Vermont Wedding Venues Feature: Shelburne Museum – New England Weddings

Few Vermont wedding venues offer the myriad of ceremony and reception choices that Shelburne Museum does.  Wedding ceremonies can be held in one of the many garden locations(surrounded by Day lilly’s or Peonies), and your reception can be in a completely different location on the property.   One recent wedding held their breathtaking ceremony in the “circus building” garden while their reception occurred on the Ticonderoga Steam ship.

Shelburne Museum has the original Ticonderoga steam ship resting on their property. It was transported from Lake Champlain basin via rail road tracks built specifically for transporting the 220 foot steam ship.  Not only is it available for receptions, but rehearsal dinner, and ceremonies as well. This national landmark is the only side-wheel passenger steam ship in existence, and is a perfect slice of 1923 to set the stage for your Vermont wedding experience.   Having personally visited the ship this past spring, it is a truly amazing experience to be had.

The Brick house which was home to the founding family of Shelburne Museum is located on the shores on Lake Champlain and hosts over 40 rooms in elegant colonial revival style.  It is fitting that the home was given to the Webb family in 1913 as a wedding gift, and is now available for rent as a wonderful Vermont wedding venue.  The views from the Brick House over beautiful Lake Champlain and the Adirondack mountains are simply amazing. While availability is limited for weddings at The Brick House, it is certainly a one of a kind Vermont Wedding venue that should not be passed up.

No matter which locations you choose for your unique Vermont wedding, Shelburne Museum is sure to deliver a one of a kind experience that will wow you and your guests for years to come.
