States boasts a wide variety of locales, geography and weather patterns. Whether you want to be married in the country, at the
beach, or some other magical place, there are perfect spots close to home.

The Brandon Inn in Brandon, Vermont, has been catering to guests for over 200 years. While the place was tragically destroyed by fire in 1880, it was restored in the Dutch Colonial style that it maintains today. Brandon is located 20 to 30 minutes South of Middlebury, Vermont. Brandon has many easy walking trails and is near more rigorous trails for those who enjoy a good hike. There are various churches within walking distance to the Inn, and the famous Cafe Provence around the corner can handle all wedding catering needs.
