The Kimpton Taconic Hotel was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly communicative, professional, and attentive to our needs. Natalie, the event coordinator, checked in with us personally when we got there and ensured that everything was taken care of, including arranging for my dress to be steamed the day before the wedding. The hotel itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a cozy and quintessential Vermont feel that was exactly what we were looking for!
