the pavilion, gazebo by the pond, and the fire pit, each area offered something special. The bonfires we had both nights were a huge hit with our guests, and everyone loved the swings around the fire—a unique and fun touch! Carol, the innkeeper, was so friendly and accommodating, making sure every detail was taken care of with care and warmth. Her hospitality made us and our guests feel right at home. If you’re looking for a venue that combines Vermont charm, stunning natural beauty, and thoughtful hospitality, we cannot recommend Sleepy Hollow Inn highly enough.

The Barn at Smugglers’ Notch was truly a DREAM wedding venue! From the moment we first saw it, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. We celebrated our marriage (actually on our first anniversary) on 9/28/2024, and over the span of almost 2 years of planning, Jenn, Jamie and Steve were wonderful to work with. They accommodated us visiting several times after booking to see more details and ask questions. As we got closer to our wedding date, Jamie worked with us to develop our timeline full of so many details. They were so welcoming of us and our family, allowing my brother, a pastry chef & restaurant owner, to build the wedding cake on site the day of the wedding. Jenn was there with a smiling face and coffee ready for our early morning start. And Jamie set up everything so beautifully, including all of our decor that was very intricate (my favorite being the most amazing bookshelf escort wall I made, using The Barn’s shelf out on the patio!) Jamie did a wonderful job keeping everyone on time and in the right place. When the shuttle went to the wrong pickup location, Jamie got it all figured out and even though we started the ceremony late because of it, we were able to make up some time and stay on schedule for the rest of the evening. Overall, we are beyond happy with our day! The weather and the foliage were perfect, and every single detail came together so beautifully. We can’t say thank you enough to the amazing team at The Barn, and would highly recommend having your dream Vermont wedding here!
