Take over the town of Grafton for your perfect wedding weekend!
As a pretty type A human (with equally type A friends and family!), I know I can be a lot to manage—but Olivia, Roma and Angela never once made us feel like we were too much. They were calm, kind, and incredibly organized. What really stood out was the team’s ability to strike the perfect balance: they gave us full creative control where it mattered most to us, while gently and expertly guiding us in areas that needed a professional hand. That balance created so much trust and allowed us to actually enjoy the process.
The weekend itself was seamless—every detail was executed beautifully. Our guests were blown away by the setting, the service, and how smoothly everything ran. We've received so many compliments, and we owe so much of that to the Grafton team. Being from Vermont, originally, this is a huge compliment.
Thank you for making our wedding not just stress-free, but joyful. Our dearest family and friends were able to take over a picturesque town and experience the wedding weekend of our dreams. We’re so grateful for the care you put into every step, and we can’t wait to come back to Grafton to celebrate future milestones! We truly have goosebumps writing this, we think about our wedding weekend everyday and hope other couples will see this and be fortunate enough to feel the same.
All our appreciation,
Maggie and Matt
The best not so secret elopement in New England
Sometimes one gives a special thanks to one or two members of the team, but in this case, I can wholeheartedly endorse ALL of the staff, vendors, and town staff who helped make our elopement perfect. We loved it so much, we made reservations to spend our one year anniversary here.
DREAM WEDDING!!! A millions stars!!!
Such a great wedding experience!
We ♥️ the Grafton Inn!
The staff at the Grafton Inn are simply unmatched. Olivia and Roma had every single detail under control from start to finish, and their organizational skills along with their calm, strategic approach to everything tremendously reduced our stress and made the planning process so much more manageable than we thought it would be. Every single staff member that we interacted with was so friendly and knowledgeable, and we know that our weekend would not have been nearly as great without their help.
There is absolutely nothing we would change about our decision to get married at the Grafton Inn. The setting is beautiful, the food is spectacular, the staff is outstanding and their service is top notch. The general vibe at and around the Inn is so warm and welcoming, it makes you want to return as soon as you drive away – we’ve already booked our next stay and can’t wait to be back!
If you’re thinking about booking the Grafton Inn for your wedding, this is your sign to do it. You will be SO glad that you did!!!!
A Perfect Wedding Weekend in Vermont
The Perfect, Cozy Weekend in Grafton
From the picturesque village to the delicious food at the Inn, this venue is absolutely perfect. The baker they partner with, Wendy, made one of the best cakes we've ever had! We had hoped for a cozy weekend where our many out of state guests could come get a Vermont experience, and that's exactly what we got. It was such a dreamy weekend.
We are so grateful to Roma and Olivia for all the hard work they put into our wedding and their attention to detail. They never tired of our many questions and were receptive and flexible to our ideas. It was also clear that the entire Grafton Inn staff work incredibly hard to create such a wonderful experience for guests (weddings guests or not).
Simply the best!!
The Inn itself is cozy and picturesque, and is a place that you'll want to come back to over and over again. All of our guests couldn't get over how cute the town was and have been raving about the Inn ever since. For us, we loved the flexibility that the Grafton Inn provides: multiple indoor/outdoor options for various events that could be big or small + the fact that almost all of our guests were able to stay at the Inn with us. It really felt like a vacation with 100+ of our closest family and friends. And friends still talk about the breakfast buffet!
The Grafton Inn makes everything super easy -- they are pros who have thought of everything and can take care of almost everything! Truly the best decision we made was having our wedding at the Grafton Inn!
