Awarded Best of Zola
Stone Garden was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication was responsive and extremely detailed, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The location is absolutely beautiful, with a well-designed layout that allowed for a seamless flow of the day's events. The team at Stone Garden went above and beyond, adding so many small, thoughtful touches like yard games, twinkling lights, and gorgeous floral arrangements that truly made our day feel special. Kristen, the wedding planner, thought of every last detail and worked tirelessly to make sure anything we wanted was brought to life. And the bar team, led by Frank, created amazing signature cocktails that were waiting for us at the end of the aisle - such a nice surprise! The whole Stone Garden team worked together flawlessly, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy our wedding day. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue and experience.

The Inn at the Round Barn Farm was the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was present, proactive, and consistent - they always responded quickly and kept us on track with timelines and details. The venue itself is beautiful, unique, and captivating - the lush gardens and enchanting barn provided a gorgeous backdrop for our photos and ceremony. On the wedding day, they kept everything running smoothly and on time, while also being incredibly kind and ensuring the whole event went according to plan. I could not have pulled off such an incredible wedding without the venue's fantastic coordination and attention to detail - special shout out to Kim (the woman who owns it) and Loriann! I would not change a single thing about our special day there. I highly recommend The Inn at the Round Barn Farm if you're looking for a venue that delivers excellent service in an utterly captivating setting!

  • Unique barn setting

Venue considerations

  • Does not allow pets
  • No in-house catering options
  • Not wheelchair accessible
I love the Intervale Center, it is so beautiful! I knew that by choosing to get married there in July, we could really cut back on our decorations and let the landscaped grounds really shine. This venue is very conveniently located to Burlington, VT, but doesn't feel like you're in a city. It feels quiet and somewhat secluded. The rental/site fee was very affordable (and what you pay goes to a good cause!) and their guide book/post-booking-brochure is really helpful. They provide tables and chairs which are probably ample if you are having a small shindig, though you will likely want to cover the tables as they are not very pretty! Or you can always rent tables and chairs at additional cost. Most of what they offer is very DIY, so get some friends together (we set up in less than an hour with our friends). Our wedding here was pretty low-key with about 40 guests, but I think this could work for more formal gatherings too. My top of mind words to describe it would be "Pretty, local, affordable".
