weddings

Exchange vows under an ancient maple tree, enjoy cocktails in the barnyard, and dine and dance the night away under soaring barn ceilings and twinkling lights.

At Weatherhead Hollow, we’re here to help you celebrate, unwind, and create unforgettable memories. Our historic Southern Vermont Farmstead features accommodations for up to 12 guests and a 10,000 square foot Barn event space, surrounded by rolling fields and mountain views of the hollow — all for you to enjoy.

This isn’t a typical corporate event venue. We specialize in bespoke weddings – with only 12 weddings a year in May through October, we take the time to get to know you and your loved ones. When not hosting events or weddings, Weatherhead Hollow supports the creative economy in Vermont through fully funded artist residencies. Similar to how we support artists and their creativity, as an event venue, we offer an unhurried environment where you will have the freedom to create the celebration you envision.

Take a look at our walk-through video below or our online portfolio on our Gallery page.

The interior design and restoration of the Weatherhead Hollow farmstead is featured in atHome New England Magazine’s 2024 Winter edition and in the book Create the Style You Crave: The Sweet Spot Guide to Home Decor.

Kind Words

Beautiful location and a great team! I always look forward to photographing engagement photos and weddings at Weatherhead Hollow. The setting is beautiful—the barn, the various houses, and the surrounding area—and both Katherine and Daniel are a delight to work with. There is a genuine patina of history throughout the property—a photographer’s dream—coupled with an elegance and artistry that is the perfect backdrop for engagement and wedding images. My experience of photographing at Weatherhead Hollow is that the final images are not only going to reflect the natural beauty of Vermont, but also the joy the wedding party and guests experience in such a special place.

Our stay was exceptional across the board. My wife and I got married the weekend we stayed and we used Weatherhead Hollow as our home base for the wedding parties with a rehearsal dinner and brunch in the barn. The accommodations were clean, homey, and just like the pictures. We poured over Airbnb looking for the right spot and we were not disappointed with what we picked. Katherine and Daniel were accommodating, responsive, and facilitated a fantastic experience. Thank you both again!
