The Wedding
Sat, Sep 20, 2025, 3:45 pm - Sun, Sep 21, 2025, 2:00 am
1341 Tucker Mountain Rd, Newbury, VT 05051
Attire: Cocktail. Wear something that makes you feel beautiful and shoes that may never be the same again.
The ceremony starts promptly at 4 p.m. Please arrive by 3:30 to leave yourselves enough time to park and walk the 15 minutes to the ceremony site, which is slightly uphill. Anyone who arrives late will be walking up the hill with the bridal procession, so don't arrive late! What to wear and bring in order to have the best possible time: 1. Shoes that don't have a crazy heel (you will have to walk through a large field to get to the ceremony site and grass will be underfoot everywhere except for in the barn) 2. A jacket and a sweater - autumn in Vermont arrives early. If you're cold you won't want to hang out late and we want you to hang out late. Nobody's allowed to leave. Note to drivers: Please follow signs to the parking area and note that parking is somewhat limited. The parking attendants will help you park as economically as possible. Carpool if you can!
FAQs
Question
Why central Vermont?
Answer
Our friends Erik and Hallie bought this 70-acre property during the pandemic and have spent the past few years turning Wild Sugar into a vibrant community hub. They host only 10 weddings a year, each one an enormous labor of love and care. Everything from the parking lot to the compostable toilets is designed to host a party that doesn't disturb the land or any of the beings that call it home. This place holds some of our earliest and fondest memories. The first wedding we ever attended together was Erik and Hallie's—which was also the first at the homestead. If you can't make it to Vermont, we completely understand, and we so look forward to celebrating with you in Massachusetts, New York, or wherever we see you next!
Question
Is there a shuttle to and from the venue?
Answer
Unfortunately, no. There are too many different lodging options to coordinate transportation between them and the venue. Please consider carpooling and nominating a designated driver in your group. The silver lining? No rickety school bus moment where you're trying not to puke up two liters of wine while reliving elementary school traumas.
Question
Is there parking at the wedding venue?
Answer
Yes, for about 70 cars. Please carpool if you can! Also, please note that the west side of Tucker Mountain Road is not passable. Sometimes GPS systems guide you that way—don't listen to them. Listen to us. IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use the west side of Tucker Mountain Road to reach the venue. It is impassable. If your GPS shows "Bowen Road," it's taking you the wrong way. Approach Wild Sugar Homestead from the east.
Question
What if it rains?
Answer
Only the (short) wedding ceremony is outdoors. Hopefully the weather gods (liberals) smile upon us. But if not, we'll relocate to the barn or go under the tent. Pack a raincoat and extra layers just in case!
Question
Can I bring my kids?
Answer
We love your children, but we ask that you please leave them home. Give us a call if this poses a major challenge.
Question
Where's the closest town?
Answer
Bradford, VT is only 10 minutes away. It's got restaurants, coffee shops, gas stations, and an antique shop. Kind of similar to New York City, if any of you have ever been there.
Question
Am I expected back at Wild Sugar on Sunday?
Answer
Nope! Be free. There are a number of lakes and streams for swimming nearby. We highly recommend bringing a breakfast sandwich to Hall's Lake, a 10-minute drive away.
