Farm Road was incredible from the moment we first emailed about our wedding. Not only are the services, food and grounds INCREDIBLE- the people that work there too. Everything was perfect even more beautiful than we imagined. Our guests could not stop raving about the delicious food and gorgeous property. It truly felt like the best adult summer camp that we never wanted to leave. Taylor, the coordinator at Farm Road, was especially wonderful in ensuring we felt ready for the big day and taken care of. We couldn't have done it without her.

If you’re dreaming of a fairytale wedding surrounded by the natural beauty of Vermont, look no further than The Hermitage Inn in Dover. My October wedding at this stunning venue was nothing short of magical, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting to say “I do.” From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the picturesque views that surrounded the property. The fall foliage in full bloom painted the landscape with rich reds, oranges, and yellows, creating an unforgettable backdrop for our ceremony. The crisp autumn air and the golden light of an October afternoon made everything feel like a dream come true. The Hermitage Inn itself is a hidden gem—an elegant, rustic retreat that blends charming alpine décor with luxury. We held our ceremony outside, just steps from the Inn, where the breathtaking mountain views were the perfect frame for our vows. The staff were attentive, professional, and incredibly kind, ensuring everything ran smoothly from the first moment we arrived until the very end of our celebration. The reception in the Inn’s cozy yet spacious dining room was equally enchanting. The wood beams, warm lighting, and gorgeous floral arrangements created an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely divine—each dish felt thoughtfully prepared, showcasing Vermont’s freshest ingredients. Our guests are raving about the seasonal dishes, especially the artichoke beignets! What really stood out was the attention to detail. The team at The Hermitage went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of the day was flawless. From coordinating the timeline to recommending the best local vendors, they made the entire planning process feel effortless. They truly made our wedding day a reflection of our personal style and vision. Whether you're looking for an outdoor ceremony with breathtaking views, an intimate indoor reception with top-notch service, or simply a venue that offers the best of Vermont’s fall charm, The Hermitage Inn is the perfect choice. Our wedding was everything we imagined and more, and we are so grateful to have had our special day there.
