This gorgeous affair of Jennifer and Jeffry was the first wedding of the season for us at Storied Events and we are delighted to say that it went off flawlessly!  Mountain Top Inn and Resort located in Chittenden, Vermont was the venue of choice for Jenn and Jeff who were looking for a mountainside wedding venue (gorgeous views), with all the classic charm and amenities that a quintessential New England resort will bring.

Here are some of the details:

Basics:
Theme: Napa meets Vermont
Colors: Chocolate Brown, Pink and Green
Original  plan: Formal sit down dinner, traditional timeline.
What makes this wedding unique:

With two months  until the wedding, the bride and groom decided to amend the existing plan & leave out the formal dinner and go with something less traditional, more them and more interactive. Storied Events went back to the drawing board to redesign the event to incorporate a distinctive atmosphere truly representing Vermont and Napa Valley. We threw out all the traditions and created a night specifically designed around Jennifer and Jeff. The dining tables were all removed and left only various formations of cocktail tables and lounge furniture. The menu was designed to keep food flowing most of the evening. Several tasting size portions of creative dishes using local ingredients paired with wine. Knowing the bride has a special place in her heart for dragonflies, we placed subtle touches of dragonflies here and there – to not distract from the overall theme.  Lastly, amber lighting washed the tent as the sky drew dark, creating a romantic, soft glow throughout the night.

The DJ played tunes all night, keeping guests on the dance floor for almost 6 hours!

Vermont Wedding Venue: Stowe Mountain Lodge

This real wedding of Emily and Matt was held on Memorial Day weekend at one of our favorite Vermont wedding venues: Stowe Mountain Lodge in Stowe, Vermont. The beautiful ceremony was held in the afternoon sunshine on the outside patio of Stowe Mountain Lodge. The reception took place in the Tamarack Ballroom which provided ample room for guests to mingle and enjoy all the offerings of their gorgeous wedding reception.  The following vendors made this beautiful wedding come to life.

We just had to feature this green wedding in honor of Earth Day.  Each detail was carefully thought through by Storied Events, the bride and groom and their families.  Special care was taken to ensure sustainable resources were used to the greatest extent.

Some of the incredible resources used were floral designs by Ariella Chezar, recycled bottle linen from BBJ Linen, an environmentally friendly invitation suite by Julie Holcomb and a tasty, creative feast utilizing local farms was designed by Dish Catering. This venue of course is also designed to be a green environment. Encompassing over 12,000 acres of privately owned and maintained forest preserve, it does not get any more earth friendly than this!

Centrally located below majestic Mount Mansfield, in Stowe, Vermont lies Top Notch Resort & Spa.   Understated in its quiet luxury, yet balanced by its beautiful surroundings, Top Notch Resort and Spa has proven itself to be one of the finest properties in Vermont to get married.  Offering both indoor and outdoor venue locations, Top Notch Resort and Spa provides all the amenities you would expect from a AAA Four diamond property without any of the pretense. 

Perfect for weddings with large families who are looking for all the comforts of home while staying in Vermont.  Top Notch Resort’s accommodations include newly built 3 bedroom and 3 bath units(can be fully provisioned at your request) with granite counter tops, whirlpool tubs, and gas powered fireplaces.

The tented wedding reception site offers wonderful views of Mount Mansfield, while retaining its intimate and lush meadow feel.   Epicurean’s will delight in Top Notch Resort’s diverse table offerings.  Chef Timmons is known for producing some of Vermont’s finest cuisine, utilizing local farms for meats and produce, he tempts the palate and indulges the senses.    No matter what type of activities you are seeking, Top Notch Resort and Spa provides ample opportunities to enjoy yourself during your Vermont wedding weekend.

I had the pleasure of working an event here a few summers ago. The staff is very accommodating and eager to please. The farmhouse itself has a few rooms for staging and a small kitchen for their staff prep. You are required to rent all tents and equipment. Guest capacity is limited to the size tent you wish to rent {200 is comfortable}.  Ceremony options are available too, as well as great photo opportunities on the golf course.

Floral Design: Fresh {sadly no longer operating}

The resort is home to several different wedding venues, all with their own atmosphere.  The ballroom, located in the main hotel, is on the bottom floor and though not my favorite local, is acceptable for some events { I hope they renovate soon!}.  The ceremony site has views of the mountains and can be quite breathtaking.  My favorite spot for their receptions is across the street, next to their Nordic Barn. The resort installs a semi-permanent tent each year for the summer season and is a blank slate. You can make this location anything you want it to be, while still enjoying all the amenities this resort has to offer.

Enjoy getting ready in their full service spa. Hair, make-up and so much more! This space is grand enough for you and all your bridesmaids to hang out and bathe in the pampering.

A variety of accommodations are available for various preferences and budgets. Guest Rooms in the hotel are posh and even more so with an upgrade to a suite. For a bit of privacy or more room, luxury homes are available to rent.  The resort is centrally located in Stowe and easily accessible to other accommodations, for guests or family wishing to stay off site.

For photo credit, please roll over the photo.

You will not find overly stuffed beds, spa amenities in every corner of the bath nor flat screen television sets. In fact, you will not find a single television set in any of the rooms. There is no bar, no bistro, no comforts of the modern age. This is camp! But what a wonderful camp.

Private events are at the managers discretion and can be held outside under a tent in front of the Lodge. From experience, I would say 100 guests would be the maximum capacity. The Lodge is seasonal, so you need to wed in the summer months and you might want to consider a budget large enough to lay a floor in the tent. Guest rooms can easily accommodate 40 ish people in cabins and lodge rooms. Other accommodations are roughly twenty to thirty minutes away.
