Six Reasons Why The Vermont Wedding Barn is One of the Best Vermont Wedding Venues

Are you hunting for the best Vermont wedding venues? There is a lot to consider when choosing one. Do you pick a wedding venue with lodging or a wedding venue with mountain view? Do you get one that’s all inclusive but comes with a hefty price tag, or do you go with an affordable one that allows you the flexibility to make your special day how you want it to be? Here are six reasons why The Vermont Wedding Barn is one of the best vermont wedding venues out there, and you don’t need to look any further.

1. We are an alpaca farm wedding venue

What could be cuter or make your special day more memorable than having alpacas at your wedding? Enjoy all of the magic that accompanies field weddings by saying your vows while a herd of these fuzzy creatures nibble on grass nearby. Your guests will swoon when they see the babies zooming around playing with each other. And you might even get lucky enough to have one born around the time of your wedding, and get to enjoy the cria meandering curiously through your guests or up the aisle to greet you

A unique experience that we created and are the only venue to offer is The Running of the Alpacas where you run in front and to the side of the gentle herd as they come in from a day of grazing. This leads to an unforgettable experience for you and your guests, and makes for great candid photo opportunities for your photographer.

2. You aren’t locked into working with certain vendors

Usually places that are “all inclusive” lock you into uncomfortable contracts with people who may do stellar jobs, but also may not have the style or food options that you were wanting for your big day. Additionally, while these kinds of services take a weight off of your shoulders, they end up costing you a pretty penny for their convenience. Do away with all of that when you get married at our rustic wedding venue.

We are proud to offer brides and grooms the flexibility they deserve. Make your wedding how you want it to be. If you want the best caterers in the area, do that! If you want to have a potluck or have your friend make your flower arrangements for you so you can save your money for the honeymoon, do that. We are here to accommodate your needs and personalize your experience.

By the way, we've compiled a short list of local vendors to help make planning your wedding that much easier. Check it out here: ​Vermont Wedding Vendors

3. You don’t have to pay for things you won’t want

Not only do we give you flexibility, but we are also one of the most affordable wedding venues in Vermont. A big reason for that is because we don’t make you pay for extra fluff. Instead, you have the freedom to make your own package! Check out our wedding package pricing to begin considering what add ons you’d pick and choose for your big day.

4. You have convenient lodging nearby

Don’t worry about providing travel options for your guests who choose to partake in adult beverages or for your tired party after a long, fun-filled day. Having a wedding venue with lodging is a must!

After the festivities are over, your bridesmaids and groomsmen can crash at our separate New England farm house that is just one mile down the road. This Victorian house with four bedrooms and three bathrooms sleeps ten and is a great option for large parties to stay close by.

We also have onsite accommodations that include three bedrooms and one shared bathroom that are suited for an occupancy of two guests per room.

For even larger parties, we have rustic outdoor accommodations. RVs and tents are permitted for a truly one-of-a-kind experience that will provide your guests with an affordable and safe lodging option.

You and your newly married spouse get to enjoy a private, relaxing evening in our Adirondack-style pool cottage that is right here on the farm. Enjoy some much needed time to unwind after your big day by not worrying about rushing off to your next destination. Instead, you get to stay in our cozy cottage that overlooks the alpaca field and is steps away from our large inground pool.

5. We are a wedding venue with mountain view

One of the many wonderful perks to having a Vermont wedding, and getting married with us in particular, is that mountains surround our farm on both sides and offer wonderful backdrops for all your photos. The blueish, gray hue that the Adirondacks provide for field weddings compliments and contrasts the greens of the fields in the summer and the browns in the fall.

Of course, I’d be remiss if I didn’t also mention the breathtaking fiery reds, oranges, and yellows that make our state an “it” destination in the autumn. Dates in the fall book fast for this very reason, so call today to schedule a tour and reserve your special date for a picturesque Vermont fall wedding.

6. We have the knowledge & experience to make your day that much better

In recent years, many businesses have popped up trying to jump on the wedding barn trend, but we’ve been here since before rustic barn weddings became a thing. We’ve been doing this a long time (11+ years at the time of this article) and have the experience to help guide you and make sure that your special day goes off without a hitch.

When choosing a vendor for your wedding, make sure you book with someone who has experience and knows about the legalities of the area (such as the fact that your alcohol caterer must have a Vermont Liquor license). Book with someone who understands and complies with regulations (like the fact that all your trash must be separated or that you can’t burn certain wood due to a current wood-eating beetle infestation in the state).

When you book with The Vermont Wedding Barn, you’re not just booking a beautiful New England wedding venue, you’re getting years of experience and the personal touch and care of a small business. A quick glance at our Testimonials page will show you the kind of love and attention that we as the Foshay family pour into our guests. Here, you’re not just another wedding. You’re a part of the family.
