The Grafton Inn

The people: Olivia and Angela really know what they're doing here with weddings at the Grafton Inn. They are true professionals in the industry and more importantly to us, genuine, caring, and honest people. They were incredibly easy-going and flexible over the last 2 years of planning, re-planning...scheduling, rescheduling...when the big weekend finally arrived, everything went off without a hitch. They were there every step of the way kindly keeping us on schedule, making sure we didn't miss any important cues. They don't skimp on any of the details and listened to everything we had to say. They made an event that requires a lot of coordinating, planning, and preparation feel very easy in the moment (though we appreciate very much how hard they were working for us the entire weekend). They were everywhere at once, it felt like on the actual wedding day. I could go on for page after page. We really cannot speak highly enough of them and their team in Grafton. If you and yours decide that this location is the place for you, take comfort in knowing that you are going to be well taken care of.

The Inn: Quintessential, preserved historic Inn in a humble and honest old Vermont town with everything you could ask for. Charming, well taken care of historic buildings. Comfy and homey, but on a grand, exquisite scale (you feel pampered, spoiled, and taken care of while you are here). The Inn, surrounding Inn houses, and town in general is just a beautiful place to spend any amount of time. Ripe for picture taking and relaxing in just about any light. Waking up to the sounds of the nearby woods and river is the perfect way to start your day and enjoy a peaceful cup of coffee. The local general store has literally a little bit of anything you could need. They are continuously investing in preserving and upgrading the property and buildings, and it shows. The love for the place is palpable, and cheer and happiness is in abundance. We cannot wait to go back.

The Wedding: The Grafton Inn was the perfect spot for our perfect Vermont wedding. We were fortunate enough to have 3 days of absolutely perfect weather in early May. The Grafton Outdoor center provided plenty of opportunity to get away for some activities during wedding related downtime and was a perfect spot for hosting a "day before" group gathering for some drinks, music, s’mores, and bonfire! A lot of guests commented on how unique, fun, and intimate of an experience it was to have that as part of the weekend. It especially gave us a lot more free time to mingle and reminisce at length with a lot of our guests. The Inn itself was the perfect venue for us. They have multiple outdoor ceremony locations (and the coordinators, Olivia and Angela, are flexible on the setup at each of these), and there are also some well-appointed bad weather indoor backup locations in town. Multitude of perfect picture taking locations are all within a short walk or 5 minute drive or less from the Inn itself too, which was a bonus. We really can't think of much more you could ask for in a wedding venue and team behind the scenes.

The Grafton Inn is a beautiful, historic place that doubles as the perfect all-inclusive wedding venue, with an absolute rockstar staff line-up to back it all up. Grafton is now and will be for us for the rest of our days, a truly special, and magical place.

Get married here. You will not regret it.
