We had the best time at Common Ground Center. This venue is so beautiful with SO many fun opportunities to make your wedding just right. There is so much space, and being able to have guests stay on site without it costing them much money was just what we were looking for. Adult summer camp vibes in the best way.

Having our wedding at Mad River Barn is the best decision we made during our planning process. During our initial tour, Adrienne's calm and collected demeanor, event planning experience, and confidence in her team immediately hooked us, and was very apparent the day of. Throughout our wedding weekend, we always felt like we were in good hands - taken care of and our preferences valued. The professionalism, courtesy, and heart of all staff members was unparalleled throughout the weekend. Chef Sam is also a huge selling point - with a strong emphasis on locally sourced and seasonal ingredients the food he and his team cooked for our wedding was unbelievably tasty. During our tasting prior to the event, many members of our party were so moved by the clear passion Chef Sam has for his craft. We can promise you will not be disappointed, and your expectations will likely be far exceeded, if you select Mad River Barn for your special events!

The Tillerman Inn & Restaurant was the perfect choice for our wedding venue! From the moment we first reached out, their communication was prompt and stress-free. They were incredibly accommodating, working with us to create a truly bespoke, personal, and visually stunning experience. The facilities were beautiful, with a home-y, artisanal feel that set the tone for our special day. The staff was well-organized and professional, present but never overbearing. And the dinner they served was insanely good - it felt like a truly customized, gourmet experience.

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. It truly made our wedding weekend magical, and we’ll cherish the memories forever! * Photos by Eaton Photo
