I had the pleasure of planning and coordinating an intimate winter wedding at The Jackson back in 2013, and the venue was wonderful. The property’s beautiful architecture and snow-covered gardens created a cozy, romantic atmosphere, perfect for a winter celebration. The building and grounds offered countless opportunities for stunning photos, and the entire event felt warm, inviting, and unforgettable. I look forward to visiting The Jackson again very soon to see the recent renovations.

When we first toured the Carriage House as a potential venue, it was a snowy January day (the opposite of the June wedding day we were touring for) but we could see the vision of space and fell in love with it. Keilana and Dawn were so easy to work with from the initial tour all the way through to picking up our stuff the day after the wedding. They were always available to answer any of our questions, no matter how small. They broke down the planning into parts, so it never felt overwhelming and they were always very clear about what information they needed and when. From the tasting day where we got to imagine how the space would be set up for our wedding, to the final walk through where we went through every detail of the wedding day, Keilana and Dawn were professional and enthusiastic, and we knew that our wedding was in good hands. Having the reception at the Carriage House meant many of our out of state guests were staying at the hotel which made the weekend even more fun, continuously running into people we knew throughout the weekend! Our guests raved about the beautiful cocktail hour outside, the lake views from the reception space, the delicious food, and that even with 200 people there was never a line at the bar when guests went to get a drink! The entire reception ran so smoothly, and we had an amazing time. We could not have picked a better location for our wedding reception, and we would highly recommend the Carriage House at Fort William Henry to other couples!! Thank you, Keilana and Dawn!

Awarded Best of Zola
Reader: If you’re in love, thinking about falling in love, or just want to be surrounded by charm, joy, and magic: BOOK YOUR WEDDING AT THE WILBURTON! Wow. Just wow. This place is utterly one of a kind. The Wilburton is perched on a hilltop with sweeping Green Mountain views. There’s historic charm, whimsical art, lush gardens, beautiful rugs. It feels like a family estate, an art museum, and a dreamy retreat all rolled into one. But what truly sets The Wilburton apart isn’t the beauty (though it is ABUNDANT). It’s the people. The team behind the Wilburton…WOW. Meesha, Tajlei, Melissa, Albert, Sarah, Lottie, Valerie, Dexter, Sam, the CHEF!, the housekeeping crew... I don’t know how else to say this. They are literal angels. A full ensemble of guardian angels disguised as event pros, who treat your guests with so much care, warmth, and intention it will leave you speechless. And Meesha…. the heartbeat of your wedding planning! She’s the Wilburton's on-site wedding planner for your entire planning process, but in reality, she goes WELL beyond that role. She is the calm in the storm, a problem solver, and deeply compassionate. She treated our family like her own. When visa issues threatened our international guests’ plans, she worked with Tajlei and Melissa to ensure flexible, stress-free housing. And when our budget felt tight, without us asking, she offered thoughtful ideas to help us save without sacrificing anything. Then there are the moments in the special details. Like when all the shuttles had left and one of our guests missed the bus. Meesha personally drove him home at 1:30am, planning to come back to finish her work. Or how she and her team were somehow everywhere at once, framing table numbers, boxing things up at the end of the night. I have no idea when she did half of it. Meesha just made it all feel seamless. And the entire team at The Wilburton follows that lead. While we were dancing at the reception, they snuck into our bridal suite, cleaned it, organized it, and left it glowing. No clue when they found the time, especially since Meesha was also capturing video snippets from the sidelines to send us. Every vendor gushed about the staff. Every guest adored them. I genuinely wanted Meesha and the team around her as guests in the wedding by the time the big day came! The team absolutely DELIVERS. Dexter’s MASSIVE bonfire on Friday night was the perfect kickoff (the bonfire is a MUST do!). Valerie’s INCREDIBLE warmth and cocktails were handcrafted magic with homegrown ingredients. Tajlei and Melissa made us feel like the property had been waiting for us all along. Even during our tasting weekend, they created an experience that felt personal, thoughtful, and joyful for all the couples. Everywhere we turned, the team added little touches: unwrapping guest blankets, grabbing Advil, offering tables and carpets, hand-delivering gift bags to rooms. There were at least a dozen things I intended to handle, only to find they’d already been done. I’ll never know the full list of behind-the-scenes magic, but I felt it all. That kind of quiet thoughtfulness made the weekend feel easy, magical, and full of love. If you’re looking for the BEST place for a wedding, reunion, event, or even a night away, do yourself a favor and book The Wilburton Inn!!!

Carmine and Theresa at Hildene, The Lincoln Family Home, were responsive and attentive throughout the entire planning process. They were always willing to show us around the property when we stopped by for a visit, which helped us feel comfortable and confident in our decision to host our wedding there. The venue itself was simply stunning - Lincoln Hall is a wonderful addition that provided an unforgettable backdrop for our special day, even when we had to move the ceremony indoors due to rain. Carmine was our rock through the planning process, and his professionalism allowed us to forgo a planner or coordinator, as we knew he had everything covered. The team pivoted flawlessly when we had to move the event inside, ensuring our wedding day was nothing short of beautiful and memorable.
