Absolutely magical wedding reception

We just had my daughter’s wedding reception for approximately 150 guests in the Celebration barn. We had an all star line up of vendors and everything was perfect. The barn, Inn and property are beautiful. The staff all professional and attentive. They made everything run smoothly. Location wonderful right in the heart of Manchester. Everyone loved it!

Magical Winter Wedding for 140+ Guests

I had my wedding at the Inn at Manchester this past March and MAGICAL is the only word to describe it. This was party due to the foot of snow the night before and the softly falling flakes during our outdoor ceremony, however much can be said about the absolutely excellent staff at the Inn. To start with, they were very flexible and willing to let us try new things at their venue. I don't think they host very many outdoor winter weddings, but they let us (carefully) shovel the snow ourselves (thanks groomsmen!) so that we could have an outdoor ceremony.

Gretchen and John gave excellent advice on how to find the right vendors for us. I had nothing to worry about the entire wedding day as John had it COVERED. He even hung some string lights on the terrace for us. My wedding day could have had something go wrong and I wouldn't even know.

The setup of the barn was just big enough for our 140+ person wedding with a 7-piece band. Every vendor said they loved working there. The rooms were lovely. The breakfast was fantastic. I can't think of another thing I could have asked for!

The only thing to note, was the celebration barn does look better (in my opinion) with string lighting which you have to rent. This isn't a negative, just an FYI for future brides and grooms! I also rented siding to tent in and heat the terrace so it could be used in the winter, and my caterer did not supply dishes, so I needed to work with a rental company anyway (Celebration rentals). This is also one of the strengths of this venue, its a bit of a blank slate! They had no issue with me tacking some snowshoes on the wall.

In review, I talk up the Inn at Manchester to everyone I know in the hopes that I will get invited to someone else's wedding here (maybe one in the summer this time!). We also plan to go back next year for our anniversary and will likely come visit for years to come. 11/5 stars!

A memorable place to get married

My Husband and I got married here on June 26th, 2021. This venue was perfect- beautiful landscaping and a welcoming place to host our family and friends for the weekend. We loved the convenience to Manchester, and the staff was unbelievable! Everyone was super accommodating and flexible and made us feel comfortable the entire time. Nancy did everything she could to make sure things ran smoothly and they did! She is very knowledgeable and was able to recommend fantastic vendors for exactly what we were looking for. We couldn't be happier with our choice to get married at the Manchester Inn!

Amazing Wedding Venue

We held our wedding welcome party and all wedding events at the Inn at Manchester. From the moment we visited the property and met the staff, we knew we had to look no further for a wedding venue. Our expectations were beyond exceeded and we truly had the best weekend of our lives. John, the current event coordinator, was such a pleasure to work with and made sure our entire weekend ran smoothly. All we had to do was show up and just have a good time. The property, the rooms, and the breakfast are also all amazing for guests to stay the weekend. The staff at this family-run Inn are so amazing and accommodating. We could not have asked for a better place to hold our wedding and highly recommend this special place to anyone!

Amazing Venue!!

The venue is not only perfect but so is the crew! Nancy, John, and Bryan made the wedding of our dreams come true! Their communication with us was excellent. They would always check up on us and listen to our needs and wants. On the day of the wedding, John made sure everything went smoothly, and having a clean up crew after it all was a stress reliever!! The venue was beautiful, and we can’t wait to visit again!! Thank you to the entire team!!! We are forever grateful!

Perfect Wedding Weekend

We had an absolutely incredible wedding weekend at the Inn at Manchester. Nancy, John, Bryan, and Gabi worked closely with us every step up the way to help our wedding visions come to fruition. They were super flexible and worked with us to customize the bar menu, spoke with our vendors to help coordinate set up, and made sure that everything day-of went smoothly. We feel like family and couldn't be luckier to have the Inn as a special place to visit in the future. THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE TEAM! Everything was perfect.

Our Best Wedding Decision

Getting married at IAM was easily the best decision we made. It's a world class wedding venue. It comes with an amazing barn & patio to host events, incredibly picturesque grounds with jaw-dropping views of Mount Equinox, and a magical ceremony location. All of these amazing qualities located in the charming town of Manchester, VT. Manchester offered plenty of lodging, dining and activity options for our guests the entire weekend. All of our guests were complimenting us about how fabulous IAM was.

One thing that really sets IAM apart is that it delivers the "weekend experience". We had our entire wedding party and immediate family stay on the grounds. Our friends & family are all scattered so we wanted to maximize the time with everyone. Some of our fondest memories are the "bonus time" throughout the weekend such as friends & family hanging by the pool or on the rocking chairs, playing games in common areas or grabbing a drink at the bar. We had our rehearsal dinner, welcome party at IAM and the after party was directly across the street. You literally do not have to get in a car the entire weekend!

Having the grounds for the entire weekend makes the experience much less stressful and more convenient than other venues where you just get access on the wedding day. Also, having the grounds the whole weekend guarantees no other wedding will be sharing the inn with you. You can begin decorating and setup on Friday before your guests arrive, people can easily go back to their rooms at any time and organizing photos is as simple as "meet down on the lawn at 3". I can't emphasize enough how helpful that was. And the staff are around all weekend to assist with anything. They even stored & reheated leftovers from our rehearsal dinner for the groomsmen to eat on Saturday.

Last but not least, you get the assistance of Nancy throughout the entire process and on the wedding day. She's an absolute pro and the glue that holds together your day. She has great connections and recommendations should you need them, is incredibly organized and responsive and goes out of her way to make sure your wedding day is special. By the end of the process she literally feels like family.

September Wedding at the Inn at Manchester

The Inn at Manchester far exceeded our expectations for a wedding venue. While having to delay a year because of COVID, Nancy and the team at the Inn at Manchester were extremely understanding and accommodating. They were so helpful leading up to the wedding and Nancy made everything run extremely smoothly the full weekend. From helping plan the day of, to providing recommendations for other vendors and answers our questions big and small, we couldn't have done it without Nancy and the Inn at Manchester team. Being able to host our family and friends at the Inn all weekend, our Welcomed Party there Friday night and the ceremony and reception on Saturday was truly a dream come true. It's a gorgeous venue, perfectly located right off of town and the entire staff was so lovely to work with. I couldn't recommend the Inn at Manchester for your wedding weekend enough!

The Best Wedding Team Around ✨

There aren't enough words to describe how truly amazing The Inn at Manchester team is! They made every step in our wedding process smooth and truly enjoyable—especially Nancy, who was our coordinator and guided us every step of the way. Over our 1.5 years of planning (during COVID), they helped us navigate everything from COVID protocols, vendor recommendations, timeline suggestions, lodging, and more.

Nancy and the team are experts—they are responsive, knowledgable, and guide your experience in ways that will make your day truly perfect. This is not a venue that pumps out multiple weddings in a weekend. You will be the only wedding at the Inn for the entire weekend and the personal care and attention makes a world of a difference.

On top of the exceptional support from the team, the Inn, the celebration barn, and the grounds itself are gorgeous and beautifully-maintained.

Do yourself and your wedding a favor and book with the Inn at Manchester—you will not be disappointed!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
