We had the best time at Common Ground Center. This venue is so beautiful with SO many fun opportunities to make your wedding just right. There is so much space, and being able to have guests stay on site without it costing them much money was just what we were looking for. Adult summer camp vibes in the best way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wedding- September 14th, 2024 (35 guests) Tillerman was a hidden gem for us as we loved their down to earth atmosphere. If you are looking for something beautiful, rustic and natural- then do not look any further. Tillerman was beyond perfect- from the start of the ceremony until we ended our evening with marshmallows at the campfire. The drinks and the food were delicious and well done. Kenzie was responsive to our questions and needs- throughout the planning. We are forever thankful for Tillerman once again for everything they did for us.

It was so hard to begin to write this review because we have a book of amazing things to say about Lareau Farm. Being from Connecticut, my Husband and I accidentally found Lareau Farm Inn and fell in love with both the location and the staff. From the second we met Helen for our tour of the venue, she remained extremely helpful and easy to contact. What immediately grabbed our attention about this venue is that you can stay at the Inn for the weekend with your family and close friends. This was such a special weekend for us, we were surrounded by our bridal party and our direct families from Thursday to Monday. The Inn has beautiful land to walk around, a creek to swim in, and my younger sisters loved walking around to see the flowers. Even better, the breakfast at the Inn was delicious every single day (we say it is the best french toast we have ever had). Helen and the team at the Farm were accommodating with all of the ideas that we had. On Thursday we held an outdoor yoga class on the grounds of the Inn- it was peaceful and everyone had so much fun. We decided to have rehearsal dinner at the Historic Red Barn and it was beautiful. Helen has so much attention to detail, tables and decorations were spot on to what we had imagined. We opted for the American Flatbread at rehearsal dinner and our guests say it was the best flatbread they have ever had ( we even ordered extra later that night!). The best part about our wedding morning was that we had no worries because we knew that Helen and the team had everything under control. I was so calm, cool, and collected, on the wedding day morning and it was all due to everyone making the process so easy. As a bride who had every little detail planned out, Helen was able to place every decoration perfectly just by following little sticky notes I had left her. Helen was great at contacting our vendors and keeping everything going smoothly. We decided to have a food buffet for dinner, and we still have our guests talking about how good the dinner was, “ the best wedding food ever”, as they say. I think we went up for thirds at one point! One of our favorite parts of the night was sitting around the fire after our Reception, having s'mores , and watching the stars. Another plus of the venue location is that there are no street lights around, so star watching is spectacular. There was not one thing throughout our entire wedding weekend that went wrong, and nothing we would change. The venue is so beautiful, it makes for perfect pictures no matter where you are. If you are looking for a venue that is laid back, naturally beautiful, has delicious and fresh food, and kind staff, then LF is your place. A month after our wedding the farm surprised us with a painting of my bouquet as a gift- just another instance where they are so thoughtful! There is nothing better than enjoying coffee on the porch and the company of everyone you love on the day you get married. I wish we could give this venue more than 5 stars because they deserve it. A huge thank you to Helen, again, and the team at Lareau Farm, Colby & Taylor Nolan

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!

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Sleepy Hollow Inn in Huntington, VT! This venue is uniquely Vermont and perfect for a wedding in any season. It offered everything we dreamed of—stunning views, versatile spaces, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that made our weekend unforgettable. One of our favorite aspects was that our closest family could stay onsite at the inn, allowing us to maximize our time together. We could even add on having them cook breakfast for us each morning, which was such a thoughtful touch and added to the sense of community and celebration. The versatility of the venue’s spaces gave us complete peace of mind, knowing we’d have a beautiful option no matter what the weather brought. From the charming round barn to the pavilion, gazebo by the pond, and the fire pit, each area offered something special. The bonfires we had both nights were a huge hit with our guests, and everyone loved the swings around the fire—a unique and fun touch! Carol, the innkeeper, was so friendly and accommodating, making sure every detail was taken care of with care and warmth. Her hospitality made us and our guests feel right at home. If you’re looking for a venue that combines Vermont charm, stunning natural beauty, and thoughtful hospitality, we cannot recommend Sleepy Hollow Inn highly enough. It truly made our wedding weekend magical, and we’ll cherish the memories forever! * Photos by Eaton Photo
