The Wilburton is the perfect wedding venue. It truly doesn’t get better than this. Location & Setting You get the amenities of Manchester at your fingertips while feeling like you're in your own secluded kingdom, surrounded by breathtaking 360-degree views of the Green Mountains. This place is a hidden gem. The Mansion – A Dream Venue The historic Art Deco mansion is stunning. Normally, a property this grand would be a museum, roped off with security. But here, they make it clear: this place is yours for the weekend. You feel at home—but in the coolest home imaginable. Your guests can freely explore, adding to an unforgettable experience. Seamless Layout & Guest Comfort The layout is flawless. From the bridal suite, I watched the ceremony setup unfold and saw guests trickling in. Everything is steps away—the farthest guest room is under a two-minute walk to the ceremony. From there, it's a short, scenic stroll to the terrace and tent for the reception, all set against gorgeous marble architecture. One overlooked wedding detail? Bathrooms. The mansion has elegant restrooms nearby, and with guests staying on-site, they could use their rooms—so no bathroom lines! Need to grab a jacket, touch up makeup, or charge your phone? You can do so without missing a thing. If you have a dog, it's easy to check on them—or even bring them back to the dance floor (our guests did!). Incredible Food Choosing a caterer can be nerve-wracking, but the Wilburton’s food is exceptional. If you tried every caterer in the country, this would still be #1. Fresh, local, and plentiful—they do not skimp. The hardest part was picking appetizers and entrées because we loved them all! Their wedding tasting event is genius. It’s set up like a real wedding—cocktail hour with appetizers, a seated dinner with entrée samples, and drinks to try. You also meet other couples, swap planning tips, and experience the top-notch service firsthand. World-Class Service & Staff The Wilburton’s team is extraordinary—polished, professional, and genuinely invested in your day. A perfect example: an hour before the tasting event, I realized I forgot to RSVP for my plus one. I let a waiter know, expecting chaos. Instead, they discreetly rearranged seating, added food, and learned my guest’s name—all without anyone noticing. Seamless. The Heart of the Wilburton: The People Beyond the breathtaking venue and amazing food, the best part of the Wilburton is the people. They are transparent, organized, and truly want you to have the best day of your life. A special shoutout to Meesha, who made wedding planning effortless. She was incredibly responsive, unbelievably organized, and guided us through everything. I had zero worries on my wedding day because I knew Meesha had it handled. That level of trust is priceless. Final Thoughts I don’t know any other brides who felt this relaxed and confident on their wedding day. That alone is a reason to book the Wilburton. If you’re considering it—DO IT. You won’t find a more stunning, welcoming, or well-run venue anywhere.

The Barns at Edgemont Inn was the perfect rustic and cozy setting for our wedding.

If you’re dreaming of a fairytale wedding surrounded by the natural beauty of Vermont, look no further than The Hermitage Inn in Dover. My October wedding at this stunning venue was nothing short of magical, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting to say “I do.” From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the picturesque views that surrounded the property. The fall foliage in full bloom painted the landscape with rich reds, oranges, and yellows, creating an unforgettable backdrop for our ceremony. The crisp autumn air and the golden light of an October afternoon made everything feel like a dream come true. The Hermitage Inn itself is a hidden gem—an elegant, rustic retreat that blends charming alpine décor with luxury. We held our ceremony outside, just steps from the Inn, where the breathtaking mountain views were the perfect frame for our vows. The staff were attentive, professional, and incredibly kind, ensuring everything ran smoothly from the first moment we arrived until the very end of our celebration. The reception in the Inn’s cozy yet spacious dining room was equally enchanting. The wood beams, warm lighting, and gorgeous floral arrangements created an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely divine—each dish felt thoughtfully prepared, showcasing Vermont’s freshest ingredients. Our guests are raving about the seasonal dishes, especially the artichoke beignets! What really stood out was the attention to detail. The team at The Hermitage went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of the day was flawless. From coordinating the timeline to recommending the best local vendors, they made the entire planning process feel effortless. They truly made our wedding day a reflection of our personal style and vision. Whether you're looking for an outdoor ceremony with breathtaking views, an intimate indoor reception with top-notch service, or simply a venue that offers the best of Vermont’s fall charm, The Hermitage Inn is the perfect choice. Our wedding was everything we imagined and more, and we are so grateful to have had our special day there.

We recently had our wedding reception at the Excelsior Springs Event Center, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! First and foremost, the food was absolutely amazing – all of our guests raved about it. The spacious and beautifully designed venue was spotless, and the layout provided the perfect setting for a seamless celebration. We chose to have our ceremony at Congress Park, but for couples looking to hold both their ceremony and reception in one location, Excelsior Springs offers a beautiful ceremony area as well. It’s a lovely option that makes it easy to keep everything in one place. Marianna, our wedding planner, was a standout. She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and helpful throughout the entire planning process and on the big day. We truly felt like we were in great hands with her guidance. One of the major perks was the venue’s connection to the Courtyard Marriott, which is only a 30-second walk away. This made it so easy for our guests to stay right next to the event, adding such a level of convenience. We also rented a room at the Marriott for our rehearsal dinner, and they allowed us to bring in our own food and soft drinks, which made it feel even more personal and special. One of the aspects we loved most was the flexibility to add our own personal touches. We were able to bring in custom signage, homemade centerpieces, set up a fun candy bar, and even add a mirror welcome sign selfie station. Our DJ also provided a photo booth, which our guests loved. These touches made the celebration feel uniquely ours and added to the fun atmosphere. Overall, Excelsior Springs Event Center and the Courtyard Marriott created a perfect combination for a memorable and stress-free wedding weekend. We highly recommend this venue for any couple looking for a beautiful, well-coordinated, and guest-friendly experience! Sincerely, Sabrina & Nicholas Myers
