The Middlebury Inn has anchored the village green in Middlebury, Vermont since 1827, when Nathan Wood opened it as the Vermont Hotel. Renamed the Addison House in 1852 and substantially renovated under Allen Calhoun beginning in 1897, the property reopened as The Middlebury Inn in 1927 and has operated continuously for more than 180 years. The adjacent Porter Mansion, an 1825 brick home with a curved staircase and marble fireplaces, joined the inn in 1941 and holds nine Victorian guest rooms, while twenty modern annex units followed in 1968. Set in the heart of the Champlain Valley overlooking Middlebury's town green, the inn pairs its historic character — antique grandfather clocks, carved mantelpieces, and Victorian-accented guest rooms — with amenities including Morgan's Tavern restaurant, Waterfalls Day Spa, a business center, and complimentary fitness center access. For events, the inn offers the Founder's Room, a high-ceiling ballroom with crown molding and a working marbled fireplace overlooking the town square, along with an outdoor courtyard nestled between two of its historic buildings — settings suited to weddings, elopements, corporate meetings, and private celebrations.

Champlain Valley Alpacas is a family-owned, 80-acre working farm in the Green Mountains of Vermont, run by the same family since 1998, where alpacas and grass-fed beef cattle are raised alongside a small vineyard. In 2011 the family opened the Vermont Wedding Barn, a do-it-yourself event venue seating up to 300 guests for weddings, proms, quinceañeras, birthday parties, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Couples choose their ceremony setting from options that include an open field or the property's own vineyard, both with views of the Adirondacks, and can decorate under a Pagoda-style redwood arbor or a rustic Adirondack-style arbor. The barn itself comes pre-lit with soft white string lighting and includes a contained bar area and a separate DJ or band space, along with round and rectangular tables and up to 250 complimentary white chairs. A signature feature of a Champlain Valley Alpacas wedding is the farm's alpaca herd, which guests can meet and photograph, including the venue's "Running of the Alpacas" moment. Wedding parties are given access to the property for four days — Thursday and Friday for setup and rehearsal, Saturday for the event, and Sunday for cleanup — and the bride and bridesmaids can stay overnight in the property's complimentary Poolside Cottage.

Common Ground Center is a nonprofit retreat and camp facility set on a 473-acre property in Starksboro, Vermont, about 30 minutes from Burlington. The grounds include forests, open fields, hiking trails, and a two-acre swimming pond, with views of the Hogback and Green Mountains — a backdrop couples often plan around, with many choosing September or October dates for Vermont's fall foliage. For weddings, couples can use the Hay Barn, a renovated barn with exposed beams and a cathedral-like feel for indoor ceremonies; the Dining Hall, the largest facility on site, which seats up to 165 guests and features a bamboo dance floor and a screened porch for cocktail hour; and open fields that accommodate up to 200 ceremony guests. The Eco-Lodge offers a year-round option well suited to small winter weddings. Overnight guests can stay across the property in twenty off-grid cabins, tent platforms, or the Eco-Lodge's eight private-bath guestrooms. A fully equipped commercial kitchen and wood-fired brick oven give couples the flexibility to hire their own caterer. The site is 100% solar-powered, and Common Ground Center — a nonprofit multi-age arts, education, and outdoor recreation center — also hosts youth camps, family camps, and retreats throughout the year.

Set in the village of Brandon, Vermont, the Brandon Inn has operated as a site of hospitality since 1786, beginning as a one-story tavern run by Captain Jacob Simonds. After a fire destroyed much of downtown Brandon in 1880, the current Dutch Colonial-style building rose in 1892, and the inn remains on the National Register of Historic Places today. The Brandon Inn hosts weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and celebrations of life across three indoor spaces available as standalone rentals: the Ballroom, the Dining Room & Gallery, and the Garden Room & Patio. Its team provides in-house catering and an open bar at the Jacob Simonds Bar, with a champagne toast, wine, and local beer, plus optional decoration, lighting, DJ, live music, and A/V equipment. The property also includes an in-ground pool, brick patio, bandstand, and a large lawn along the Neshobe River, and the Ballroom hosts free live piano music on a Steinway Model B most Friday and Saturday evenings.

The Lilac Inn occupies an 11,000-square-foot Georgian Revival mansion in Brandon, Vermont, originally built in 1909 as a summer residence known as "The Arches" and designed by Chicago architect George Perkins. The estate's history includes a philanthropist owner who gave Brandon its town library and later donated what is now Branbury State Park, and decades of stewardship by four cousins, among them an opera singer and a pair of well-traveled bookstore owners. Michael and Melanie Shane purchased the property in 1991, renamed it The Lilac Inn, and restored its Gilded Age architecture and grandeur. Today the inn hosts weddings year-round, from intimate elopements to celebrations of up to 200 guests, supported by a personal wedding coordinator who guides couples through planning. The on-site chef builds menus around each couple's own "food story," and the inn provides a Vermont wedding resource guide connecting couples with local florists, salons, and other services. Guests can extend their stay in the inn's on-site guest rooms, and the property is dog-friendly.

For more than 140 years, Basin Harbor has been shaped by five generations of the Beach family, beginning in 1882 when Ardelia Beach opened her farmhouse on the shores of Lake Champlain to visitors seeking an escape from the city. What began as a working farm grew, under Allen Penfield Beach, into a full resort with cottages, a golf course, a dance hall, and an airfield — additions that still define the property today. Set on the Vermont shoreline with views across Lake Champlain to the Adirondack Mountains, Basin Harbor now offers dining at Ardelia's restaurant, an 18-hole golf course, a boat club, and lakeside recreation alongside more than a dozen indoor and outdoor event spaces. Waterfront lawns, a tented dock, and historic rooms host everything from intimate dinners to weddings and group events for 300 or more guests, with rain contingency planning and on-site lodging in inn rooms, cottages, and private houses supporting multi-day celebrations.
