The Community Sailing Center was an absolutely perfect place to have our wedding! The vibe was amazing, the view unbeatable, and the space felt both intimate and full of life. Tilly was so helpful and accommodating from start to finish—she was truly a joy to work with. The staff helped quickly transition from an outdoor to indoor ceremony at the last minute due to rain and made what could have been a stressful moment, feel very easy. It was perfect for our tiny wedding (under 30 guests) and I’m sure would be lovely for a bigger one as well! If you’re looking for a Burlington venue that’s beautiful, flexible, and staffed by people who truly care, this is the one.

Wow! We got married on 8/16/2025 and still cannot stop talking about how incredible our wedding day/weekend was. Alex and Maureen are top notch. From the first conversation to the last, they always treated us as if we were their only customer and if you know GA, you know they have LOTS of weddings. To have support from two professionals throughout a huge and expensive event, means the world. They were so accommodating, always quick to respond, got to know us, were present the entire wedding day (even helping serve appetizers), and always checking in. What really made a huge impression, was how busy GA was on our wedding day but how in the moment our wedding began, it felt like time stood still for us. Every guest stopped in their tracks, was beyond respectful, quiet and stood back and away from the north lawn. It was amazing how truly beautiful and perfect it was. Now… the food. WOW!!! Huge portions and INCREDIBLE food! Guests have not stopped talking and raving about it all - from the charcuterie board to the sliders, arancini balls, filet, etc., it was all the best food we’ve ever had at a wedding. Drinks… GREAT!!! No lack of alcohol here. Old fashions were made by hand, not a pre mix. We truly were blown away from start to finish. BOOK GOLDEN ARROW!!!! Thank you so much for the best experience, staff, accommodations and simply being the best.
