16 BEAUTIFUL VERMONT WEDDING VENUES

Vermont has 11 regions from which to choose when it comes to holding your wedding. Known as the Green Mountain State, it has all the Vermont wedding venues you could need to make your wedding as magical as you imagined it.

One of my favorite places in Vermont is Burlington. This happens to be the largest city by size (It only has 40,000 residents) in Vermont. It is pretty popular for couples looking to get married. Even in the winter there are plenty of options, especially the ski slopes.

If you’re looking for something a little smaller, Montpelier might be more charming to you. With its excellent sense of togetherness and community, you will enjoy the many intimate Vermont wedding venues to be found in this city.

The local scene is bustling with options. Being a predominantly farm state, you’re likely to find plenty places to get married in Vermont that support the farm-to-table idea. It is very easy to incorporate local cuisine into your wedding menu. Local farmers and brewers are very cooperative. You could get cheeses and other products from the dairy farmers, craft beer from the brewers, wine from the vineyards, meat and produce from the ranches, and Vermont’s signature maple syrup. All you have to do is talk to your caterer to see if you can make deals with local farmers to have them supply your big event with food.

Vermont is, by all definitions of the word, beautiful. From its snow capped mountains to its green landscape. From its stately mansions to its Vermont barn wedding venues. From its rolling farmland to its serene vineyards. There is not only beauty to be found here, but utility as well. Whatever your fantasy, Vermont has a way of taking it and blowing it up into a full-fledged yet almost unbelievable reality. Try it out; I promise you’ll fall in love with it just as much as I did.
