Vermont Special Touches - Green Mountain Inn

A special quality exists here in Vermont, which is why so many choose to host their most memorable of celebrations here in our mountains, valleys and small villages. We’ve listed some suggestions on how to include some unique elements in your celebration to reflect the "essence" of Vermont…

Small Touches...

Personalized bottles of Vermont maple syrup, or small boxes of truffles or chocolates from the nearby Laughing Moon Chocolates both make wonderful wedding favors.

Certificates for a pint or scoop of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream also make great wedding favors. Located just down the road from the Inn, the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory continues to be one of Vermont's most popular stops for visitors.

Beautifully packaged Vermont Wildflower Seeds are an especially nice touch for guests to plant back home as a reminder of your wedding.

Notecards by Vermont artists and photographers bring back fond memories when sent as thank you or holiday cards.

Planning Your Reception...

Serve maple candies along with your wedding cake as an extra treat. While not a Vermont specialty, another popular option here at the Inn is to serve platters of our chocolate-dipped strawberries as a delectable accompaniment.

Feature a variety of popular Vermont micro-brews and award-winning local wines at your reception or rehearsal party - sure to be a hit!

Up until the mid-1980's, Vermont boasted a larger population of cows than people! It's only natural that our state be renowned for its quality dairy products. Showcase a variety of Vermont specialty cheeses during your hor d'oeuvres hour, or by including a "cheese course" in your reception or rehearsal meal.

Treat Yourselves...

Relax and rejuvenate before your big event with a massage at the Inn's health club. Advance reservations may be made to accommodate your schedule.

In warmer months, soar over the high peaks and beautiful meadows of Stowe - while toasting with a glass of bubbly - in a hot air balloon!

Experience the beauty of Vermont's landscape with a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride or moonlight sleigh ride during your wedding weekend.

Wrap yourselves in luxury long after your wedding celebration with a plush Green Mountain Inn bathrobe. With advance notice, we can have your robes monogrammed for your arrival. (Also a great gift for your wedding attendants!)

Shower Your Wedding Party...

Treat your out-of-town visitors to the tastes and flavors of Vermont! A heaping bag of fresh apples in the fall, or a "sampler" basket filled with quality Vermont products - make very welcoming gifts!

Unique, hand-crafted gifts from local Vermont artisans make wonderful gifts. Stowe is home to 95 individually owned shops - including many wonderful specialty shops and craft galleries.

A beautifully framed Walton Blodgett watercolor print from the Inn's permanent collection is an excellent gift. Choose from eight prints that reflect the essence of Stowe.
