Vermont ranks as a top romance and wedding destination in the US with over hundreds of thousands traveling to our beloved state to attend a wedding or to say “I do.” The trend in destination weddings is about selecting a location rich in heritage, history, beauty and romance. Vermont has all these, plus exceptional reception sites and talented professionals who are knowledgeable in the latest styles and trends.
