Vermont: the only state with the perfect scenery for every season

Vermont may just be the best-kept secret wedding destination in the US. But you know us—no gatekeeping here! Let’s talk all about the why, and more importantly, the where! Vermont is known for its nature—mountains, meadows, woods, you name it, Vermont has it! And then, there’s the culture. It’s an easy-going, quiet luxury lifestyle (think Martha’s Vineyard) but with more hiking. Now we’re not saying they invented farm-to-table, but they sure as heck have perfected it in Vermont. And your wedding favors practically make themselves; have you heard of Vermont maple syrup???

And because Vermont is such a destination for foodies and nature-lovers alike, it makes sense that the spa and hotel scene is popping off too! There are so many cool places to stay, but you know where our mind goes—yep, straight to the weddings! And what better wedding destination could there be than the top of a mountain? Literally.

The Perfect Setting For Every Season

Mountain Top Resort is home to 700 acres of sweeping views of a pristine mountain lake and the Green Mountain National Forest. No matter what time of year you picture your wedding in, Vermont takes that season to the max, and it doesn’t get better than the views at Mountain Top Resort. Yeah, Cali has “perfect” weather year-round, but we’d RSVP yes to a Vermont wedding any day.

fall

Maybe it’s our affinity for PSL season, but nothing beats fall in Vermont—the smell of the maple syrup in the air that emanates from every local cafe, and the colors, like every single tree in the state got the memo.

spring

Then, there’s spring, with wildflowers as far as the eye can see. Picture a wedding on “the Knoll,” perched atop a sweeping meadow with panoramic views of the resort, valley, lake, and surrounding mountain range. The custom wood arbor is adorned with native flowers and shrubbery. Then, after the ceremony, the hand-crafted ‘barn doors’ open to reveal the reception.

summer

Or, a summer wedding, with the sun glistening off the lake. And yes, the lake has a beach, and Mountain Top Resort is one of only a few beachside resorts in Vermont that has a beach on-property. The golden sand disappears into the crystal-clear lake waters, surrounded by woods and the magnificent Green Mountain Range.

winter

In Vermont, the entire state transforms into a winter wonderland every single winter, without fail. Perfect white-capped mountains and evergreens, and you and your guests gathered around the fire sipping hot chocolate (or something stronger) as you watch the snow fall outside. At Mountain Top Resort, they have plenty of indoor ceremony options if the weather doesn’t cooperate, but there is always an outdoor wedding ceremony, no matter the season. They even offer horse-drawn sleigh rides as part of the ceremony!!! Their floral department also gets really into the winter vibes and creates ice luminaries instead of lanterns and will help source holiday-themed florals if you’d like. And before you worry about the logistics, with lodging available on-site, everyone can stay on property without having to drive anywhere, and their on-site shuttle helps!

True to the easy-going lifestyle, the team at Mountain Top Resort goes the extra mile to make sure their couples don’t lift a finger, even when it comes to the planning. They offer dedicated wedding planners and a floral design team, Meadow’s Edge, so you can just show up and enjoy your wedding weekend.

Speaking of enjoying your stay, you and your guests will love the luxury accommodations! They even have guest houses if you want some more intimate cottagecore vibes. With seasonal activities year-round, it’s so much more than a hotel, and you don’t need to worry about coming up with your own itinerary to keep your guests entertained while you’re wrapping up all of your last-minute wedding details. Their Activities Center can assist with everything from souvenirs for your guests to a trail ride for your bridal party or a pontoon boat ride with food and drink. They also have on-site spa and salon services, so once you arrive, there’s no need to leave or shuttle your wedding party to and from place to place.

how it works

Once you’ve got your date locked in with Mountain Top Resort, you’ll be assigned a wedding coordinator. They’ll help you through floor plans, meal choices, bar packages, lodging, and more. You’ll also be invited to an event tasting, where you get to try an assortment of appetizers, entrees, bar items, and more. This gives you an idea of the food you can choose for your big day!
