Mansion Wedding Venues in North Bennington

We were looking for a venue that combined beautiful, old world historic charm with the rustic, relaxed vibe we wanted for our wedding. Park-McCullough was perfect in every way. We were sold the moment we stepped onto the mansion’s gorgeous grounds, strolled through the beautiful gardens and strolled along the spacious covered veranda. The grounds, gardens, mansion and carriage house offer a huge variety of locations and options for each part of your wedding day. When some unexpected rain threw a wrench in our ceremony plans, we were able to shift gears and hold our ceremony on the expansive covered veranda, which turned out to be even more intimate and memorable than our original plan. The breathtaking photos of our wedding day captured both the historic interior and exterior of the venue, showcasing all the beautiful details that made us fall in love with the space. We also need to give a shoutout to Polly and her staff who patiently answered so many of our questions and was never anything but extremely kind and professional, even when plans changed multiple times and we asked so much of her. Our guests loved exploring and spending time at this historic venue and we loved being able to support a non-profit museum preserving such a unique piece of Vermont history. We can’t wait to continue visiting Park-McCullough over the years to remember the best day of our lives.

I’ve been trying to come up with what to say about our wedding weekend at the Henry House and part of me has been putting off writing this review because it feels like the closing chapter of one of the most special journeys my husband and I have embarked on and the other part of me is just at a complete loss for words for how incredible our time was there. Back in December 2020, as we began discussing our engagement, I started exploring local venues on Zola and stumbled upon The Henry House. To our amazement, it was right in North Bennington, and we had never even heard of it – a true hidden gem! In January 2021, we scheduled a tour and were instantly charmed, not only by the historic homestead but also by our fantastic tour guide, Tom Sklepowicz. Believe it or not, we fell so in love with the place that we booked it before we were even officially engaged! Unlike many wedding venues today that require setup and tear down in one day, The Henry House offered so much more. It provided a place for family and friends to stay for the entire weekend, which was an absolute blessing. Throughout the entire planning process, owner Rebecca proved to be extremely communicative and helpful. The Sklepowicz family was there every step of the way to ensure that our wedding weekend ran without a hitch. Our guests were truly in awe of the beautiful grounds, from the charming chapel in the woods to the perfect cocktail hour area on the upper patio, complete with an adorable corn crib converted into a bar. With a full bridal suite and a massive homestead, along with an additional red barn Airbnb to rent, there was plenty of room for our families and bridal parties, as well as space for both partners to get ready on the property. The option to host our rehearsal dinner and even a farewell event on the property was a bonus, and their extensive vendor lists helped us find the perfect teams to complete our special day. Our time at The Henry House was an absolute dream and an experience that we consider truly priceless. If you're wondering if this wedding venue is the right fit for you, trust us – it is! Even more amazing, during the off-season, you can rent the house or barn as Airbnb accommodations for a special way to reminisce about your day with family and friends. We are certainly planning to do this at some point!
