I cannot agree with the other reviewers more: the Hawk is absolutely wonderful. Even though they host weddings there almost every weekend, my husband and I felt like our wedding was the only one to ever take place there because the staff made it such a personalized experience. They go above and beyond to make the event and the entire weekend feel special. They were accommodating in every way. It was a truly magical weekend and I couldn't have imagined anything better. I would give this venue more than five stars if I could! Our guests had a great time and several said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to.

A few pros:

All of your guests can stay at the inn or the villas in the surrounding hills. This fosters such a lovely, intimate atmosphere. And the guests are more happy and relaxed because they don't have to drive anywhere for an entire weekend if they don't want to.

You don't need to commit to booking all of the rooms at the inn, like most places in Vermont that host weddings. This is a HUGE plus. Less stress for you!

They have/do everything there: catering, alcohol, tent, linens etc.

While the buildings leave something to be desired (kind of 70s looking), the grounds are gorgeous. Great for pictures. The view of the mountains in the wedding meadow is breathtaking.

There's so much for your guests to do on site: swimming, hiking, biking, fishing, archery. All of our guests had a great time enjoying the activities at the inn.

The staff is amazing. Jessica, the Hawk wedding coordinator, helped us throughout the whole year we planned the wedding. She always got back to us immediately with whatever questions we had.

The food is delicious and you can personalize the menu. The chef will modify any dish to your liking. Plus, he is very knowledgeable about wine, which was great for us because we're big into wine.

You will not be sorry if you book this venue! It surpassed our expectations in every way.
