New England Destination Wedding Inns
Plan your destination wedding in beautiful New England in a 100-year-old mansion or on the coastline of Connecticut or Maine. Historic elegance and grace are evident at the renovated Lilac Inn, the 130-year-old Saybrook Point Inn or in the 1920s atmosphere of the Stage Neck Inn.
Lilac Inn
The Lilac Inn in Brandon, Vermont, is a beautifully restored 1909 mansion with elegant decor. It is an ideal location for an unforgettable New England wedding. Begin your life together in the garden beside the cobblestone patio, underneath the arbor or in the gazebo. Plan a moment for just the two of you or an event, such as a sit-down dinner for up to 130 guests in the historic grand ballroom. The Lilac Inn has nine guest rooms, each with private bath, and offers packages to include your rehearsal dinner, the reception and a morning-after brunch.
