Jessica Sent on 04/23/2026Our wedding 9/27/25
We cannot say enough amazing things about how amazing our wedding was here!!!! Gina, our wedding planner made the entire planning process feel seamless and stress-free, and the wedding day itself was absolutely perfect. Any questions, concerns or changes I had, Gina accommodated immediately. There was never a moment where we felt worried or overwhelmed! Everything was handled with such care, professionalism, and attention to detail. We were SO lucky to have Gina!
The entire team was incredible to us, and we still talk about how wonderful the staff was, especially our personal waiter (I can’t remember her name I’m so sorry), who went above and beyond all night. We felt so taken care of and genuinely supported, which made the day even more special. And the food was incredible!
If I could plan this day all over again, I wouldn’t change a single thing. -

Caroline Sent on 06/17/2025A gorgeous space and an attentive staff…
When my husband and I decided to get married, we were extremely overwhelmed and had no idea where to even start with planning such a momentous event. We knew that we wanted the wedding to be intimate (not to many guests), in a setting that was surrounded by trees, and in a location that felt like home. Out of all the wedding venues in Vermont, the Hermitage Inn captured everything we were looking for. A gorgeous space and an attentive staff… making the day feel as effortless as possible.
After a short call with the Events Director, Gina, we knew our big day was in good hands. She not only spent multiple hours on the phone with us, but she also provided amazing visuals for us as we were planning this wedding from out of state. I have never met a more dedicated person who works in a hospitality field. Gina is the definition of “going above and beyond” — even meeting us to tour the space on her day off last minute, so we were able to take the big leap in deciding this was our future wedding venue. She puts her entire heart in listening to her couples, understanding their vision, and bringing their dreams to life.
And now to the part of the magical touches… this space is truly one that people are passionate to work for. Everyone who works in the space takes time to learn who their patrons are, so much so, that my husband and I has several interactions with the owners Mary Lou and Tim of the Inn before the wedding even occurred. The Hermitage Inn is not just a space where they churn guests in and out… the waiters to the bartenders to the check in staff all knew who we were, and did everything in their power to make the day special. On the day of the wedding, Tim personally delivered lunch to the bridal party and grooms party. The day after the wedding, when picking up our decorations to bring home, Tim himself was walking the grounds and taking care of some landscaping on his own in the quiet hours of the morning. It’s moments like that where you realize you are receiving first class service without the impersonal aspect of larger hotel and venues.
On the wedding day itself, everyone was available to help where needed. I was looked in the eye, asked what I needed, and was never made to feel alone or out of sorts. Gina herself took our vision and DIY table settings, flowers, and glassware, and within hours had her entire staff create the space into the vision that we wanted. Lucky for us, we got married in the month of October, so the Hermitage Inn already was decorated with beautiful flowers, pumpkins, and corn stalks to provide additional ambience. The food… my husband and I have eaten at the Inn’s restaurant multiple times, and you are truly in for a treat. The high quality, amazing flavors, are exactly what you are served at your private event as well.
I could go on and on about the amazing experience we had with the Hermitage Inn. So many of my guests stated… “this place is like a postcard.” We could not be more impressed with the attention and care we received with our wedding event. Even with a wedding of 30 guests, we were able to have an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception in the gorgeous Birches dining room. We highly recommend this space for a future event or even a weekend away in Southern Vermont. It is now a place where we call ‘home.’ Thank you Tim, Mary Lou, Gina, and the entire staff of the Hermitage Inn for making our day one we will never forget!

Today is our three month wedding anniversary and we are still talking about how perfect our wedding was, with a huge part of that due to The Hermitage Inn. The team at The Hermitage made the entire process easy, calming and fun and made the weekend lovely, memorable and perfect. Gina was with us from moment one and was a constant professional who was warm, non-judgemental and available whenever needed. She made sure the day of went on without a hitch and took care of all the big and small details, making sure we didn’t need to worry about anything. I was very specific about wanting to start hair and make up later in the day and Gina adjusted the schedule and made sure I had my morning to myself. During the weekend Mercer, Jan, Sarah, Katia and so many others, along with Gina, made it the best weekend with all of our guests saying the same thing. From the rehearsal dinner, breakfasts in the morning, bar service and, of course, the big event, it was all excellent, personal and thoughtful.
Location and venue wise The Hermitage was again, perfect. The property and inn are beautiful, luxurious and luscious. It was incredible to have the entire inn to ourselves with our closest family and friends. The carriage house was a perfect home base to not only get ready in but to have drinks at and to have a little welcome event for just those staying at the inn on Thursday night. I have pictures of my parents and aunts and uncles sitting on the porch telling stories which I will cherish forever. The grounds were beautiful for the wedding and even though the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were at the same venue- each part of the weekend felt unique and intentional as the venue offers so many options.
Its been fun to look at the other weddings that have happened since ours on Instagram because not one of them have looked similar. That must be the magic of The Hermitage Inn and Gina, as they truly allow you to bring your own wedding to life.
Can’t wait to come back for a weekend and reminisce. My aunts and parents also fell in love with the venue and are planning a trip up the winter. -

Taylor Sent on 07/22/2024The most perfect venue!
We had the absolute best wedding day!
I could not have asked for more from our venue. The staff was amazing and the on-site coordinators, Gina and Mercer, were truly the best to work with! They were incredibly attentive during our two-year long planning process. I always felt like a priority and it was amazing to have people to ask questions, chat through logistics, and have in our court.
Our guests loved the space and having the ability for our wedding party to all stay at the venue was absolutely everything we hoped it would be. The food and aesthetic were PERFECT. It was everything a bride could have ever asked for!! -

Christina Sent on 07/11/2023Beautiful, caring, and professional venue!
My husband and I couldn't recommend The Hermitage Inn more. The service is unbeatable - not only was the onsite planner we worked with (Gina) caring, professional, quick to respond, and a great problem solver, but on the wedding day itself, every employee at the Inn truly cared about your day and making it as smooth and perfect as possible. In our eyes, their professionalism and kindness cannot be beaten, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the service. On top of that, the food was exceptional, and we can't begin to explain how beautiful yet also delicious our cake was.
In addition to having our wedding there, we also had our rehearsal dinner in the wine cellar and hired the Hermitage to do the florals for the night. The food was also delicious (this is a sign to pick the chocolate lava cake), the ambiance made for a more intimate dinner with those we loved, and the flowers were stunning. Also, our wedding party stayed at the Inn for the entire weekend, and the rooms were immaculate. So, stop your search now and get married here! Photo Credit to Emily Wren Photography -

My husband and I got married at The Hermitage in August 2023. It was a perfect New England mix of weather. Rain all morning until noon, wind and unseasonably cold! We wouldn’t have changed a thing. The team at the Inn was fantastic. They turned on heat lamps and had all the pretty fire pits going. It made everything glow and felt so special. Gina, the Inn’s wedding planner, is just so lovely. She’s professional and organized and executed everything we asked and more. We picked this location because it’s beautiful, and had indoor and outdoor wedding space. We wanted to get married in Vermont, but we weren’t looking for rustic. This was a really good fit for us. Overall it’s pricey, and that was a factor that we weighed heavily. Our guests raved about the food and drink, and loved The Hermitage. And we’re still dreaming about the wedding cake, carrot cake to be exact from the Inn’s pastry chef, Maya. -
