APPLE HILL INN TAFTSVILLE, VERMONT Photography by Little Fang Photo

e chose Vermont as the location for our wedding because; living in Boston, we both knew we wanted to get married away from the hustle and bustle of the city at a peaceful and serene location where we and our guests could completely relax and be immersed in the celebration of our marriage. We didn't want the standard "cookie-cutter" wedding and wanted somewhere that reflected us as a couple. Growing up about an hour south of the venue, I knew Vermont could offer just what we were looking for. Filled with warmth and intimacy, the rustic yet elegant Vermont country inn and barn was the perfect location for us.

EQUINOX POND PAVILION MANCHESTER, VERMONT Photography by Andy Duback Photography

he quaint town of Manchester, Vermont always held an emotional significance for the both of us. We first came to The Equinox Resort for a New Year’s Eve celebration in 2002 and were overwhelmed by its charm and comfortable elegance. As avid skiers, we returned regularly in the winter months to enjoy burgers at Marsh Tavern and snuggle up by the fireplace in the library. When we got engaged in April 2012, we could not imagine a more perfect place to share with our family and friends as we joined our lives together through marriage.

Being from New York City, we were looking for a place to spend quality time with our family and friends over a long weekend. Manchester, Vermont is easily accessible from the tri-state area, not to mention a most warm, friendly, and welcoming town. Its rich history and plethora of outdoor activities allowed for a spectacular vacation and wedding venue nestled in the beauty of the Green Mountains. Our wedding was a dream come true, and we couldn’t imagine a more perfect place to start our lives together as husband and wife!

Flavors range from the traditional, like dark chocolate encrusted with pistachios or milk chocolate in toasted almonds, to the exotic like lime zested chocolate dipped in Brazilian Cachaca (kah-SHAH-sah) liquor or white chocolate infused with sweet guava. www.mybrigadeiro.com

THE WOODSTOCK INN & RESORT WOODSTOCK, VERMONT Photography by 822 Weddings

ermont has always held a special place in our hearts, we have a deep-rooted history and love for the state. I grew up spending winters with my family skiing out of Killington while Carl grew up spending winter vacations with his family in Mount Snow. Amazingly it was our foundation and early love for Vermont that drew us both to attend college at the University of Vermont where we met and fell in love and have been inseparable ever since.

When searching for a wedding venue we really didn’t think any other location could be as meaningful to us individually and our relationship than Vermont. We wanted the dÊcor of our wedding to capture the rustic energy of Vermont while embracing the elegance of the Woodstock Inn. A long holiday weekend wedding was perfect; we were able to enjoy a weekend of celebrations with the ones we loved. Woodstock is not only the perfect quintessential Vermont town but provided the perfect atmosphere for the laid back gathering of family and friends we had always dreamed about. It seemed organic to circle back to the same state we fell in love.

PRIVATE HOME HARTFORD, VERMONT Photography by North Photography LLC

rom the moment we got engaged and started discussing venues for our wedding, we knew without question that we wanted to get married in a place that encompassed the elements of a traditional wedding but with enough uniqueness and character to make the day memorable for all that attended. That place was Vermont. We had hopes of an outdoor reception and had to look no further than the home of Ryan’s family friend (and fourth grade teacher), who graciously offered us the once in a lifetime opportunity to have the wedding of our dreams on her gorgeous property. We took one look at the site and knew that was where we were going to have our wedding reception. It had charm, beauty, and serenity.

We knew that this small Vermont oasis was the perfect way to start our lives together and to give our guests an unforgettable, genuine Vermont experience.

CHARLIE

PRIVATE ESTATE POMFRET, VERMONT Photography by Paige Hiller Photography

hen we got engaged, Charlie and I knew that we wanted a wedding in an outdoor setting. After a visit to my grandparent's house one summer, we knew their farm was the perfect place for our reception. Living in New York, and both coming from the same town in Connecticut, we wanted to create a beautiful setting for our guests who were visiting from near and far. My mother and I worked with family friend, Tom Doyle to create an enchanting setting for a summer wedding in Vermont. From the custom centerpieces, to the gorgeous bouquets, to the hand crafted heart wreath that lit up the dock in the middle of the pond, Tom's creations were one of the highlights of the wedding. We incorporated a lot of personal touches on our own: our moms handmade the burlap napkin rings, I created custom flags for the drink straws, we made old windows into chalkboards for a rustic menu, and painted signs directing guests to the party. To keep the look and feel of the rustic farm wedding, we rented dark farm tables, and served the dinner "family style". Our band, K2 had every guest on the dance floor from the moment they hit the stage. What made the wedding so special was not only the love we felt throughout the entire day, but working with so many people that we knew on a personal level. A family friend who designed our amazing save the dates and custom labels, a wonderful caterer who put so much love and time into making every detail reflect our personality, an incredible florist who made the trip to Connecticut to bring our vision to life; everything about the day was so personal and special.
