A wedding at Riverside Farm in Vermont offers more than just breathtaking views—it’s an opportunity to weave the beauty, traditions, and culture of New England into a truly unique celebration. From rustic farm elements to seasonal inspirations, incorporating Vermont’s local charm into your ceremony and reception can make your wedding feel deeply personal and memorable.
One of the best ways to bring Vermont’s culture into your wedding is by incorporating local traditions. A covered bridge ceremony or a barn reception reflects the state’s rich history and scenic charm. Serving farm-to-table cuisine featuring Vermont cheddar, maple-infused dishes, and locally sourced ingredients not only enhances the dining experience but also supports local farmers. Adding a maple syrup wedding favor or a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream cart is a sweet way to highlight Vermont’s flavors.
Beyond the ceremony, engaging activities can make the reception more interactive and entertaining for guests. A cozy bonfire with s’mores under the stars, a live folk or bluegrass band, or even a horse-drawn carriage ride can elevate the experience. Lawn games like cornhole and giant Jenga keep guests entertained, while a tasting station featuring Vermont craft beers and ciders adds a local touch. For autumn weddings, consider a cider-tasting bar, a caramel apple station, or even a hayride through the farm’s scenic trails.
Vermont’s seasons bring unique wedding attire considerations. In spring, light, flowing fabrics with floral details are perfect for the crisp air and blooming landscapes, while autumn weddings call for richer tones, long sleeves, and layers to complement the changing foliage. Grooms can embrace a classic yet relaxed look with linen suits in warmer months or tweed vests and wool jackets for fall. Given the cool evening temperatures, stylish shawls or wraps for bridesmaids and guests are a practical and fashionable choice. Comfortable shoes are also a must for navigating the farm’s natural terrain.
To create an engaging atmosphere, fun entertainment ideas can make the celebration unforgettable. Photo booths with rustic-themed props, live painting sessions capturing the ceremony in real-time, and even a local storyteller sharing Vermont’s legends add interactive elements to the event. A live acoustic musician during cocktail hour or a barn dance with a folk band keeps the energy high while embracing the region’s cultural roots. For fall weddings, cozy seating areas with warm blankets and hot cider stations add an extra layer of seasonal charm.
By incorporating Vermont’s local traditions, flavors, and entertainment into your wedding, your celebration at Riverside Farm will be a true reflection of New England’s warmth and charm.
