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
I'm coming to your wedding. What do I need to do next?
Answer
Book your lodging! The only thing we're worried about is Airbnb's filling up. We want you to have somewhere nice to stay while you're here. Reach out to us if you need helping finding a spot! If you are booking through Airbnb, we ask that you book a place with only as many beds as you need <3
Question
Is there a shuttle?
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.
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.
