A Vermont destination wedding is a truly intimate event. Throughout Vermont, charming bed-and-breakfast inns and country resorts cater to their guests. The beauty and rural feel of the state are the essence of what makes Vermont wedding travel so special.
Tourism, dairy farming, maple syrup and paper production are the state?s economic bedrock. The Green Mountains are the pride of the state and the focus for much of its industry and tourism. Nearly any town in Vermont could be the ideal setting for your destination wedding. The classic elegance and history of each place would suit any bride and groom. Inviting country inns are the state's specialty venues for your wedding ceremony, reception, and honeymoon.
Perhaps the easiest way to plan your Vermont wedding travel would be to begin your search via the Internet. Once you have located an inn that interests you, contact them directly and speak with the individual who coordinates events at the site. Ask if there is a wedding planner associated with the inn, and if so, ask to speak with him or her regarding your plans. Things to do or consider before you call include the following:
- Write out a complete list of questions regarding the inn and its wedding-related services.
- Know your budget and stick to it!
- Be flexible on your dates if the inn is very popular.
- Ask about special wedding packages and group rates for lodging.
- Consider the size of your wedding party and the number of guests, to make sure they will all be able to stay at the inn with you.
Provided you ask the right questions and receive complete answers, there is no reason that you cannot plan your own destination wedding. Make your own wedding announcements using clipart from a quality source, such as WeddingClipart.com, then contact the inn, caterers, and a travel agent. If you decide to let someone else handle the planning, choose a wedding planner in Vermont who is familiar with all of the local resources and has a good reputation with the staff at the inn.
New England is beautiful at any time of the year, but most especially in the late summer and early fall. If you are considering a fall destination wedding, book it early! Caterers, florists, and inns are all in high demand and will need advance notice of your nuptials. Even if you are using a state park, be sure to make your reservations well in advance of your wedding date.
When planning your destination wedding, budget for your wedding ceremony, reception, travel costs, accommodations for you and your friends and family, and your honeymoon. Do not forget to include costs for tipping and honeymoon sightseeing adventures.
Whether you arrive at a cozy inn by horse-drawn coach, or hike to a scenic state park in the Green Mountains, a Vermont destination wedding will be a unique, romantic way to begin your lives together.
