Lake Morey Resort is a family-owned resort set in the Vermont hills above the Connecticut River, on the shores of Lake Morey in Fairlee. Now operated by the third generation of the Avery family, who have owned the property since 1972, the resort traces its roots to 1905, when its original hotel building was constructed alongside a golf course developed a few years earlier. The resort has hosted weddings and celebrations for more than 50 years, pairing lakefront event rooms with garden and lakeside outdoor spaces for ceremonies and receptions. Its indoor venues, including the Terrace Ballroom, Morey Room, and Waterlot Room, each include a built-in bar and dance floor with views of the lake, while outdoor sites such as Mapleview Gardens and Hemlock Gardens offer gazebos, gardens, and lawns along the water. Guest rooms and lakeside cottages allow wedding parties to stay on site, and the resort's classically trained chefs and event staff support receptions from planning through the event itself.

Ohana Family Camp is a week-long family retreat on Lake Fairlee in Vermont, run by the Aloha Foundation. Its name comes from the Hawaiian word for family, community, and a circle of good friends, and the camp brings families and friends of all ages together to reconnect outdoors. The property sits with the foothills of the Green Mountains to the west and Lake Fairlee below, with scenic back roads and hiking trails minutes away. Families stay in simple cabins with fieldstone fireplaces, kitchenettes, and one to four bedrooms, or in one of six platform tents with four twin beds each, electricity, and covered porches. The Main Lodge sits at the center of the upper camp, with a large meeting and dining area, a central fireplace, a spacious porch, and the main kitchen. Meals are served family-style in the camp's classic dining hall, which features a grand stone fireplace and a wide covered porch overlooking the lake. Days at Ohana are built around counselor-led activities including canoeing, kayaking, sailing, swimming, archery, tennis, and disc golf, along with arts and crafts, a high ropes and climbing course, and open time on the waterfront and in the game room and library. Evenings bring campfires, s'mores, and programs such as marionette shows around the Main Lodge.

Sky Acres Events sits on a 234-acre working farm in Washington, Vermont, where fields, forests, and streams rise toward a hillside view of the Green Mountains stretching from Mount Mansfield to Killington. Owner Cilla acquired the property, once the Sky Acres Girl Scout Camp, in 2003 and has spent years renovating it while keeping it in use as a working farm. The former camp dining hall has been restored into the Pavilion, a rustic post-and-beam space with a stone fireplace, exposed rafters, antique wagon-wheel chandeliers, and floor-to-ceiling panels that open onto the mountain views. Sky Acres Events hosts weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and other private celebrations, offering its grounds and Pavilion as a do-it-yourself rental, with access to the space the day before an event for setup and decorating.
