They took care of everything!

We could not have asked for a better venue than Lareau! Helen and the staff made the whole process so easy and joyful. Not only was the wedding an incredible success - delicious food, easy company, beautiful views, seamless transitions - but the whole process of planning was made incredibly smooth by Helen’s guidance. From Day One we felt taken care of and excited about working with Lareau. The Happy Couples Weekend gave us an opportunity to see that we weren’t alone in the hustle and bustle of wedding planning - and we made real friends! Our planning conversations with Helen helped us feel prepared and I’m so glad we had her recommendations to help guide us through sticky moments. Everyone kept commenting about how we were so relaxed and calm the whole wedding weekend - it was really all thanks to the incredible care and consideration of this amazing venue!

We simply cannot rave enough.

The setting is sublime, the food shows off the best of Vermont, and the staff make you feel at home while also setting the stage for a momentous celebration.
Weddings at Lareau are a well-oiled machine. What they do has been developed over many years and works seamlessly. This inspired so much confidence in us from the very first time we visited through the last week-of check in. Simultaneously, there was also plenty of room for creativity to make our day special. Helen was a great collaborator who kept us ahead of schedule so we didn't get stressed. She really listened to our vision and was ready to go the extra mile when we had an idea, or be open if it might not work and offer alternate suggestions. Helen was also so helpful when it came to our other vendors, who often gushed about past experiences doing weddings at Lareau. It seemed like some people wanted to work with us in part because of our venue selection!
Weekend of, Helen's calmness was stabilizing and she was attentive to small details so we could focus on the celebration. Lareau encapsulates so much that we love about my home-state, it was the perfect locale to host friends and family who visited Vermont for the occasion.
Our wedding was, quite simply, an exquisite weekend that we will cherish for a lifetime.
Of all the decisions we made leading up to our wedding day (about 4,000), Lareau is the one we would make over and over again.

The best venue

Book Lareau Farm immediately if it’s available for your wedding date. It is truly the best venue in Vermont. Not only do you get the most beautiful spaces for your ceremony and reception, incredible food, and a wonderful place to stay, but you also get to work with an absolutely spectacular team. Helen is a godsend in preparing for your wedding, the inn staff will make you and guests feel like family from the moment you arrive, and the catering team is top notch. All of them worked with us to create a wedding weekend that felt not only a wonderful celebration of our love but an incredible event for all our guests as well. It has been 4+ months and we’re still having people rave about how wonderful the venue and the food were.
As an out-of-state couple, planning a VT wedding was an extra challenge. But between Helen’s patience on countless planning calls, the Happy Couples visit weekend (seriously, what an incredible event), and the staff in general, we were able to plan and host the wedding of our dreams. One that highlighted the natural beauty, bounty, and people of Vermont in the most spectacular way for so many of our guests who had never been before. We’ll always be grateful to Lareau and cannot recommend it enough.
